LEXINGTON, KY. (October 28): Investing for Growth's technology stocks repaired a little damage from last week today, even in the face of a generally apathetic and negative market. ADC Telecom, Tellabs, SCI Systems, and 3Com were all on the winning side of the struggle.

3Com and MCI <% if gsSubBrand = "aolsnapshot" then Response.Write("(NASDAQ:MCIC)") else Response.Write("(NASDAQ:MCIC)") end if %> announced today that 3Com's networking solutions will be integrated into MCI's Enterprise WAN (Wide Area Network) Managed Services. The services include the design, implementation and management of such networks. Under the agreement, MCI customers can purchase, lease or rent 3Com's networking products directly through MCI.

Coke keeps bringing the real thing to China. Coca-Cola announced today that the size of its bottling plant in the eastern China city of Hangzhou has tripled in order to keep up with growing demand.

The $20 million expansion includes an area increase of 50,000 square meters, making it one the largest plants of its kind in China. Coca-Cola estimates it has 40 million potential consumers in the eastern province of Zhejiang.

Looking ahead, this weekend marks the updates for the model portfolios that are on a monthly rotation (I always use the rankings on the first Friday of each month). So stay tuned Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon for the rankings which the IFG (Relative Strength) model and the Unemotional Growth model for November will be based on.
