Hi EK, Re: Value Line Timeliness............. I'm using a product from PowerShares these days to keep on track with Value Line's Timeliness rankings. I'm using PYH which follows VL's "Timely stocks in timely industries." Here's what their web site has to say about it: "The PowerShares Value Line Industry Rotation Portfolio (Fund) is based on the Value Line Industry Rotation Index. The Index is comprised of 75 stocks chosen based on both their Timeliness™ rank and their industry Timeliness™ rank. The Index is designed to first rank all industries represented in the Value Line universe by their industry Timeliness™. The Index then selects the highest ranked stock for Timeliness™ from each of the 50 highest Timeliness™-rated industries, as well as the second highest Timeliness™-ranked stock from each of the 25 highest rated industries. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly using the same methodology as described above." There's also PIV by the same fund family. That one uses VL's Timeliness, Safety and Technical rankings to come up with a list of holdings. I may have mentioned these before, but thought they needed further review. I've now owned PYH for several months. It trades rather thinly, so owning a substantial position could prove tough for anyone interested in short term trading. PIV trades a bit more on a daily basis so has slightly better liquidity. Finally, there's another ETF that follows Value Line and it's by First Trust. FVL is its symbol. Similar flavor, slightly different structure. Best regards, Tom
