Stock number three: J. C. Penney Company, Inc.

And the headline says: The 5 most interesting stock stories right now- CNBC

I know. You're probably getting tired of hearing about JCPenney. There are times I get tired of talking about it. But what can you say about a stock that is both the worst performer in the S&P 500 this year and the best performer in the S&P 500 in November?

Plus, this is the make-or-break month for the retailer. Everybody is watching new/old CEO Mike Ullman's turnaround plan closely. At least part of the stock's recent run is on holiday optimism. If Penney can post solid comps in December, watch out to the upside.
