Dear Subscribers,

The trouble with having two computers is that I have the same things on both
of them, but I forgot to move my updated Blue Chip list over to the one I
used to send today's newsletter. That is an outdated list. Sorry about that.
You can discard that list because it is about two or three weeks old. The
list below is the bona fide, up to date, real Blue Chip list:
