End of the year.. good time to review where you at.
Clear out the losers from your portfolio and try to replace them with something better.
My investments in FTSE 100 companies are up 15.79%
Which sounds Okay but probably not a good return on the level risk.
Would have made a similar return on buying a house in london and saved on tax and rent.
Plus it was almost impossible not to make money on the FTSE this year, which means it will probably all unwind soon enough.
My biggest gains where in RBS, BAE & Betfair
(had a feeling a 100% government owned bank wouldn't fail)
(that war with china has got to start sooner or later)
(inflation proof businesses are hard to find)
What were your biggest wins / loses investment wise 2013?
