100 SHG Shinhan Financial 94.10 11.42

I have decided to include the P/E of each stock as well because I thought it was a good way to see if a stock is overly priced or not (although we have learned earlier that the P/E, for many investors, is no longer important).

Two stocks that immediately caught my attention are SNP (for mysterious reasons, SNP has a P/E of 7 on Google Finance, but a P/E of over 700 on Yahoo) and CRM. Don’t you think they are a bit too dangerous? I would also say that bot AMZN and NFLX are very risky, both stocks, in my opinion, shouldn’t even be on this list.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, I agree CMG (Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc) should have been included in the list. Its current price of $326 should place it at number 11. Other than that, the above list is pretty accurate at the time of publishing. In any case, if anyone thinks of any other stock (only NSYE or NASDAQ listed stocks) should be included in this list then please comment here.
