In a crazy-good year for stocks, Robert Zedler, a 91-year-old retiree in Suffolk, Va., won Dorfman’s Three Stock Derby with a 334% return.
Despite his age, Zedler’s picks in my stock-selection contest were newish companies. His biggest gainer was Plug Power Inc. (PLUG), a maker of hydrogen fuel cells. That stock soared 543%. Next was Moderna Inc. (MRNA), the inventor of a leading covid vaccine, up 244%.
He also notched a 213% gain in Livent Corp. (LTHM), a producer of lithium used in electric-car batteries.
