I was kind of surprised myself (hope I haven't miscalculated somewhere <ggg>), since I've only been trading for two years, and not full-time until mid-year this year (my Realtor duties take up a lot of the spring months).
To be honest, I would have to admit a lot of the gain came from the PMs. I bought/sold gold bullion in the '70's and have owned gold stocks since '87. After 20 years of no returns on the gold stocks, this year has been FUN!
