If I had to bet on the NASDAQ best performing stocks for 2010, I would go with:
Google (GOOG)
The company is showing strong growth and have a lot (too much!) liquidity in their book. However, they have also lunched their first phone and are battling with China (their concurrent, Baidu is currently benefiting from this issue on the stock market to soar to higher level). Even thought there are some uncertainties, I am sure that Google will find their way to the top of the NASDAQ for 2010.
Research in Motion (RIMM)
The Blackberry maker has gone through its share of problem in 2009. From deceiving new phones to reducing earnings and sales number, their stock went through a hard time even if RIMM grew by 59% in 2009. 2010 will be their chance to prove the world they can offer more than their best seller intelligent phone; the Blackberry.
EBAY (EBAY)
What can I say beside I just love this company! I think that with the current recession in the USA, Ebay will benefit from the new frugal side of American Customers who will look for deals and used stuff. Since selling online is a great way to increase a household income rapidly, more Americans will be more likely to use this internet service.
