**Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway:2000 Annual Report:

"Common yardsticks such as dividend yield, the ratio of price to earnings or to book value, and even growth rates have nothing to do with valuation except to the extent they provide clues to the amount and timing of cash flows into and from the business. Indeed, growth can destroy value if it requires cash inputs in the early years of a project or enterprise that exceed the discounted value of the cash that those assets will generate in later years.
Market commentators and investment managers who glibly refer to growth and value styles as contrasting approaches to investment are displaying their ignorance, not their sophistication. Growth is simply a component--usually a plus, sometimes a minus-- in the value equation."

Stockdiagnostics the Utility!

Professional investors understand that due diligence is vital when making a sound investment. Insurance companies, mutual funds, pension funds and money managers, of all types, including independent individuals rely on research. Time, education and relevant experience are crucial elements to becoming a profitable investor.

Profitable investors possess the resources necessary to filter through the bullish and bearish sides of all trades through the use of different Brokerage Coverage, Research Firms, Investment News' Services, Technical Analysis and most importantly, Quarterly Financial Audit statements filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission.

To make a sound investment, all spectrums of the financial markets from Bonds, Commodities, Real Estate and Equities should be taken into account. The most challenging aspect of managing money is dedicating valuable time to properly make and manage great investments. (note: it's not only entering a trade that is challenging, but it is just as, if not, more challenging to monitor and exit a trade)

The purpose of EQUITIES RESEARCH is to support investment professionals by helping them save time and money, reduce investment risk and increase returns based on thorough, objective fundamental analysis using the Stockdiagnostics.com research tool. (which in itself is very time consuming).

Our Philosophy is a long term, buy and hold approach.

Prior to the due diligence phase, the investor should first start with the fundamentals. ALL our research is based on trailing numbers (financials), and there can be no guarantee of future performance. On the Buy Side, we focus on companies with sound growth, trading at a discount to Cash Flow. Overvalued stocks, with declining growth, trading at premiums to cash flow are flagged on the Sell Side.

Simply put, your day should start with your Equities Research Newsletter. Before you consult the brokerage research, news story sites, research sites and media reports, IT WOULD BE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS TO YOUR SUCCESS if you Just Start with the Equities Research Newsletter and find The Healthiest and Unhealthiest Stocks of the Universe
