Yes folks… I have done my research, and decided to write / compile a list of the top 10 companies over the past 10 years, so we can all maybe have a clearer idea on where to invest our precious money. So without further adieu, here are the best of the best, the cream of the crop, El Grande Toro.
A $100 investment in each of these stocks in their infancy would have turned your $1,000 investment into a whopping $650,000!
1. Franklin Resources (BEN)
As the old saying goes, the way to make money during a gold rush is to be the one selling shovels. The best stock of the past 25 years — the USA’s No. 4 mutual fund manager — is a prime example, managing money and dispensing investment advice during a 20-year bull market.
2. Danaher (DHR)
Most people might never have heard of this maker of industrial measuring tools, but companies of all types depend on its gear, which measures just about anything, ranging from electricity to blood and air quality.
3. Eaton Vance (EV)
This smaller rival to Franklin Resources also cashed in on the insatiable demand for money management as it offered everything from mutual funds to services for institutional investors.
4. UnitedHealth (UNH)
Skyrocketing medical costs often are the worst part of going to the doctor. This insurer has prospered as employers and consumers looking for protection from wallet-busting costs snapped up its plans.
5. Cisco Systems (CSCO)
This router maker made a fortune selling fatter straws to Internet surfers sucking ever-bigger amounts of bytes by downloading music and updating their Web pages.
6. International Gaming Technology (IGT)
33,436 Percent
Investors who bet the house on this slot machine ace hit the jackpot.
7. Biomet (BMET)
30,531 Percent
Biomet’s reconstructive medical devices have made breaking a knee, leg or shoulder a bit less scary.
8. Microsoft (MSFT)
29,266 Percent
More than 90 percent of computers run some sort of software from the house Bill Gates built. Believe it or Not… as remarkable as this sounds, it’s true!
9. Best Buy (BBY)
28,703 Percent
This retailer turned itself into a Disneyland for gadget freaks with its shelves brimming with the latest electronic gizmos.
10. Oracle (ORCL)

There we have it, the top 10 of 10. These are the moguls of the business world today we should all model our businesses after. Innovation, patience and dedication with a little bit of luck helped these industry leading gurus obtain and assert their status today. When you invest, think about this — ” Does the company have the same profit potential as the top 10 of 10?”
