Quest for the Best: 3 Stocks Put to the Test

Short-term stock traders are faced with a dilemma in the current bull market. There are 1000 potential companies to buy with many looking very enticing due to the recent sharp price increases. The financial news channels are a non stop barrage of stock tips, picks and opinion. Everyone seems to have a favorite stock or two. One needs to depend on more than feelings, opinions and tips when it comes to choosing shares for short term gains.

We have developed a statistically based system for helping you choose stocks most likely to advance over the 1 to 5-day time frame. This system is called Stock PowerRatings. Since 1995, we have tested thousands of stock trades to develop the PowerRatings system. It was discovered that stocks earning a 7 outperformed the average stock at a 2.9 to 1 margin, those with an 8 outperformed by a 5.8 to 1 margin, 9 rated stocks outperformed by a 10.1 to 1 margin and the top ranked 10 stocks crushed the average stock at a 14.7 to 1 margin over the next 5 days. As you can see, using Stock PowerRatings as a stock picking tool clearly places the odds for short term success in your favor.

There are many ways this tool can be used. One way is to look at stocks that have experienced the largest daily increases in PowerRatings. Here are 3 stocks with PowerRatings daily increases to be put to the test:
