Fifteen stocks with companies ranging from solid waste collection to biopharmaceutical drug development comprise the Raymond James Equity Research Department's analysts best picks list for 2009.

The list, which Raymond James prepared for its clients, is chosen among stocks expected to produce superior results in 2009, but it includes only one company from any particular industry.

"The lists have outperformed the S&P 500 index - an unmanaged index of 500 widely held stocks - by an average of 27.1 percent annually over the past decade," David Henwood, Raymond James chief investment officer, said in a statement this week.

Of the 107 stocks recommended in recent years, 66 advanced and 41 declined during the recommended holding periods, the report said.
