<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 3981780, member: 5787"]With the start of the new decade, I thought it was a good time to update the various investment categories from last year (2019). It was a really good year for most investments. The Dow Jones gained 22.3%, the S&P 500 28.9%, and the Nasdaq 35.2%. Silver recovered in 2019 and up by 15.2%. Other investments were also OK in 2019 including most of my bond funds (8-11%) and Euro Pacific funds (15-16%). I continued to make modest gains in my safe investments including Met Life Stable Value fund (2.78%) and I-bonds (3.07%). My Money Market was not particularly great in 2019 at about 2.2%. Overall, my rather risky portfolio was up about 21%, which was the 5th best performance in the past 27 years. The inflation rate remained low in 2019 at 2.0%, which may rise a little depending on the CPI from December. Thus, my total gain is 19% (21% minus the 2% inflation), which doesn't include the capital gains taxes on my non-tax deferred investments. As I near retirement, I've moved the first five years of needs into safer investments but I'm still highly invested in equities (US and Euro Pacific). I sold my silver ETF's at 17.13 and used the proceeds on a down payment for a condo in Florida.
