BA and GE.
Luckily, the gains did offset the losses by quite a margin.

I think GE will be most of our worst investments for 2017. It was mine. Best was probably AAPL.

Best: MSFT
Worst: OHI (Bought right before the lawsuit-stuff and sold with 10% or something loss)

Let's answer the same question in 10 years, until then it's just about the share price. But I certainly don't want to ruin the game!
Best: bought BA still in 2016, so it doesn't count Abbvie, VFC, Grainger and Magna. Still happy about MO, WSM, XOM, LOW, HD.
Worst: altough I'm almost even, Foot Locker. OHI is a big minus, but I'm still happy about it.

Binary Foot Locker will continue to be a great stock heading into 2018. I own myself and added more at $33.
My biggest winner were V, UNH, HD, SWK and TXN
I'm hoping MO, CVS and XOM are my big winners in 2018

Depends how we look at it.
Overall the best I had in my portfolio has to be RTN, though I've owned this company for a number of years. If we look at companies that I started buying in 2017, then AMAT has to take the cake. And while I've owned AT&T even before 2017, I'm sure that my decision to add more T at a price below $33 will bear fruit in the coming years.
Worst: This is easy. No matter how we look at it, OHI. It's the only one in my portfolio that is currently showing a loss. But I don't mind owning OHI, in fact I'll probably add a little as long as the price stays low.

Regarding D. I own as well and I am not liking the deal today. 14 Billon debt.... Buying a failed company with law suits. Hmmm buying Scana makes no sense to me. I may sell today and put it into AEP.

A new Duluth Trading Company opened up where I live and I was really impressed with the quality of the product and the feel of the store. It was also quite busy while I was there. The company has a strong on-line business and is now expanding its physical footprint with new stores across the country. I thought it was worth throwing $500 at it to see where it goes.
As for D, I think selling would be a big mistake. They picked off SCANA at a bargain price and the deal will open up a new, growing, region to Dominion's service territory.
Here is the presentation from D: http://investors.dominionenergy.com/stat...618e902fc7
The deal is immediately accretive, and is expected to bump D's growth rate to 8%+ going forward. I don't know many 4% yielding utilities around growing at a high single-digit rate with 10%+ dividend growth. If you know of another, please let me know! =)

Non-DGI allowed without getting kicked out
Best move: Getting into crypto space during the summer because the latest craze took over. Overall crypto portfolio is up 4x, with one of my tokens (only ICO I participated in) 9x.
Worst move: Too many (about 4 of them) speculative precious metal exploration company bets

Man, well done. I never really had faith in those, I played with bitcoin back in the day... I mean... years ago. And I know I still have like 0.01 somewhere but I can't remember where
But no, I never expected them to become this big. Not by a long shot. I see a little bit of potential in some of them but there really is so many to choose from. What sort of a strategy did you use? I've been pondering about just $50 or $100 into 10 different ones, all of which are under $1 each. And then just wait and see. But this I wouldn't even call investing, it's lottery at best.
