Uncover Market-Beating Stocks the Navellier Way, Now on TradeSmith

As part of our never-ending quest to improve the depth and breadth of data, indicators, and analysis tools available for you, we’ve just added a fantastic new feature to our TradeSmith Finance platform.

You may have already noticed that in just the last few weeks we’ve added key indicators for Louis Navellier’s proven Universal Stock Grading System.

Louis is a Senior Analyst at TradeSmith’s corporate partner, InvestorPlace – and a living legend in this business with decades of experience in stock research, quantitative analysis, and professional money management.

Back in the late 1980s, when I was just a newbie in the investment business, I made it a point to read Louis’s research cover to cover. In the years since, his grading system has become renowned in the industry — and he’s used the quant power of his stock grader system to forecast some of the biggest stock market winners of the past 40 years.

Here’s how Louis describes the core of his stock grader formula:

“When it comes to finding market-beating stocks on Wall Street, there are two critical characteristics at the center of my ticker analysis.”

1. Strong fundamentals: By fundamentals, I’m talking about sales and the like. Healthy, thriving companies that show growth in these areas, and the three types of growth I look for are:

   ✓ Sales Growth: I like a company with consistent sales growth. Why? Because it’s one number that is hard to fake.
   
   ✓ Operating Margin Growth: This simply tells me if earnings are growing faster than sales. Companies that expand their operating margins usually hold dominant positions in their industries.
   
   ✓ Earnings Growth: This is at the heart of all good financial analysis, and I rely on it.

2. Strong buying pressure: Think of this as ‘following the money.’ The more money that floods into a stock, the more momentum it has to rise.

Now, TradeSmith Finance users who subscribe to Louis’s research service can access his powerful stock grading system.

Our programming team even created a dedicated Louis Navellier Stock Grader widget which you can find on the main TradeSmith Dashboard.

Plus, we’ve added filters for Louis’s most important stock grades to our TradeSmith Screener, allowing you to search for stocks that score highly from his system.

Here’s how it works...

Your New Stock Grader

First, to access Louis’s Stock Grader widget, go to the TradeSmith Dashboard and scroll down. You’ll see it just below the Seasonality widget. Here’s a screenshot example:

The Stock Grader widget contains a range of tools allowing you to search any stock. Here’s how to make the most of it:

• Search for a Ticker on the left to look up any stock. You’ll see its one-year price performance compared to the S&P 500 index.

• View Grades on the right where you’ll see the stock’s total grade, plus its quantitative and fundamental scores.

• Sort and Filter the list by any one of five criteria, as shown in the screen shot below.

Please Note: To access the Stock Grader widget, you must have a subscription to Louis’s research services. So, if you don’t see it but would like to — simply contact our dedicated Customer Care team at 866-220-1107 to find out how.

We’ve also added the “Total Grade” column header to the Screener Tool Position View. To add this view, click on the white edit pencil icon in the top right of your active view. Then, enable it from the “Other” section, as shown below:

If you hold any positions in your current portfolio that have a Stock Grader rating, this data will now appear in your portfolio view. Simply scroll over to the “Total Grade” column to see each position’s overall rating.

Now, click on the highlighted link in the “Total Grade” column on the right for any stock in your portfolio to display the detailed grade breakdown.

This data includes the total grade, as well as its fundamental and quantum grades. Plus, a detailed breakdown of the stock’s performance across eight fundamental categories, as shown below.

Finally, our development team also added Louis’s Stock Grader filters to our popular TradeSmith Screener tool.

To access them, simply go to + Manage Filters, scroll all the way down just below the performance criteria, and you’ll find the newly added Stock Grader filters under the Other section.

So, whether you are building a new screen or revisiting an old one, you can add the total grade, fundamental grade, and quantitative grade filters to your screen to find stocks that get high marks, according to Louis’s Stock Grader system.

Mike Burnick’s Bottom Line: TradeSmith analytics provides you with many ways to find winning stocks — Health, Trend, Cycles, Seasonality, Quality, and so much more. And now we’ve expanded that list of exclusive tools by adding Louis Navellier’s proven Stock Grader data.
