As noted earlier, Friday marks the two-year anniversary of the S&P 500's closing peak. As of Thursday's close (10/8), only 57 of the 500 stocks currently in the index are up since then. Needless to say, it has been a lousy two years. Below we highlight the 25 best performing stocks in the index over the last two years. As shown, sectors which are the most heavily represented include Technology (7), Energy (6), Consumer Discretionary (5), and Health Care (5). Check back Friday morning for a list of the top performing Mid and Small Cap stocks since 10/9/07.
I agree that I have felt the repercussions of the failing stock market. Information found online like this definitely is helpful at a challenging time like this. I think that discovering valuable new investment portals with successful markets will really help me out! Glad I am pointed in a new direction and hopefully I can come out profitable in the end.
