Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Four minutes from now, you and I are going to make a bet -- and I can virtually guarantee you will lose.

But first I'm going to tell you something that may shock you, explain how it can lead you to the top 10 stocks of the next 365 days, and give you the names of two stocks our analysts are convinced will trounce the market over the coming year and beyond.

Up to the challenge?
Good. Let's start with a little warm-up exercise I do with anyone who asks me for a hot stock tip. Take the next minute or so to jot down a few stocks you think are among the top 10 stocks of the past365 days.

Lately, most folks have been listing Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Citigroup (NYSE: C), and every other big-name financial company that was left for dead last year. To be fair, they are on the right track. After all, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE) have soared as much as 70% and 400% from their respective 52-week lows.

So, what didmake the top 10? Let's have a look ...
