Companies in trouble have symptoms. To interpret the symptoms you first must know what they are. The outline that follows will provide a starting point.

The signs are there for all to see. Are you a savvy investor who can see beyond the headlines?

Today’s Danger Zone report leaves you a better investor. It shows how to recognize when a stock has destroyed its value so you can avoid the heartbreak of another bad decision. “Cautious” investing doesn’t work. Seek to be ruthless in your assessment.

The market has made many amateur investors into part-time stock picking gurus. Getting by on dumb luck without a system is doomed to fail. Inspired investing is fueled by research — the right research.

Seek to be different. Be prepared.

New Constructs Danger Zone Reports are lessons in loss prevention. How much is it worth to you to eliminate poor decisions? Learning to interpret intrinsic value erases uncertainty. Confidence is everything for an investor.

We recommend you print out each Danger Zone Lesson so you can build a list of symptoms to diagnose before you make a new investment.

Conventional wisdom says buy-back plans and an activist investor are the recipe for a successful turnaround. In this issue we make a strong case why this plan is too late for the stock in the Danger Zone this week. Running out of cash and increased competition are only the surface problems. Throw in turmoil in the boardroom and we have a recipe for disaster.

Stock market history says we are due for a correction. Your Danger Zone Lessons can help you profit when everyone else is caught like a deer in headlights.
