Best Stocks 2014: according to me

Here is a list of my best stocks for 2014. I categorize them into 3 groups: Conservative, Risky and Riskiest. Select the category that fits your investing objective(s). I compared the one month performance (11/15/2013 to 12/15/2013) of the three portfolios. While SPY has -1.8% annualized return, the annualized returns of the first two portfolios are over 60% and the other one is over 50%. Trend is one of the many metrics. [Update as of 1/17/2014. The average, annualized return of the list is 73% beating SPY by 329% (17%) from 12-16-13 to 1-16-14.] I’ve also written several investing books. To illustrate, I included a chapter on how to detect market crashes in this book that was extracted from my book Market Timing: Profitable, Predictable and Protective (from amazon.com). I’m not a professional writer but make my living in investing stocks. The list I presented here is the list I use every day. I update the list every month. I have several stocks doubled in 2013: BSX, CAMP (200% gain), USNA… and many double in annualized returns. Since this book was written in late Dec. 2013, the fundamentals of the recommended stocks may change by the time you buy this book. Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 show you how to update the fundamental analysis and technical analysis. When the market is risky (Chapter 8), do not buy any stocks. Buy the recommended list of stocks when the market is less risky. This chapter demonstrates how to use a chart to find the exit/reentry point. The stocks are selected from my proven screens and many other sources. The procedures are not available to my readers. I have conducted exhaustive simulations to back-test these strategies over the past 12 years. Recently, I have been creating many new strategies to adapt to the current market conditions and challenges we now face as retail investors. It is my passion to find the best ways to profit from the stock market at the least risk by using market timing and stock evaluation. In market lingo, I am looking to max my alpha while reducing my beta. I enjoy sharing my passion with others, which is why I have written this book.
