I thought I would present a table that I have not done before. I keep the data and update it periodically, but it is a little harder to present than the other tables. This shows the data sorted by the last 8 weeks price change. Along with that is the analyst data that can be obtained from several web sources - I obtained mine from Yahoo. The first 2 rows show the number of analysts ranking each stock and the ranking from 1 to 5, 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest. The last three columns show the ranking given for the stock out of the total number of stocks placed in that category. The last column is the ratio listed in decimal format. The last columns show little, if any, correlation with the performance of each stock for the last 8 weeks. The first entry in the table, WJ, says it all. It is the worst ranked stock in the table yet it had the least amount of loss in the last 8 weeks. The last 5 entries in the table had outstanding rankings, but the worst performance over the past 8 weeks.
