A thousand doors, a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
I walk in the cold sun and wind
All these years can not begin
"I have completed the yearly effort to update the 'Short List' by combing through all 11 watchlists, looking for one particular characteristic: the stock must have consistently outperformed the market, across several historical time horizons.
The following 170 stocks made the cut. They may have questionable valuation/financials, or lack upside due to shear size, or participate in a boring business, or represent additional risks going forward; but if the point of investing in individual stocks is to beat the broader market, all of these stocks have a history of doing exactly just that...which may be the most fundamental characteristic of all."
One year later, it is time to review the results of my would-be superlist:
- 81 of 170 stocks (48%) outperformed the NASDAQ Composite;
- an additional 4 stocks (2%) outperformed the S&P 500;
- an additional 57 stocks (34%) increased in value;
- an additional 25 stocks (15%) decreased in value; and
- the remaining 3 stocks no longer trade as independent companies.
See below for the full list results.
