FYI: 2014 is quickly coming to an end, so below is a look at the 50 best performing Russell 3,000 stocks year-to-date. As shown, the top seven stocks in the index are from the Health Care sector. RadNet (RDNT) ranks first with a YTD gain of 388.62%. Receptos (RCPT) ranks second at +345.74%, followed by Avanir Pharma (AVNR) in third at +331.55%. The top performing non-Health Care stock this year has been VASCO Data Security (VDSI) with a gain of 256.09%. Other non-Health Care stocks in the top 20 include TriQuint Semi (TQNT), RF Micro (RFMD), Pacific Ethanol (PEIX) and Century Aluminum (CENX).
If you're a believer in the theory that money managers like to get winners on the books towards year end, these are the names they'll be looking at
