Description
Summary:The MoneySense Top 500 guide to US stocks highlights the best stocks America has to offer and contains a plethora of facts and figures on each one. Each US stock is sized up for its appeal as a value investment and as a growth investment. Those that score well on both make it into the Top 500 All-Star team. The US All-Stars have performed very well since the stock market collapse in 2008. If you had purchased equal dollar amounts of them six years ago and rolled your portfolio into the new list of All-Stars each year, you'd have gained 22.9% per year on average. The author congratulates PulteGroup and Valero Energy for taking home the double-A prize this year. As it happens, Valero was also highly ranked last year. PulteGroup is still recovering from the 2008 downturn, which hit the US real estate and financial markets hard. Despite the slow recovery, PulteGroup returned to profitability in 2012, started paying dividends again in 2013.
