Indexing

--ValuEngine: Verizon Still Number One DOW Stock

ValuEngine tracks more than 7000 US equities, ADRs, and foreign stock which trade on US exchanges as well as @1000 Canadian equities.  When EPS estimates are available for a given equity, our model calculates a level of mispricing or valuation percentage for that equity based on earnings estimates and what the stock should be worth if the market were totally rational and efficient--an academic exercise to be sure, but one which allows for useful comparisons between equities, sectors, and industries. Using our Valuation Model, we can currently assign a VE valuation calculation to more than 2800 stocks in our US Universe.

We also use trading data to provide forecast estimates for a variety of time horizons for almost ever equity in our database. Our Buy/Sell/Hold recommendations are based upon the 1-year forecast return figure. Using valuation and forecast figures, you can rank and rate our covered stocks against each other, to find out, in an objective and systematic way, the most attractive investment targets based on your own risk/reward parameters. We re-calculate the entire database every trading day, so you are assured that every proprietary valuation and forecast datapoint is as up-to-date as possible.

We can use our data to track individual stocks, industries, sectors, and indices. For today's bulletin, we present key metrics for the top picks in the Dow Jones Industrials. The companies listed below represent the top stocks within the index. They are presented below according to their one-month forecast gain.

We once again see very little turnover here. In fact, we have just one new stock on our list since we presented the top Dow picks back in August. Merck just ekes into the top-ten list, replacing Home Depot. Verizon continues its run at the top this time around. The other mover and shaker is Cisco, which has vaulted all the way up from ninth spot to second. Also moving up is United Technologies. Declines were also made by Intel, Traveler's Insurance, Johnson and Johnson, United Health, IBM, and DuPont. Also, be advised that none of these stocks are currently rated higher than BUY--there are no STRONG BUY picks in this edition of our DOW top-ten, and DD and MRK are rated HOLD.
