JUBAK'S TOP 50 PICKS FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS Investor Investor Portfolio Markets Stocks Funds Insight Finder Brokers Help Contents Quick Reference Step-by-Step Guides Jubak's Journal Sectors & Trends Mutual Funds Strategies Interviews Company Focus Special Reports SuperModels Careful Investor Strategy Lab TheStreet.com Article Index Featured Securities Discussion Print-friendly version Jubak's Future Fantastic 50 Portfolio The goal of this portfolio, as I wrote in my July 30 column ("Votes are in! See the Future Fantastic 50 stocks"), was to come up with a list of stocks that would pass this simple test: If you were to look at the list in July 2004, you'd say about each entry: "Boy, I wish I'd have bought that five years ago, and I'd sure be willing to hold it for another five years." When I decided to put together this more-aggressive version of the blue chips in my 50 Best Stocks in the World portfolio, I asked for help from readers in finding the 50 best blue chips of 2004. About 2,500 readers cast nearly 12,000 votes -- the rules allowed each voter to select up to 10 stocks. The final list is a combination of my own picks and those that scored well in the reader survey. I'll try to update this portfolio quarterly and will note a few of the 50 that are reasonable buys at the time of each update. (Ed. Note: Jim Jubak is an employee of Microsoft and owns stock in the company. He also may at any time own shares in a number of other companies included in this list.)
