Fellow Investor,
These are hot-blooded, heady times for growth investors.
Our expert stock screener and strategy developer, Kevin Matras believes that today offers the best opportunity to get into growth stocks since the bear market began in October, 2007.
For starters, positive earnings surprises have been gaining momentum in each of the last 3 reported quarters.
But that's not what has us so excited. Many companies show better earnings simply by reorganizing and cutting costs.
| The real story is that for the first time in 4 quarters, more companies are reporting positive SALES surprises. Since the last quarter, there has been a 30.4% increase in that critical indicator. |
Here's the juiciest part of that story: Although it's an open secret, almost nobody has noticed it.
This quiet, limited, but very real sales boom has created a great opportunity to get aboard certain hand-picked growth companies.
Kevin Matras created, tweaked, and refined a strategy to find them. These are the ones that are already growing and yet are still undervalued. His strategy is the engine for the Zacks Growth Trader, which distills a dynamic, changing list of 3 to 7 aggressive growth picks poised to boom in price.
Conditions were ripe for the big returns we've seen in these stocks recently.
The decline in the market had created a favorable climate for such undervalued growth stocks – above-average companies with increasing earnings that are underpriced.
As a result, the Growth Trader has generated numerous double-digit gains.
A powerful strategy designed for both bear and bull markets
More than a year ago, in view of the recession, our management and research team at Zacks talked about what would be the next great trading service. Almost immediately, we focused on growth stocks partly because they offer the potential to multiply investment dollars.
So we began our quest with a question: What if we could pinpoint aggressive growth stocks that were undervalued at the same time?
Then came an even more provocative idea: What if we took the proven Zacks Rank system which monitors earnings estimates, and used it to pinpoint growth stocks that haven't quite begun their stock price spurts?
Combine the potential of growth stocks with the timely predictive power of Zacks Rank and you'd have a system that was pure gold. No matter whether the market is down or up.
So we backed Kevin Matras with all the resources of America's leading independent investment research firm.
He patiently combined four stock-picking systems into one strategy, then tweaked and transformed it.
Then he tested and re-tested to see what stocks it would have picked, and how those picks would have performed during different market conditions.
Would the new strategy beat the big S&P 500 gains of bullish years? Would it stand up to volatile markets with roller coaster ups and downs?
Would it have prevailed during the bear market of 2000-2002?
The results were eye-popping.
When the dotcom bubble burst and the economy was bearish from 2000-2002, these picks would have actually exploded in price. During that period, the market plunged to an average loss of -14.9% per year. But these particular stocks averaged a gain of +68.8% per year.
Here's another way to look at it. The market's total compounded return from 2000-2002 was a significant loss,
-37.8%. But the picks from Kevin's strategy compounded to a soaring three-year gain of +375.5%.
Soaring gains in bull markets, too.
Tests have shown that the strategy detects stocks just before they burst into full bloom, then takes them off the board in time to reap the harvest.
Of course, all the stocks weren't big gainers; some didn't gain at all. But after probing more than seven years of test data, through bull and bear markets, a stunning statistic emerged.
During the test period, the S&P 500 lost an average of -.03% per year. Yet, this strategy's picks averaged a compounded yearly gain of +57.2%.
How has the Growth Trader done during this current "white-knuckle" year?
During 2009, as of September 30, Growth Trader stocks have moved overall into double digits and continue to generate fast, powerful gains like these . . .
+44.3% in 37 days on Orion Marine (ORN)
+32.3% in 24 days on Enersys (ENS)
+13.7% in 12 days on Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD)
+10.8% in 17 days on Aeropostale (ARO)
+18.6% in 21 days on Navios Marit (NMM)
+28.6% in 19 days on Wonder Auto (WATG)
+12.4% in 14 days on American Oriental (AOB)
+10.4% in 14 days on Pantry (PTRY)
+13.1% in 10 days on Chemed (CHE)
+10.3% in 8 days on DXP Enterprises (DXPE)
| A Quick Q&A with Zacks Stock-Screening Expert, Kevin Matras |
 |
| Q. |
Where do you see the market heading? |
| A. |
I'm an optimist and history backs me up. We're coming out of the downturn and there are plenty of strong growth stock opportunities if you know where to look. |
| |
| Q. |
Why are you attracted to growth stocks now? |
| A. |
Presently, fewer companies are growing fast, so fewer are competing for investors' attention. If you can find the even rarer ones that are just beginning to surge, I believe their stock price gains will be accelerated in this investment climate. |
| |
| Q. |
How did you come up with the Zacks Growth Trader's strategy? |
| A. |
Over the past eight years, we've developed more than 30 successful stock strategies based on changes to company earnings estimates as expressed through Zacks Rank. Recently, we set the goal of finding stocks with very exciting, powerful growth rates that are still undervalued by Wall Street. To accomplish this, we blended four strategies, screening for discount valuations, high growth within certain industries, and other fundamental indicators. Then we tested stock-picking performance through bear and volatile markets as well as through bulls. |

2 Explosive Factors Behind the Growth Trader Strategy
It searches for companies that are experiencing dynamic growth. Then it zeroes in on a key valuation ratio to find stocks that are priced much lower than you'd expect from fast-growing firms.
In addition, many other factors are involved, but 2 are especially worth noting:

The Simplest
and Best Way to
Take Advantage of
Spurting Growth Stocks
- Start with Zacks #1 Rank "Strong Buy" Stocks with earnings estimates booming upward.
- High Growth already underway – better than other stocks in their industries.
- Great Values – Wall Street hasn't fully recognized the stocks' power just yet.
- Focus on just 3-7 recommendations at any given time.
- Hold for an average of 4-12 weeks. No "Day Trading" frenzy.
- Check daily email alerts with buy-hold-sell recommendations and commentary.
|
|
- The companies are fast growers PLUS . . . they're "best of breed," growing faster than others in their industry. That's an important distinction. The strategy isn't limited to a few red-hot sectors – it can find diamonds among the coal in a variety of places.
- It starts with Zacks #1 Rank "Strong Buy" stocks. This means earnings estimates for each Growth Trader pick have recently swung upward. Sharply.
In other words, our strategy harnesses the most powerful force that impacts stock prices. As you probably know, Zacks #1 Rank stocks are likely to beat the market in the next 30 to 90 days.
What do I mean by "likely"? They didn't just edge out the market (although that in itself would have been worth bragging about from the rooftops). They TRIPLED the S&P 500.
There are 220 of these Zacks #1 Rank picks at any given time, and they average annual gains of +27%.
Now what's the force that makes stock prices move the most? Revisions to companies' estimated earnings.
We constantly comb through such estimates from 3,000 analysts at 150 brokerage firms. Zacks #1 Rank stocks are the ones with earnings estimates that have been revised upward most decisively.
Relatively few companies are growing. Fewer still will continue to grow even faster. You're invited to get aboard today.
This is a perfect time to take full advantage of those special stocks.
Two powerful guarantees.
I'm delighted to invite you to join the Zacks Growth Trader and want to remove anything that would discourage you from getting aboard and seeing the picks right now.
