Stock Watch: Stock Watches are brief company specific research reports intended to generate investment ideas for small cap analysts and portfolio managers. Stock watches are largely technical but make extensive use publicly available financial data, ratio analysis, valuation and growth targets. Coupled with our macro outlook, we use these tools to determine what we believe is discounted in the current stock price. We identify stock watch candidates by using a proprietary screen that uncovers inexpensive stocks with high returns on invested capital. We then overlay technical analysis on the initial quantitative screen to indentify the most promising names. Well priced, high return stocks with promising technical patterns should outperform over time. Stock Watches are not meant to be exhaustive fundamental analysis. No one should purchase a Stock Watch idea without first performing their own fundamental due diligence. »learn more
