First-Half Winners

The other day we looked at how the broad market indexes fared over the first half of 2012. Now let's take a look at the stocks that have been the biggest winners so far this year. These are the five stocks in the S&P 500 that have gained the most this year:

1. Sears, up 86 percent
2. TripAdvisor, up 80 percent
3. Expedia, up 67 percent
4. Pulte Group, up 66 percent
5. Regions Financial, up 56 percent

None of the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average reached those lofty heights, but several of them posted impressive gains. Here are the top five Dow stocks for the first half of 2012:

1. Bank of America, up 45 percent
2. Disney, up 29 percent
3. Home Depot, up 26 percent
4. American Express, up 23 percent
5. AT&T, up 17 percent
