The above mentioned data shows the realized profits / losses I have made since I started investing. Some returns are as nasty as -59.12% and some as good as 48.65%. The average holding time of these scrips works out to be 205.64 days. So, I should minimally qualify as a medium term investor :-).

Overall, the return from realized profits is poor. Only 14.34%.
