Well, you can’t do that, but if you could, here’s a guide.
Eddy Elfenbein over at Crossing Wall Street compiled the following list of top performing stocks since January 1st, 2000.
The criteria for the list was dead simple:
“Any stock traded on a US exchange that had a price of at least 50 cents on 12/31/99.“
To have bet on these stocks ten years ago would have made you incredibly rich. So rich, in fact, that if you invested $10,000 in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters ten years ago, you’d have earned $789,540 – a 7,895.4% return on your investment.
