Explanation of the Cluster Code Table
The table columns are 1) Cluster Code, 2) Stock Ticker, 3)
Stock Name, 4) Value Line Industry.
The Cluster Code can be read from left to right.
Each branching point of the cluster tree is designated by a '1' or a '2'.
The groups described in the main text are composed of stocks with the same first
four branching points. For example, 'Technology' is the label given to all
stocks with cluster codes beginning with 'C1112'. The more positions in
the code, starting from the left, that are the same, the more similar the
monthly returns of stocks within that sub-cluster over the decade ending
February, 2003.
If you have a particular stock in mind, go to the
Cross-reference Appendix, look up its cluster code,
and then return here to see what stocks are most similar and most different.
Or return to the main text of the
'Hurrah for Differences!' article.
