LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 17): A light news day for the IFG portfolio. Nevertheless, Dionex <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:DNEX)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:DNEX)") end if %> and Tellabs <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:TLAB)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:TLAB)") end if %> each contributed to drag the portfolio down a bit on no news.

The one stock with news today was United HealthCare <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NYSE:UNH)") else Response.Write("(NYSE:UNH)") end if %>. The company announced today that it has been awarded two government health reform contracts worth more than $95 million. United HealthCare Plans of Puerto Rico will provide management services to residents eligible for Medicaid in the eastern and southwestern areas of Puerto Rico. That's a potential field of 158,000 people. The plan will begin delivering services in August.

For those of you following along with the Weekly IFG Statistics Center files, I've posted the completed weekend update today. You can find the year-to-date returns for all of the variations we track online as well as a current list of stocks meeting the variations' criteria. Take a look if you're considering one of the variations for your Growth-stock portfolio.
