So, what exactly is the Warm & Fuzzy index? I have learned that when I run various screens on Morning Star that regardless of what other criteria I'm looking at when I get done I also want to see which stocks are 5 star, low risk and have a wide moat. I want to feel a certain sense of comfort with stocks I might be buying with my hard earned money so I finally decided to just run a screen which looked for nothing but 5 star stocks (which mean value), low risk (which means less of a chance of me losing my money) and wide moat (which means there's a competetive advantage enjoyed by these companeis ...they're just better than the rest)

Out of the 18 stocks that resulted in the WARM index I only found 5 which were not part of either the DOW or S&P500 those 5 are as follows

1. Berkshire Hathaway - Large Core, Classic Growth
2. Expeditors International of Washington - Mid Growth, Classic Growth
3. Fastenal - Mid Growth, Classic Growth
4. Western Union - Large Growth, Classic Growth
5. Washington Post - Mid Core, Classic Growth

After the name of each company I listed it's position in the Morningstar Style Box as well as its stock type.
