Profit from the Pros

Do You Remember the 2013 Bull Market?

+32.9% was the gain for the S&P in 2013.

Do you remember how easy it was back then? When every stock you bought soared higher and you felt like you had the Midas Touch.

Of course you remember...now do your best forget it!

Young bull markets have the benefit of super low valuations coupled with surging corporate profits. That is a powerful elixir that pushes a market higher and higher. But once you reach fair value, like we have now, then the market should only rise by the rate of corporate earnings growth.

Sure 5-10% annual gains may seem like a snail's pace. But when you check out your lame options in money market funds or bonds, then it's best to stay with the better returns from the stock market.

If you want to increase your odds of success, then use our time-tested stock ratings. Not just the Zacks Rank, but also the Style Scores and Industry Rank. Layer one on top of the other to bolster your expected rate of return.

As you know each of these ratings are available for free on our quote pages every day. Even better, set up a free portfolio tracker so you can get a daily update of our ratings. This is the best way to get timely sell signals before it's too late.
