83 Stocks that Doubled Your Money In the First Half of 2009
Submitted By Trader Mark
It's been a wild and volatile first half of 2009. We followed one of the worst periods in history (Jan-Feb) with one of the best (Mar-Apr)... and topped it off with a stagnant market (May-Jun) to finish off the quarter. For all this the S&P is up a staggering 1.5% for the year to date.
But if you bought some of the stocks below on Dec 31st, 2008 - went off on the long planned tripped to Tahiti (hence, not panicking in the dark days of February through early March) and just showed up today - congrats! I've pulled a group of stocks with the following criteria:
Criteria
- Market capitalization $500M+
- Average trading volume 200K+
- Stock price $10+
- Return year to date 100%+
With the market capitalization requirement I mostly pulled in the larger "small caps", mid cap, and large cap stocks; this generated 83 ways for you to of doubled your money. At the very bottom of the post I pulled another 23 names of the smaller cap variety - that group are names smaller than $500M in market cap but larger than $200M. Below that $200M level it really starts to get speculative.
These names are not sorted by return but by market capitalization, from largest to smallest - as always it is easier to make big bucks (or lose them) in the smaller names. Of course some of these stocks will continue to do great things in the 2nd half of 2009, others will "revert to the mean" and be major under performers. If you can tell which goes in which of those 2 categories, you will have a very enjoyable second half of the year. I asked my trusty Magic 8 Ball, and unfortunately this is what she said.
 Blog readers will find many familiar names.... I've highlighted names we own, have once owned, or have talked about in the blog in light blue.
