Highlights:
- Most small cap strategies owe their superior returns to microcap stocks with market caps below $25 Million. These stocks are too small for virtually any investor to buy.
- Buying stocks with low P/E is most profitable when you stick to larger, better-known issues.
- Price-to-sales ratio is the best value ratio to use for buying, market-beating stocks.
- Last year’s biggest losers are the worst stocks you can buy.
- Last year’s earning gains alone are worthless when determining if a stock is a good investment.
- Using several factors dramatically improves long-term performance.
- You can do four times as well as the S & P 500 by concentrating on large, well-known stocks with high dividend yields.
- Relative strength is the only growth variable that consistently beats the market.
- Buying Wall Street’s current darlings with the highest price-to-earnings ratios is one of the worst things you can do.
- A strategy’s risk is one of the most important elements to consider.
- Uniting growth and value strategies is the best way to improve your investment performance.
