It won't help you as far as PageRank but it might help for your customers. I have links to all of my competitors.

Actually, Roy, some people do believe that a couple of links to popular on-topic sites can help your own search performance.

Back in Nov. around Florida time - I added some "themed" outbound links to dominant sites in my category - with all of the changes on google all the time --- its hard to say 100% --- but I "feel" that this does help

By linking to sites that are unlikely to link back to you, you are reducing the proportion of the your reciprocal links to your total outbound links. I don't know if Google takes this into acount but I have a gut feeling it does.

I have experienced a surge in PR when I put a number of outbound links on a page. Perhaps it coincided with other factors that caused the improvement, but I am, for the moment, going with the "outbound links help" approach. Oh, and for the sake of staying on topic, these sites that I linked to were not major players but were just your garden variety sites.
