The Top Guns Top 10 Portfolio is designed to be our easiest stock portfolio to follow. It's our 10 favorite top gun stocks in a $10,000 portfolio. There's no fancy trades or options used here, we simply buy the top names in each of the market's 10 sectors and hold them until it's time to make a switch. And perhaps the best part is it only requires about 30 minutes a week to stay up to date.
In our humble opinion, the Top Guns Top 10 Portfolio represents the real best of breed companies. These are the top rated stocks (in terms of earnings strength and company performance) in the top rated industries, not somebody's personal feelings about which company has the strongest management team, the best new product, etc. Our analysis encompasses hundreds of indicators and focuses primarily on the strength, momentum, and changes to earnings expectations as well as company performance. In short, we want only those companies that are the true Top Guns.
Turning to the sell side of the investment equation, it has been said that anybody can buy stocks - it's knowing when to sell that separates the men from the boys. So, on the sell side, if a stock has met our upside target, falls in our rankings, or simply isn't performing up to par, we'll unemotionally cut it from the fold and move on to the next top rated name.
Unlike our Trader services, this portfolio is about one thing and one thing only - the performance of the portfolio! Therefore, we won't keep track of the number of winning trades we make and frankly we don't care if we have to cut a stock if it disappoints. This service is about making the most we can from a small portfolio of top ranked stocks.
How the Top 10 Portfolio Works
The approach to our Top 10 Portfolio is very straightforward.
Each week, our computers generate a Top Guns rating for more than 1600 stocks. We then narrow the field to the true Top Guns by eliminating everything not rated in the top 20%. (For details on how we identify the Top Guns, be sure to read our special report What Is a Top Gun Stock? )
From there, our team painstakingly reviews each of the top rated stocks on an individual basis. We check out the charts from a technical perspective. We review Wall Street's current research and brokerage ratings (we have access to most of the Street's important research), and we check our long-term fundamental models. While it takes an enormous amount of time and energy, the goal is to identify the top two to three stocks in each sector.
Next, each of the week's contenders is compared to our existing holdings. If one of the new kids appears to offer more upside, we won't hesitate to make a change.
Each week we will send you an TRADE ALERT! detailing the changes that we are making to the portfolio.
At TGT, we believe that performance is job # 1. And unlike so many newsletter services out there, we don't hide our performance. Every week we will send a Portfolio Roundup which includes a summary of any changes that we've made as well as the current performance to the portfolio.
So, to sum up, we do all the research legwork, we send you an Alert telling you EXACTLY what we are about to do and why, and then we follow it up with a performance summary every week.
Let's Talk Performance
