Best Performing Stocks of the Decade

I agree! Heck I wouldnt even be able to stop myself from selling after 1/3rd of the gains above. Its just eye candy and fun to look at.

Best Performing Stocks of the Decade

I definitely prefer small to mid caps for that reason... not the tiny stuff say sub $300M but $500M to $5B is a good range

even an excellent company like Apple today is half the size of Exxon

if it doubles in value, and exxon held steady it would be the largest market cap in the world.

Maybe Apple should be the most valued company on Earth? But its going to be much harder for it to double than a company with a $800M market cap .

To find names like this on the list however you are going to be usually buying really small companies.

I'd be happy with 400% in a decade ;) 4000% is more like a casino bet. Lots of luck!
