Cramer started his list of winners over the last 20 years with Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) as he said:

“Last, but certainly not least, is Netflix, the best-performing major stock since the show first went on the air. This had a staggering 82,000% gain. You’d be rich by any stretch of the imagination, no matter almost how little you put in when we started the show. Netflix invented the entire streaming video category. It was back in 2005. They were still doing DVD rental by mail and this was another one that I think was incredibly obvious. Netflix has essentially won versus traditional media at this point, but they’re not standing pat, not at all. Still improving the service as much as possible, which is why I bet this one can continue to climb over the long haul [buy, buy, buy].”

Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is a streaming platform that provides a wide range of movies, television series, and original programming to millions of users around the world.
