Our research process

How we choose every weekly pick

Momentum finds the candidates. Fundamentals decide which ones survive. Everything that closes gets published. Here is the whole process, start to finish.

Stage 1

Start from the broad market

Each week begins with a wide universe of liquid, listed US equities. Anything too thinly traded to enter or exit sensibly is removed before analysis starts — a pick you can't actually fill is not a pick.

Stage 2

Screen for uptrend momentum

We narrow that universe to stocks already demonstrating sustained upward price momentum, rather than trying to catch falling knives or call bottoms. The aim is to identify trends that are established and still intact.

Stage 3

Confirm with fundamental review

Momentum alone will happily point you at a failing business having a good fortnight. Every surviving candidate goes through a fundamental review so that the price trend is supported by the underlying company, not just by enthusiasm.

Stage 4

Rank by conviction and publish

What's left is ranked by conviction, and only the strongest setups are published. Most weeks, the large majority of screened candidates don't make the list at all. A short list is the point.

Ongoing

Track, exit, and publish the result

Open positions are tracked in the subscriber dashboard until they close. Once a position closes it enters the historical record — and 30 days later it is published publicly, whatever the outcome.

Who is behind the picks

Weekly Stock Picks is produced by our in-house research team. The same process runs every week, in the same order, regardless of what the market is doing or how the previous week turned out — the screen doesn't get loosened after a bad run to manufacture more ideas.

We think the honest way to judge a research team is on its record rather than on its biography, so we publish ours in full. Every position that has closed is listed individually on our performance page — entry, exit, holding period and outcome, losers included.

What this isn't

Being clear about the limits matters more than another feature bullet.

  • It isn't personalised financial advice. We don't know your circumstances, timeline, tax position or risk tolerance. We publish research; what you do with it is your decision.
  • It isn't a guarantee of returns. A process that works on average still produces losing positions, and ours does — they're on the performance page alongside the winners.
  • It isn't a managed portfolio. We don't size positions for you, hold your money, or execute anything. You place your own trades through your own broker.
  • It isn't day trading. Picks are published weekly and held for weeks to months, not minutes. If you want intraday signals, this is the wrong service.

Weekly Stock Picks is an educational research service, not a broker-dealer or registered investment adviser, and nothing on this page is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Investing in equities involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
