To say there are a few hills near my house in Reno is a bit of an understatement. Located along the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, there are a few stretches of roads that challenge even the most reliable transmission. But that doesn't deter some of my overly athletic neighbors from putting on spandex and struggling up the steep grades on their expensive bikes.
A lot of stocks are performing like those cyclists right now, struggling against the drag of the financial sector and growing at a snail's pace. But what if I told you there are some stocks out there that are racing up the mountain at top speed? It's true, and you can only find those stocks on my Quantum Growth Buy List.
Plain and simple, my goal with Quantum is to make you as much money as quickly as possible, and I do that with high "alpha" stocks. In mathematical terms, alpha calculates how much of a stock's return is independent and uncorrelated to the stock market.
The more independently a stock moves in relation to the market, the higher the alpha and the more likely that stock will outperform the stock market. So not only are our Quantum stocks racing ahead, they're actually racing away from other stocks in the market. Think of it this way: As the saying goes, if I ask you to jump, you're supposed to ask "how high?" Alpha indicates how high a stock could go.
Alpha is part of the quantitative formula I've developed to hand-pick stocks that are most likely to beat the market. The alphas I calculate and identify are really based on buying pressure. When money flows into a stock, the alpha emerges and volatility often goes down. To me, risk isn't the angle of a stock's ascent; it's the dispersion, or how much it wiggles.
Essentially, when the wiggling increases, my system catches it. It's then reflected in the stock's quantitative grade in my stock-rating system PortfolioGrader Pro. PortfolioGrader Pro also illustrates the other fundamental factors I analyze to select only the best Quantum stocks for you.
Again, of the thousands of stocks on the market, my analysts key in the top one-half of 1%–only the best-of-the-best. I have the single-most exclusive stock list on Wall Street. Only one stock in 300 is even considered, so our Quantum stocks are spectacular and quite special. The fundamentals are:
- A stock must be in the top 20% in sales growth, profit-margin expansion, earnings stability, earnings momentum acceleration, return on equity, cash flow, analysts' revisions and earnings surprises.
- The stock must have relentless institutional buying pressure to rank well quantitatively.
By adhering to this strict criteria, Quantum investors have seen big winners, such as Amrep (AXR), up 70% in 11 weeks, Terra Nitrogen (TRA), up 62% in 10 weeks, Perini (PCR), up 56% in 15 weeks, and Sigma Designs (SIGM) up 50% in 12 weeks. But the really good news is that there's more to come!
