Best stock(s) of 2013?

For those who invest what was your best stock of 2013? Favorite going forward in 2014?

Best for me was DD(Dupont) 40%+ for the year. I think my favorite going forward is ETP(Energy transfer partners) and probably one of my favorites period.

I prefer to NOT discuss my worst of '13
I have lightened up a bit because I think a correction might be in the works what with the Fed tapering and all.Then again I thought a correction was going to hit after the dow hit 15000, there was no way it could keep climbing. Who woulda thunk it? The power of the Fed. So I do have some gas if any bargains may present themselves.

Anyone else have any prognostications for this year?

Bought some Facebook after the IPO and the price was $26. Now around $58. That is a 10 bagger for me. Will probably sell half my shares this year sometime. Hard too sell it when they have good news and now institutions are purchasing the shares.

Amazon and JPMorgan also this past 6 months on each. Amazon up 25% and JPM more like 15%. Loser- yikes FORD bought some years ago at $8.50 but like a dip shit I added to my shares this past year of which I am down 20%

Couple of GLD options that expired betting it to go up 6 months ago. If I had been paying attention, I was 50% on it for about a week, then to the shitter it went!

To add for this year I really like LVS, Wynn and google. Will add to my amazon shares as well.
I'm just getting into the market with earnest. I'll have to look at ETP.
Made a ton of money in ETP which I primarily bought for the 7% dividend....but then the stock price ended up jumping 25% too. It was one of my largest positions. Very happy how that turned out.


I checked my stocks and the biggest mover was my company's stock up 82% which, due to our insider trading policy, I can't discuss.

Next was Smith and Wesson up 38% in the past 6 months. Thanks Obama!

OMG can't sleep so LVA it is. Way to funny thanks. Love this board I don't post much but I sure enjoy reading the posts.
Las Vegas Sands
MGM
Dunkin Donuts
Citibank

One that may be of interest to this group is BJK an ETF focusing on gaming (really gambling) stocks: about a 52% return over the last 52 weeks. I've owned it since 2008.

A good way to diversify rather then put all your eggs in one or two gambling stocks.

Bitcoin, 4000% increase in 2013! Top that. But I wouldn't touch it with a 20 foot pole.
