[ryhenry09]

Thought i would start this up.. Throw out some names guys.. What stocks/mutual funds have performed for you guys..??

Stocks-
1) AFLAC (ticker-AFL)......This has been gold for me.. I started this stock about 8yrs ago. I have made of 150% off this stock... Pays a dividend which is always GREAT.

2) RPM (ticker-RPM)........Another stock that has made me about 100%. Owned this one about 8yrs as well. THis stock pays a GREAT dividend. I think it has a yield of almost 5% which is great. Solid stock

3) NENG / TRLG / PTN - Those are the tickers.. These 3 stocks have great potential IMO. I have already posted about NENG, that has really taken off, and it has alot more to go... TRLG is the company, True Religion. Some of you may be familiar with there line of clothing. Another one that is very promising. PTN- In the process of making a miracle "sex" drug..

Those are just a few. I will add more in the next few days.

Mutual Funds -

1)Dodge&Cox Stock Fund (ticker- DODGX).....This fund is amazing.. Always performs well. Low expense ratio. Good holding. Smart Fund Managers. Cant go wrong here.

2) Dodge&Cox Balanced Fund (ticker- DODBX).......See above.. Another solid choice

Mid-Cap and Small Cap Funds are great as well. They have really taken off lately. Fidelity has a couple good ones.

In the past my best performer has been Electronic Arts (ERTS). All you guys out there who kept buying those Madden games every year helped pad my bottom line.

Recently I made a nice play on Motorola (MOT) near its 52 week low of 15 and sold off a couple months ago at 24. Qualcomm (QCOM) and Best Buy (BBY) also did well for me 1-2 years ago.

I've had a risky love/hate relationship with Martek (MATK). They specialize in nutritional oils used in baby formula. They're on the verge of some major deals with food companies as well. Volatile stock that has taken turns making money and then punching me in the gut shortly thereafter!

Cree Inc (CREE) is one I really like in the next couple years for their efforts in the LED business. Once the technology improves, LED's will basically dominate the lighting industry. CLRK is another play in that avenue.

Dom - Like the Cree pick

My fav over the last year has been the Fidelity Contra (FCNTX) I believe it returned ~18%.

I have also really enjoyed tracking the no load fund x newsletter. I really wish I invested in their picks over the last year.

McDonalds baby!!!

also, hedge funds are all over Sears because even if they fail in the department store industry, they have a ton of real estate that they could sell for billions

WDC, BMRN, AWGI, RADN, a lot of big performers over the past year.
