What is the best return you gained on an investment?

I invested $6 at the track and got $1800 back in 2 minutes, nothing has ever beat that.

GTCB - set to Soar!!! get on board with the goats....

It was a wager made at the track. Long shots, when they hit, are a good thing.

300% during the dot com boom.

invested $3 in cheap champagne in college and got lucky with my girl. That's a solid ROI

Real Estate! First home in NJ, purchased in the mid 80's and kept it for 6 years and it doubled in value. Second was in NC in the early 90's and kept it for 12 years and it doubled in value. The present in FL, I only had for 2 years, and it's almost 1 3/4 times the purchase price already.

In late 1999 I was making easy money in the stock market, and have made money on every piece of real estate owned. However, the quickest and greatest return has been at the race track--$100 on the nose of a 20-1 long shot.

I bought 1000 shares of America Online for $41.00 back in the day when I was young, dumb and poor. (1997)

I still hold them and I plan to give them to my grandchildren after I am dead.

I am still buying more of them (The company is now called Time Warner and the symbol is TWX) and I have NEVER SOLD ONE SHARE OF TIME WARNER IN MY LIFE.

You do the math!
