It is a moot point looking at weekly winners this week; just a handful of stocks moving up led by such growers as Campbell Soup (CPB) aka "people will still need to eat soup if nothing else" trade. So instead I am going to look at the best and worst performers the past 3 months. In this post we have every stock over $1.25B in market cap returning 15%+ (115 stocks) Now keep in mind the data is a bit misleading because 3 months ago at this time we were in the throes of another painful correction, in a series of step ladders down. About 90 days ago Fannie and Freddie and Lehman were falling off a cliff, and we were just over a week away from Hank Paulson going to Congress to create a plan to backup Fannie/Freddie. So this was a "bottom" and the financials rallied hard for the next 6-7 weeks - Fannie/Freddie of course were officially taken over within 2 months from that point.

Criteria

1. Market capitalization $1.25B+
   
2. Average trading volume 100K+
3. Stock price $10+
4. Return this quarter 15%+

Green names we own, blue names we have owned in the past or discussed in the blog. Obviously a bevy of financial stocks (no short rule pushed some of these up 30-50% in a few days) and airlines (the anti oil trade) were dominant the past 90 days.
