VALUE STOCK
BONANZA
 

As the market trended downward, a small, selective investor group snapped up strong stocks at great prices. Their strategy, Zacks' Value Trader 2, became so popular that it is now closed to new members.

 

Dear Zacks.com User,

Since August, 2007, they quietly targeted well-managed companies with stock prices that are significantly undervalued. They followed alerts from the Zacks Value Trader, a private service that has overwhelmed the S&P 500, racking up gain after gain.

Without fanfare, they're poised to take full advantage of a stock market rebound that's inevitable and potentially life-changing. Already, value stock signals are popping like toasters. Just wait until the inevitable rebound hits . . .

History shows that within one year after the market bottoms, the Dow Jones averages a gain of +55.6%. With the right stocks, you can make a fortune.

You can't get in on that particular Zacks service now. But . . . you can learn more about Zacks other services

As David M. from Greensboro, NC reported, "In what has been a very challenging market . . . wealth building is an important personal goal, and Zacks Value Trader is a key contributor in my overall portfolio strategy."

Recently, we were forced to close this strategy to new members because too many other investors caught wind and wanted to share its picks.

Introducing "Zacks Value Trader 2"

Yes, we've created a brand-new, 2nd-generation trading service that builds on the already legendary performance of the original, and we're prepared to send you its picks today. This strategy is backed with a guarantee to beat the market or your money back. (I'll tell you more about that in a moment.)

First, here's what I'd like you to know straight off about Value Trader 2 . . .Chart 1

  • Its strategy is very similar to the first highly successful Value Trader.
     
  • It will also average 12-week holding periods and have up to seven stocks on the board at any given time.
     
  • Value Trader 2 is tailored even more to current market conditions - with added focus on industries that rate highest in upward earnings revisions (as determined by Zacks Rank).

Backtests reveal gains from Value Trader 2 that are as sensational as the original service's.

Eye-popping performance

We thoroughly tested Value Trader 2's new stock-picking strategy to see what it would have uncovered from 2000 through Q2 2008. How would those finds have performed?

The results almost defied belief. While the market compounded a tiny yearly average gain of +0.6%, Value Trader 2 picks achieved a staggering +38.2%.

And yet, this didn't surprise us. You see, the starting point for our new strategy was the one we are using for the original Value Trader, which overwhelms the market month after month. We continue to apply several factors like low p/e and price-to-book ratios that value investors prize.

Next, as with the original strategy, we add the spark of Zacks Rank TIMELINESS to catch undervalued stocks after a positive earnings surprise. So . . .

We only recommend a stock when you most want to get aboard
- just as the market finally begins to recognize its real worth.

There's something else. One reason the new strategy performed so well is that we knew in advance how the market performed.

Our goal was, frankly, to create a service that provides exceptional gains and clobbers the S&P 500. So we shaped the strategy and checked how its picks would have performed during various historical conditions. Then we tweaked it. Again and again. We improved it dozens of times. Scores of times. We didn't stop until it trumped the market just as decisively as the original Value Trader had done - but with different stocks.Chart 2

Powers through a down market

Finally, during the recent crashes, we paid extra attention to the last bear market from 2000-2002 when the S&P 500 compounded an average yearly loss of -14.7%. Ultimately, we honed a strategy for Value Trader 2 that averaged not a loss during that dire period but an astounding yearly gain of +41.3%.

3 TIMES smoother ride than the S&P 500

Usually, when investors reach for bigger gains they take bigger risks. One of the best things about this strategy is that it combines value criteria with Zacks Rank to achieve a much shallower drawdown in stock prices, about a third less downside risk than the S&P 500.

Now, of course, risk is involved and past testing doesn't assure future performance. But wouldn't you rather have the test numbers working to your advantage? During the test period that spanned 8-1/2 years, the market averaged a yearly gain of only +0.6% and was in plus territory 57% of the time, while Value Trader 2 picks averaged a +38.2% gain and was in plus territory 75% of the time.
