It’s quite evident that the list of the best companies with regards to percentage gains in stock prices over the last 52 weeks goes to companies that are for profit schools, businesses that support the federal government and security, along with a myriad of health-care and pharmaceutical companies, namely generic drug makers and companies focused on preventative medical care. You should keep in mind that these stocks may have already hit their peak, and the only way to profit from these companies in the future is to short their stocks.
