Do You Use the Best Data Available?

It might sound like a random piece of advice. But it was actually life-changing, transforming my approach to helping investors... [Stansberry Research Logo] Delivering World-Class Financial Research Since 1999 [DailyWealth] Editor's note: Marc Chaikin has done it all on Wall Street... He started as a broker more than five decades ago. He's worked as an analyst. And he's built quantitative models that the financial elite use to make buy and sell decisions every day. Eventually, Marc decided he was done helping the rich folks on the Street get richer. Instead, through Chaikin Analytics (now our corporate affiliate), he is leveling the playing field for mom-and-pop investors. Today, he's sharing one of the first lessons he learned on Wall Street. And you'll hear more from him in the weeks to come... --------------------------------------------------------------- Do You Use the Best Data Available? By Marc Chaikin, founder, Chaikin Analytics --------------------------------------------------------------- "You're not really going to only rely on the firm's research, are you?" It was 1966. I had just landed a position as a broker. And at the time, I really did think my own firm's research would be plenty for me and my clients. A member of the "old guard" had pulled me aside to tell me different. "Listen, you'll have to learn this on your own. But there's someone I think you should know about..." It might sound like a random piece of advice. But it was actually a life-changing introduction... one that completely transformed my approach to helping investors. Let me explain... --------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Links: ['The biggest prediction of my 50-year career']( A Wall Street living legend is making the biggest prediction of his 50-year career. He has found a new type of company he predicts will soon create a paradigm shift in business that could make you 5 times to 10 times your money. "It'll change the way you eat, shop, work, and more.

[Click here to get all the details](. --------------------------------------------------------------- It started when my colleague introduced me to George Chestnut's financial writing. I'm guessing you haven't heard of Chestnut. But his work was pioneering at the time. He used math to find the strongest industry groups... and the strongest stocks in those groups. That made Chestnut an outsider for sure. Back then, nearly everyone was looking at a smattering of fundamentals. Then, they'd assemble an interesting story around those few bullet points, and that was it. The best storytellers turned out to be talented brokers. That is, they were talented at getting their clients to buy. Great for them... Not so great for their clients. The day of that conversation, I realized my mentor was right. I needed more than just stories. My clients deserved better. Not only that, but to be able to really sell, I knew I'd need to have data to back up my claims. So, I did the most reasonable thing... I signed up for Chestnut's newsletter service. Chestnut's work was my way of accessing the best data available at the time. And I knew that I wanted the best data available on my side. Here's the thing, though. To get the best data, you have to go the extra mile... Chestnut was a bit out there compared to most analysts at the time. The guy spent his time meticulously tracking the major industries trading on Wall Street. He did a lot of it by hand. And he did the rest with early calculators. Those of us who were around back then know what a monumental task this was. You'd have to be a little crazy to even pursue it. I didn't realize where I was headed, back in the '60s... not at first. But once I looked outside my own firm, I started to follow Chestnut's path. My life's work became collecting data, parsing it, and using it to make evidence-based investing decisions. I've been very fortunate and successful at it. Bloomberg built my systems into its world-famous trading terminals. And its main competitor Thomson Reuters did too. I made finding the best data into my life's goal... and just as important, performing the best analysis on it. I've found it deeply rewarding. And I'm passionate about sharing it. That's because the best data gives you an edge as an investor that nothing else can. That lesson is at the foundation of my career. I also saw exactly how important it was firsthand – after the financial crisis in 2008... I saw the little guy get creamed by Wall Street. So my focus shifted yet again. I developed a set of tools for individual investors. They're specifically designed to turn trading and investing into a fair fight, for those who aren't Wall Street elites. Together, this set of tools is called the Power Gauge. And I've poured everything I've learned over my more than 50 years in finance into it. Over the next few days, I'll be posting more essays here. And I'll get into the details of the Power Gauge and how it works. I believe you'll come to agree that it's the best data available to individual investors. I'm looking forward to sharing it with you. Good investing, Marc Chaikin Editor's note: Marc's clients have paid thousands of dollars per month for his system's findings.
