Today, I’ll show you our proprietary Green Zone Power Ratings system and how it can benefit you when buying stocks.
By the end, you’ll see how using it helps you make better-informed decisions and potentially improve your investment results.
What’s a Stock Rating System?
A rating system is a tool used to assess stocks and other investments.
It gives investors essential information on the risk and potential return of a stock or portfolio.
Ratings systems vary in functionality. Some rely on chart patterns to tell you whether a stock is one to buy. Others may assess a company’s price-to-metrics to see if a stock is overvalued (or if it’s flying under the radar).
But they’re all meant to help you do one thing: Buy good assets and avoid bad ones.
Our Green Zone Power Ratings system does this by focusing on six factors.
Three are technical (aka they are related to a stock’s current price and trading activity):
- Momentum— Strongly uptrending stocks earn higher momentum ratings. We prefer to buy stocks that are already trending higher and at a faster rate than the overall market. This approach can increase our odds of success and decrease risk.
- Size— Smaller companies earn higher size ratings. We prefer to buy smaller companies for the extra “juice” that typically comes with them.
- Volatility— Less volatile stocks earn higher volatility ratings. We prefer low-volatility stocks because they’re proven to generate superior risk-adjusted returns over the long run — with less heartburn.
The other three factors are fundamental. These analyze a stock’s financial standing and future prospects:
- Value— Less expensive (aka “cheap”) stocks earn higher value ratings. We prefer to buy great companies at good prices because the price we pay changes how much we get from future returns. Overpaying for a stock is a costly mistake.
- Quality— High-quality companies earn higher quality ratings. We prefer to buy high-quality companies, of course! To determine quality, the model considers a company’s returns, profit margins, cash flows, debt ratios and operational efficiency, among other things.
- Growth— High-growth companies earn higher growth ratings. All things equal, we prefer to buy companies that are growing both revenues and earnings at faster rates than the market and economy.
With the right stock rating system in place, investors can make more informed decisions when trading.
