By

Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report Editor Paul Goodwin discusses the top 10 of his 24 Top Stocks of 2011 in today’s issue of Cabot Wealth Advisory. It’s worth a look, if for no other reason than Paul gives solid reasoning behind each choice. With the holiday season safely behind us and the New Year well underway, I’m always curious about the best-performing stocks of the past year. I want to know which stocks did the best, get a sense of why they prospered and see if there are any investing lessons that might help me bag one of...

January 2, 2012
By

It’s a brand new year, and on this the day before trading opens, Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter Editor J. Royden Ward takes the time to choose five stocks he expects will perform well in 2012. Much like a roller coasters, the stock market produced plenty of action in 2011.

I’m tired of the word “choppy.”  I’m tired of reading about choppy markets, stocks that chopped up and down, and sectors that are chopping around. Don’t writers know any other words?
