JPMorgan Chase Dethrones IBM As Dow Leader

The companies listed below represent the top stocks within the index. They are presented below according to their one-month forecast gain.

We only have a 20% turnover this month as newcomers Intel and Apple replace Wal-Mart and Merck. 

IBM could not retain its top spot and falls two spots to third as JPMorgan Chase is our new leader. Cisco Systems, Verizon, and prior, long-time leader Traveler's also declined.

Moving up this month--in addition to the aforementioned JPM, are American Express and United Health

Currently we have no STRONG BUY-rated stocks in the DOW right now. Our entire top-ten list consists of BUY-rated equities.
