*Since Inception Date: June 24, 2002
Investment performance
figures from 2003 are based on actual results of a representative client.
Results prior to 2003 are those of our
model folio account since its inception. These figures do not
include our investment management fees.
Objective:
The
objective of this folio is to provide significant dividend income in
addition to long term growth. The volatility of this
folio will
be similar to that of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
Investment
Approach:
First, we develop our list
of candidate stocks that we consider for
selection. We follow a strict
screening process that takes into consideration market capitalization, valuation, debt,
volatility, and yield to narrow our stock candidate list to 100 stocks..
Second, we sort
those 100 stocks using a proprietary Stock Ranking System (scores 0-99, higher
being better) and consider only those with ranks above 60. In order
to ensure prudent diversification in the portfolio we limit the portfolio
to 5 (or less) banking stocks and 5 (or less) energy / utility
stocks. Daily, we monitor the
earnings rank of those stocks in our Stock Candidate List, in order to
determine if a change to our stock folio should be made.
Third, we look out for bad
news that is specific to a particular company that we own, that causes a
large price decline of 6% or more on high trading volume. In that situation, regardless of
the ranking, we would sell the stock and replace it with our highest rated
candidate stock that we don't already own in the folio.

Candidates |
|
To
qualify as a candidate for consideration in this folio, a company must have a market capitalization
above 4 billion and be one of the 100 highest dividend
paying companies with debt to equity ratio of less
than 1.5, volatility less than 1.5 times the S&P
500, and be attractively priced relative to its earnings
and growth rate. The stock candidate list is
updated weekly.

Stock Ranking System
|
| If
the stock rank of a
company in our folio drops below the 30th percentile, we will sell
the stock, and replace it with the highest ranked stock
in our current candidate list that we don't currently
own (subject to sector limits that we have established). |
