Performance Recap: US All-Time Highs from Dec/04/2009

From the chart below I see that most of the all-time highs from December have gone down over the past two months. There are more losers than gainers and the average stock underperformed all three stock indexes. Only four stocks are up more than 20% (SMLC up 42%; STRI up 28%; CFL up 23%; and NRGP up 22%). Another familiar name is NPK, which is up 19%. Numerous hard sell-offs, especially BCPC, CTRP, and MED. Marvel (MVL) was bought out by Disney and for simplicity is included here as a zero.
