Contrarian Stocks

WSJ had an article a couple weeks back about how often the stocks that Wall Street likes at the start of the year aren't the ones that turn out at the end of the year to have performed well during the year.  The list:

The ones they like:

• Thermo Fisher Scientific
• Apple
• Agilent Technologies
• Compuware
• Halliburton
• Express Sprints
• EQT
• Celgene
• Google
• R.R. Donnelly & Sons

The ones they didn't like:

• AIG
• Apartment Investment & Management
• Brown-Forman
• Diamond Offshore Drilling
• Ameren
• Eli Lilly
• Nicor
• Berkshire Hathaway
• Cincinnati Financial
• Sears Holdings

Might be worth a look—if it's not too late.
