Hi Everyone,
The best performing stocks vary from year-to-year and it’s nearly impossible for investors or advisors to always pick well. Right now we have some additional insight from Bloomberg about some of 2013’s potential best.

Snapshot
You can find the complete list in the February 18 – 24, 2013 of Bloomberg Businessweek. A review of it shows health care, media and retail firms all in a “standout” position.
With rare exception, I liked what I saw.
Until next week,
