Venture Exchange is down at 4 and 5 year lows, must be off 60 % or more in that time. What on earth did you have in there for it to be up so much? EUO you mentioned and PKK but to offset all the losing stocks most people have, I'm seriously impressed with your portfolio! Talk about beating the 99%....
Out of all the stocks I own (20+), only EUO is not down this year and many of the others are down 50, 70 or 80% since I bought them. EUO being up isn't close to offsetting all the losses.
Diversified into all different sectors. Only commonality is that they are all Canadian, which has been the biggest problem with our weak dollar hurting too.
 

Thanks. I guess I should also add I've only put $25K into my TFSA as well. Screen capture below so you know I'm not BS'ing you while all possible account details/positions are hidden for privacy. As you can see I've taken some hits too, well one big one in particular...but historically I've taken a lot of profits and I'm very happy with the three gainers that have grown to dominate my portfolio at ~20% each. Two you already know. The third I won't bother mentioning...got into a huge fight a while back with shawshank about it LOL no harm intended none taken and don't wish to bring up old fights nor get off topic to the EUO board. But as you see I've been rewarded with $5K/25% gain on it so I have no complaints.

As far as which stocks I've invested in, in the past...generally the bullboards I posted on extensively in a bullish manner on SH would be those picks.

I was looking at your market and book values of the TFSA...it indicates $80,000 in capital loss across I think I saw 5/6 investements and $20G's in gains in just 2 holdings? For a net loss in the TFSA of $60G's from your copy and paste tonite Re 38?

FWIW this past year of 2015 I have not faired much better but did lock in gains in EUO when i removed my own principal on the triple on my original positoin and locked in gains on V.PSP earlier on this fall. But its not unique to just small cap holdings...but overall would be in the red vs black from overall return...i lost a good chunk of change no KEEK before cutting bait and moving on....that was the biggest hit this year for me....I have some blue chip stuff in the US like Berkshire Hathaway hardly been a world beater and a negative return this year and that's Buffet of all people running that show.

Oddly enough I  moved some fund into the US Dollar Epoch Large Cap Value fund in TD's No Load Mutual funds back in late summer and I put $500 a month into it since then-and have seen a 50% return on that fund without having to watch the damn thing at all lol.
