Even by the standards of a lousy Wednesday for stocks in general, Fair Isaac (NYSE: FICO) was a standout in the wrong kind of way. For the second trading session in a row, the credit scoring specialist took a real blow to its stock price, which tumbled by almost 16% on the day. That percentage figure was 10 times the 1.6% decline of the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC).
Fair Isaac not fair?
Investors who thought Fair Isaac stock would bounce back from its 8% drubbing on Tuesday were badly mistaken. Th...

Investors buy marijuana stocks for the potential high they can provide, but on Hump Day, Curaleaf (OTC: CURLF) produced the wrong kind of buzz. The veteran pot company saw its share price sag by almost 5% on the day, on the back of a discouraging media report about weed legalization. That was a far more pronounced slide than the S&P 500s (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) decrease of 1.6%.

The stock market has done very well over the years. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has gained 235% over the last decade (12.9% annualized) and 640% over the past 20 years (10.5% annualized). Because of that, simply parking your money in an S&P 500 index fund would have been a very winning strategy.
However, many stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 over the years. One company with market-crushing returns is Digital Realty Trust (NYSE: DLR). It has delivered a nearly 275% total return over the pa...
