There’s the list. You’ll have to read the magazines in order to find out WHY they like these particular stocks (Fortune’s is here).
Oh, and in case you were wondering, here’s how the magazines’ portfolios performed in 2006:
Fortune – 25.7% (The Portfolio: Phelps Dodge – 81.8%; Archer Daniels Midland – 48.9%; Hewlett-Packard – 34.5%; Altria – 21.1%; Berkshire Hathaway – 19.1%; Kinder Morgan – 15.3%; Norfolk Southern – 14.4%; Washington Mutual – 10.9%; Eli Lilly – 5.4%; and Citigroup – 5.2%) Returns were calculated for 12/06/2005 – 12/01/2006.
Kiplinger’s – N/A I couldn’t find the return numbers for last year’s portfolio (if there was a portfolio).
Smart Money – 8.6% (The Portfolio: Bank of America – 25.0%; UBS – 37.7%; Amgen – (8.0%); Gilead Sciences – 33.3%; HCA – 0.8%; UnitedHealth Group – (18.9); General Electric – 5.65; Tyco International – 7.3%; ConocoPhillips – (0.7%); Devon Energy – 23.2%; Nokia – 17.4%; and Qualcomm (18.9%))

I was just reading the Fortune Hot-Picks. I always find them interesting to track throughout the year.
Thanks for sharing this with everyone.

Shocking the difference in return for each of the magazine portfolios. One question: what does it mean that that the return is not applicable for Kiplinger’s?

I was reading Forbes, at the doctor’s office, and they are leaning heavily on European Energy companies. They think there is going to be a large consolidation there.

Is this a pretty new thing? I always like to see how people do over the long run (at least a few years). Also interesting that all of them have picked companies with generally high stock prices.

Looks like AIG is the winner here with two votes from two magazines. I’ll have to look into them.
