How to Pick Stocks Like Your Experts

Dear Subscriber,

By Dawn Pennington

I want to give you a sneak peek at the most exciting development at Weiss Ratings in years.

As Dallas Brown noted a few days ago, we recently upgraded our website.

This facelift also makes the Weiss Ratings website much more mobile-friendly than before.

But that’s not even the best part!

Today, I want to give you a short tour of the new features available.

You’ll get to see a few that aren’t available to the broader Weiss universe … and even some that have never been available to anyone other than your Weiss Ratings editorsbefore.

When you visit our website, you’ll see right away that …

Your navigation bar has moved to the left side of the website.

This allows us to comfortably add more features to the website. And to list them in a way that is easier for you to find.

We have a new feature called Weiss Ratings Plus. Which, as you’ll see above, has a “New” tag next to its name to let you know it’s a recent addition.

Weiss Ratings Plus is the ultimate data-driven investment tool. We designed it to give our members unprecedented access to our massive 7-terabyte-and-growing financial dataset.

You know that the Weiss Ratings tell you whether a stock is a “Buy,” “Hold” or “Sell.”

Well, inside Weiss Ratings Plus, you get a fuller picture as to why.

Not only that, but you can search our entire universe of assets we rate … more than 53,000 … to custom-design an investment strategy that fits your needs and goals.

Within Weiss Ratings Plus …

The Stock Rating Analyst lets you screen for stocks just like your favorite editors do.

Suppose you want to see “Buy”-rated stocks (“A”s and “B”s) with “gold” in their name that have been upgraded over the last 30 days.

Just three clicks get you two stocks with those exact specifications: Gold Fields (GFI) and Avino Silver & Gold Mines (ASM).

The funnel icon (circled in yellow, above) unlocks even more possibilities to get you to the types of stocks you want to own.

Clicking that button lets you add more criteria to get you stocks with different ratings … or that pay dividends … or that are trading above/below the moving averages of your choice … etc.

The Stock Analyst feature is a favorite of early users of Weiss Ratings Plus.

But my favorite feature is this one …

Special Screeners provide one-click access to our team’s favorite searches.

Right now, premium members can view our newest stock “Buys” … newest stock downgrades to “Sell” … and our top-rated dividend stocks.

Remember our friends Gold Fields and Avino that were just upgraded to “Buys?” They are in good company with eBay, Coca-Cola’s Switzerland arm and much more.

This is just a small snapshot of the full list of the latest companies to earn Weiss “Buy” ratings.

Within Weiss Ratings Plus, you have the option to click on any of these names to get more data.

Say you wanted to see when Gold Fields got upgraded. You can click right on its name and go to “Rating History.”

The print is a bit small, so I’ll give you all the context.

GFI was upgraded by the Weiss Ratings on March 28 “due to a significant increase in the growth index, valuation index and total return index.”

Those are part of the Ratings “secret sauce.”

But premium members can now see more information about those factors under “Compare:”

One more note about our Special Screeners … and why your Weiss Ratings editors find them so valuable …

These lists change nearly every day.

We import new data every single day that the market is open. That includes earnings, balance sheet data, cash flow information and much more.

Plus, in the coming weeks, we will be adding more Special Screeners.

So, when you sign up for Weiss Ratings Plus, you’ll want to check them often!

We also have a whole video tour available of Weiss Ratings Plus.

It’s easy to “fall down the rabbit hole” with all the information available within the Weiss Ratings dataverse.

With 7 terabytes of data available to explore … PLUS upgrades and downgrades based on all the new data happening every day …

This is the easiest way to not only access all the Big Data we have available, but also to tap into the proprietary analysis we do with it.

That’s why we created the Weiss Ratings Plus MasterClass, to help our members do just that.

Now, these last few features are for our premium members of Weiss Ratings Plus.

But everyone in the Weiss Ratings universe can now see how our ratings are making a difference in our world …

Our press releases are now available at a glance.

We’ve added a Research & News section to our Banking and Insurance ratings.

It is our stance that the consumer is the best regulator. Informed consumers, after all, are empowered ones.

And the media is taking notice.

Here are two recent articles that resulted from these releases:

That’s the full list of Weiss Ratings Plus features that I want to call your attention to.

Rather, I should say, a full list for now.

So far, I’ve only showed you a glimpse of what’s now available to you to search for stocks to buy or sell.

Our crypto, insurance, bank, mutual fund and ETF ratings will soon join stocks under the Weiss Ratings Plus umbrella. And we already have Special Screeners in mind for each!

So, if you haven’t yet, I urge you to watch this unveiling presentation to get access to all of this … and everything that’s coming.

To your health and wealth,

Dawn Pennington
