Many investors are familiar with the well-known Value Line
Investment Survey® and the valuable information that it
provides. Value Line evaluates a significant universe of stocks from
the major stock exchanges for their relative price performance over a 6 to
12-month horizon. A complete description of the Value Line subscription
service and system can be found at the Value Line web site and at most
public libraries.
The five Timeliness Ranking groups utilized by Value Line
ranks stocks for their future growth potential. The 100 Group 1 stocks
represent the highest rating -- and greatest potential for growth. The
overall performance record of Value Line's Group 1 stocks since 1964 is
generally recognized as exceptional by knowledgeable investors.
The performance of all Value Line's Timeliness groups is
advised semi-annually. A graph comparing the performance since 7/1/99
between the TenBestStocks Model Portfolio and Value Line's Group 1 for
Timeliness is shown to the right. Changes to both have been made on a
totally consistent basis. Weekly stock adjustments have been made to
each portfolio as appropriate and arithmetic averaging has been employed.
