My 20 Favorites

Dear Diary,

The February 29, 2008 30 Year Treasury Bond Yield is reported by "Value Line" to be 4.6%.

After more research, I've removed Forest Labs (FRX) and Biomet (BMET) from "My Favorite 20" because of their heavy reliance upon drug patents which wear out.

I also removed Patterson Companies (PDCO) due to a Net Profit Margin below 10.0%.

I added to "My 20 Favorites" Kinetic Concepts (KCI), Immucore, Inc. (BLUD) and Techne Corp. (TECH) to round out the list.
