Navellier Growth: your source for market-beating growth stocks

“My Life-Long Dream Come True” By Louis Navellier

It’s always been a life-long dream of mine to write a book for individual investors. And when the folks at John Wiley & Sons asked me to write a book for their acclaimed Little Book, Big Profits series, I was thrilled!

I named my book The Little Book That Makes You Rich: A Proven Market-Beating Formula for Growth Investing. And it’s garnered some terrific reviews from the NY Times, the Financial Times—even BusinessWeek included a 2-page spread about it!

What’s all the fuss about?

Inside this Little Book, for the first time, I’ve described in complete detail my strategy that’s been able to beat the market year after year for over 20 years. Best of all, I’ve made the book as fun and easy-to-use as possible. I promise there are no equations or or weird Wall Street jargon. Just a powerful, proven formula to help you find today’s market-beating growth stocks.

“Can your book make me richer than Jim Cramer’s book—or frankly any of the other financial books out there?” That was the question Gregg Greenberg on Street.com TV asked me point-blank at the start of our interview about the book. It’s a fair question given the title of the book, and it’s likely a question you may yourself be asking. So let me say this, the strategy to riches I reveal in this book, is the strategy that’s gotten me where I am today.

First and foremost, let me make it clear, I wasn’t born into money. I worked hard, studied the market and while I was conducting a research project in college, I discovered a market-beating formula that forever changed my life. You see, this formula is the reason I am here today—writing four investing newsletters and running a $5 billion money-management company. So I know it works. And I’d like to share it with you.

Ever since I discovered this strategy, I’ve been passionate about sharing it with individual investors. I want to help you level the playing field a bit and show you it IS possible to beat Wall Street without a big firm backing you. And so, in writing this book, a lifelong dream of mine has come true.

Of course, my dream won’t come entirely true until you’re able to pick up a copy and benefit from the lessons inside. So let me share a bit more about its contents with you.

From the title of this book, you may have guessed the book is literally a compact “little black book” size, at just 185 pages. But make no mistake; it’s packed with a bounty of powerful tools and insights that will have you making smarter, more successful stock-picking decisions.

Here’s a sneak peek at just a few of the topics I can’t wait to share with you in the pages of this Little Book:

How to invest in A-Grade growth stocks

While there are over 5,000 stocks on Wall Street, only about 3% are what I call A-Grade stocks. A-Grade stocks are the crème de la crème of all stocks—those that will deliver maximum returns in the current market. Investing in these types of stocks will undoubtedly give you a market-beating edge. In fact, if you had been investing in only A-Grade stocks since 1998, you’d have outpaced the S&P 10-to-1!

To find A-Grade stocks I recommend examining eight specific fundamental characteristics of any company—positive earnings revisions, positive earnings surprises, increasing sales growth, expanding operating margins, strong cash flow, earnings growth, positive earnings revisions and high return on equity. Inside this Little Book, I’ll share with you this full eight-point checklist and show you how to use it to find top stocks—almost instantly.

Why it doesn’t pay to get emotional

If you’ve ever seen the movie, A League of Their Own, Tom Hanks has a great line, “There’s no crying in baseball!” I often think of that line when I explain to investors that emotion has no place in investing. One of the worst things you can do is to become too attached to your stocks.

Get too attached to a bad stock and you’ll ride it into the ground as you watch your profits melt away. Get too attached to a good stock and you can get too greedy and become over-weighted putting all of your eggs in one basket.

You have to have the discipline to know when to sell your stocks. That’s why I’m a numbers guy and recommend my disciplined “let the numbers make the decision” strategy to investors. You absolutely MUST stay close to A-Grade stocks, while steering clear of F-Grade stocks (no matter how much you may love them)—no ifs, ands or buts. It’s essential to maintaining portfolio growth.

Use a Zig-Zag approach to assemble your portfolio

Remember the tech crash of 2000? Anyone with all their money in tech stocks got crushed. To avoid this, and more importantly, to keep your portfolio making money, no matter what happens on Wall Street, you absolutely must diversify.

There are plenty of A-Grade stocks across various industries, various market-caps and in various countries, so there’s simply no excuse for not following a Zig-Zag approach.

What do I mean by Zig-Zag? Well, when one sector zigs, another may zag. You want a portfolio that contains stocks that will balance each other. Should one sector slow, the other will accelerate, thus balancing your portfolio and keeping it full steam ahead.

The market isn’t going to become any more predictable. Maintain a Zig-Zag approach when you invest and you’ll stay ahead of Wall Street.

Your tool for sticking to a market-beating strategy

Perhaps what’s been causing the most buzz surrounding this book is the online stock-rating database I’m giving to readers, absolutely free. That’s right. In the pages of this Little Book, I walk you through my proven formula for targeting market-beating stocks. Then I go one step further and arm you with an online database that allows you to apply my formula to any stock on Wall Street with a click of a button—giving you instant buy, sell or hold recommendations.

Let me tell you, this has many Wall Street folks scratching their heads, wondering why in the world I would do such a thing. Funny enough, I take the opposite stance, “Why shouldn’t I!”

Discover the power of growth investing

My purpose in writing this Little Book is to help empower individual investors, like you—to give you the tools to achieve your financial dreams, just as I’ve achieved mine.

Investors who have read the book have been sending me countless emails explaining how this Little Book has opened their eyes to the market-beating power of growth stocks.

I hope you’ll buy the book and begin your own journey to becoming a market-beating growth stock investor.
