Money Magazine identified the 30 best-performing stocks over the 30 years from 1972 until 2002. The list is startlingly unpredictable. Rather than lots of technology or health-care stocks, it includes:

Southwest Airlines,
Worthington Steel,
Dollar General
UST Inc.

Would you have been willing to bet big on any of those stocks back in 1972?
