LEXINGTON, KY. (August 9): The new weekly Investing For Growth rankings are now posted and you'll notice (if you follow things closely around here) that they're identical to last week's rankings. That's right, a do-over week in IFG-ville.

At the top of the list remains brokerage company Quick & Reilly, followed by financial services firm Paychex, casino and hotel company Mirage Resorts, apparel maker Nautica Enterprises, and telecommunications equipment maker Tellabs.

The next two companies are computer/peripheral makers 3Com and SCI Systems. And rounding out the field are athletic shoe maker Nike, and two specialty retailers, The Gap and Ross Stores.

If you're using the classic IFG approach and starting a new portfolio or updating an old one, these are the ten stocks you'd include (even though they differ slightly from my model portfolio, which was updated in July and will be updated again the first week of October).

The relative strength variation list will be posted sometime late tomorrow in the IFG Statistics Center, along with the weekly report on the model portfolio returns. Enjoy the weekend and stay Foolish!
