Now is a good time to review the companies that did well or poorly over the past year and see which are shaping up for a good year ahead.
It’s important to identify what were the companies’ growth catalysts and consider if they will continue, or were they one-off situations?
Also, what new developments have appeared that could improve business and rally the share price even more? That’s how you develop a “story” about the stock and see whether it is getting better or worse

Alumina Limited (ASX: AWC): This company has a 40% stake in Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals (AWAC), a subsidiary of the U.S. aluminium company Alcoa (NYSE: AA). Since December 2013, the stock has risen from about $1 to $1.70. The aluminium spot market has improved since February. Alcoa has almost doubled in share price in the last 12 months.
