If high returns are a foreshadowing of a terrible returns to come, my 2010 YTD returns almost ensure a year of sub-mediocrity in 2011.

As of last week, my 2010 YTD returns marched solidly past 50%. In addition, both The Buckle and Columbia Sportswear declared a special one-time dividend of $2.50 and $1.50 per share respectively, both payable in December, which for me is an undesired, but significant sum.

The Buckle, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Net Income and Announces a $2.50 Per Share Special One-Time Cash Dividend

Columbia Sportswear Unveils $1.50-A-Share Special Dividend

The following is a graph of my holdings. The weighting of each stock can be found at my web site.

2010 YTD (not including dividends)
NASDAQ +9.8%
S&P/TSX +9.1%
S&P500 +5.8%
DOW +5.7%

The JayZ quote in my sig really resonated with me and I continue to run my finances like the great businesses that I admire and that I'm invested in.

Best regards.
