Some investors are just too impatient to wait 10, 15 or 20 years to see returns. Here are 15 stocks that should pay off by July 2013.
Not everybody wants to get into the stock market for the next 10, 15 or 20 years. It may be riskier, but some investors are little more impatient; they’re looking for a quicker turnaround for their stock investments.
This week, Morgan Stanley published a list of 15 stocks that should see superior risk-adjusted returns by July 2013. The companies listed here have over $750 million in market capitalization.

“Based on their analysis, these stocks exhibited the best combination of favorable risk-reward profiles and clear catalysts,” wrote .
There are three health care companies on the list. And while some might be unsurprising, like Apple, it was a little more surprising to see JPMorgan here after the disastrous trade that cost the company more than $2 billion. However, Morgan is expecting that JPMorgan’s stock will re-start again over the next few weeks.
Here are 15 stocks for impatient investors (listed in alphabetical order).
