Interesting to me, at any rate. I'll explain: The weekend of October 9, I created a Boomer Babies Watch List = portfolio using the closing price on October 8 as the basis for each = stock.

Going back to October 3rd's SOD and working forward, I found: = Out of the 84 stocks on the Boomer Babies list, 38 (45%) have made at = least one SOD appearance since 10/3. (The most is 7 appearances by a = total of five of the stocks.) Sorting the list based on the number of appearances by each stock = revealed stocks that appeared more than five times increased an average = of 5.5%; those appearing one to four times rose less than half that at = an average of 2.3%. As for the five that have appeared seven times, = they're up a little over 8%. But what of the 56 stocks not appearing on a SOD since October 3? = Holy assumption, Batman, they're up an average of 9.3%!!
