This helps you zero in on stocks that have a = place in the portfolios of the best performing funds. The rating also = factors in the number of funds moving into and out of the stock in = recent quarters. The paper is the only place I've ever seen this ranking. It doesn't = appear in DGO or Investors.com in this same form, so I've only found it = "of interest" over the years. In some ways this can actually be = misleading. In early 2000, I noticed that in the paper's "What Mutual = Funds are Buying" in which they list buys of the top rated funds, that = they were buying everything that was topping out.
