early friday had the monthly shareclub meeting. 7-9. at the end after talking about income trusts and the government, someone gave me a chart by edward jones.
it showed what some stocks that they are now covering have returned in the past ten year if you invested 10,000.
this is April 2006-April 1996
most of these stocks trade in cdn. and the US.
stock price april 2006 return div started
CNR (CNI) $51.10 10,000 133,773 1996
TD $62.70 10,000 70,285 1857
Riocan REI 20.92 10,000 89,226 1994
RBC RY 47.40 10,000 79,142 1870
Petro Canada PCA 55 10,000 70,615 1991
WalMArt 45.93 10,000 40,505 1973
Well Fargo WFC 68 10,000 48,179 1939
Enbridge ENB 33.24 10,000 57,397 1952
TransCanada TRP 32.70 10,000 33,407 1964
most of the stocks listed are now higher, well except PCA. which I own, though it is slowly moving higher.
assumes dividends were reinvested. Own Riocan, ENB, in DRIP/SPP.
own all of these stocks exceptWFC, Walmart. after looking at these probably should have owned more.... :shrug:
anyways just shows what a good company can do over the long term, or 10 years.
thanks
