The list is from the Investor Business Daily's Friday paper which they call the weekend review. These are the best stocks that the paper thinks that may go up over the next few weeks. The 85/85 signifies two ratings that the paper gives to stocks. One is Relative Strength (RS). RS is how fast the stock is rising relative to all the other stocks. a RS of 85 means that over the last few months the stock has risen faster than 85% of the stocks. The other rating is Earnings Per Share (EPS). The paper rates how fast the earnings have been increasing over the last couple of years relative to other stocks. 85/85 shows the stocks have strong earnings growth and the market is accepting the trend by bidding up the stock. These are good stocks to invest in. A lot of people look for buying opportunities in these stocks with TA. Best Wishes, Bob
