Stocks for Dad is an idea feature and not a stock recommendation feature. Every dad and every Fool for that matter should research any stock they're interested in and make their own decisions. Though the Motley Fool does advocate a long-term buy-and-hold strategy, we do look at the results of the group after the first year. These are the results of last year's stocks:
