The “Big Ticket Index” made a profit of $8,480 overall, with $4,039 of that coming from the largest individual gainer, Pfizer Incorporated. This profit is the largest of the three long-term investments. The profit gained by holding our five big ticket stocks for two months yielded over a 22% APY, many times the return from the high yield savings account and 4% APY higher than the return on the mutual fund. The purchase of the “Big Ticket” stocks was both more consistent than the mutual fund and the most profitable of the long-term options. Of the three long-term options we evaluated, it was the best in every measurable way.
