SNFCA: They also have about 5% stock dividend annually

KIK, SNFCA(up 15% YTD)

and I can give you HZNP, which is also up for the year around 5%. However these stocks are the anomaly, not the rule. The rule is that the other 10,000-20,000 stocks, which on average are down a 10%-15%. Point is, you're way better off shorting just about anything, than longing even the best performers. I am doing pretty well this year, and so is my managed portfolio(up 17% ytd as of today), and I've been almost 100% short at all times. I believe it'll remain this way for some time.
