How Bad Boys Behave Badly
These were not the worst of the worst. These were "Bad-As" stocks with high yields. The list of fifty bad boy stocks below was created by screening for industries populated by public companies that have allegedly committed acts, made substances, byproducts, or devices that maim, kill, tempt, harm, addict, insult, and/or scam the public.
