Two Decades of Trend Leadership, Risk Discipline, and Systematic Advantage

Published in Stock Trends

The investment world took notice this week as Berkshire Hathaway revealed a significant new equity position in Alphabet (GOOGL-Q). For a firm renowned for its deliberate, valuation-anchored decision-making, the entry into one of the world’s most dominant technology franchises carries weight. Yet for Stock Trends users, Berkshire’s move is not a surprise so much as a confirmation of a trend that the Stock Trends framework has identified and validated repeatedly for nearly twenty years.

Subscriber Testimonials

I find your website and research very helpful in my stock trading. I have subscribed to several related services in the past and none present their work with “just the facts” as you. Please keep up the great work so that I can continue to learn!
Bryan E., Subscriber
Hence, anyone who had followed the "Stock Trends" line should have sold their Bre-X shares and, with the windfall, paid for a lifetime subscription to The Globe and Mail and more. Talk about return on investment!
Muni P., Subscriber
An admitted cynic, it's obviously very high praise when he says he likes StockTrends because of its "simplicity, utility, openness, [and] honesty," and in addition to having "no hidden agenda" is "understandably documented [and] historically verifiable." And, he adds, "It lets me see a lot of things without doing a lot of work." Globe and Mail

I am fascinated with your service and methodology - it is very impressive. [...] Over the years I have concluded that there are many ways to approach stock investing, but once one has chosen a path, one is better off sticking to it.
Bob E., Subscriber
I use Stock Trends to help direct my stock picks. Also, following the advice of Stock Trends I have religiously used stop-loss orders and have avoided hanging on to losing stocks for emotional reasons.
John B., Subscriber
Stock Trends analysis quantifies nicely the movement of individual stocks. I’ve found that if the technicals are out of synch with fundamental analysis, it is a wake-up call to make a decision. The Stock Trends Bull/Bear Ratio is useful in identifying major market bottoms and tops. It has always presented a good buying or selling opportunity.
Charles G., Subscriber
I've followed a number of Stock Trends picks, and the methodology is solid.
Doug B., Subscriber
I've followed your recommendations since reading your columns in the Globe & Mail, and finding they published Stock Trends arrows in their financial listings. I do find them a guide to the general market and what I should be avoiding for declining chart trends.
Has probably saved me the subscription by not rushing into hot stocks!
Anthony D., Subscriber
Your report is an impressive, excellent tool and I have recommmended it to friends.
Colin E., Subscriber
Thank you for your excellent work and kind approach to your customers.
Odette C., Subscriber
I am something of a momentum investor. I find Stock Trends useful as I can look at my portfolio as a “watch list” and quickly see where trends are declining in strength or reversing, so it is particularly useful as a tool in portfolio management regarding sales.
William C., Subscriber
There is a lot to be gained from comparing trends of how individual stocks are doing within a sector, as well as how the sector is performing relative to the broad market.
Dudley R., Subscriber
Just thought I'd call to thank you, Skot. Stock Trends Weekly Reporter helped pay for my daughter's education!

When the “Big Short” Turned Its Eye on Tech: Interpreting the Burry Shock Through Stock Trends Indicators
