Very brave conclusions, based on just one bad and one good year.

Ah, yes. But this idea came from Jim (mungofitch)! ;-)

Puts together several good factors:
* A highly ranked set of companies (the top 1000 companies by market capitalization in the United States)
* Valueline Timeliness rating
* High return-on-equity (ROE)
* High 5-year revenue growth
* Infequent trading
* Equal weighted, not cap-weighted

Seems arguably better than just picking a random 15% of the Russell 1000 stocks.
