Stock Gravity – Free Market Forces! - Stock Market Trading & Investing – Free Market Forces

Three growth stocks are on top of a list of short sellers most hated stocks of 2010. With gains amounting to over 300% year-to-date, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) , OpenTable (NASDAQ: OPEN) and Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) have been a nightmare for short sellers this year.

Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA), Vivus Inc (NASDAQ: VVUS) and Orexigen Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: OREX) are developing drugs that battle obesity. With 1.6 billion people overweight worldwide, the first drug to gain FDA approval would go blockbuster with ease, rewarding shareholders handsomely.

International restaurant companies are rapidly expanding into untapped markets all over the world. For US based companies, McDonalds (NYSE:MCD) and Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM) foreign markets represent a fresh place to grow. Lower taxes, labors rates and regulations make expansion into heavily populated countries like China and India imperative.

NovaGold Resources, Inc. (AMEX:NG), Silvercorp Metals (NYSE:SVM) and Endeavor Silver Corp(AMEX:EXK) are three mining stocks climbing the wall of worry. Even with the massive run in precious metals prices, these three stocks could double yet again before the next presidential election.

NovaGold owns 50% interest in two of the worlds largest underdeveloped copper-gold properties. With proven reserves of over 17 million ounces of gold and another 12.5 million ounces of measured and inferred reserves, NovaGold is extremely levered to the price of gold.

After a strong first quarter earnings report in 2009 McDonald’s future looks promising. A weakening US Dollar coupled with overseas growth will make the company a winner going forward. A consistent dividend of 3.30% also rewards shareholders in it for the long haul.
