INDEXING

--Applied Materials Still Top NASDAQ Stock For ValuEngine.com

ValuEngine tracks more than 7000 US equities, ADRs, and foreign stock which trade on US exchanges as well as @1000 Canadian equities.  When EPS estimates are available for a given equity, our model calculates a level of mispricing or valuation percentage for that equity based on earnings estimates and what the stock should be worth if the market were totally rational and efficient--an academic exercise to be sure, but one which allows for useful comparisons between equities, sectors, and industries. Using our Valuation Model, we can currently assign a VE valuation calculation to more than 2800 stocks in our US Universe.

We also use trading data to provide forecast estimates for a variety of time horizons for almost ever equity in our database. Our Buy/Sell/Hold recommendations are based upon the 1-year forecast return figure. Using valuation and forecast figures, you can rank and rate our covered stocks against each other, to find out, in an objective and systematic way, the most attractive investment targets based on your own risk/reward parameters. We re-calculate the entire database every trading day, so you are assured that every proprietary valuation and forecast datapoint is as up-to-date as possible.

We can use our data to track individual stocks, industries, sectors, and indices. For today's bulletin, we present key metrics for the top picks in the NASDAQ 100. The companies listed below represent the top-ten BUY and STRONG BUY stocks within the index. They are presented below according to their one-month forecast target prices.

Since we last reported on the NASDAQ back in December, we find a NASDAQ top-ten list that is little changed with minimal turnover. We only have one new component this month, CSX Corp. The newcomer replaced Seagate Technologies.

At the top of our list, we see little change as both Applied Materials and LAM Research have retained their number one and number two positions respectively. Cisco Systems also managed to hold on to its position in ninth.

American Airlines, CA Inc, and Broadcom LTD managed to move up a few spots while Qualcomm and Netease declined.

Note too, all of these companies are BUY-rated with the exception of leader Applied Materials. That company remains a STRONG BUY.
