We've got an oil shortage. A corn shortage. An honest-politician shortage.
Now you can add a shortage of small-cap growth stocks with potential strangleholds on fast-growing niches. Yep, this year I've had a hard struggle to find enough stocks like that to fill out my annual revision to my Future Fantastic 50. That's disappointing, because for the fourth year in row, that portfolio beat both the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500. Since last July, the Future 50 is up 31%, whereas the S&P and Nasdaq have gained 26% and 25%, respectively. This portfolio is volatile, and these stocks are best suited for aggressive investors. Even then, they should be owned as the edge surrounding a more conservative growth core. By casting my net even farther overseas this year, I've been able to keep to my goal of replacing 20% of the stocks in this portfolio in my annual revision. The 10 stocks I'm adding to the Future 50 portfolio this year are:- Alvarion (ALVR Quote - Cramer on ALVR - Stock Picks)
- Itron (ITRI Quote - Cramer on ITRI - Stock Picks)
- DaVita (DVA Quote - Cramer on DVA - Stock Picks)
- Devon Energy (DVN Quote - Cramer on DVN - Stock Picks)
- Embraer (ERJ Quote - Cramer on ERJ - Stock Picks)
- First Solar (FSLR Quote - Cramer on FSLR - Stock Picks)
