The long term PowerRating community was very active during this extremely volatile week with stocks that mostly hit the low end of the long term PowerRating ranking scale.
These uncertain economic times makes having a proven stock picking method for your long term portfolio all the more essential. Culling your holdings of stocks that have dipped into the "danger zone" of 1 , 2 , or 3 ratings is particularly critical in these volatile times.
Our studies have shown that stocks with a 9 long term PowerRating have a 79.1% chance of closing higher one year later, and those with the coveted 10 rating possess an 81% chance of being higher one year later. On the other hand, those with low 1, 2, or 3 long term PowerRating have proven to simply be too volatile, thus risky for your conservative, prudent long term portfolio. Our studies were done over the last 12 years, across most market conditions in a statistically sound manner. The current volatile and uncertain market environment makes knowing the long term PowerRatings mission critical. Let's take a closer look at several of the "Most Requested".
