There are 376 financail or invested firms listed on U.S exchanges.
Eversince the financial crises began, most of the firms listed are going through singnificant losses.
Therefore, most of the investro's expectations could not be satisfied.

However, there were few firms which boosted their performances.
Amont the 376, 10 or 2.7% since the start of the crises.

I respect these 10 firms in many ways.
They must have done intensive Risk Management within their companies, simply eliminating the risks which other comapny was exposed to.

I think the beauty of risk management is if done properly, even when the world economy is suffering, it allows individuals or firms to enjoy the stability during the unexpected very bad year or very bad day.
