January 4, 2008
Our electricity is back on after a transformer blew 
and left us W/O a computer for three hours.  Sweet 16 plus or minus 4 is OK 
for reduced risk and enables the investor to explore growth 
companies.

  Overall Market Expectations
The median projected 
  annual return (MIPAR) for all 2800+ stocks followed by MANIFEST (Solomon 
  database) is 16% (12/28/2007.) The multi-decade range for this indicator has 
  been 8-20%.

Taking a

  criteria used.
The highest-rated companies based on a ranking including

  than 95% of all CAPS All-Stars expect these stocks to outperform the S&P 
  500 going forward.
