This Advanced Stock Picking Tool Uncovers Tomorrow’s Profits

As it often does this time of year, lately, it’s felt like we’re racing toward Christmas and New Year’s. Many folks are counting down the days until that fast-approaching holiday break, very much looking forward to some time off spent with loved ones. But in fact, the Yuletide isn’t the only exciting thing that December has in store…

That is, for the past several months, my team and I have been working to create a new type of stock picking tool. And last week, we unveiled this trailblazing system for the very first time. (Watch the replay of that event here!)

It’s one that analyzes thousands of stocks each month to find those best positioned to rise over the next 30 days. I’m talking stocks with a strong fundamental, technical, and sentimental basis. 

We’ve dubbed this advanced tool Auspex – in recognition of the ancient Roman officials who interpreted omens to guide their decisions. 

As I mentioned, each month, Auspex runs a comprehensive scan of the market, examining many thousands of data points to find the few stocks that are strong across the board. 

But what exactly does that entail? 

Today, we’ll start by reviewing the fundamental aspect of Auspex’s stock picking.

There are a lot of fundamental factors to consider. And that means there are a lot of ways for a stock to be fundamentally strong. 

Trained to Seek Only the Best Fundamental Setups

In our experience, three things matter most when it comes to stock fundamentals: sales, earnings, and profit margins.

Are sales rising? What about earnings? Is the trend of that growth picking up or slowing down? And how about profits? Are margins compressing or expanding? 

When looking for the market’s top performers, we want to find stocks that are growing sales and earnings. Moreover, we want to see sales growth acceleration, meaning the business is seeing underlying sales momentum. The same goes for earnings growth. 

Additionally, we want to see profit margin expansion, too. That means we’re hoping to uncover businesses whose profit margins are higher today than where they were last year. 

When a stock meets all those criteria, Auspex deems it fundamentally strong. 

And not many meet such strict criteria. 

That is, very few stocks have rising and accelerating sales and earnings growth, as well as profit margin expansion, all at the same time.

When we have Auspex scan the markets, it analyzes a universe of roughly 14,000 stocks.

In a recent scan we conducted, only about 300 of those 14,000 stocks were deemed fundamentally strong, with accelerating sales and earnings growth and swelling profit margins. 

That is just about 2% of all possible picks. 

Yet, the complete list of the most promising stocks Auspex flags is even narrower.
