DESCRIPTION:

Date updated:01-13-2007

FRED KUEHNDORF, manager of Dreyfus Premier S&P Stars, profiled in Barrons January 15, 2007. "16% annualized gain-versus the 13.08% average for its peers-according to Morningstar, which gives it a four-star rating."

"We typically initiate positions at 2% [the fund totals about 50 stocks ], and we let the winners run," he says. The average market cap is about $7 billion. More generally, "you are investing in companies at a great point in their evolution, because they have grown past the point where they can be squashed by a competitor," he says. They also are less likely than large-caps to grab headlines with excesses like oversized executive payouts.

The recent increase in mergers and acquisitions could also help the fund, because S&P's discounted cash-flow models "historically have been good at identifying takeover candidates," he says.

Celgene (CELG) is one of Kuehndorf's perennial favorites. Shares of the Summit, N.J., company have soared most recently on the Food and Drug Administration's approval of its drugs Thalomid and Revlimid to treat a blood cancer known as multiple myeloma. "They are generating a lot of cash flow, and the growth in cash flow should be pretty nice,"
