Since 1993, I have offered an annual list of 10 stocks with the potential to beat the market in the 12 months ahead. My 2024 selections notched the highest return ever: an average of 48.9%. I beat the S&P 500 index by 10.8 percentage points, and every one of my stocks was up — six by more than 30%.
The past decade has been exceptional. Just remember that reversion to the mean is a powerful force, so don’t count on either the huge returns or my winning margin to continue. Still, there’s nothing wrong with a little celebration.
