I would add AAPL (Apple) to the list.
I have been following this stock for about 2 years and its constantly going up.
The higher it goes up, the bigger the crash. Buy stocks when their undervalued not overvalued. There is way more to picking a stock than watching it go up for 2 years. basically every single stock in the market went up huge over the last 2 years.
Is it based technicals?
How about fundamentals.
How about the management. when you invest in a company, in essence yor investing in the management. it could have a lot of cash sitting around, it can have a great product (although many times it's a fad for example crox went from 75 to .86) but many times mangement is simply inept at running the company.
Who cares if walmart has 8,500 stores, are there better places to park your money? YES. Bear in mind when you invest in such a large cap stock your returns will not be that much, (although they might be relatively safer than a small cap) unless you put in a lot of money. Because when dealing with small amounts of money as opposed to a hedge fund who are putting in way more than an average joe can afford, 5% is not a whole lot of money, when you can easily be earning alot more. do you expect walmart to double? triple? WMT is valued at 200B do you really think it'll reach a trillion or even 500B?
AHT went from .86 to 14 now its at 9
CAR went from .48 to about 20
LVS went from 5 to 45
SNDK went from 7 to 50
CROX went from .98 to 28 now its at 20
ETC; ETC:
SO WHAT?
