Who's in the 100/100 Club?

Scanning Barcharts Top 100 stocks, then eliminating all the ultra short and inverse stocks, while keeping only those stocks that gained 100% year to date yields the following list:

EBS Emergent Biosolution +333% Biotechnology
CRD.B Crawford & Co. +161% Business Support Services
AFAM Almost Family +124% Health Care
FSYS Fuel Sys Solutions +113% Auto Parts (Alternative fuel systems)
TSYS Telecom Sys Inc. +108% Computer Services

Those who always search for the silver lining will appreciate the fact the some (not many) stocks hardly broke their stride during the last few months of price destruction. I'd rather share a tree branch with a Malayan Krait than go long on anything at the moment, but if I had little choice , I'd stick with these winners.
