Eric, I don't think it is any more useful than if you had posted their return on April 20. Posting return after a big move one way or the other is skewed by whatever recent extreme in sentiment.

I believe it is a useful exercise to step back every once and awhile and evaluate the past performance of a stock.

True but the problem is a yearly ranking can be an erroneous time cutoff as it happens to be in this case. If you included Nov and Dec of 1998 in your rankings you get a completely different picture.
