How to Find Stocks That Will Make You Money

How to Find Stocks That Will Make You Money

How do you find stocks that are promising ideas for investment? A great idea generation process should:

  • Cover a broad universe in a reasonable amount of time
  • Make sure that you are focusing on the most promising opportunities
  • Avoid being over-reliant on a single kind of opportunity and risking systematically missing out on other attractive investment candidates


To find stocks that might be attractive investment opportunities, I use a 3-stage funnel:

  • Stage 1: Include any stock that could be a fit based on my criteria
  • Stage 2: Quickly exclude any stock from Stage 1 that fails any of my must-have requirements
  • Stage 3: Prioritize the remaining stocks based on quality, valuation and complexity of the investment thesis


So what are the sources of ideas? I use four independent idea generation streams that complement one another:

  • Value Screening
  • High Quality Company Watch-List
  • Special Situations
  • Like-Minded Investors

Check out this video where I cover my idea generation process in-depth:
