August 22, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

Especially when many of the best investments come from the little-known, unsexy companies quietly beating the market. This is where being armed with a data-driven approach shines… With comprehensive tools, we can single out those boringly effective companies whose performance dwarfs the broad

This Simple System Beat the Market 85% of the Time

August 21, 2024Keith Kaplan

As investors, uncertainty is our constant companion. Nobody can predict the future. So, no matter how confident we may be, we can never be certain of the outcome for any investment. We can only optimistically assume that, when the time comes to cash out, we’ll get back more money than we put in… or at least break even. And while we wait, we all have that little voice in the back of our head pop up and say, “I hope I didn’t

This Dividend Stalwart is Crushing the Market… and It’s Going Higher

August 20, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

Now that the stock market crash from earlier this month has vanished, it’s time to get back to business. Hopefully you heeded our data-driven advice and bought stocks during the volatility scare. While that note was bullish from a broad-based perspective, today I want to drill down on one of my favorite stocks this year that just announced an incredible earnings report, retail giant Walmart (WMT).

Mr. 1,000 Is Ready to Take on AGI

August 19, 2024Michael Salvatore

In This Digest: There’s a funny thing about pendulums… Quick physics experiment for you… trust me, it’s going somewhere. Imagine you have a pendulum. If you hold it up some distance from neutral and let go, it’ll follow an arc down past the neutral point and rise to the other side, about opposite where you dropped it. It’ll then return to you at the same speed. And no matter where you drop the weight along the arc or how long

The Best Stocks to Trade on a VIX Collapse

August 16, 2024Michael Salvatore

In this digest: The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) just got “crushed”… From the third-sharpest rise of all time, the VIX has completely retraced in just two weeks. Take a look: In the nine days since the peak of volatility on Aug. 5, the VIX has collapsed 57%. But while VIX surges to that degree are extremely rare – a rise of 100% or more over three trading days has only happened twice in the last 20 years – VIX collapses

When Stocks Reach Oversold Conditions, Pounce Quickly

August 15, 2024TradeSmith Research Team

When golden hour comes for stocks, don’t stop and stare… Get in there. That’s been a mantra of mine for years. I started saying it back in 2017, when I began building a long-term portfolio of champion-caliber stocks that had fallen on hard times. While there’s no crystal-ball analysis that works every time, we can always depend on stocks going through a rough patch every so often. Those moments can feel gut-wrenching to sit through. But if your analysis signals
