The investing luminary Peter Lynch once said, "All you need for a lifetime of successful investing is a few big winners, and the pluses from those will overwhelm the minuses from the stocks that don't work out."
That's precisely our strategy in our real-money "10-Bagger Portfolio." So far, we've invested our money in 11 outstanding businesses. They may not all go on to become 10-baggers, but we're pretty confident that they'll perform extremely well over the next five years and beyond. Here is a brief summary on why we like each of our 11 holdings:
1. Denbury Resources. Denbury Resources is the vulture of the oil field, turning scavenging for older wells into solid returns and growing cash flows. We believe that long-term energy trends will favor this truly unique energy play.
2. Zipcar. Sustained profitability is just around the next turn for the leading car-sharing company. But you wouldn't know that by looking at the stock price. We're still confident in this one's multibagger potential over the long term, however.
3. Infinera
4. MAKO Surgical
5. InvenSense
6. LinkedIn. The professional networking site is changing the way people manage their careers and adding two new members each second. As its huge member base -- currently, 161 million members and growing -- becomes more and more engaged, it seems likely that LinkedIn will become one of the big winners of the future.
7. Fusion-io
8. Google. Google is still the leader in search advertising, which generates billions of cash flow that the company is reinvesting in big projects like mobile search, social media, and payments. This large cap still has a lot of growth left in it, though it should also provide investors with some stability.
9. Apple. Apple continues to define what mobile computing looks like. That's great for the stock, but not so good for the competition. We see no reason why this won't be the first trillion-dollar company by market cap.
10. Facebook
11. Intel. Intel is still the leading chip maker in the world. And it's using that clout to go after mobile devices. We expect its dividend to grow very nicely over the next five years.
Going mobile
We have been carefully following the big trend toward greater mobile usage. By investing in Google and Apple, we decided to place bets on the leaders. And our investment in InvenSense, which supplies its motion-control technology to producers of smartphones and tablets, should also grow tremendously as the demand in this space intensifies.
