Stock Picking Mastery: An Exciting New Tool for Smarter Investing

I don’t know about you, but as someone heavily involved in stock analysis on a regular basis, I often feel like there must be a better way to approach the markets. Just imagine how much time you could save if, instead of poring over the details of each individual stock out there, you had a tool that could do so for you. Well, that’s exactly what we’ve aimed to create with Auspex, our latest stock picking system.

You may already be familiar. Indeed, over the past few days, we’ve offered glimpses into this tool’s inner workings. 

In short, Auspex leverages fundamental, technical, and sentimental data to help us find the stocks with the strongest possible setup. That way, we have the opportunity to get into the most promising stocks at the best time – before they go on to rise. 

We’ve spent the past several months developing, testing, even using Auspex to help us home in on such up-and-coming market winners. And today, we finally revealed this new system for the very first time. 

But… before you check out the replay of that exciting broadcast… I would like to finish explaining just how this innovative model helps uncover the market’s future top performers.

That is, in yesterday’s issue, we discussed how Auspex uses a series of fundamental factors to narrow down a universe of ~14,000 potential picks to uncover just those that meet our very strict criteria.

And today, I want to explain how Auspex takes those fundamentally strong stocks and whittles the list down even further, ultimately landing on the best picks the market has to offer

Using Fundamentals, Technicals and Sentiment to Reveal Top Stocks

As we’ve mentioned previously, when we have Auspex scan the markets, it analyzes a universe of roughly 14,000 stocks. And in our scan from early December, only about 300 of those 14,000 stocks were deemed fundamentally strong, with accelerating sales and earnings growth and swelling profit margins.

But we don’t stop there. After receiving those results, we incorporate additional technical and sentimental parameters to continue paring down that list. And ultimately, only a few stocks make the final cut. For example, out of 14,000 possible stocks, Auspex identified just 10 picks for the month of December.

OK… so, how does this system deem which stocks are worthy investments?

Well, when it comes to technicals, we’re essentially looking for stocks with strong upward price momentum.

We want to see the 200-day moving average (MA) sloping higher, indicating that the stock’s primary long-term price trend is positive. We also want to see the 50-day MA trading above the 100-day, as well as the 100-day trading above the 200-day MA. That indicates that short- and medium-term price momentum are both growing stronger. 

Additionally, positive action on the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) line – with the MACD above the signal line – is also ideal. It’s another indication of strengthening price momentum. And, lastly, we want to make sure the stock isn’t “too hot” or overbought. That’s why we look for stocks where the relative strength index (RSI) measures less than 70. 

Now, on the sentimental side of things, we hope to find stocks that analysts are getting more bullish on and that have investors flocking to get positioned in. Specifically, we want to see earnings estimates moving higher and trading volume on the rise. 

Then we layer these technical and sentimental filters on top of the fundamental filters we’ve discussed to find the stocks that are strong in every way.
