This week’s market action was one of the most volatile on record. It appears the Goldilocks’ economy and stock market are over. The incredibly long run of stability in capital markets has come to an end. No longer, as Ray Dalio points out, can investors make easy money betting on the stock market going up.

When the markets and economy are supported by fiscal and monetary policy, investors rightly see little risk in stocks. So, they bet more and more speculatively on anything and everything, e.g. the rise and fall of SPACs, NFTs, meme stocks, etc. Excess liquidity interferes with the efficiency of markets, and it creates disconnects between value and fundamentals.

As painful as it maybe, this market volatility is healthy, and it is bringing some efficiency back. Unfortunately, it’s been so long that we’ve seen a market this efficient that most investors have forgotten how to use fundamental research.

Fortunately for those reading this email or report, you can use our best-in-class fundamental research to outperform your peers now. Our CEO, David Trainer, hosted a special webinar this week to explain exactly how to use our research to make money now and in the future.

For years, we’ve been training our Robo-Analyst with carefully curated data straight from SEC filings. The result is proven-superior fundamental research that you can use to outperform now.

 Our Robo-Analyst is the only real AI for investing that is proven to create alpha…in all markets. That has made a huge difference for our clients in 2025.

Don’t take our word for it, look at the real-time proof.

Check out the performance of the Very Attractive Stocks Index (ticker: BNCVA1T:IND) vs. the S&P 500. This index tracks the stocks that earn our Very Attractive Rating. In the first quarter of 2025, the Bloomberg New Constructs Ratings VA-1 Index (official name) is up 4.6% while the S&P 500 is down 4.6%.

Proof is in performance.

This week we published lots more research that can help you outperform, too.

First up, FREE STOCK picks: we published two free stock picks this week. The first pick is from our Most Attractive Stocks Model Portfolio and the second pick is from our Most Dangerous Stocks Model Portfolio.

On the Model Portfolio front, both our Focus List Stocks: Long and Focus List Stocks: Short Model Portfolios outperformed the S&P 500 in 1Q25!

Our latest Long Idea features a company that is the most profitable among its peers and is positioned for future growth, yet its stock is priced as if profits will permanently be cut in half.

We published a new report that includes the full list of Zombie Stocks. Zombie Stocks could legitimately go to $0/share because they have flawed business models that will likely never generate enough cash to cover the company’s liabilities and pay shareholders anything.

Last but certainly not least, we published our overall Sector Rankings for the second quarter of 2025. Look for our in-depth reports on each individual sector next week!

Links to all our newly published research are below along with a preview for next week’s research.

We hope you have a great week!
