2013 – what an incredible year!
This blog follows and explains 2 stocks:
No. 1: Colfax Corp. (NYSE: CFX) the fluid handling company. We started to follow Colfax in May 2009 when the stock traded at $ 7.27 . Today we are at an all-time high of $ 63.06, up more than 56% this year, beating the S&P 500 which is up “only” 31% so far and very near to a 9-bagger over the whole 4 1/2 year time horizon!
No. 2: Markel Corporation (NYSE: MKL) the insurance and superinvestor company which traded yesterday at $ 576.02, up 33% this year and also beating the S&P 500 index so far!
Background of this astonishing development certainly is the general improvement of the US-american economy. But do not forget solid leadership and the hard work within these 2 companies which will continue in 2014 and help our investments!
So let’s be grateful for 2013 and look forward to 2014!
We wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our readers!
Enjoy the holidays with your families!
