   Oh I am full on 'gainers; but accept a lower rate of return for not   
   reading the financial papers every day and spending my life trading.   
      
   I let other people do that now. I.e I invested in funds.   
   I have some stock, but the bulk is in funds. Mainly global energy and   
   tech. Return fluctuates, but 7-10% is not infeasible with very little   
   effort.
