This has been the worst stock market start for US equities in... history. So instead of doing the weekly look at what is winning let's see what has been able to eek out a gain this year. Amazingly out of the entire universe of stocks with market cap of $2 billion or more, only 100 have a return >1%. 100 lonely souls. (and a couple at the top of the list seem like old acquisitions so they could be errors) About 10% of the list is the same theme.... you can see what I've highlighted....

Market cap >$2 Billion
Average trading volume >100K
Stock Price >$10
