Why you should focus on stocks with PowerRatings 7 or higher
In the
TradingMarkets PowerRatings Strategy Guide, Strategy 1 says “Focus on stocks
rated 7 or higher.”
From 1995-2005, stocks rated 7 have outperformed the S&P 500 by a better than
4-1 margin over a five-day period. Stocks rated 8 have outperformed the S&P 500
by a better than 8-1 margin; stocks rated 9 have outperformed the S&P 500 by a
13-1 margin, and those stocks that have achieved a 10 PowerRating have
outperformed the S&P 500 by a 16.9-1 margin.
Those numbers show that if you are looking to outperform the market, focusing on
stocks with a PowerRating 7 or higher is a good place to start. Every day you
can find numerous examples of stocks with high PowerRatings outperforming the
S&P 500.
