A Statement from Jean B. Buttner, Chairman and CEO
of Value Line Publishing, Inc.
Investors need to have unbiased and independent research! That is something Value Line subscribers have known for over 70 years. Value Line has no investment banking business with any company, including the approximately 1,700 companies our analysts follow. Unlike typical Wall Street brokerage firms, Value Line does not execute trades for its subscribers and therefore has no vested interest in whether its subscribers buy, sell or hold. Our staff of professional securities analysts may not own shares of a company that they are assigned to cover. Our subscribers receive only the highest quality of unbiased and independent research.
We utilize a time-proven disciplined system that ranks a company's relative performance over the next 12 months from 1, Highest, to 5, Lowest. Our record of performance speaks for itself: From April 16, 1965 through June 30, 2004, the Value Line stocks ranked No. 1 for Timeliness outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 Indexes by more than 38 to 1.
If you are looking for unbiased, independent, and objective investment research and ideas, look no further than Value Line ? we answer only to you.
Very truly yours,
Jean B. Buttner, Chairman & CEO
