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).
