CONCLUSION
The most obvious conclusion from the above statistics
is that generally stocks have been up this year, as evidenced by the S&P’s
12% increase since year-end. I can also say that the stocks on the Blue
List, chosen according to my GARP criteria, are up on average twice as much
as the Index. Even stocks rejected because they didn’t meet GARP criteria*
are up more than the Index.
* Comcast was removed for of lack of available data,
because of their purchase of AT&T cable.
