A.I.M. Value Line Stocks

[DonCarlson]

Hi Tom,...additional views of the Pic List

I ran the Pic List through Mark's Value Stock Selector (VSS), only two of the stocks got any kind of ranking:

 
 Ticker	Rating	  Price    Target  Return 
 GPS	  7.00	  16.650   18.321  10% 
 CLE	  7.00	  27.940   30.539  9% 
 

I also ran the list through a program that identifies the average number of 10% ZZs for the last few years (look at the PER YEAR column):

Since I generally only look at stocks that pass Mark's
fundamental analysis tests, I would only consider starting an
account with GPS and CLE (both have sufficent 10% ZZs).
From my view of the list at this time, and since Buffet recently dumped all his holdings in GPS, that only leaves CLE as a possible candidate.
