lacoste | Is it possible to grow your investments or shares on the NYSE by 100% or more every year? |
If so, do you know someone who has done it or is doing it? |

Warren Buffett - the world's best investor- has averaged in the region of around 25 % a year. Given he has done it really consistently for a long time- 40 years. So consider this before you belive what some investors tell you |

It's theoretically possible, but extraordinarily unlikely. You'd need to choose stocks that go up in value far faster than the overall market (which grows by 10% or so on average) and knowing which stocks those are -- even for a short time -- is the goal of millions of investors.
Even the most brilliant men in the world of finance don't make anywhere near 100%. If Warren Buffett is held up as the best in the world, then his 25% return on investment has to be considered the maximum sustainable level.
(Note that Buffett's personal wealth is $40 billion or so -- 100% profit isn't really necessary) :-)

No it's practially impossible.
It is possible to double your money within a year if you invest in volatile stocks, in the same way as it's possible to walk into a casino and double your money in one night. It's just not something you can do reliably.
Even professional investors find it hard to consistantly beat 10% p.a. |

All the answers are going to be just about the same: "Possible...BUT not very likely!"
What you're doing is hoping ( after study) that the companies you invest in will have a good year... even then very few companies grow or earn 100% in any year... and because you have to " spread your money out" ( diversify)...you usually pick 5 or 6 or more different companies....which helps when some companies have bad weeks or months, but makes it even more unlikely that EVERYTHING you pick is going to do well.
In my personal accounts last year... one company, ANST, is up 60%... and I really didn't think that was going to be like that! I do have a couple of mutual funds that have made like 150% in two and a half years...EUROX, FEMKX... but that 100% in one year ...sorry, still out of reach. |

yes, it is possible. darned unlikely though. to do this you'd need omniscience.
nope. i know many people who CLAIM to have done it, but all went strangely silent when i asked for documentation. |

it is very hard to do but possible and it takes a lot of knowledge, time, research and trading. I wouldn't count on consistent returns like this as the best investors average in the 20 percents over long periods of time. there are daytraders and option traders that can do so quite often but you must really know what you are doing. many people consider realistic returns to be around 8-12%
to the pessimiss above I gained over 120% in the third quarter of 2006 alone and I do have documentation but i also don't think people are going to jump to show you personal statements with account numbers and other info on it. |
