Symbol	Name
DD	E.I. Du Pont de Nemours - #4 overall and in SSR and Days Earnings - RVI's are high - would stick to the near date as the model suggests. We like this stock.
GE	General Electric - #1 overall ranking in this group - #1 in Days and SSR as well. RVI;s are mid range, nearly 14 pbs in premium/day - plenty of people think this stock is risky and the pricing indicates this as well. We are split on the stock but are willing to own it very short term.
INTC	Intel Corporation - RVI's are mid range - near date Days Earnings at 8+bps/day. We like this stock.
JNJ	Johnson & Johnson - RVI's are at the top expensive, Days Earnings are low. We like this sector but JNJ just doesn't offer much with our strategy.
KFT	Kraft Foods Inc. - RVI's are really high although the range is low - The dividend is pain in all scenarios making the trade more attractive. Like the sector and would take the model's suggestion of the near dated trade.
MRK	Merck & Co, Inc - RVI's are mid range - the range overall is small at $6.62 or 19% - not an exciting trade.
PFE	Pfizer, Inc - #2 overall and in SSR and Days Earnings - RVI's are very high, we would take the recommended near date and roll to the next date to gain the 1.0% dividend.
PG	The Procter & Gamble Company - We like this sector and this stock - not exciting but mid low RVI's - low range at 14% - and 7 bps a day earning on a bedrock consumer non-cyclical/non-durables.
T	AT&T - #3 overall and in SSR and Days Earnings - RVI's are very high, we do like this stock and this sector.
VZ	Verizon Communications Inc - Like T above this stock is attractive - however, not as attractive using our strategy as T - we like the sector and the choices will be driven by fundamental data and preference - or coping out and buying both to avoid choosing.
