The MAGNET Method of Investing: Find, Trade, and Profit from Exceptional Stocks
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2009, Pages: 280
Finding the top-performing stocks of the future is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Jordan Kimmel has a theory, though: find the needles by turning your portfolio into a magnet for pulling them in. By using magnet theory portfolio management, Kimmel helps to get investors in the right mindset to find the future runaways, focus their efforts on really getting to know and understand them, and then concentrate their capital on the hidden values at the best time. Kimmels MAGNET Stock Selection methods (Management; Acceleration of earnings, revenues and margins; Growth must exceed current valuation; New product or management may be the driver; Emerging industry or product creates great opportunity; Timing needs to be right) have been unearthing top-performing stocks since 1997. In this book, Kimmel shares the knowledge that he and his clients have used to reap large gains in recent performance by owning shares of the right stocks before they became the darlings of Wall Street. Then, he goes further to discuss at length how they look for 'exceptionators' (a stock that scores 'exceptionally' according to his methods model). In addition to new and improved stock selection methods, this book takes a look at modern portfolio theory, efficient market theory, asset allocation and diversification and trades them in for a refined method detailing what characteristics the best stocks have in common before they produce oversized returns for investors, with Kimmel's newest take on perfecting wealth creation and capital appreciation. He also discusses economics and risk, volatility and portfolio management, among many other things.
Praise for The Magnet® Method of Investing
'Rather than encouraging the scatter shot approach of broad diversification, Jordan focuses on the rifle-shot Magnet® method of identifying a limited number of quality stocks to improve your chances of beating the market.'
—Sam Stovall, Chief Investment Strategist, Standard & Poor's Equity Research
'Jordan Kimmel is one of the brightest market observers out there, and he is certainly a rising star that will be an important person to follow marketwise for many years.'
—Michael Burke, Coeditor, Investors Intelligence, Inc.
'Jordan Kimmel's The Magnet® Method of Investing is an amazing, detailed, and intuitive book. I especially enjoyed Jordan's insights into diversification, the inefficient market, and identifying stocks that are in their 'sweet spot.' Jordan's writing style is also very straightforward and refreshing. He succeeds in taking complicated subjects and explaining them in an insightful way. This is simply an incredible book that is a must-read for both beginning and serious investors.'
—Louis G. Navellier, Chairman and founder, Navellier & Associates, Inc.
'The Magnet® Method of Investing examines investing from a different perspective than many investors often see, offering a unique alternative to diversification. Jordan Kimmel has analyzed the methods of the best investors through time and introduces his robust stock selection process.'
—David M. Darst, CFA, Managing Director and Chief Investment Strategist, Morgan Stanley Global Wealth Management Group
'We welcome Jordan's book as a valuable perspective on investing. The Wall Street Transcript applauds money managers like Jordan who explain their philosophies clearly, support them with research, and back them up with performance data. This is a great addition to any investing reading list.'
—Andrew Pickup, Publisher and CEO, The Wall Street Transcript
'The Magnet® Method of Investing takes on the important issue of diversification, which has been oversold to Main Street. This is yet another example of the need to 'go against conventional thinking' if you want to achieve superior results.'
—Stan Weinstein, Editor and Publisher, Global Trend Alert
