BLUE-CHIP GROWTH STOCKS FOR THE LONG RUN
By Michael Sivy

(MONEY Magazine) – Two stocks fell more than 5% last month: Abbott Laboratories and ConocoPhillips. The oil giant has bid to acquire Burlington Resources at a price that some analysts think rather high. Double-digit gainers include Anadarko Petroleum, an independent oil and gas producer similar to Burlington. Other big winners for the month were former tech star Dell, drugmaker Lilly and Limited Brands, the company that owns Victoria's Secret.
