3com is still a 5-star stock in S&P, BAY used to be one but it's not there anymore. ************************************************************* "5-STARS Recommendations - the latest on Standard & Poor's Five STAR stocks" Our staff of equity analysts evaluates approximately 1,100 stocks in 103 industry groups, continuously reviewing each stock's ranking in one of five performance categories. Our Stock Appreciation Ranking System, or STARS, rates stocks from sell candidates, or one-star stocks, to outstanding buys, our five-star recommendations. Our analysts' STARS evaluations have been consistently useful to investors over the short term and have also stood the test of time. From the beginning of 1987 through the end of 1996, the compound annual gain of the five-STARS stocks category, stocks expected to be the best performers within six months to a year, was 18.5% vs. 11.8% for the S&P 500 index.
