In stock long term investments can be made for say 2 or 3 years. 20 years is a real big time. Make money with shares in a more informative way. Stock market investments require periodic revision and improvement in the portfolios. |

Look up "The Rule of 72." Money doubles at the rate of interest divided into the number 70. You're talking about turning $50,000 into $300,000 in 20 years, which would be 250% in 20 years, which would be an interest rate of 9%, which is very doable. I just don't know if these stocks would do it. You want to invest in stocks that pay a dividend, because they're most likely to be successful over the long term. Also, you should pay attention to your investments or have someone you pay to pay attention to them, and for $50,000, you can afford to put some money into that. |

No you would need to use a mutual fund with someone managing it to change the stocks or monitor it yourself. Leaving it for 20 years and you could have less than the $10,000 from the stocks crashing. |

Let me show you something. This is how you compound money (in this case quarterly)
Answer=Principle*(1+ Interest / compound) ^ (compound*time)
10,000 invested for 20 yrs at 8% (a conservative estimate)
$48,754.39 =10000*(1+.08/4)^(4*20)
10,000 invested for 20 yrs at 11% (not so likely)
$87,608.54 =10000*(1+.11/4)^(4*20)
Your answer is...NO
An important note:
There is absolutely no way of knowing how much the stocks you chose will earn. However, chances are...You Will Lose.
Professional money managers lose against the market 75% of the time over a period of 10 yrs or more.
Do not try to beat the market.
Invest in Index funds that mimic the market, in this way you will not beat the market, but you will also not under perform the market. |

that would be a return of around 9.5% a year compounded. sounds reasonable, but if you put your money in the market at the wrong time and you lose 60% the first year, you will have to earn about 15% a year for the next 19 years |

Hi
If you put $10.000 into each of these ETF`s the movement of the trading vehicle will go up and down and without constantly monitoring it may lose you money. There is no point in just expecting nonsense answers when you should known that Index Markets go up as well down and so should your daily fund management skills in predicting whether or not to remain in the market as to the sustaining or declining to your initial fund.
Leave this type of investment to a professional fund manager either your bank or nearest ISP agent.

Hey Boss,
Your approach is brilliant, put your money into the market and let it ride for 20 years. You'll save an enormous amount of money in transaction costs and taxes by investing this way, there's no better way to build wealth. The only improvement I would suggest would be to drop the individual stocks such as PCL because who knows if they'll even be around for the next 20 years. Find yourself another Index tracking investment vehicle like VTI and VEU instead.
My only suggestion would be to add an Index Fund to your list of ETFs. Why? Dollar cost averaging. Most index funds are like regular mutual funds, you can add money whenever you want without being charged transaction fees. Their expense ratios are competitive with ETFs, they're great investments too. If you're looking for a complete guide to ETFs and Index Funds, you can find a good one at http://www.money-and-investing.com/Best-Index-Funds.html.
The average return for the S&P 500 since 1975 has been 10.75%, Boss and that doesn't even include the dividends. There's no better way to invest your money, Index Investing is a low maintenance and low stress strategy that wills till allow you to beat about 80% of professional money managers.
Best of luck to you, although I don't think you'll need it based on your investment approach,
Cheers and post back to the boards now and then to let us know how you're doing,
