The Daily IFG Report (FOOL GLOBAL WIRE) by Robert Sheard (MF DowMan) LEXINGTON, Ky. (Apr. 19): For an options expiration Friday, when stocks usually go haywire, there's not much to report for the IFG holdings today. And maybe that's a good thing. The only news crossing the wires was a Bear Stearns upgrade on software maker Oracle <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:ORCL)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:ORCL)") end if %>. Bear Stearns started coverage on the stock with a Buy rating. Didn't particularly help Oracle today, however; it closed up just a fraction. Mike Buckley (MF Buck) is going to be away from his computer for most of the weekend and since Mike usually figures the YPEG ratios on the new list of Investing For Growth stocks each weekend, I thought I would post the new list here for all to see. If anyone gets industrious and calculates the YPEG ratios for the list, please post them in the IFG folder and drop Mike a note. 1) United HealthCare (UNH) 2) RoTech Medical (ROTC) 3) Green Tree (GNT) 4) Checkpoint Systems (CKP) 5) Dionex (DNEX) 6) Medtronic (MDT) 7) Bio-Rad Labs (BIO/A) 8) Tellabs (TLAB) 9) ThreeCom (COMS) 10) Seagate Technology (SEG) 11) SCI Systems (SCIS) 12) Hewlett-Packard (HWP) 13) Oracle (ORCL) 14) Computer Associates (CA) 15) Sterling Software (SSW) 16) Quick & Reilly Group (BQR) 17) Thermo Electron (TMO) 18) The Gap (GPS) 19) Nike (NKE) 20) Paychex (PAYX) For those of you following along with the Relative Strength variations, I'll post the updated list this weekend after Monday's Investor's Business Daily comes out. Have a Foolish weekend!
