Looking for a shopping list of new stock ideas for 2010? Each year for 27 years, TheStockAdvisors.com has turned to the nation's most respected and well-known newsletter advisors and asked them for their single favorite stock or fund ideas for the coming 12 months.

With 80 advisors participating in this year's survey, there's something for every type of investor, from high-quality blue chips to speculative home runs.

While past performance is never a guarantee of future results, we would note that the stocks chosen by the 75 advisors participating in last year's report outperformed the general market by over 80%.

The 75 stocks and funds selected for last year's report showed an average year-to-date gain of 35.7%, versus a 19% gain by the broad market over the same period (as of 12/24/09).

Gainer's Today tracks stock picks and ranks the accuracy of 120 investment research firms -- and for last year, our 2009 Top Picks report was ranked #1. Kudos to all the participating advisors.

Importantly, we caution you to only use these ideas as a starting place for your own research and only buy stocks that meet your personal investing criteria, risk parameters and time horizon.

Reading these comments it is obvious that a lot of posters are "Pimping" there stocks or sector of interest. Do your own thinking, Where is the country going, where is the money going, what companies will make more money then are are now making (that makes stocks rises). Be sure that the stock price does not already have an increase in the price. Remember March of 2009 when everything was down in the dumps. A lot of investors made big money since it should have been obvious that some companies would have to succeed and drive up their stock value.
