Re: Names mentioned on this board

Out of the 100's of stocks ever mentioned here only ABT and MON have benefited to any degree.

Simply untrue. Several names mentioned here have performed well despite the bear market in commodities—e.g. CLB, which is +320% from its 2009 low including reinvested dividends.

Among food companies, MDLZ has been an excellent performer, rising 110% since its 10/1/12 separation from Kraft, including reinvested dividends (#msg-80059075, #msg-82670173).

A number of names mentioned here (and on the predecessor board) have been acquired at a substantial premium: BNI (#msg-43212244); HNZ (#msg-84610907), and AGN (#msg-62753553, #msg-118690073).

I could go on.
