The Daily Workshop Report
by Robert Sheard (TMF Sheard)

LEXINGTON, KY. (July 3, 1997)  Today ends the first half of the fiscal year for our Growth Screens. This weekend, then, marks the update for three of our holding periods (monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual cycles). I'll be posting the new database this weekend on our AOL site.

It's likely that the new database won't get posted on the Web site until Monday since our web staff isn't in the office over the weekend, but I'll try to get the database copied into the Web site's Foolish Workshop message folder so you can see it before it's officially updated on Monday.

In the meantime, however, here are the revisions to the stocks included in the database for the next week. Delete FIFTH THIRD BANCORP <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: FITB)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: FITB)") end if %>, MORGAN PRODUCTS <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: MGN)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: MGN)") end if %>, and SAFEWAY <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: SWY)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: SWY)") end if %>. In their place, add MICHAEL FOODS <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(Nasdaq: MIKL)") else Response.Write("(Nasdaq: MIKL)") end if %>, PFIZER <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: PFE)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: PFE)") end if %>, and U.S. CELLULAR <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE: USM)") else Response.Write("(NYSE: USM)") end if %>.

The new Investing for Growth order is:

Helen of Troy (HELE)
Tellabs (TLAB)
Western Digital (WDC)
Dell Computer (DELL)
Quantum Corp (QNTM)
Compaq Computer (CPQ)
Dollar General (DG)
Price (T.Rowe) (TROW)
Franklin Resources (BEN)
Robert Half Int'l (RHI)

Happy Independence Day!
