The Science of Making Money in Stocks
Why do some people succeed spectacularly in the market while others fail?
The market is the same for one person as it is the next.
Yet there are plenty of investors underperforming the market even while it’s making new all-time highs like now.
So why the big difference in performance between one person and another?
It all boils down two things:
1) Knowing what works, and…
2) Doing what works
While the stock market isn’t a perfect science, the fact remains that if you concentrate on what works and stop doing what doesn’t, you will most surely succeed in the market.
Knowledge Is Power
We’ve all heard the old adage: ‘knowledge is power’.
It’s a great saying because it’s true.
And that saying couldn’t be truer than when it comes to investing.
Take a look at your last big loser for example. After analyzing what went wrong, you soon discover some piece of information that — ‘had you known beforehand, you never would have gotten into it in the first place’.
I’m not talking about things that are unknowable, like inside information or surprise announcements that can catch even the most professional of professionals off guard. I’m talking about things that you could have known about or SHOULD have known about before you got in.
This is part of ‘knowing what works’.
• Did you know that roughly half of a stock’s price movement can be attributed to the group that it’s in?
• Did you also know that oftentimes a mediocre stock in a top performing group will outperform a ‘great’ stock in a poor performing group?
• And did you know that the top 50% of Zacks Ranked Industries outperforms the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1?
• And did you also know that the top 10% of industries outperformed the most?
More . . .
——————————————————————————————————
Today you can claim a copy of Finding #1 Stocks by Kevin Matras (a $49.95 value) free of charge. This 300-page hardbound book unfolds almost every stock-picking secret from the Zacks system that since 1988 through 2015 has nearly tripled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +26% per year. That incredible performance has been examined and attested by the independent accounting firm of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP.
You can take full advantage of that system without attending a single class or seminar in a lot less time than you think. Opportunity ends Saturday, May 13.
——————————————————————————————————
Was your last loser in one of the top industries or in one of the bottom industries?
If it was in one of the bottom industries, you should have known to not take a chance on something with a reduced probability of success.
That part is the ‘doing what works’. (And not doing what doesn’t work.)
That’s not to say that stocks in crummy industries won’t go up — they do. And that’s not to say that stocks in good industries won’t go down — because they do too.
But more stocks go up in the top industries, and more stocks go down in the bottom industries.
And that’s part of the science of making money in stocks.
If you follow a set of proven profitable rules, you’ll have a higher probability of succeeding.
Know What Works
• Did you know that stocks with ‘just’ double-digit growth rates typically outperform stocks with triple-digit growth rates?
• Did you also know that stocks with crazy high growth rates test nearly as poorly as those with the lowest growth rates?
Did your last loser have a spectacular growth rate?
If so, and it got crushed, would you have picked it if you knew that stocks with the highest growth rates have spotty track records?
It seems logical to think that the companies with the highest growth rates would do the best. But it doesn’t always turn out to be the case.
One explanation for this is that sky high growth rates are unsustainable. And the moment a more normal (albeit still good) growth rate emerges, the stock gets a dose of reality as well.
For example, a company earning 1 cent a share that is now expected to earn 6 cents, has a 500% growth rate. But, if it receives a downward revision to 5 cents, that’s a significant drop. Even though it still has a 400% growth rate, the estimates were just reduced by -16.7% and the price is likely to follow.
If you’ve ever wondered how a stock with a triple-digit growth rate could possibly go down — that’s how.
Instead, I have found that comparing a stock to the median growth rate for its industry is the best way to find solid outperformers with a lesser chance to disappoint. And there are growth rate ranges that have proven to work the best.
Did You Know?…
• Did you know that stocks receiving broker rating upgrades have historically outperformed those with no rating change by more than 1.5 times? And did you know they outperformed stocks receiving downgrades by more than 10 x as much? The next time one of your stocks is upgraded or downgraded, be sure to remember these statistics so you know how the odds stack up and whether they’re for you or against you.
• Did you know that stocks with a Price to Sales ratio of less than 1 have produced significantly superior results over companies with a Price to Sales ratio greater than those levels? And did you know that those with a Price to Sales ratio of greater than 4 have typically shown to lose money? That doesn’t mean that all stocks with a P/S ratio of less than one will go up and those over four will go down, but you can greatly increase your odds of success by following these valuations.
• Did you know that two simple filters added to the Zacks #1 Rank significantly increases its returns? What if you did? We have a screen that utilizes these two additional items. Over the last 17 years (2000 thru 2016), it’s produced an average annual return of 55.6% per year, while only holding five stocks in its portfolio at a time. It was up 70.7% in 2016. And so far this year (thru 4/30/17), this strategy is already up 16.9% (more than 2.3 x the market). That screen is aptly called the Filtered Zacks Rank 5 screen.
Do you know how well your stock picking strategies have performed?
Whether good or bad — do you know why?
Do you know if your favorite item to look for is helping you or hurting you?

How I would Invest $1000
Hey there,
I saw a post on here asking how to go about investing $1000 and it is also a popular topic so I thought I could contribute! I recently saw a video on this exact topic so here is a quick writeup:
Step One
- First, find a company that you think is successful. A company that is also very very large because these companies have a lower chance of going bankrupt.
- This is not a company that people think is good, its what you think is a good company. And this way the responsibility in choosing this stock is on you which is what will give you the most experience.
Step Two
- Second, spend $100 a month on buying the stocks. You buy more shares when its lower and less shares when its higher this is called dollar cost averaging because the dollar amount is fixed as in not changing.
- Do this for 3 months while watching the stock very closely. After three months you will have 30% of your portfolio allocated to the stock!
- Do not get scared if the stock price moves down, paper losses are losses you seem to have but havn’t actually made final and many beginners get scared at these paper losses.
Step Three
- Third, with 30% allocated to this stock this is when you make your first decision.
- This decision is difficult, it is if you want to allocate more, keep the stock as is, or sell the stock. If you aren’t confident making that decision just keep the current stock you have and watch it for a few months while you research a new stock.
- If you feel strong about the stock then allocate another $300 over 3 months. If you do this then now you have allocated 60% of your portfolio into this stock.
- If you have made profit so far don’t get too excited! But also well done. Gains and losses are not final until you sell.
Step Four
- Fourth, hopefully you allocated more to your first stock, you search for the next investment of yours!
- This time we will diversify slightly, and so you will pick a company in a separate sector. A sector is an area of the economy like banks or retail or real estate.
- With this second stock allocate $100 a month for 2 months. You now have a portfolio with 60% in primary stock 20% in secondary stock and 20% cash, liquidity.
- Liquidity is important to have as a new investor in case you need money to take out of the account, or want to invest in something you found right away.
Step Five
- The final step is to find a price you wish to sell the stock. This is up to you and how much you want to earn.
- Keep in mind average returns on the stock market are 8%. 8% of $600 is almost $50. Sell when your stock you paid $600 for is worth $650. This is more than an 8% return.
- A return is your money + a little extra.
TL:DR
- Find a big company, allocate 60% of your portfolio into it. Find big company #2 and allocate 20%. Allocate $100 on a monthly basis, ‘dollar cost averaging’.
Happy Investing!

How are common stocks and warrants correlated?
If investors continuously only buy X common stock and do not touch X company’s warrants, how will the warrant price move conversely with the common stock?
