Facebook’s shares have gained over 50% the past year, making it the 4th largest company in America. Several years ago, the stock was a fraction of what’s its worth now, trading under $20 per share. So who are the new up and comers? Are there any, in this market of death, famine, and destruction?
There are a few choice names that have been gaining ground, edging their way towards the magical $100 billion market cap mark.
(stock, mkt cap, 1 yr return)
HON $77 bill, +3%
SBUX $89 bill, +39%
RAI $70 bill, +47%
COST $65 bill, +6%
LOW $65 bill, +6%
MDLZ $66 bill, +19%
ACN $65 bill, +23%
TWC $51 bill, +35%

$sbux. Not enough stores on my block
SBUX Reserve coffees are going to destroy all local coffee shops that proudly serve Stumptown and Counter Culture coffee. SBUX is also creating environments that are very similar to the local coffee shop. There is still room for improvement with their food. Their food is horrible. SBUX might be the best company on the face of the earth.
Agree. The SBUX clover machine coffee is the best coffee I’ve ever had.

On chart and current cap alone, I’d pick HON. But like SBUX’s long term prospects more.
I do not speak as to market cap, but rather underlying technology. If you look into it, there are rather few actual search engines today. The underdog is Yandex. But they have some compelling features, possibly superior to anything else. If we were not entering a prolonged bear market – whereby the entire list goes down – they would be my first tech choice for investment.
