Best UK stocks of 2014 so far

7/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Continuing with UK stocks, I checked the best performing ones in 2014 with a minimum market cap of 100 million GBP. The FTSE 100 index is up only 1% this year, but there are still many great stocks out there:

Best UK stocks look a bit different than their US counterparts. Only 7 companies didn't turn a profit and only 10 were bought by insiders prior to their advance. I have picked 2 stocks on this list, namely Hutchison China Med and Hikma Pharmaceuticals, which have done quite well.

But one thing holds true again: The best stocks are almost always small caps, that are growing fast or coming up with a new product/service. And of course, they all make new highs regularly. If you want to make money in the stock market, focus on uptrending small cap stocks, you can definitely catch some multibaggers there.

    To make money in stocks you must have the "the vision to see them, the courage to buy them and the patience to hold them". And patience is the rarest of the three.  Thomas Phelps
