To Find Big Gains, Look Where Few Others are!

Mike Larson

A month ago, I told you that you can find huge winners when you look where few others are – and hinted that I’d have more on that front soon. I said:

“There are literally hundreds and hundreds of stocks that receive very little traditional Wall Street coverage at all. They may have just a handful of analysts following them … and in some cases, as few as one (or none)! … But there are big profits to be had in out-of-the-way stocks, just like I know there are great meals to be had in out-of-the-way spots.”

Now, it’s time for me to take the wraps off our project. We just launched a new service at Weiss Ratings this month called Under-the-Radar Stocks. It’s based on extensive, ground-breaking research we can do here at Weiss because we cast one of the broadest nets in the business when it comes to stock evaluation.

Many Wall Street firms follow just a few dozen or a couple hundred widely held, popular stocks like Facebook (FB, Rated “A-”), Apple (AAPL, Rated “B”), Microsoft (MSFT, Rated “B+”), or Wal-Mart Stores (WMT, Rated “B-”). That’s all well and good, and I’m not slamming those stocks. They’re all BUYS in our system, too.

But there’s not much that the Wall Street analysts – and the large and small individual and institutional investors who follow them – don’t already know about these industry giants. Is there anyone on the planet who didn’t know Apple was going to release new iPhones this fall? Or any firm on Wall Street that didn’t already say everything there was to say about them?

What possible edge do you have when you buy Apple, or read a mainstream firm’s analyst report on it? I’d argue the answer is “none.” It doesn’t mean you should sell Apple. But I think you can do better. I think that with a little research, you can uncover dozens … even hundreds … of out-of-the-way stocks with much greater profit potential.

So that’s exactly what we set out to do over the past few months. We combed through our vast research and ratings database – one that covers more than 15,000 stocks – to see how Under-the-Radar stocks (those with one or no traditional analysts following them) truly performed. And we found that the highest-rated stocks among the group trounced the S&P 500, with many delivering double-digit and even triple-digit returns.

Even better: Now looks like a fantastic time to get your feet wet with these kinds of companies. That’s because smaller capitalization stocks are taking the lead from their large cap brethren again. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM, Rated “B”) has surged 6% in the past month, for instance, more than double the 2.5% return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY, Rated “B”).

If historical, seasonal patterns hold true, that outperformance is likely to persist at least through the end of the year. And that makes Under-the-Radar Stocks an even better profit play! Heck, one of our inaugural three recommendations was already showing gains of almost 19% — in only two weeks — as of Wednesday.

My advice? Kick the tires on this service and see if it’s right for you. You can click here for more details, or give us a call at 877-934-7778. Our work suggests there is plenty of profit to be had in this market by looking where few others are!

Until next time,

Mike
