S&P 500 top ten winners in 2021:

• Devon Energy, up 179%. Likely to repeat.
  
• Marathon Oil, up 146%. [Top operator in the Bakken.]
  
• Moderna, up 143%; not likely to repeat.
  
• Fortinet, p 142%; not a bargain at current price.
  
•  Signature Bank, up 139%. Say what? Under the radar.
• Ford Motor, up 136%; will continue.
  
• Bath & Body Works, 132%; likely to continue.
• Nividia, up 125%; old Cramer favorite. Still one of Cramer's favorite; perhaps his favorite.
• FANG, Diamondback Energy, up 123%; $35-breakeven price; cutting back on drilling costs; like to repeat that 123% annual gain in 2022.
• Nucor, up 115%. Another favorite of Cramer's. Thinks current share price is way too low. Says no analyst agrees with him; that's why he likes Nucor even more.
