I bought DO at the beginning of the year after taking a nice profit on BP. I was in for the extra dividend which gave me a fast %5 return. I've lived through some dips but am very pleased with the current stock price and looking forward to next year's extra dividend...

They are obviously headed for number 1 car maker in US and Worldwide. In addition, they have a strong presence in the growing field of robotics. (See IRBT also) This was probably my easiest and best pick for 2006. Now in 2007, seeing some pull back as people worry about weak US economy. I'm sticking with it and expect to be rewarded by the end of the year or sooner. Toyota is certainly not dependent on US for it's profits now that it is #1 in the world.

I sold my FRK too soon. Ouch!! I took my relatively small profit and reinvested in the sector through EXP - a very undervalued company. It has exposure to the building industry through sheet rock but it is the low price producer in this market. It's recent earnings report demonstrated that it is firing on all cylinders!

Premiere deal maker in the US. Looks like 2007 will be another banner year for those deals.

Least value based investment but I believe robots are the today what PCs were in the early '80s. I want to ride the wave into the future. Looks like military contracts will be the big driver for 2007.
