This exclusive portfolio represents all stocks with a Strong Buy rating from at least five analysts with a 5-Star All Star ranking. These are the brokerage analysts whose stock recommendations proved to be the most profitable for investors. Since July 2002, this portfolio has generated an annualized return of 12.92%, exceeding the S&P 500 by a margin of more than 50%. Here is a synopsis of why these stocks are in the All Star Analysts Portfolio:

CACI International, Inc. (NYSE:CAI) believes it is stronger than it has ever been in its 44-year history. In its fiscal first quarter, the company's contract awards totaled about $800 million, an all-time high, with approximately half from new business. CACI reported revenue of $423.1 million, or practically 9% above the previous year's $388.7 million. Earnings of 62 cents per share matched the consensus. Furthermore, CACI will continue its robust mergers and acquisitions program, which the company said is a highly successful element of its growth strategy. A number of All Stars like the company's present success and future potential.

Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) announced last week that Fluke Electronics, a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a definitive agreement to buy Visual Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:VNWK). Visual Networks is a leading provider of network test and application performance management solutions. The total purchase price is approximately $75 million in cash, including transaction costs and net of estimated cash to be acquired. Late last month, Danaher posted third-quarter earnings of 70 cents per share on sales of approximately $1.97 billion. The earnings result, which matched the Wall Street consensus, compared to 62 cents in the year-earlier quarter. Sales advanced 12.5% year-over-year.

Illinois Tool Works, Inc. (NYSE:ITW) is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered components and industrial systems and consumables. Last month, the company announced that operating revenues advanced 9% for the three months ended Oct 31, 2005. That consisted of 5% growth from base revenues, 3% growth from acquisitions and 1% growth from currency translation. Illinois Tool Works also reaffirmed its fourth=quarter and full-year earnings guidance. For the third quarter, Illinois Tool Works posted earnings of $1.43 per share, compared to $1.09 a year earlier, on operating revenues that advanced 10% to about $3.2 billion. The company remains on the lists of several All Star analysts.

QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) reported fiscal fourth-quarter results last month, which included earnings per share of 32 cents that marked a year-over-year improvement. Revenues of $1.56 billion marked advances of 40% and 15% on a year-over-year and sequential basis respectively. QUALCOMM, which recently announced that its Board of Directors approved a new $2.5 billion stock repurchase program, stated that its record financial results reflect the accelerating migration to CDMA throughout the world, and it expects 2006 to be another strong growth year with new CDMA handset shipments growing by about 30%. The company remains a favorite with several of the All Stars analysts.
