StockPickReport Commentary
"Questions Answered Part 2"
Got some great questions from a member today. Like yesterday's questions, these are some that we think deserve a wider audience. So, here is the answer to one question. We will get to the others over the next few days. PLEASE keep the questions coming! QUESTION: "I'm not really sure how to use your service. Is there some instructional text that will help me understand what's what?"
ANSWER: To use StockPickReport you should know a bit about what we are NOT: We do not receive payment in any form to profile stocks. This means that the stocks we rate as either "buys" or "sells" are based on companies we research. We have no ties to any "mainstream wallstreet" firm. No companies to "kiss up to" and no "old boy" broker relationships to further. We make our money the only way we feel is right. We do our best research and then alert you on stocks we think will either go up or down.
Some of you have been with us for over 5 years and you know that we are not perfect, but we are honest, and do a good job at finding stocks that beat wallstreet over the long term. Today we look at the "Strong Buy Daily" service. Over the weekend (for Monday), we will give you a good "primer" on how to use your StockPickReport software (linked from your members only site). You will NOT want to miss the discussion on your StockPickReport software. Thursday's Daytrade pick was STRAIGHT out of the software (UPFC). And UPFC beat the markets ALL DAY LONG!
The "Strong Buy Daily" service is a daily list of stocks we believe will either A) outperform to the upside, or B) outperform to the downside. If a stock is listed as "strong buy", we think it will have a better chance to move up than down, AND that it will outperform the market around. The opposite is true for a "strong sell". If you own a stock on this list, and you are leaning one way or another as to whether you should buy more or sell some, this list is a guide to help you with that. If you want a list of stock ideas to start your day or week, and you like to do more research on your own, this list is good for that, too. If you want a gauge to see what the market looks like as a whole, we find that the direction the list is tilted toward is a good indicator.
In other words, if there are 40 stocks on the list and only 5 are strong buys but 35 are strong sells, that indicates to us the market "as a whole" is looking weak. In summary, the "Strong Buy Daily" service is a tool to instill stock ideas for going "long" or "short" on a wide variety of stocks. The stocks on the list will have to meet minimum "average volume" requirements of 250,000 shares a day, so the stocks should be liquid enough to trade in and out of.
