Easily Finding A Good Stock
By Al Thomas

There is a tremendous amount of software,
complicated high priced newsletters, radio and
TV stock pickers and Internet web sites that
will help you find a stock that is going to make
you rich.
The problem is you don’t know if this is talk
or are these gurus putting their own money where
their mouth is. Until I know for sure this
“expert” has his own cash on the line I don’t
want to buy it. If he doesn’t have confidence in
his own picks than why should I put my money at
risk?
Wall Street wants you to do research. Find out
everything you can about a company before you
buy their shares. Your broker will send you tons
of information on full color click paper, pink
sheets, blue sheets, yellow sheets and more.
Morningstar will be very happy to sell you a
complete report.
One important fact is that if you and everyone
else can have this information then it can’t be
worthwhile because once a bit of news is known
it is immediately factored into the price of the
stock. That is why research is worthless. What
you want to know is if you buy it will it go up.
Obviously there are no guarantees.
Furthermore, do you have the time to pour over
hundreds of pages of scores of companies to find
one that will go up? If you follow those “hot
stock” tipsters that send email every day you
are sure to lose your money.  Surely someone
should know something, but how do you find that
person. Here is the secret.
On the Internet you can find many sites that
rate mutual funds by performance. Performance
means those that are making more money during
the last one month or 3 months than all the
others.
Be careful of those who advertise the “Top 25
Mutual Funds”. It may not mean by performance.
It might be those that have the most assets and
that doesn’t mean squat. Size is not a criteria
of quality.
There is one advisory service that will sell
you a monthly list of best performing mutual
funds and has them listed by 1, 3, 6 and 12
month performance. It is NoLoad FundX. A free
subscription can be had to Successful Investing
that tracks the best funds weekly at
http://www.successful-investment.com/StatSheet/SS012005.htm
on the Internet.
Now that you have found the best performing
funds you can easily see what stocks they have
in their portfolio either by requesting a
prospectus or by checking online at Market Watch
web site
http://www2.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/intchart.asp?seiteid=mktw.
Type in the symbol for the best performing fund
and you will be able to locate the stocks they
own. Looking through their top picks you will
soon be able to find a few  stocks  that are
going up now. Do this with several funds and you
will have good equities from which to choose.
What you have done is pick the brain of the
manager of the currently best performing fund to
find stocks on which he has done all the
research.
Here is a free method of easily finding good stocks.
