On Dec 3 2012 I published these 2013 selections convinced that it would be a good year for investors and I believe with low interest rates and employment numbers improving we will see another good year in 2014.
The average for 2013 came out to 42.4% outperforming the S&P again.
Please note I haven't added dividends or transaction fees.
The only loser was Research in Motion now known as Blackberry down 37% for the year.
I believe with a little more time Blackberry will reinvent itself and post some impressive gains.
.
As always I do this to put my ideas on the line and to demonstrate how little I know.
Please DO NOT take this as financial advice.
Wishing you my very best in 2014 Ron Taylor
