 "Standard & Poor's", "S&P" and "S&P 500" are trademarks of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.  PowerPicks 2006 and the PowerPicks portfolios of earlier years are model portfolios only; they are not collective investment funds.  The model performance shown has inherent limitations. Such results do not represent actual trading and thus do not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on decision-making if actual assets had been managed. 

In addition, these results do not take into account timing differences between the security selections made by S&P and purchases that would have been made by individuals or their advisors based on those selections.  The performance shown takes into account the reinvestment of dividends and distributions, but does not take into account brokerage commissions, fees or other charges.  Inclusion of such commissions, fees and charges will cause results to be lower than those shown.Past performance is no guarantee of future 
performance. 

The S&P 500 index is designed to measure performance of 500 leading large-capitalization US companies.  This index is unmanaged, includes a different number of holdings, and has different risk characteristics than the PowerPicks stocks, does not reflect expenses or fees or take into account the reinvestment of dividends.  It is not possible to invest directly in an index.  Stocks included in a PowerPicks portfolio may or may not also be included within the S&P 500. 

A complete list of stocks comprising the S&P PowerPicks 2006 portfolio or prior years' PowerPicks model portfolios is available from Standard & Poor's upon request.  The value of the stocks may fluctuate, and an investment based upon PowerPicks may lose money.  The equity research reports and recommendations provided by Standard & Poor's Equity Research are performed separately from any other analytic activity of Standard & Poor's.  Standard & Poor's Equity Research has no access to non-public information received by other units of Standard &Poor's.  Standard &Poor's does not trade for its own account.

The URLwire Effect:
"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site"
-- CoolShopping.com

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive. I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin Hayward
