    I ran accross note 817, the "Dogs of the Dow" and am wondering
    about other stratigies, or are there hundreds, trillions ?
    Any reference books ?  Is this separate from the various
    technicial analysis' ?
    Thanks,
    Bill

|     what has worked for me is to read peter lynch's books on investing,
    research value line, keep a close eye on the companies that i like the
    most; coca-cola, exxon, mobil, etc. and then wait for the right time to
    buy....like now in some cases.

|     I guess I didn't ask that question the right way.
>>  keep a close eye on the companies that i like the

    How about "Why do you like them and when is the right time " ?
    
    Someone on the local news used as a example, I forgot the term used
    but was something like when a stock is below the corporate value....
    The example was Digital Equipment Corp awhile back.  Some big buyers
    made a 100% return.
    If your comparing the Value Line reports of a couple of stocks
    what do you compare ?
    Thanks again,
    Bill

        Price to Book
        Return on Equity
        etc.
