"Fundamentally strong companies are participating in this
stock-market rally and we see the out-performance of the IU25 as
proof that companies with good fundamentals make the best long-term
investments," said R. Scott
Raynovich, Editor In Chief of Investor Uprising, the creator
of the index.
IU25 index companies are selected on the basis of strict,
value-based financial criteria. For example, shares are only
selected if the price/earnings (P/E) ratio is below or at least
equal to the growth rate of the company.
A historical summary of major events in the history of the IU25
Index can be reviewed in Raynovich's overview "A Guide to Value:
What's in the IU25 Index." Companies with outstanding
performance in the index over the last 10 months include Apple Inc.
(Nasdaq: AAPL), which is up nearly 40% since it was selected,
Gilead Sciences Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD), up 37%, and Celgene Inc.
