The Post's stock picker, Hilary Kramer, is leaving the competition in the dust.
Kramer's 14 stock picks this year are up an impressive 7 percent while the Dow Jones industrial average is down 14.9 percent and the S&P 500 is off 14.0 percent. Even Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is 15.3 percent on the downside in 2008.
That's right, if you invested $1,000 in each of her 14 stock picks this year, you'd be sitting pretty with a portfolio balance of $14,973.43.
Eleven of Kramer's 14 picks are in positive territory, led by a 63 percent gain in LeapFrog Enterprises, which Kramer picked back on Jan. 13 when it was trading at $4.97. It closed Thursday at $7.85.
