| Here is where we combine all the Scores for many Fundamental and Technical data points to arrive at each Stock's "Total Score". And because we calculate both Fundamental and Technical data, this gives each Stock a more complete reading of it's Total picture. Many Stocks may have very attractive technical indicators but terrible Fundamentals, which means that as soon as the Technical indicators turn negative, the Stock has no Fundamentals to help prop it up. When reviewing each Stock's Total "Score", make sure you review all the data across the row to make sure most of the data points are "Favorable". |
Total "Score"
Total "Scores" ABOVE 65 % are considered =
| This is the most recent 1 Day's trading Volume for this Stock. Low Volume Stocks are not considered to be Favorable as the spread between the bid and ask could be rather large since there seems to be very little liquidity or interest among other investors or traders. Therefore it is considered to be more favorable for Stocks to have larger trading Volume. Lower Volume Stocks could also have large downward moves in price when those who own the Stock want to sell since there may not be enough other investors interested in the Stock.Daily Volume above 400,000 is preferred and Stock's with low Volume under 50,000 are considered unfavorable. |
Volume
Daily Volume ABOVE 400,000 shares considered =
| This is one of the most useful calculations to review. Every day the current "Value" of each Stock expressed in Price is calculated using several data points updated daily. Since this calculated "Value" is what the current Price of the Stock should be, Stock's trading ABOVE the Current "Value" are considered to be to expensive and Stock's trading BELOW the current "Value" are considered to be to cheap. The larger the percentage that the current "Value" is ABOVE the current Price, the better. |
Current "Value" Above Current Price
Higher % "Values" ABOVE Prices are considered =
| Here the Stock's Current Price is compared to it's Price 1 day ago, 1 week ago, 30 days ago and Year to Date. Stocks that are already going up in Price over the periods of time listed means something is favorable and is causing investors and traders to purchase the Stock.If all other data points are Favorable, then this Stock looks attractive as reflected by it's Rates of Return. It is also useful to compare the Stock's Rate of Return vs. The Rates of Return of the Dow 30, S&P 500 and NASDAQ as listed at the top of the column for the same time periods. |
Rates of Return
Higher Rates of Return are considered =
| Earnings per Share is calculated as Net Income minus Dividends on Preferred Stock divided by the Average Outstanding Shares and is often considered to be the single most important variable in determining a Stock's Price. This Fundamental data point is the 12 month Earnings forecast at the end of last year and the forecast each quarter this year. We compare the current 12 month Earning forecast as of today, vs. The forecast at the end of last year to arrive at a % change. The higher the positive percent, the better as this indicates that the stock is gaining Earnings per Share vs.last year and should be able to move higher in Price as the Earnings forecast continues to increase. |
Earnings per Share
Higher % Increases vs. Last year are considered =
| Price to Earnings Ratio is calculated as the Stock's Current Price divided by it's Earnings per Share and is often known as "Price Multiple" or "Earnings Multiple". A high "P/E" Ratio suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in the future compared to Stocks with a lower "P/E" Ratio. It is more useful to compare the Stock's "P/E" Ratio with other Stock's "P/E"s in the same Industry.The "P/E" Ratio shows how much investors are willing to pay per dollar of Earnings. As example, if a Stock was trading at a "P/E" of 20, investors are willing to pay $20 for every $1 of current Earnings. Stocks with lower "P/E" Rations than other Stocks in the same Industry would be considered inexpense as long as other data points were favorable. |
Price to Earnings Ratio
Low P/E Ratio compared to Industry average is considered =
| The Growth Rate of Earnings is expressed using 12 Month Forecast Earnings per Share, Dividends as % of Earnings, Forecast Rate of Return of Stock and Perpetual Rate of Earnings Growth. Without going into details, the formula states that today's Price of a Stock equals the present value of all expected future dividends and calculates the Earnings Growth Rate assuming Dividends are constant. If the Earnings Growth Rate increases, remembering that Dividends are constant, then the Price of the Stock should increase. Here we compare today's Earnings Growth Rate with last years looking for increases. |
Earnings Growth Rate
Increases in % Change vs. Last Year are considered =
| The Growth Rate of Sales is expressed using the Growth of the Annual Sales as compared to the previous Sales for the same period.Since we are comparing the Growth Rate, not just the actual Sales number, it is important to know that increases in the Growth Rate is much more indicative of favorable Sales patterns. Here we compare today's Sales Growth Rate with last years looking for increases. |
Sales Growth Rate
Increases in % Change vs. Last Year are considered =
| Many Technician's follow a Stock's current Price as it relates to the Stock Price's 5, 10, 20, 100 and 200 day Moving Average. It is considered Favorable if the current Price is ABOVE the Moving Averages and many watch for the Stock to trade ABOVE the 200 day Moving Average as a positive sign for further upward Price movement. |
Current Price vs. Moving Averages
Prices ABOVE 100 & 200 Day Moving Averages is =
| Many Technician's follow a Stock's current Volume as it relates to the Stock Volume's 5, 10 and 20 day Moving Average. It is considered Favorable if the current Volume is ABOVE the Moving Averages as long as the Stock's Price is moving in the Up direction. That is an indication that investors are now in a "buying" mood for that Stock. |
Current Volume vs. Moving Averages
Volume ABOVE the 5, 10 & 20 Day Moving Average =
