* The Earnings Per Share Rating measures a company's earnings growth over the last five years. Then the percentage change in the last two quarters' earnings vs. the same quarters a year earlier is combined and averaged with the five-year figure. The result is then compared to all other companies in Investor's Business Daily's stock tables (not, as some people think, to other stocks on the same exchange or stocks in the same industry group) and rated on a scale of 1 to 99, with 99 being best.

** The Relative Price Strength Rating that appears for each stock is calculated by comparing its price change over the past 12 months to that of all other stocks in the tables. Results are rated on a scale from 1 to 99, with 99 being best. An RS Rating of 99 is the highest possible and means the stock has outperformed 99 percent of all stocks in the past 12 months. An RS Rating of 1 means nearly all other issues have done better. Market leaders usually rate 80 or higher.

When it comes to investments, you generally have two choices -- growth or income. Sometimes, you can have both. Stocks tend to be growth-oriented instruments, but some pay respectable dividends.

While its nice to earn a few extra percentage points. Don't buy just because it's paying the fattest dividend yield. Often, the biggest dividend yields come from older, more mature companies. Typically, they're not growing by leaps and bounds like many younger companies.

And investors should be aware that general market volatility or company-specific news could erase a yearly worth of dividends in a heartbeat.

All stocks also had to have Earnings Per Share (EPS*) Ratings of 80 or higher and Relative Price Strength (RS**) Ratings of 75 or higher.

Only stocks with Accumulation/Distribution Ratings of C- or higher were included in the list.

The higher the rating, the more a stock is being purchased by institutional investors. And professional investors are the main driving force behind stock prices.
