market crushing returns and no cheap garbage stocks
the index could end year up 30% easily

Well those picks aren't bad as an asset class of your portfolio, but if investing, that shouldn't be your entire portfolio. The majority of those stocks are highly correlated which means that they all could just as easily swing 20% to the downside.
I would suggest maybe one or two more financials, and a pharmaeceutical or two.
Additionally, you say you have no "garbage" stocks, well you can add beaten down stocks for value investing that aren't "garbage". As an example, I would consider a stock like NDN.
I would also suggest a few non-cyclicals, like maybe FACE.
The stocks you listed like NDN FACE may be good companies but their stock doesnt go up.
I buy stocks that go up so I make money
It is easier to make money when you buy the stocks that go up
Stuff like AAPL, GOOG, BIDU, MA, RIMM and so on
Wow another huge day for the index
Making money in the stock market shoudn't be this easy but it is.
You sound eerily like Cramer with a statement like that.
You can't separate a "good" company from the "value" of its stock if investing. You are a buy and hold trader, which means you are an investor. If you're an investor, then you should be looking for companies that aren't virtually 100% completely correlated with each other. You should be looking for values, for companies that are sector specific depending on the current investment environment.
The stocks that you buy are a one trick pony and when the trick is up, the pony is going to be dead and they will all die in unison if the market takes any severe dives.
No offense to you, but I get the impression that you really don't understand how the value of a stock is determined. With statements like "making money shouldn't be this easy", I wonder if you actually have a plan for investing, or are you just shooting darts at the latest stock craze?
I personally may be an amateur trader at this point, but I definitely am not an amateur investor.

'value' is useless. The only value is the price on the ticker.
The stocks I recommend are medium-large cap stocks with great buying strength, growth, and fundamentals. This combination does crush the market.
Most people make mistake of buying stocks that don't fall under all three these criteria.

Time to Put Up or Shut Up little boy.
Why don't you post a screen shot of your alleged positions in all of these great companies. Then, and only then will you begin to gain some respect.
IMO, you don't own shit except for maybe a single share of GOOG that your Uncle Bernie gave you last month for your Bar Mitzva.
So post it or go back to your newspaper route kid.
