I'm reading the Kiplinger Retirement Report, a pay-for service newsletter. I'm reading the December 2009 issue, and it's interesting to see what they said then, and how it's worked out. There is one article where they identified 4 great stocks to have during the "coming" recovery. I've shown them below.
UPS - their biggest winner. It was trading at $58 at that time, and is now at $80...wish I would have bought that one.
Kimberly-Clark - was at $65 then...now at $74...not exactly stellar given the broader market during that time
Pepsico - was at $62, now at $66...ouch.
Paychex - was at $31, now at ...ding ding ding.....$31.
Seems the "experts" didn't do so well on these four, compared to the S&P shown below.
S&P - was at 1,106, now at 1,400ish....about a 27% gain. I'll stick with indexing.
