I read a book recommending 100 stocks. Their recommendations do not beat the S&P500 index and they have sold over 250,000 copies so far. Why the readers just buy an ETF that stimulates the market? This inspires me to continue my series.I looked at the recommended 100 stocks from these authors and I could rule out many stocks right away with simple evaluation. This could be the reason for low performance. If you have their book, you can buy my book to narrow the selection to 16. It turns out only 14 are both recommended by me and them and hence I have rejected 86 of the stocks they recommended. It would save you time and hopefully the performance would be better; the performance would be updated in the future to prove my point.I am trying to improve the performance of my recommendation by: -Limit my selection to 16 stocks. Too many stocks would harm the performance, waste your time and/or waste commissions. -By the time you read this book, the information about the recommended stocks would be outdated. I provide a simple evaluation procedure to reevaluate the stocks.-Use stop loss orders to protect losses.-When the market is crashing, most if not all stocks would tank. I provide a simple method to detect market crashes to reduce further losses.The stock selection is quite similar to my last book. I select stocks according to the current market conditions which is risky to me. This time most stocks selected are large market cap and I stress on value. Most rocket stocks and stocks that could be affected seriously by the trade war are avoided. In addition, a simple market timing technique is included to tell you when to exit the market and then when to return to the market. It is a bargain if it can make money for you. For my first book, Best Books for 2014, it has been a great bargain. However, there is no guarantee for future performances. This list helps you to narrow down the search of stocks for your further evaluation. This book consists of many choices from experts and I delete those I do not expect to perform. I also add many of the stocks with my own research.I do not list charts and current metrics of all recommended stocks as in most other similar books do. First it would cut down many trees unless it is in digitized format. Finviz.com would give the same and updated information and many articles from free web sites such as Seeking Alpha would give you additional analyzes. Secondly, all the information will be obsolete by the time you read this book that is based on 05/22/2019 and 05/23/2019. Instead, I include the instructions on how to re-evaluate the recommended stocks fundamentally and technically in Section III. The performance of my book "Best Stocks 2014 According to Me" was published in Dec. 16, 2013. The annualized return from Dec. 16, 2013 to March, 16, 2014, 3 months away is 23% beating SPY by 44%. When the market is risky (Chapter 22), do not buy any stocks. Buy the recommended list of stocks when the market is less risky after another evaluation. This chapter demonstrates how to use a simple technique to locate the exit/reentry points.The stocks are selected from my proven screens and many other sources that have been proven recently. The procedures are proprietary. I choose the screens that have provided good performances recently. It works so far but there is no guarantee that it will work in the future.I have conducted exhaustive simulations to back-test these strategies over the past 12 years. Recently, I have been creating many new strategies to adapt to the current market conditions and challenges we now face as retail investors. It is my passion to find the best ways to profit from the stock market at the least risk by using market timing and stock evaluation. I enjoy sharing my passion with others, which is why I have written this book.Initial Date: 05/25/2019.Size: 175 pages (6*9)
