Summary:
Beat the Pros at Their Own Game All too often, you learn about good
stocks far too late to profit from the information. By the time you
actually buy a stock, professional investors have already been there,
bought the stock, driven up the price, and are just waiting to unload
it at an inflated price. All That's About to Change. . .. In Ahead of
the Market, Mitch Zacks shows investors how they can spot stocks that
are poised to take off long before the rest of the crowd learns about
them. How? By unlocking the gems of priceless information buried in
Wall Street's often self-serving research. Ahead of the Market is the
first book, ever, that enables you to profitably use the analyst
stock research for which Wall Street firms pay more than one billion
dollars annually. Many investors have rightly felt misled in the past
by analysts who continued to hype stocks as prices plummeted. You may
have even concluded that Wall Street research is totally worthless.
But it's not. In Ahead of the Market, Mitch Zacks shows that analysts
actually provide a wealth of market-moving information that can
generate exceptional returns if interpreted correctly. The key is to
use the research produced by Wall Street analysts the same way the
professional money managers do. Pioneered by the firm Zacks
Investment Research and based on more than twenty years of intensive
analysis, the investment strategies revealed in this book are indeed
the same ones used by successful professional investors everywhere.
In these pages you will learn how to form an investment plan by
locating stocks that are poised for price appreciation and avoiding
stocks heading for a fall. Zacks shows how you could have prevented
being burned when the recent bubble burst, if you had known how to
use analyst research correctly and teaches you the rules of the
research game so you will not fall victim the next time around. In
sum, this book is your guide to picking the right stock at the right
time. Mitch Zacks's groundbreaking research provides new insights and
new strategies to: Use revisions to analysts' earnings estimates to
predict the rise and fall of stock prices Interpret the real meaning
behind analysts' stock recommendations Employ the "cockroach"
phenomenon and other methodologies to predict earnings surprises
before they occur Determine how to react when a company reports
earnings and how to profit from "post-earnings announcement drift"
Understand and profit from "analyst creep" -- the reason that
earnings estimate revisions occur incrementally over time Avoid being
duped by the games that companies play with their earnings reports
Whether the economy is healthy or stalled, whether the market is up
or down, by focusing on the strategies contained in this book you
will always come out ahead. Well-picked individual stocks will always
carry the day. Now with Ahead of the Market, you will finally have
the same tools institutional investors have and will be able to find
great stocks in any market environment.
