That is very good results.
My last few years were 26%, 48%, 17%---then came this year!
I was up 17.5% on May 9th 2006 and it plummeted to 0.0% I was heavy in Canadian Trust, Speculative Oil, Palladium & Platimum stocks and many "momentum" ones with high Price/Earnings ratios.
Consequently, I will finish this year at about 5%(about like the NAS exchange).
I got a little too cocky on the P/E and momentums this year. But I still made $55,000 in the market--2006-- because of the great years I have always had in the past. It is all relative!

that is about 4000 factors larger than it replaced into after 9-11-01. It were given somewhat overinflated with the help of those economic analysts who were utilizing inventive accounting procedures. responsible Bush is a finished lack of understanding in economics of a loose organization economic equipment. The Feds earning money so low-cost is extra responsible that the president. i'm a lot more beneficial off now than i replaced into 8 years in the past. I offered some actual sources and my information superhighway well worth is a lot extra now than ever beforehand. I even don't have any stocks except in inflation data industries. i do not supply Bush the credit there both. I did all the artwork fixing up houses so as that they'd promote. He did not help me. I worked difficult for each little thing I were given with out help from George Bush or Barack Obama or all of us else.

The best indexes for the overall stock market in the US are the S&P 500 (GSPC) and the Wiltshire 5000 (DWC) Both are up around 11.2%, so you did much better than the overall market.
Use Yahoo Finance charts. The beta version has excellent graphs.
'The DJIA deals with only 30 companies and is not really all that close to the overall market.

You should find out what is your risk adjusted return, that is what matters the most...not your absolute return
The S&P 500 has a beta of 1 and as mentioned it is up 13%..
Now find out what is ur portfolio beta and then use the CAPM equation to see what the expected return should be on your portfolio.
Re= Rf + beta * market premium
If your return is more than the expected return i would say u have done a gr8 job......cheers......
check the site morning star to know more....
hope that helps........

You've done very well. Congratulations. I've consulted today's Wall Street Journal as well as today's New York Times, and there isn't a single "major stock index of US stocks" that has done as well as you year-to-date. Sure, there are a few foreign stock markets that have done better than you but there are more that haven't matched yours.
However, before you get overly confident, read more about "risk-adjusted returns." It's possible that your results this year reflects more luck than skill. I would urge you to remember that lifelong investment success usuallly comes from a diversified portfolio reflecting high quality investments. Read "Bogle on Funds" by John Bogle.

Depends on how you define "the market". The DOW is up about 14% for the year, and NASDAQ is up around 10%, so you're ahead of those.
