I've been buying individual securities for about a year (all my registered stuff is indexed, so I only invest with non-registered funds in individual securities).
So far, the best I've been able to manage is 2.5 bagger in the public market - not too bad considering the last year. Sadly it was a small position of around 5K of tck.b - more of a bet than anything. Representing a small percentage of the overall picture, I could resist picking up the cigar butt. I couldn't lose more than 5K, but if returns to even half of it's former glory, then the dividends might soon exceed the purchase price.
I had a bagger in the thousands with the shares of my business and thanks to the exemption was able to take the gain tax free.
What's your bagger record? What was it? Did you think about unloading sooner? Did you plan to keep it forever? Do you still have it? Which one got away from you?
