The Market’s 10 Best Stocks
- 3 Comment
I usually try not to post articles from other site, but I found a good article at the Motley Fool that I enjoyed. It talks about the stocks that have had the greatest return over the last decade. The list is as follows:
Company, Current Market Cap, Return Since 1/1/96
Hansen Natural (Nasdaq: HANS), $1,850, 24,185%
Chico’s (NYSE: CHS), $7,780, 17,600%,
NVR (AMEX: NVR), $4,360, 7,150%
Christopher & Banks (NYSE: CBK), $650, 6,795%
Meritage Homes (NYSE: MTH), $1,800, 5,860%
American Eagle Outfitters (Nasdaq: AEOS), $3,140, 4,850%
Comtech Telecommunications (Nasdaq: CMTL), $715, 4,315%
SCP Pool (Nasdaq: POOL), $2,000, 4,090%
Engineered Support Systems (Nasdaq: EASI), $1,730, 3,800%
Jos. A. Bank (Nasdaq: JOSB), $580, 3,790%
Total Average Return = 8,240%
Total Annualized Return = 55.6%
Pretty amazing stuff. What I found really interesting was the only ones I have ever heard of is AEOS and EASI. The other ones were totally foreign to me. Kind of makes you think that looking for winners in the bigs is not as well rewarded as looking for these types of stocks. But then I remember, it can be kind of like picking out a needle in a haystack – just dumb luck if you happen to find it!!!

I signed up for a free trial of The Motley Fool newsletter before. I use to really like them but I’ve found they repeat a lot of articles and they’re selling a product like anyone else. I had a bad experience with them and canceled my subscription. Maybe they just decided on a few bad recommendations during my time there. Does anyone else have or has had a better experience with them?

Our site might help with your “haystack” problem. It lists dividend stocks in order of highest yield. There’s also a list of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates. Most of the highest payers you’ve probably never heard of, but they pay really well.

Dividend Guy:
Do you know which online brokers allow dividends to automatically be re-invested? Scottrade is good on most points, but they do not allow dividend re-investment, even if requested. Thanks-
