Comparison with MagicDiligence

Final post on this for a while as I am heading off on a business trip today. SteveA has suggested that I get rid of my handicap and simply drop stocks before 1/26/08. I will do that. I just want people to understand that I am using a strictly mechanical approach and have not "stacked the cards" to find a method doing well... and this method is doing quite well.

Just for fun (put will not post regularly) I also made a list that showed stocks when the first appeared on the top 100 list. The top 25 list is outperforming the S&P by 9.4 points. The top 100 list is outperforming by 7.0 points.

New to Top 25 After 1/25/08
