02/28/2004 --- Rockwell Collins Chosen by Banc of America Securities as One of Two Top Firms In Defense Sector.
Banc of America Securities has chosen Rockwell Collins and General Dynamics as its two top aerospace and defense companies. We recommended Rockwell Collins in October of 2001 and have reaped the rewards of the stock's 123.6% gain. Over the same time period, the S&P 500 rose only 7.1%.

01/26/2004 --- Jack Henry & Associates Increases Common Dividend 14% to $.04 Per Share.
Jack Henry & Associates, up 34% since our buy signal nine months ago (49% annualized), today announced that they will increase their common dividend 14% to 4 cents per share. The company processes ATM and debit card transactions for banks and credit unions. It also provides integrated computer systems for financial institutions.

12/21/03 --- Up 52.9% in the last 12 months, it has been a typical year for our recommended portfolio.
Our Primary Portfolio's value is up 472% since 1998 (35.6% per year). Equal investments in the S&P 500 would have resulted in a gain of only 1.3% per year. Meanwhile, our new high-dividend blue chip portfolio has risen 31.0% in its first eight months of existence (versus 16.1% for the market). The portfolio is on pace to increase 54.1% in 12 months. We have created a summary of our Primary Stock Portfolio's performance here.

12/03/03 --- Two More Analysts Jump On The GPRO Wagon After 165% Run Up in Price
In another example of too little, too late, two more Wall Street analysts jumped on the Gen-Probe bandwagon (ticker: GPRO), but only after the stock has risen 165.2% since we recommended the company to our subscribers in January this year. If you don't want to miss out on recommendations like this, subscribe today.

10/31/03 --- Update on Zimmer. Up 339% in three months.
Our more experienced subscribers have frequently requested recommendations for options. As a result, we recommended buying options for Zimmer Holdings on 7/31. The options have now increased 339% in three months (an annualized rate of 1,356%). Options are not suitable for most investors and as such, the portfolio returns quoted on our web site do not include the use of options. However, if we did include them, our returns would be even higher.

9/19/03 --- Another 13% jump this week means this stock is now up 174% this year.
Our recommended blood-screening technology company which recently announced a 2-for-1 stock split, saw its stock price rise 13% this week and is now up 174% since we recommended it on January 14, 2003. Six months after our recommendation, USB Piper Jaffray initiated coverage on the company. They rated the company as a "strong buy."

On June 18, a West Nile virus blood test developed by the same company will be used in clinical trials to test 80% of the U.S. blood supply. The company is a developer of testing products used to screen donated blood and to diagnose human disease.

On June 3, Merrill Lynch raised their price target for the firm. The new price target ($45) was 18% above the company's closing price for that date.

In addition, the company reached a major milestone in May. They initiated a clinical trial of a product that is designed to fully automate the nucleic acid testing process.

9/12/03 --- Strong cash flow results in 50% increase in dividend.
This furniture-and-fixtures company was up 7.2% this week on news that strong cash flows have resulted in a 50% increase in the dividend. The company has raised their dividend eleven times since 1989. After being recommended for our High-Dividend Blue Chip Stock Portfolio on 5/4/03, this company's stock is up 38.7% (a pace of 149% per year).

9/3/03 --- Office equipment company, up 97%, acquires competitor.
Additionally, on July 31, this company announced a 32% increase in earnings per share and also authorized a $20 million increase in its stock buyback program. The company's stock is up 97% since we recommended it on March 3, 2002.

9/2/03 --- Takeover boosts shares. Stock up 68%.
The medical equipment company we recommended to our subscribers rose 9.1% during the last six trading days. Today the stockholders of the takeover target (a rival) voted to approve the takeover bid. The winning bid is thought to be at a bargain price. The company is up 68% since being recommended.
