MessageHi Duke,

I have 4 recent Investor's Corners that give a brief description of the =
Institutional Sponsorship Rating, and the definitions are all similar. =
This description is from the 9/6/01 article:

The rating gauges the three year performance of the mutual funds =
investing in the stock. 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. The fund ratings are =
based on the prior 3 years performance, so it seemed to me that if the =
market were undergoing any major shifts, that the top performing funds =
would be come the laggards over the next cycle and vice versa. That =
meant that what the *laggard* funds were buying was actually more =
telling that what the *leading* funds were buying. I asked about this at =
the June 2000 seminar in NYC, wondering how we could monitor for this =
and was told that I was "trying to make it too complex." Complex or not, =
I decided to forever ignore these tables in the paper and instead pay =
attention to the price/volume action of the stocks, using a check on the =
quality of current institutional owners as a sanity check, but not a =
selection tool.

  What about the Sponsorship ratings that are listed in the minigraphs?  =
Their definition is:  "Based on change in number of funds owning stock =
recently and sponsors performance rating.  A is highest, E lowest."

  Anybody explain what this means or how it's derived?

  Duke
