*NEW* Quarterly update as of 6/20/08See Update

The TD AMERITRADE Premier List has been updated by Morningstar Associates. Please be advised of the following changes:

1. After four years of being closed to new investors, Dodge & Cox Stock (DODGX) has reopened thus giving investors an opportunity to get into a top flight core value fund that is not always available. Due to the three fund limit, we've removed American Century Value Investor (ACTIX). Our view on ACTIX has not changed.

2. We have also added T. Rowe Price High Yield Bond (PRHYX) to the high yield category. The fund stands midway between the more aggressive Fidelity Capital & Income (FAGIX) and the comparatively conservative PIMCO product (PHYDX). Despite some recent turnover, we believe that this fund remains a strong option.

3. The Latin American category has been added since we have two good funds in our screening universe; T. Rowe Price Latin America (PRLAX) and Fidelity Latin America (FLATX).

4. T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Stock (PRMSX) has re-opened to TD AMERITRADE retail investors and is now back on the Premier List.
