The Y-Rating "Hold/Sell." As you can see, the numbers never top 10%, meaning that
analysts rated more than 90% of stocks "Hold," "Hold/Buy" or "Buy" at
all times during the past 14 years.
The Y-Rating is a single summary score that takes into account our 3
key indicators: Value Score, Fundamental Check, and Valuation
(Historical Multiples). In a glance, it will give you a sense of the safety
and return possibility of the stock.
Be aware that it will often miss stocks with a huge potential for gains
because big gains are correlated with high risk. Also, it sometimes
misses the decline of industries which were profitable for long periods of
time.
To receive an overall "Attractive" rating, a stock must:
• Receive a Value Score of 9 or 10
• Receive a Fundamental Check score of 7 or higher
• Have a Historical Value greater than its current price
To receive an overall "Avoid" rating, a stock only needs to have
"Weak" fundamentals - a Fundamental Check score of 4 or lower. That might be alright if analysts consistently picked winners in their

portfolio Further, there is strong evidence from scholarly research that
analysts are over-optimistic about future prices and long term growth
rates.
Our system, on the other hand, was built based on intensive study
and rigorous testing. We searched for relationships between stock
prices and company financials that predicted returns over long periods
of time. We documented predictive relationships and can now direct
you to companies that look similar to those that historically grew in
value. While there is no way to guarantee that what worked in the past
will work equally well in the future, we view it as the best possible
starting point.
