The January 25, 2008 edition of Valueline’s 100 Top Ranked Stocks for Timeliness swapped out IBM for Nvidia.� IBM joins Coke, Merck, Microsoft on the list; within the last year, nearly half of the Dow 30 has marched through the timeliness list: in addition to the four above, Alcoa, American Express, AIG, AT&T, Boeing, Caterpillar, Dupont, Exxon, Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, have all sauntered through.� � Most fell off the list as a function not of earnings disappointments but “dynamism of the ranking index”

Could overly� frequent large cap presence amongst the go-go VL Timeliness rankings be a bearish signal?� � � A mere� flight to safety given that 2007 registered only a 6.4% gain in the Dow?
