As we’ve noted recently, Eddy Elfenbein at http://www.crossingwallstreet.com has managed to outperform the S&P 500 for the last six years. 

(1) He thinks like us and rummages around in our favorite baskets of stocks.

(2) How many stock funds have a 6-year winning streak?  ZERO.

We’ll have a little fun as we put up our Christmas Countdown selections (with a few honorable mentions) along with the twenty best-positioned stocks in our MANIFEST 40 most widely-followed stocks and try to run/walk with Eddy in 2013.
