Greetings, Warriors,
Here are some quickly-made, unrinsed tables showing where the gains are for some of the
popular board tickers, plus a few from Stock Adviser and Rule Breakers that seem interesting.
Keep in mind that the first column is only March to date.
I would not advise going by returns to choose stocks. I was simply running some dbases through
the paces and thought someone might like to see how all the stocks were doing in one place. The
second table is the same as the first but contains the ranking for each time period, obviously
the higher gains being ranked lower. (Best returner is #1, etc.) Also, some companies don’t have
much history.
Sorry for the poor formatting. If you want the data, I suggest copying it into a spreadsheet so
you can sort it any way you want. Which reminds me (the bad formatting) in the second table,
the last column is the average rank for all periods, with no penalty for empty data cells (newly
public companies). The reason? Everyone has their favorite time period for measurement and I don’t
know yours. So I took 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12-month readings. Again, the first column is only a few
days. The last table is average ranking, ordered by rank. Others are in alphabetical order.
You shouldn’t have to be warned about such things, I know. Still, please be careful. The market
gives nothing away. You have to be awfully lucky, or you have to earn it. I like to do both.
And no matter what you may hear, higher gains means taking on greater risk, period.
Be good, be smart, invest well.
Dan
(This formatting is terrible and I’m out of time. If I could fit it in, the top heading would say
“Gains since …” to today, but I can’t. The periods are as follows:)
