Stephen Castellano [email protected]  Ascendere Weekly Ranking Update:  December 3, 2010 Every week, we include in this report a list of the highest quality and lowest quality stocks as defined by four key factors: 1) Relative Value; 2) Operating Momentum; 3) Analyst Revision Momentum; and 4) F undamental Quality.  At the end of each month, we take roughly 1/3 of the stocks on this list to construct our various long/short and long-only model portfolios based on real trade data . But as you can read below, there are several other ways to use this data.  This week, 63 stocks make the "high-quality" l ist, up from 60 last week, with 6 additi ons and 3 deletions. 26 stocks make the "low-quality" list, down from 30 l ast week, with 3 additions and 7 deletions.  The most interesting new "high-quality" name to appear is Polaris Industries, Inc. (PII), a $2.5b market cap manufacturer of all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles and motorcycles.  Three ways to use this newsletter: 1)  Build your own hedge fund Use data in this report at discretion or as an enhancement to our model portfolio strategy newsletter.  2)  Anticipate sell side research ratings changes It is not uncommon to find these stocks presaging changes to sell side price targets, ratings or conviction li sts.  See our " Nostradamus" report.  3)  Generate relevant long-term ideas for further study Buy and hold still does work.  We do the heavy lifting and find you "high-quality" stocks; you provide the incremental research time and effort.  Examples of some recent sell side a ctions that we preempted since November 30, 2010  12/3/2010: RPC, Inc. (RES) -- Canaccord Genuity raised its price target to $37 from $30.  12/2/2010: Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC) -- was named a long Research Tactical Idea at Morgan Stanley. --theflyonthewall.com  .
