Previous Steady Gaining Stocks I have been posting and updating a list of stocks that had been previously posted as having made steady gains over the past twelve 25 day trading periods, in response to a request for such a list. I have been asked me to keep track of these periodically. Here is the latest update. SYMBOL ORIG ORIG CLOSE CLOSE WEEK PCT. CHANGE PCT.

I used criteria which would have required a stock to have performed well through the October, 1997 correction, the theory being that a stock that held through that period and continued to make gains would be resilient through a subsequent correction. Well, while I can't say much about resiliency, at least some of these made decent rebounds last week. Since I believe that these tickers have a good chance of a rebound when (and if) the market stabilizes, I will only be dropping stocks from this list (SFSK) which have fallen below the 200 dma. I will continue to drop from this list as support is broken. I would also note, however, that I dropped SKYW from last week's list, it dropped like a rock, and then I took a position in SKYW on Friday because it looked like it had been overbeaten, and I look for it to make back at least a few more points. So, just because I drop a ticker like SFSK from this study list, I will continue to watch it. The companies that made it on to this list in my view are good companies which all make for good trading opportunities. David
