Looking at the long term performance, the stocks rated 5* by S&P
outperformed the S&P 500 significantly.

Is there a fund of S&P 5* rated stocks?

There was, Bear Stearns had it. I'm not sure but I think they sold their
funds.
Might be limited to Value Line now. Similar but not just S&P stocks.

I tracked the S&P 5 Star Stocks for awhile and I was not impressed. I
started a Yahoo portfolio earlier this year using their 5 star stocks and
it's up 0.38% ytd.


0.38% ytd is dismal for this year. Is there a way to find their 1,3,5yr

returns somewhere?

Thanks

None that I know of. Keep in mind that they constantly change. The portfolio
I built was made up not only of S&P 5 star stocks but they also had 5 stars
for value/timeliness. What crap this is. Do your own thing. you'll be better
off.

With the Rydex equal-weighted S&P 500 ETF (RSP), traders can now trade
a version of the popular market average that has performed quite well
in recent history. Going back to May, 2003, for example, the weighted
S&P (SPY) has been up about 39%. The unweighted RSP, however, has
risen by almost 66%. What that's telling us is that the smaller
components of the S&P 500 have outperformed their larger counterparts.

2006 was good for stock mutual-fund investors, but not for star
managers. Only eight large-cap mutual-funds were able to consistently
maintain top-quartile performances for five straight years. That
represented 3% of the large-cap universe reviewed by S&P.

Mid-caps, only two made the cut, or 2.5% of the total. And in small-
caps, no funds made the S&P's list of consistent outperformers. "Using
past performance to predict future winners is slightly better than
throwing darts," Srikant Dash, S&P's index strategist, said. "We found
your chances of picking a top-quartile fund either way was about the
same."

Taking a more long-term perspective didn't change the results much.
Random [fund picks] would've given investors a 25% chance of selecting
a winner.

Morningstar's Dan Culloton points to when reviewing funds: "There's
really no one magic bullet that will guide you to a long-term
outperformer," he said. "The best thing you can do is stack the odds
as much in your favor as possible. That means taking into account
costs, strategy of a particular manager and risk profiles."

Did you track every 5 star stock?
Naturally, S&P tracks its ratings, and (naturally) reports great
results.

They were on the list that was current Jan. 18 of this year.
14 of them were rated 5 stars (strong buy) and had a fair value ranking of
5, this is the most undervalued. 7 are up, 7 are down. Together they are up
0.28%. Vanguard S&P500 is up 10.23%.

14 stocks over a 6-month period isn't terribly significant. At the
moment, there are over 80 stocks S&P gives 5 stars.

Are all 80 currently rank 5 for fair value as well?
