I Turned $3,000 Into $210,000

By Selena Maranjian (TMF Selena)
May 10, 2006

This article's salacious headline might smack of exaggeration -- but believe it or not, it's true.

How it happened
Picture it: New Jersey, 1995. Though not yet a Fool employee, I was an avid reader of the Fool's online site -- perhaps like you. The Fool's founding brothers, David and Tom Gardner, were occasionally recommending stocks, and one of their recommendations was an online service provider called America Online.

I was still quite new to investing, and I didn't know enough to do much of my own research. But at least I had one thing going for me: I was an AOL customer. I used the service every day, and I liked what I saw of its user-friendliness, usefulness, and potential. So I bought. I snapped up $3,000 worth of shares and hung on.

Over the following years, the stock would go up and down, sometimes significantly, but I kept holding on. Overall, it mainly went up, and it split and split. I remember checking my portfolio regularly -- several times a day! -- to see how rich I was becoming. I think that near the stock's peak, I was in possession of a 70-bagger! My $3,000 investment had become worth $210,000. If it doubled in value only two more times, I'd be (almost) a millionaire! All from a measly $3,000 investment.

Did I sell shares along the ride up? No. Did I sell at least some near the top, when my mom told me to? Nope. (That strange thudding sound you hear is me kicking myself.) I kept holding on. AOL merged with Time Warner in 2001, and ever since then, the stock has struggled. I remember when the shares were priced in the $70s, but it's a fuzzy memory. They've been below $20 for around four years now. I did sell a big chunk of my shares -- in the teens -- when I needed money for a down payment on my house. And I finally got smart and sold some shares to diversify into some other stocks, instead of holding such a big chunk of my net worth in a company in which I no longer had the most faith.

I still hold some shares, though, and despite my inclination to curse my stupidity for not selling earlier, I'm still sitting on a handsome profit, even at current levels. My cost basis is ridiculously low, and this has still been one of my best investments ever. I really shouldn't complain.

How you can do it
If any of this story appeals to you, know that you have a chance to make it yours -- perhaps with an even happier ending -- if you make a few decisions differently:

• First, pay attention to products and services you know, use, and love -- especially if you see more and more people using them. There may a great stock behind them, no matter whether they're big or small companies. Years ago, a few now-wealthy investors noticed that a coffee vendor named Starbucks was starting to spread out. And some early users of eBay's service probably saw the financial potential of the company long before you and I did. Plenty of well-known companies have done phenomenally well over the past decade or two. Are you a devotee of Hansen's (Nasdaq: HANS) Natural Sodas or its Monster Energy drinks? Do you occasionally pump gas into your car at a Valero (NYSE: VLO) station? Do you buy your clothes, or your children's clothes, at American Eagle Outfitters (Nasdaq: AEOS)? Do you buy your organic broccoli at Whole Foods Market (Nasdaq: WFMI)? Well, Hansen has been the best stock of the past decade, appreciating more than 24,000% between 1996 and 2005. American Eagle Outfitters gained nearly 5,000% during that decade, turning a $2,000 investment into nearly $100,000. Valero has increased in value sixfold over just the past five years, and Whole Foods has advanced fivefold. These companies have performed spectacularly right under our noses.
  
  
• Along those same lines, be wary of what you don't understand. If you don't understand a business, you probably won't be able to understand when business is going badly.
  
  
• If you buy in to a company hoping that it will be a multibagger for you, buy to hold. As long as you have faith in the company's future, it's often best to just hang on, despite inevitable hiccups. Don't let some naysayers in the media get you out of a stock because of short-term concerns if you still have long-term confidence. Consider Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) or Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT). Both stocks have earned incredible returns for early investors, but both stocks have somewhat stalled since 2000.
  
  This isn't to say that either Dell or Wal-Mart is a great buy going forward, but both stocks prove that as long as you get in early and hold on, the market will work for you. Despite the past five or so years of weakness, both Wal-Mart and Dell have made good money for investors over the past decade. Stocks are dynamic, and you're likely to lose more money trying to time them than you are just sitting tight.
  
  
• Do consider selling at least some of your shares if they rise to levels you can't justify. That was my main mistake -- irrationally and greedily hoping to get even richer. If a stock is trading for more than you know in your heart that it's worth, and you still hang on, you're no longer investing -- you're speculating, at great risk.
  
  
• Finally, consider checking out the stocks that David and Tom Gardner are recommending now. Their Motley Fool Stock Advisor newsletter service, launched in April 2002, offers two picks (and two investing styles) each month. On average, their recommendations are up 68%, versus 24% for like amounts invested in the S&P 500.

They have a few losers, of course, but these two picks show just how fast your money can grow. You can try Stock Advisor free for 30 days -- and you'll have full access to past recommendations.

Here's to big profits in your future!

Auszug aus einem Börsenwerbebrief:

Case Study:
Hansen Natural

The Fizz Bizz has gone flat: Coca Cola and Pepsi haven’t seen a growth spurt in decades.  Coke sales are down 10% since 2000, and market share is slipping.

Meanwhile, the trend is away from fizzy sugar water.  People are reading the labels, picking up green tea, adding calcium, boosting soy.

And relegating Coke and Pepsi to a nostalgia niche.

When you can distinguish between a trend, which this clearly is, and a fad, you have eliminated a lot of pseudo Super Growth stocks.

Hansen Natural, however, is the REAL thing.  Hansen’s fiercely innovative non-fizzy energy drinks have turned the whole soft drinks category on its ear.

• Fundamentals?  Hansen’s earnings are growing at least 30% a year (Coke’s are growing 7%)  Check.

• Market beating returns?  Hansen is up 1,167%, yet its price-earnings multiple is still in the mid-teens.  Check.

• On the move?  Daily trading volume tripled in May 2004 and Emerging Growth subscribers bought 3 weeks later for a 1,167% profit since.  This heart-pounding pace is accelerating, doubling investors money in the most recent quarter.  So: check.

• Still under-priced?  It’s not a gizmo, it’s not glamorous, and analysts’ expectations continue to be low.  And every time Hansen beats estimates, the stock leaps.  Check!

Did You See
ANY Guesswork
Here?

Of course not!  Every single thing Emerging Growth subscribers have done with Hansen Natural for the past 18 months has been BASED ON THE FACTS!

Facts that have turned into a 1,167% profit.

Das kann doch wohl nicht sein. Quelle von Yahoo, Finanzen.

Wenn Aktienunternehmen, größere Kursgewinne machen, fangen sie an hochnäßig zu werden.

Wie bei Vivacon, und wenn Investoren anfragen, wegen der HV, dann bekommen sie keine Antworten, auch wenn sie von Übersee kommen. Das gefällt mir ganz und gar nicht.

Es gibt bei dieser Firma bis heute noch keine Dividenden. Das ist schon merkwürdig bei dem Kurs!

 

 

Hansen gibt keinerlei Antwort auf Anfragen bezüglich der HV in Corona, der Anfahrt etc..

 

Very unfriendly, the Hansen directories and their Investor Relationships.

Und warum gibt es eigentlich keine Dividenden? Bei dem Kurs??

Geschäftsbericht habe ich auch noch nciht erhalten, habe ich sonst von allen US Werten automatisch erhalten zur HV.

 

pro 1 Aktie erhält der Aktionär 3 neue dazu. Kurs wird dann auch geviertelt.

deshalb heute um 7 % im Minus  

Begründung: Hansen hat im 2.Quartal die Erwartungen der Analysten genau getroffen und nicht, wie in den Vorquartalen, deutlichen übertroffen, daher die Abschläge.
Das muß man sich mal auf der Zunge zergehen lassen: Es gibt Kursabschläge wenn die Prognosen getroffen werden,d.h. es wird nur positiv bewertet, wenn ein Unternehmen die Analysten mal wieder als Deppen outet, indem es deren Prognosen übertrifft.

verfehlt. Daher geht's natürlich bei einem so gehypeten Wert nach unten. So ist nun mal Börse...

NEW YORK, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Hansen Natural Corp. (HANS.O: Quote, Profile, Research), maker of Monster brand energy drinks, on Monday reported earnings a penny aufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamshort of analysts' estimates after more than a year of better-than-expected profit growth, stoking concerns about a slowdown in the fast-growing energy drinks market.

Shares plummeted 17 percent to their lowest level since April.

Industrywide U.S. sales in the high-margin energy drinks market -- drinks that typically contain caffeine, vitamins and other ingredients designed to boost energy -- are expected to jump more than 70 percent this year, industry observers said. Nevertheless, the company fell short.


"Expectations were for a number toward the higher end of the range," Canaccord Adams analyst Stephen Colbert. "People are looking for a sign of a slowdown, and for some people, this will be perceived as that sign."

The company posted earnings of $28.2 million, or 28 cents a share, up from $15.2 million, or 16 cents per share, a year earlier. The per-share figures take into account a 4-for-1 stock split declared in June.

Wall Street analysts were expecting earnings in the range of 25 cents to 34 cents or an average of 29 centsaufmerksamaufmerksam a share, according to Reuters Estimates.

Canaccord Adams\' Colbert, who has a "hold" rating on the stock and was expecting earnings of 26 cents a share, said Monster was still growing "at an extraordinary rate."

Goldman Sachs analyst Andrew Sawyer said Hansen\'s second-quarter earnings per share were lower than his expectations of 34 cents a share, largely because of higher packaging and merchandising expenses.
aufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamaufme­rksam
Net sales for the second quarter jumped 82.6 percent to $156.0 million, beating Wall Street expectations of $152.5 million.
aufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamaufmerksamaufme­rksam
But again, sales grew at a slower pace than Goldman Sachs\' analyst Andrew Sawyer\'s estimate of 95 percent.

"The slower sales growth was likely due in part to slowing distribution expansion in advance of the transition to Budweiser wholesalers," wrote Sawyer in a research note.

In May, Hansen Natural said some distributors of Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. (BUD.N: Quote, Profile, Research), maker of Budweiser beer, will take on distribution of Hansen\'s energy drinks, boosting investor confidence on Hansen\'s growth prospects.


NOT "FAVORITE" ANY MORE

Goldman Sachs\' Sawyer, whose "outperform" initiation of his "favorite soft drink stock" pushed the stock to a new life high in May, cut his 12-month price target on Hansen Natural by $7.50 to $55.

He also reduced his earnings per share outlook by 4 cents to 34 cents for the third quarter and to 28 cents for the fourth quarter.

Hansen's stock had surpassed several lifetime highs this year, partly because of confidence in the growth prospects for energy drinks and also because hedge funds were forced to cover their short positions by buying shares.

Industrywide U.S. sales in the energy drinks market are expected to jump more than 70 percent this year from $3.5 billion in 2005, according to the trade magazine Beverage Digest
That growth path contrasts with a fall in soft-drink volume sales in 2005 for the first time in two decades, according to Beverage Digest.

But on Thursday, Citigroup lowered its rating on Hansen to "hold" from "buy" and reduced its target price on the stock to $51 from $51.25, saying it found the stock less compelling as it had appreciated over the past few months. The stock closed about 7 percent lower that day.

In a research note last week, Goldman's Sawyer had asked investors to buy into the weakness in the stock following Citigroup's rating cut.

The stock, which had almost doubled in value in 2006 as of Friday\'s close, was up only 65 percent for the year after its disappointing results, trading at 29 times expected 2006 earnings.

Hansen shares were down 17 percent at $33.26, making it one of the top three percentage losers on the Nasdaq.
