The bargain growth collection below is premised on strategies used by Peter Lynch, the renowned ex-manager of Fidelity Magellan.

Lynch did not participate in our search process, but we based our screen on one of Lynch's favorite measures, the price/earnings-to-growth, or PEG, ratio: a company's P/E ratio divided by the rate at which its per-share earnings are projected to grow over the next three to five years.

We used it to hunt for what Lynch calls "stalwarts," blue chips whose shares could gain 30% to 50% over the next couple of years if they can be purchased at the right price.

Last year's bargain growth portfolio slightly outpaced the market, rising 23%.
