Independent
We are an independent stock research firm. We do not have a sell-side arm. Nor are we owned by another firm that does have a sell-side.Our objective is pure precise research.
Focused
Furthermore, we analyze only publicly traded American companies. We do not analyze foreign corporations, commodities, or currencies. We specialize in what we do best.
Accurate
These policies allow us to excel by doing an objective and thorough bottom-up analysis of the 2,000 most popular American companies. There is a direct correlation between how openly a research firm reports its performance and how accurately that research works.And no firm is more open than are we.
We Emphasize Integrity
Unfortunately, we are part of an industry that does not always live up to the highest standards. Many of the slick snake oil salesmen of yesteryear have gone into stock research. There are many stock research firms that cannot beat the market, but they are extremely skilled at tricking the public into thinking that they can beat the market.
Click here to learn what those tricks are:
We engage in none of these tricks. We give our clients simple and unambiguous recommendations (i.e. buy/sell/hold ratings) and then provide a complete and unbiased report on those recommendations.
Our performance seems modest when you compare it to the wild claims made by unscrupulous stock research firms. But it stands out brilliantly when you clear away this smoke and measure the light that remains.
If you are a no-nonsense investor who is not taken in by smoke and mirrors and who wants practical and illuminating research, then our research is for you.
We Emphasize Consistency
We would rather have research that works modestly but consistently than research that works spectacularly one period and horribly the next. Slow, steady progress wins the race.
A fringe benefit of this emphasis on consistency is that it will not take long for us to prove to you that our research is actually working.
If you value consistency as much as we do, you will covet our research.
We Emphasize Fundamental Analysis
As you continue to read and enjoy our research, you will learn the high regard we have for fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis is logical, enlightening and (if done properly) foolproof.
There are many other stock research firms that employ fundamental analysis. None of them do it as skillfully and successfully as we do. Only one firm revers fundamental analysis so highly that it calls itself www.StockFundamentalist.com.
Those people who claim fundamental analysis does not work, should use our research for six months. There is an 83 % chance they will change their minds.
