What you get
A signal here is not a shout — it is a process with a beginning and an end.
Buy
When a stock meets one of the released recipes, you get it by email — with the reason in plain words and with what the backtest says about that strategy.
Accompany
Every reported position is carried forward. Your account always shows what is running and what has been closed.
Sell
The exit follows a fixed rule, not a gut feeling: a stop 15% below entry, at the latest after 84 days — or when the stock no longer meets the recipe. The rule is set before the buy.
This rule is set, not proven: the first holding period is still running, so there are no closed positions from live operation yet.

Why we are allowed to sell this
We have backtested 45 investment strategies ourselves — across entire stock universes, with trading costs and including the companies that no longer exist today. Most of them fail. Only 11 recipes made it through.
We publish what does not work, too.
Three results from our backtests
14.38% per year
Growth Gems, buying at exactly 7 out of 7 points, backtested from 2000 to 2026 — against 6.55% per year for the S&P 500 over the same period.
The honest part
Along the way the portfolio sat 53.1% below its high. Individual sell variants in the study score higher — the study itself warns that those lines are partly a multiple-testing artefact.
14.48% per year
Magic Formula in its original ranking, backtested from 2000 to 2026 across 22,871 US stocks — against 8.28% for the S&P 500.
The honest part
Since 2010 the formula has trailed the index by roughly 3.8 percentage points a year. The edge comes from the years before that.
17.90% per year
Cannibal Turn (buybacks beginning), twelve-month holding period from 2013 to 2026 — against 15.02% for the S&P 500 including dividends.
The honest part
Companies that have been buying back habitually for years stayed below the index at 13.13%. What counts is the start, not the habit.
Every figure is a backtest result: measured past, not a promise for the future.
Got a particular stock in mind?
We will check it for you on its own: business development, valuation, balance sheet and risks in one analysis that is published afterwards. $9.90 once, result usually within 24 to 48 hours.
The Stock Check cannot be bought here yet. We will let you know as soon as it starts.
What you can realistically expect
Since August 4, 2026 we have sent 28 verified buy signals, spread over 6 of 6 trading days — 4.7 a day on average, so roughly 24 a week. The period is short; we keep the figure updated.
A backtest measures the past; it is not a promise. Every return figure we show describes what a strategy WOULD have returned in a historical period — not what it will return.
Stocks can lose value at any time, up to a total loss. Only invest money you do not depend on.
Signals are information, not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy. The decision is yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on the market and cannot be steered: there are days with several signals and weeks without a single one. The measured frequency is on our home page and is kept up to date there.
From two sources: the recipes we have backtested and released ourselves, and the ongoing review of fresh quarterly reports. Every signal names its source and its reason.
Yes. Every reported position carries an exit rule that is fixed before the buy: a stop below entry, a holding period, or the end of the recipe being met. When it is reached, you get a sell signal.
No. We deliver information and reasoning, not a recommendation tailored to your personal situation. The decision and the risk stay with you.
No. A backtest measures what a strategy would have returned in the past — with trading costs and including the companies that no longer exist. For the future it is a reference point, not a promise. That is why we also publish the strategies that failed.
With one click in your account, no notice period and no questions asked. The subscription then runs to the end of the month you have paid for.
