This Site provides intelligent Canadian and U.S. stock picks with a truly outstanding track record.

Our Buys have increased an average of 14% per year in the past ten years. That's a cumulative gain of 271% in ten years. That is excellent performance in a decade where stocks in general did not perform. Our Strong Buys actually averaged 19% per year and a cumulative 473% over the decade but honestly we think 14% per year and 271% on the decade is a better indication of our overall past performance this is because few of our subscribers would have restricted their investments to only our Strong Buys.

In choosing Investment Advice to read or follow you should look for the following three things:

1. Trustworthiness - If you don't trust a Site it is clearly of no value to you. Browse this Site for a few moments and the integrity and truthfulness should be obvious to you.

2. Performance - Advice that you trust but which has not performed is of no use.

3. A rational approach which suits your temperament. Does our approach of value and fundamentals-based investing seem rational to you and does it match your temperament?  Like Warren Buffett, we make no use whatsoever of charts and "technical analysis". That is, we analyze companies and not charts. Chart investors implicitly are trying to follow the smart money. We are not trying to follow the smart money. With all due respect we think we are among the smart money investors.

If you are a day trader, you will have little use for our work. We have been quite successful at getting rich over the past ten years by investing in the stocks of mostly long-established profitable (and usually dividend-paying) companies and we hope to continue. If you are looking to get rich immediately by somehow making a short-term 1000% return on a stock, that is not what we are trying to do and this Site will not fit your needs.

Thank You for visiting our Web Site. Be sure to see our free articles on the current valuation of the stock market  - the links are just below. We can help you grow rich through intelligent investing. We have helped many hundreds of investors grow richer over the past 10 years.

We Pick Canadian and American Stocks based on fundamental analysis (in the best traditions of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham) and we have an exceptionally good track record.  We have beaten the market index 9 out of our 10 years of existence. On average we have beaten the market index by 12% per year. Could your money use a friend like this site?

Despite two market crashes this decade our Strong Buys have more than quintupled since the end of 1999, our Buys-or-higher-rated stocks and the Editor's personal portfolio have both more than tripled in that period. Meanwhile the Canadian TSX index rose just 39% in the first decade of the 2000's and the S&P 500 index has declined by 24% in the decade.
