The ELF Report Stocks of the Week

NOTE: BUY and SELL signals for the ELF Report's portfolios are provided only in the detailed portfolio information provided on this Web site. New stocks introduced to portfolios during the past month are boldfaced in the index below.

Only two of the top performing stocks in the ELF Report Portfolios have been held for over two months. The best performing stock is Quiksilver Inc. (ZQK in the Stable Growth Portfolio). Receiving its initial BUY signal on 10/27/01 at $13.25, ZQK has soared 106 percent to its recent close of $27.40. It's holding period reaches to 4/28/03.

Amgen Inc. (AMGN in the Mid Cap Portfolio) is the ELF Report's second best performing stock. Actually, the portfolio acquired AMGN when the company bought out Immunex (IMNX) and inherited its large but unrealized capital gain. AMGN has continued to hold up well. Many think that the biotech industry is one of the current undervalued areas in the market. If that is so, AMGN should continue to do well between now and the late January expiration of IMNX's 18-month holding period.
