Scoring Stocks 2nd Edition Tony Pow

Publisher Marketing: Enter the fundamental metric information such as P/E on any 100 stocks into a scoring system. If the top 25% of the stocks perform a lot better than the rest in 6 months consistently, then it is a good scoring system. I have been using my own scoring system for years. It sums up the individual scores for selected fundamental metrics. When the total passes a certain number, evaluate the stock further for potential purchase. This scoring system has been updated many times for refinements and adapting to the changing market conditions. All metric information can be obtained from web sites. Many companies and academic projects must have worked on this kind of stock scoring systems. However, few if any can prove their systems work consistently. I may have found the reason why it does not work consistently. The fundamental metrics change from different market conditions. To illustrate, the current market conditions may favor value while some other conditions favor growth. I monitor the performances of all the fundamental metrics periodically and make changes accordingly. Hence, I call my scoring system Adaptive Stock Scoring System (do not use the acronym). In writing this book, I switched from IBM to Apple as the sole example in this book as IBM scored very low. Apple scored very high. This book was published in 06/2013. The performances of the two stocks from 06/03/2013 to 06/03/2014: IBM -14% and Apple 41% (vs. SPY's 17%). Last Update: 09/2015. Size: 160 pages (6*9) Contributor Bio:  Pow, Tony After my early retirement, I have been spending most of my time in investing, running thousands of simulation and reading over one hundred books in investing. Starting from 2000, I have been doing extraordinary good. I comment in financial blogs and save the good ones in my own blog, so I can refer them later on. After several years, I have enough information to write a book. At first, I want to write a book for one reader only: Me. My children have better things to do than investing. I do not need to keep my 'secrets' for them. That's why I publish this book. From the version before its release, it had been doing better than my expectation. It has been very rewarding, when my readers tell me how much they enjoy and benefit from this book.
