The MAGNET Method of Investing: Find, Trade, and Profit from Exceptional Stocks
"Future top-performing stocks are like needles in a haystack. Find them by turning your portfolio into a magnet for pulling in these hidden gems. The name of the game is isolating these future runaways, focusing your efforts on really getting to know and understand them, and then concentrating your capital on these hidden values at the right time."—From the Foreword by Jeffrey A. HirschEarly on in his career, market strategist Jordan Kimmel realized that an overemphasis on diversification, asset allocation, and the use of modern portfolio theory yielded unacceptably mediocre returns and limited the creation of wealth in a portfolio. With this in mind, he set out to find a better way to invest and ended up creating The Magnet® Stock Selection Process. Now, withThe Magnet® Method of Investing, Kimmel shares his insights into this effective approach with you.The Magnet® Stock Selection Process uses conventional technical and fundamental factors within a theoretically sound framework—and follows a clear set of practical rules—to select a limited number of stocks expected to outperform broad market averages such as the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 indexes. While this strategy challenges the popularly held belief of passively holding a large number of diversified securities, its ability to identify superlative stocks during the early stages of a company's greatest growth phase has allowed investors to capture profits for over two decades.Throughout these pages, Kimmel skillfully discusses his proven strategy—from conception to application—and outlines the entire process of focusing on fewer stocks to gain greater returns in straightforward and accessible terms:ManagementAcceleration of earnings, revenues, and marginsGrowth must exceed current valuationNew product or management may be the driverEmerging industry or product creates great opportunityTiming needs to be rightDrawing on the results of his own research over the past twenty-five years as well as his relationships with other top money managers of this era, Kimmel shows you how The Magnet® Stock Selection Process can put you in a better position to enhance the overall performance of your equity portfolio.The important lessons to be learned from The MAGNET® Stock Selection Process could not be made available at a more opportune time.
