1. Hansen Natural (HANS): monster energy drink
2. Cognizant Tech (CTSH): Indian outsourcer
3. Travelzoo (TZOO): online travel
4. Remington Oil (REM): oil and gas exploration, Gulf of Mexico
5. USANA Health Sciences (USNA): vitamin MLM company
6. Forward Industries (FORD): carrying cases for Motorolo Razr cell phone
7. Laserscope (LSCP): non invasive cosmetic procedures
8. Ceradyne (CRDN): body armor
9. American Healthways (AMHC): specialty medical services
10. Middleby (MIDD): commercial kitchen equipment, McDonald’s, KFC and Papa John’s
I would have to also add True Religion (TRLG), Infosys (INFY), Quality Systems (QSII), Google (GOOG) and Franklin Resources (BEN)
