 | Jubak's 50 best stocks in the world I think these 50 stocks have a good chance to outperform the market with less than market risk. That’s a tall order, but each company here is set to take advantage of our increasingly global economy and has a sustainable competitive edge in its industry that should keep earnings growing over the next five years at rates higher than analysts now predict. In contrast with Jubak's Picks, which are stocks I plan to follow for a 12-18 month period, this portfolio is designed for long-term buy-and-hold investors who can keep these stocks for at least five years. My Buy ratings are based on my estimate of an attractive entry price for building or adding to a position. The rest of the stocks on this list are holds -- great stocks that I'd buy on any significant dip. I don't list sells -- when a stock becomes a sell I drop it from the portfolio. I update my Buy recommendations on or about the first of each quarter. (The most recent update was Sept. 25, 2007.) In the year ending Sept. 20, 2007, the 50 Best portfolio was up 20.66% versus a 14.83% gain for the S&P 500 and 18.37% for the Nasdaq Composite. In the nine years ending Sept. 20, 2007, the 50 Best portfolio was up 70.96%, versus the S&P 500's 49.12% gain and the Nasdaq's 59.74% gain during the same period. Editor's notes: (1.)
