The Sacred Truths of Investing

Now that Wall Street is dominated by indexing, alternative investments, and private credit, stock picking seems to have gone out of style. Louis Navellier, however, remains one of its most distinguished and successful practitioners. Investors who followed his buy and sell ratings have topped the performance of the S&P 500 since 1997. Mr. Navellier's success has relied on combining a quantitative and qualitative analysis of a stock's risks and opportunities. Historical returns from his quantitative analysis alone have delivered market beating results. However, his quantitative overlay--which relies on innovative applications of statistical measures for risk and reward--on fundamentally superior stocks is the cornerstone of his success and what separates Mr. Navellier from his peers on Wall Street. Mr. Navellier makes his qualitative and quantitative analyses relevant to novice and sophisticated investors alike in The Sacred Truths of Investing and goes further than laying out a prescription for selecting stocks. In The Sacred Truths of Investing, Mr. Navellier provides context and perspective for investors, drawing on his nearly 50 years of experience on Wall Street by delving into the big ideas that have held sway, and which have determined the market's direction for over a century. With a friendly writing style and understated wit, The Sacred Truths of Investing earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of investors who seek proven methodologies to do what many erroneously claim cannot be done: beat the market.
