What happened to all the 20, 25 & 30%+ stocks?

(1/5) > >>

yozzi:
Not so long ago we were reaping the rewards of stocks like the INDI, CML, etc with 20-30% annual gains being the norm but what's happened to the market and will it turn around any time soon?

Is anyone still making this type of growth or is it just a pipedream?

KAP

Resource shares in general are probably a "better" bet if you are willing to risk it.

That strong bull run after the 2008 crash lasted for about 5 years but it is over. The ALSI has been flat for 2 years. Luckily my dividends are 60% of my living costs.  :wall:

Those who look at stats may ponder the under mentioned numbers

ALSI hit an all time high 55,298.92 on 24/4/2015 and is currently sitting at 51.649.14 - which is quite a retracement (probably affected by the stronger Rand)
Top40 hit an all time high 49,192.90 on 4/12/2015 and is currently sitting at 44,618.67 - again quite a sizeable retracement

On my personal portfolio I have budgeted an 18% annual increase in the portfolio value growth - I missed out in 2007 and 2008 but have more than recovered these shortfalls, however last year my growth was almost half the budget figure and though February to date has been more than satisfactory I think the rest of the year could be flat and possibly even go into decline for the year. I think our market is going to take some battering due to political issues rather than fundamentals - so expect another year at least of rocky roads - especially as we have ANC changing of the guards at the end of this year and then a run up to 2019 national elections 

Mr_Dividend:
Pretty hard when GDP is <2%

That said, there are companies that do still have impressive earnings growth - EOH on a fairly undemanding p/e, COH on a high p/e - sure there are many others with a 3+ years decent growth.
