What
is TenBestStocks' Objective?
The core objective of TenBestStocks is to objectively identify
decline resistant stocks that have the greatest statistical probability
for growth over a six-month horizon. TenBestStocks provides

that can be efficiently used in their individual investment strategy.

What
is the TenBestStocks Concept?
The TenBestStocks Concept is a professionally engineered process
for identifying stocks that meet the TenBestStocks objective (growth
potential and decline resistance). A dynamic pool of over 500 stocks
is objectively established and maintained based on inputs from well-respected
publicly available investment resources. Each stock within
this pool is processed through a proprietary computer model that
uses only current or historical measurable facts about each stock.
This computer model calculates an objective mathematical rating
for each stock that compares the stock's statistical probability
for growth and decline resistance to that of the typical historical
stock exhibiting exceptional future growth and decline resistance.
Each week the 500+ stocks are ranked using the TenBestStocks
computer model and process with the highest ranked 100 stocks
forming the final 100-stock pool for the week. The highest ranked 10 stocks in the resulting 100-stock differentiation
comprise the TenBestStocks.

How do you effectively use the
TenBestStocks Information?
The information provided by TenBestStocks is based on a totally
objective, fully documented, and fact-based engineered process.
TenBestStocks does not subjectively time the market or attempt to
foretell the future prospects of specific stocks based on speculative
opinions or projections.
The effective application of TenBestStocks' Weekly Web Update
has ranged from its use as key supplemental investment information
- to a core investment strategy. Subscribers successfully
applying the TenBestStocks Concept are typically mathematically
minded and disciplined with the capacity to make unemotional, rational
decisions. Investors using TenBestStocks comprehensively have
found the following decision points valuable in establishing their
investment strategy:
|
1 |
Determine the total number of stocks to be owned. The
fewer number stocks owned within the portfolio results in greater
fluctuation risk. The greater number stocks owned clearly
result in greater diversification but also increased demand
on the investor's time and resources. A portfolio between
7 and 12 stocks averaging around 10 stocks has been successful. |
|
2 |
Determine the minimum percentage of stocks to be maintained
within the TenBestStocks. The fewer number of stocks ranked
1 through 10 within the portfolio typically reduces portfolio
rotation but increases the proportion of lower ranked stocks.
Inversely, the greater number of stocks ranked 1 through 10
typically increases portfolio rotation but maintains a higher
proportion of higher ranked stocks. A reasonable percentage
of stocks maintained within the TenBestStocks to balance rotation
versus performance probability is around 70%. |
|
3 |
Determine the TenBestStocks ranking to automatically sell
a stock.Establish the highest numbered (or the lowest rated)
TenBestStocks rank to sell a stock - unless there is a compelling
reason known to otherwise hold it). This converts
the difficult "Should I sell?" and "When should
I sell?" questions into a proactive decision. The
higher the TenBestStocks rank that is established, the fewer
trade transactions that will likely be required. (For
example, investor who owns 12 stocks and sets the sell rank
at 15 will have more transactions and greater portfolio turnover
than an investor who owns 7 stocks and sets the sell ranking
at 25.) Again, subscribers are informed regularly through
the Weekly Web Update. A reasonable rank to sell a stock
would be between 15 and 25. |
|
4 |
Determine a rational stop loss percentage. Determine
your stop loss percentage. No method for identifying
stocks -including TenBestStocks- can avoid all possibility
of price decline so a rational stop loss level should be established.
Many investors using the TenBestStocks concept have implemented
a 12 to 15% stop loss discipline effectively. |
|
5 |
Establish a diversification strategy. While the TenBestStocks
identified in the Weekly Web Update are typically diversified
between 6 and 8 industries or market segments a diversification
strategy for replacing stocks sold should be established.
The TenBestStocks Computer Model objectively identifies the
strongest stocks for growth and decline resistance without
regard for the personal and subjective criterium of portfolio
diversification and investor comfort. |

What
are Rational Performance Expectations?
Since May 1999, the TenBestStocks Model Portfolio has significantly
outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500,
the NASDAQ Composite, NYSE Composite, and other major market indices.
For any day, week, month, or quarter, the TenBestStocks Model Portfolio
may, or may not, outperform the those indices; but over the six-month
and out time frame it has done so consistently. The most current
comparative performance data can be found on the TenBestStocks Web
Site.
TenBestStocks is a statistical methodology grounded in substantial
documentation. It does not attempt to find the "needle
in the haystack" but rather to identify a manageable universe
of stocks that have gone through a differentiation process that
positions them in composite as having a significantly greater probability
for growth and decline resistance.
The TenBestStocks' totally objective "engineered process"
that identified stocks producing the exceptional growth during up
market periods is the identical process that identified stocks resisting
decline during down markets periods. There are no market judgments,
analyst opinions, price/earnings projections, fortune telling, or
other subjective inputs to alter the results - they are what they
are.
