Apple, Craftmade, Dell Among 'Darts vs Pros' Picks, WSJ Says Dell Computer Corp. and YPF SA were predicted by four analysts to rise more than the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the next several months, according to contestants in the Wall Street Journal's ''Darts v. Pros.'' Apple, the No. 9 personal computer maker, has been rejuvenated by recent changes in its product line, said David J. Leinweber, managing director of First Quadrant, while No. 3 PC company Dell's build-to-order direct-sales model will boost its earnings and stock price, said David Dietze of Point View Financial, the Journal said. Craftmade International, a Texas-based distributor and maker of ceiling fans and light fixtures, will see 40 percent earnings growth over the next four years, said Kathy Oher, senior vice president and research director at Southwest Securities, and earnings will improve next year at YPF, a Buenos Aires-based oil company with American depositary receipts, said Peter Viachos, manger of the Austin Global Equity Fund, according to the newspaper.
