How to Buy the Right Stocks
If you had a sports team filled with really good players, it would be a lot easier to manage that team AND the players alone would help you win games.
But what’s the right stock?
Many times, you buy a stock thinking it’s good, but it still drops after you buy it.
Common Mistakes
Problem #1
Buy Stocks Going Down
Problem #2
Buy Just for the Dividend
Problem #3
Buy Just for the Company Name
Household names go through rough stretches too. Just because a company is well-known doesn’t mean it is the right stock for you to own right now.
The market buries you with data causing analysis paralysis. You waste hours of your life and you’re still unsure whether you bought a good stock.
You turn to newsletters and gurus for hot stock picks. These picks typically serve their interests more than yours.
We’ve identified three common problems, causing you to lose money.
Right Stocks to Buy
You need to have, and use, the right buying criteria.
Having the right buying criteria will put the odds of success in your favor.
Here’s what you need to do:
The Real Problem
No Buying Criteria
The root cause of all these problems is you have NO BUYING CRITERIA.
When you don't have specific buying criteria, you're always left saying to yourself…
"What should I look for?"
If you don't know what to look for, the market will buy you with data to look at!
Then, after spending hours of your life, you're still left wondering…
"Did I pick the right one?"
You end up holding onto bad trades too long because you say thing like:
"I can't be wrong."
"I picked a good stock."
It'll come back."
How Successful Investors Do It
Successful Investors buy Safe, Undervalued Stocks, Rising in Price and watch their portfolio steadily grow over time.
Here at VectorVest, we have developed a proprietary rating system to evaluate a stock.
We call it VST. It factors in a stock’s Value, Safety and Timing all in one indicator.
Our analysis is based on data and mathematics.
VectorVest can help you find these stocks better than anything else out there, giving you an advantage in the stock market.
Ross H used to spend a lot of money on newsletters and reading financial statements. He said it was haphazard and time-consuming.
After learning these Successful Investor techniques, he said:
“I created a diversified portfolio with safety and growing earnings that were rising in price. Six months later, my portfolio is up over 33% and I have done very little trading which is a big change for me. I now spend 15-30 minutes a night which is much less time than I used to spend, and I own much higher quality stocks.
I am far more confident and relaxed. Investing has become much more fun and far less complicated.”
Anytime you’re ready, you can start a 30-day trial of our software just like Ross did.
