“Looking Backwards to see forwards- Stock Picks from 2005 and 2006, how good did they do?” / B. Morgan
Sources: Forbes, SmartMoney, Fortune, Morningstar & MSN Money.
I did some reviews of stock picks for 2005-6, now that it is getting close to the new year (2007), here is some of what I found in my research. -Brian Morgan

First Source: Forbes Magazine 2006
Investment= $80,000 Yield= $21,700 YTD%= 27.13%
Forbes Article called “Desert Island Stock Picks 2006”, by Marketocracy, author Matt Rand, January 10, 2006. Ten Stock Picks from Marketocracy users: RNWK, DEZ, NTO, NSS, COP, EGY, UNT, CLDN, USAK, AAPL. My Note: Using normal stock investing rules, like dumping a stock as it reaches 8% below your original purchase price, these are the YTD% winners from above: 46% RNWK DEZ – Merger with Yamana in March = ? 16% NTO NSS – paid $66 per share for merger in December - ? 25% COP 84% EGY -5% UNT 37% CLDN - 8% USAK (lost 39% YTD) 22% AAPL In my figures below I am tossing out DEZ and NSS as I don’t know the particulars about their mergers, and therefore have not investigated the yields or losses from these mergers. An investment of $10,000 for each of the stocks would have given you a gross yield of $101,700, or a profit of $21,700. An overall gross 27.13% gain for the year. Total invested = $80,000, gross profit/gain = $21,700.

My Notes: most financial advisors will tell you to expect a “prudent” 7.5% gain per year on investments in the stock market. Clearly there are potentials for greater gains in my opinion. I recommend reading the hardcopy and online website for Investors Business Daily, I am a new investor. Brian Morgan 12-15-2006
