Runner up? Cedar Fair

...However, the reason that I like Cedar Fair here is that as a seasonal park, it's in hibernation right now. No matter how bad the economy gets in the coming months, most of its parks are closed until April and May. This gives the economy a shot to at least show some signs of life around the time that income tax refunds start coming in....

And the winner is: Activision Blizzard

The best bang for your buck in 2009 here is Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI). The company behind the Guitar Hero, World of Warcraft, and Call of Duty franchises is now the industry's top dog. There has been plenty of negative news in the sector, but Activision Blizzard has consistently held up its side of the bargain with shareholders. It has blown past Wall Street expectations all year long, even as lesser players have skidded.

Just as the Wii has made staying in a family-friendly experience, Activision Blizzard has made it cool. How many retailer ads have you seen over the holidays with families playing Guitar Hero World Tour? The stock rocks, in every conceivable way.
