For today’s bulletin, we present key metrics for the top picks in the Dow Jones Industrials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

VALUATION WARNING:<\/strong><\/span> Overvalued stocks now make up 69.77% of our stocks assigned a valuation and 34.68% of those equities are calculated to be overvalued by 20% or more. Sixteen sectors are calculated to be overvalued.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ValuEngine tracks more than 7000 US equities, ADRs, and foreign stock which trade on US exchanges as well as @1000 Canadian equities.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Since we last presented the top Dow picks<\/a><\/strong> in January, we see little change. Our turnover is only ten percent. We see Merck this month in ninth spot and it has replaced Verizon in our top-ten list.<\/p>\n

We do see some change however, with American Express taking over the top spot from JPMorgan Chase. American Express moved up from fourth position to first while JPMorgan Chase fell from first to third. Other declining stocks include IBM and United Health.<\/p>\n

The only other stock–besides our leader–to improve its position this month was Intel Corp.<\/p>\n

Companies that held their positions this month are Goldman Sachs, Apple, Cisco Systems, and Traveler’s.<\/p>\n

We have no STRONG BUY-rated stocks in the DOW right now. Our entire top-ten list consists of BUY-rated equities with the exception of MRK and TRV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
