Over the period from 2012 to 2021, the one-year total return of the S&P 500 index's top performing stock ranged from 80% to 743%. This outstanding wealth enhancement dwarfs the average return of the index itself. But is there a way to spot stocks like this before they begin their meteoric rise?
In The Little Book of Picking Top Stocks, Martin S. Fridson delivers a practical and easy-to-follow guide to identifying ultra-high-return equities. The author identifies the quantitative and qualitative traits of stocks that rose to become the absolute strongest performers in the S&P 500.
In the book, you'll learn why conventional equity research provides limited help in zeroing in on the index's future top issues. You'll also discover important insights into stock selection and the risks it involves, as well as strategies that have actually worked to generate extraordinary profits via stock picking.
The Little Book of Picking Top Stocks helps investors understand an equities market that has become increasingly disconnected from traditional measures of value and growth. It focuses on choosing those securities that have the greatest potential for appreciation over a comparatively short horizon.
