“which stocks went up and earned more than CDs, without taking on any more risk?”
My answer: none, never. If you want a stock that has less risk than a CD and returns more, I have news for you: it doesn’t exist.
And an answer to some other comments on this thread: missing an opportunity to make a profit is exactly the same as taking a loss. Most people fail to see that. They will be happier with 3 trades that return $100 each, instead of a trade that makes $500, and two that lose $100 each.
