Again, a large number of new stocks are being added to the list this week: Baker Hughes, Bank One, Bristol Myers Squibb, Dupont, Hewlett Packard, Viacom, Walt Disney, Wells Fargo, and Williams. Merck returns after having been dropped last week. No stocks were deleted from the portfolio.

It has been a heck of a three month run with an ever-broadening list of stocks performing well, but I expect the market to take a summer vacation now.
