Be a Penny Stock Millionaire!
Our goal in Motley Fool Hidden Gems is to find the best small companies to own for the next three to 35 years. It's a wonderful aim, since historical data illustrates that small-cap stocks -- particularly of the value variety -- have substantially outperformed the overall market over the past 40 years. To optimize our returns, we look to sell our mistakes quickly, hold sound companies for an average of three years, and then, yes, maintain our stakes in the very best of the lot for a quarter of a century or more. The best time to sell shares of a truly superior small company is almost never. Selling Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) or NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) in the early days after doubling your money would have wound up costing you dearly, since both continued to crush the market as the years rolled by.
Zimbabwe: Traditional Medicine Holds Promise

Johnson: Payne wrestles with Masters' past and future
AUGUSTA - Billy Payne straddles a line separating two different worlds and belief systems in his capacity as Augusta National Golf Club's chairman. On one side, he's the progressive Southern gentleman who brought the world to Atlanta in the form of the 1996 Olympics and embraced the multiculturalism that came with it. On the other, he's the traditionalist who continues to view Augusta National through the prism that existed almost 40 years ago when, as a college sophomore, he drove through the gate in a pink 1947 Chevy he shared with his sister. Winds of change occasionally swirl and rustle more than the treetops in this state and on this golf course, but so far no gusts have been strong enough to push him too far in either direction. Payne, who became club chairman last May, announced a few changes Wednesday, but let's just stop right there for a moment.
Heaven CENT?
As I was cultivating a piece on lawn-care companies, I stumbled across a fundamentally misunderstood situation that warrants correction. If this were some tiny, obscure stock, I would let it slide, but Central Garden & Pet (Nasdaq: CENT) is rather large. In fact, it does more than a billion and a half dollars in annual sales. Clearly, some of you have heard of the company, judging by the 20+ outperform calls by CAPS All-Stars. Central has turned up in a lot of value screens, apparently prompting dozens of outperform calls in CAPS, not to mention a breathless buy recommendation out there in the blogosphere. As of this writing, the company is reportedly trading at a huge discount to book value following an apparent plummet in the share price in early February. However, the numbers presently reported by Yahoo! Finance and Motley Fool CAPS do not account for the issuance of a special 2-for-1 Class A stock dividend on Feb.
