NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Elvis may have left the building, but you can find a way to make him stay in your stock portfolio.

CNN/Money has come up with 13 stocks that can be considered plays on Elvis Presley, the "King of Rock and Roll," who died 25 years ago Friday. Click here for the chart.

Some explanation is in order:

American Greetings (AM: up $0.08 to $17.36, Research, Estimates) produces greeting cards and holiday ornaments with Elvis' image. One of Walt Disney (DIS: up $0.60 to $15.75, Research, Estimates)'s biggest film hits this year is "Lilo & Stitch," in which the heroine is a big fan. Nike (NKE: down $1.05 to $44.25, Research, Estimates) has run a commercial using Presley's "A Little Less Conversation."

Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM: up $0.34 to $10.14, Research, Estimates) produced the Elvis movies. He performed many years at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, which is now part of the Hilton Hotels (HLT: down $0.04 to $12.12, Research, Estimates) chain.

He could have bought a guitar at Guitar Center (GTRC: down $0.28 to $16.72, Research, Estimates). He drove Cadillacs, made by General Motors (GM: down $0.39 to $45.32, Research, Estimates).
