My 5-Second Solution to Beat the Market 3-to-1

It's easy to succumb to information overload… Published By Money & Markets, LLC. March 12, 2024 Published By Money & Markets, LLC. March 12, 2024 [Turn Your Images On] [Turn Your Images On] From The Desk of [Adam O'Dell]( Editor, [Money & Markets Daily]( My 5-Second Solution to Beat the Market 3-to-1 Money & Markets Daily, In my trade, it’s practically a death sentence. An affliction that creeps up insidiously… Then — before you even realize what’s happening — it’s poisoned everything you’re doing. You’ve probably heard of it too. It’s called “analysis paralysis,” and it can be a nightmare for traders and investors. After all, there are more than 6,000 tradable securities on the market. And there are more options, bonds, cryptocurrencies and niche investments than I could list out here. We have so many opportunities to choose from these days, and as a result, it’s easy to get stuck in a loop of endless research and inaction. Unfortunately, technology is only making this situation worse. According to a recent study from Pew Research, the average American spends seven hours per day staring at screens. Seven hours! That’s nearly half our waking lives. We’re taking in massive quantities of data, too. Another study from USC Annenberg found that our minds are processing the equivalent of 174 newspapers worth of information every day. That’s FIVE TIMES the amount of daily information you took in back in 1986. Kind of like drinking from a fire hose! Most of us don’t realize how detrimental this kind of overexposure can be. But it’s something I’m acutely aware of… I’ve spent my entire career focusing on what’s called “factor investing,” developing specialized investing systems based on extensive research and analysis. It’s the kind of investing that requires me to absorb as much information as possible — while still processing all that data into a profitable, repeatable strategy. We always have the temptation to soak up more data, to consider more opportunities. But at the end of the day, it’s critical to stay focused on what really matters in investing: the profits. Here’s how I do that… --------------------------------------------------------------- [Turn Your Images On]( From our Partners at Banyan Hill Publishing. [2 Billionaires Could Soon Rule AI]( A little-known AI firm was founded by two of Silicon Valley's most secretive billionaires. They spent four years covertly bankrolling their project. Now, their firm could soar 2,500% in the coming years and 5,000% within a decade, as it dominates the $22.1 trillion artificial intelligence industry.

That means I don’t fret over external factors like this year’s upcoming presidential election, whether bitcoin is trending or which blockbuster is top at the box office. Instead, I focus on just six key factors: - Momentum. - Size. - Volatility. - Value. - Quality. - Growth. That’s it. I explained each of these factors at length in an interview with my managing editor, Chad Stone, which [you can find here](. These six factors reflect both the technical and fundamental aspects of a company, giving us a “no-BS” snapshot of a stock’s overall health and prospects at any given moment. My [Green Zone Power Ratings]( system then assigns a numerical score for each of these factors (from 0 to 100). The resulting scores are then averaged together to give each stock a single Green Zone Power Rating. The resulting rating falls into one of five categories: - Strong Bullish (81-100). - Bullish (61-80). - Neutral (41-60). - Bearish (21-40). - High-Risk (0-20). We’ve also included an “action to take” with each stock depending on where it lands on the spectrum. To learn more about these rankings and what each action means, check out the table below: [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( I know, I said my approach was “simple”… And here I am, breaking out the spreadsheets! I’m a bit of a geek for data and systems, so I hope you’ll bear with me. Because the end result is my Green Zone Power Ratingssystem — available to use for free at our [Money & Markets]( website. Just click on the magnifying glass in the corner of your screen and type in a stock’s ticker to see its rating, and you’ll shortcut hours of investment research. For example, here’s what Tesla Inc.’s (Nasdaq: TSLA) rating looks like right now: [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( The EV automaker rates well on Quality and Growth, because it brings in revenue and has a healthy balance sheet. Meanwhile, its stratospheric price-to-earnings ratio is reflected in its low Value rating… Its massive, half-trillion-dollar market cap scores it a zero on Size. Due to these factors, it rates at just 25 out of 100 and falls into the "Bearish" subset. As you can see from the color scheme, the system gives you an even simpler “green light”/ “red light” indicator to show whether a stock is worth investing in or not. You might believe Tesla is a great business. It might have a bright future. It might defy all odds and outperform over the next 12 months. But based on its Green Zone Power Rating, now is probably not a good time to buy shares. Finding out why only took us about five seconds. We didn’t have to parse through dozens of media puff pieces, listen to Elon Musk’s countless interviews or (heaven forbid) suffer through his appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast. Most importantly, this same “simplified” approach works with every stock out there… --------------------------------------------------------------- [Turn Your Images On]( [“Infinite Energy”: New AI Tech Unleashes Largest Untapped Energy Source on Earth]( A tiny Silicon Valley company is using artificial intelligence to unleash the largest untapped energy source in the world. I’m not talking about oil, gas, wind, solar, hydro, nuclear … or anything you’ve likely heard about before… Yet this breakthrough is set to help launch an era of cheap, abundant electricity the likes of which the world has never seen. In fact, the growth here could be almost unimaginable.

They’ll hold onto crashing cryptocurrencies with “diamond hands” because they believe in sticking it to the "man." Or they’ll dive into a risky trade, promising themselves the fundamentals have somehow changed. But when it comes to success in investing, consistency is crucial. It’s vital to find a system that works well and stick to your guns — repeating success over and over, year in and year out. Based on an extensive study going back to 2001, my team found that using Green Zone Power Ratingsto guide your investing would help you beat the market 3-to-1. If you stick with the highest-rated stocks exclusively, then you’re beating the market 15-to-1!

However, data shows we’re not there yet. Below is the Global Supply Chain Pressure Index (GSCPI). The Federal Reserve created this tool after inflation soared in 2020 to spot potential problems in the supply chain before they affect consumers. The index has been on a downtrend since peaking in December 2021. Negative values in the data show deflationary pressures bottomed last May. Since November, the index has been oscillating near zero. The February reading (+0.10) indicates that the battle against inflation isn't over. This is a data point the Fed will be watching and worrying about. If inflation resurges, investors need to consider protective positions. One possibility to consider would be put options on index exchange-traded funds like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY). — Mike Carr, Chief Market Technician, Money & Markets [Turn Your Images On] [(Click here to view larger image.)]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Check Out More From Money & Markets Daily: - [WE CAN BEAT THIS BULLISH MOMENTUM ETF]( - [INVEST IN THE FINAL FRONTIER? 1 SPACE STOCK TO WATCH, 1 TO AVOID]( - [THE TRUTH ABOUT INVESTING IN ELECTION YEARS]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Turn Your Images On]( Privacy Policy The Money & Markets, P.O.
