The Stock Study Guide software helps you learn the skills needed to earn a superior rate of return in the stock market. These skills can enable investors to buy and sell stocks more successfully.
Better decisions are available because the Guide (PC format) produces growth charts for a company's set of seven growth, financial and operating fundamentals. The growth charts contain easy-to-understand visual trends for each of a company's three growth fundamentals, two financial fundamentals and two operating fundamentals.
A Strong Candidates for a Growth Portfolio
The accompanying set of three strong growth fundamentals was achieved by one of the world's largest manufacturers of orthopedic products (e.g. artificial hips, knees, shoulders and spines).
The chart shows you that the company has a long history of growing its sales and profits at high rates (i.e. steep trends) and growth in the stock's annual price range has kept pace. Growth fundamentals like these can make the company a strong candidate for a growth portfolio.
A Company with Weak Growth Fundamentals
The accompanying set of growth fundamentals was experienced by one of the world's largest manufacturers of photographic equipment and supplies. Note that sales generally trended down for 10 years; profits per share declined steadily; and, the stock's annual price range followed profits down.
Responding to Weak Growth Fundamentals
Upon seeing this enduring deterioration in a company's growth fundamentals, busy "growth investors" may forego further study of the company's financial and operating fundamentals and look for a more promising portfolio candidate. However, "value investors" may see the company as a "turnaround situation" and continue their investigation of the company's other fundamentals and additional information.

Enrolling in the course gives busy investors access to the instruction and software that helps them quickly recognize a company with a stock that has become significantly overpriced. In particular, the course helps owners of a successful investment avoid selling it too early, or too late.
