If I took you for a ride, would you take it wrong?
Or would you make it right, make it right?
Looking for a pedestal that I can put you on
And be on my way, on my way
I also have a 11th watchlist entitled "Short List" (which, ironically, is the longest list of all) consisting of the stocks that I actually pay attention to, and have varying degrees of intent for addition to my portfolio in the future.
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 284 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.
I will track these and post an update one year from now. Find out how the choices of the last five years performed: 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016.
