Yesterday we looked at the big-picture results for the first quarter of 2012. Now let's take a look at individual stocks. Here are the ten biggest gainers in the S&P 500 for the first three months of the year:
1. Sears Holdings (up 117 percent)
2. Bank of America (up 76 percent)
3. Netflix (up 72 percent)
4. Whirlpool (up 60 percent)
5. Federated Investors (up 55 percent)
6. Priceline.com (up 54 percent)
7. Regions Financial (up 53 percent)
8. Apple (up 53 percent)
9. Salesforce.com (up 52 percent)
10. Pulte Group (up 50 percent)
You'll notice that several of those stocks, like Sears, Bank of America, and Netflix, have posted huge gains in large part because they were beaten up so badly in 2011. Ironically, those three stocks had nearly identical years last year: Sears was down 57 percent in 2011, B of A was down 58 percent, and Netflix was down 59 percent.
