When the Rules Change, Only the Adaptable Win

Editor’s Note: Markets evolve – sometimes, it’s a crawl… and others, a leap. 

We’re mid-leap right now. Stocks are moving faster, data is flowing wider, and the old playbook just doesn’t cut it anymore.

That’s why Louis Navellier, one of the most accomplished quantitative investors in America, is teaming up with two forward-thinking analysts – Andy and Landon Swan – to introduce “The Ultimate Stock Strategy.”

It combines Louis’ proven Stock Grader model with cutting-edge online sentiment analytics, creating a system designed for this new market environment.

They’ll reveal how it works live on October 28 at 10 a.m. Eastern.

Read on for more on how this next-generation strategy came together – and how to use it to your advantage…

A lot has changed since I launched my first newsletter in 1980.

Back then, investing required patience – and paper.

If you wanted a stock quote, you unfolded The Wall Street Journal or squinted at the fine print in your local paper. To trade, you picked up your landline phone, called your broker, and paid up to $50 for him to execute your trade.

Then you waited for the confirmation slip to arrive in the mail.

There wasn’t much financial media, either. 

CNBC didn’t exist. If you were serious about the markets, you tuned in to Wall $treet Week With Louis Rukeyser on Friday night. Though most didn’t. Only about 1 in 10 Americans owned stocks.

No 24-hour news. No online brokers. No internet. Market data moved by fax, not fiber-optic cable.

Today, that world feels quaint… prehistoric, even.

Stock quotes now refresh by the second. Commissions have fallen from $50 to zero. You can trade anything from your phone before breakfast.

The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s still matter. But news now moves faster – and to more people – than ever before. Nearly the entire flow of market information has migrated online.

Think about it. A single post from President Donald Trump or Elon Musk can send entire markets soaring or plunging in seconds.

And an entirely new group of younger, highly online investors is making its presence felt. In 2021, a wave of Reddit traders sent GameStop Corp. (GME) up more than 1,700% in less than a month, forcing multibillion-dollar hedge funds to scramble to cover their short positions.

The point is: If you’re still investing the old way, you’re flying blind.

Because if you don’t know how to make sense of all that online chatter, someone else will. 

And it’s not always a Wall Street pro. It might be a college kid turning $500 into $80,000 by spotting viral sentiment before the crowd (this actually happened, by the way).

In short, there are powerful new sources of market intelligence out there – but many investors my age haven’t learned how to use them.

Those who do have a serious edge.

That’s why, on October 28 at 10 a.m. Eastern, I’ll reveal a major new use of my Stock Grader model… a fusion of my quantitative stock-picking method with powerful new online data. It’s a breakthrough designed to help you thrive in this new, faster market.

Over that time, Stock Grader and I have found 676 stocks that could have doubled your money or better – including 22 that went up more than 100-fold. 

But this new integration could lead to even more double- and triple-digit stock recommendations. 

More importantly, it could add zeroes to your net worth.

How AI Is Redefining Modern Investing

That’s not to say my “old world” strategy has lost its edge. It’s every bit as powerful as when I first developed it as a grad student in the 1970s.

With the help of a mainframe computer owned by Wells Fargo bank, I built a model portfolio designed to track the S&P 500 using just 320 stocks.

Only it didn’t just track the index – it beat it. 

According to the academic theory of the day, that wasn’t supposed to happen. So I dug deeper, ran the numbers, and found a pattern that changed the course of my career.

Some stocks, I discovered, move independently of the broader market. They have their own rhythm – their own signal. And when you isolate them early, they can deliver outsized returns.

Ever since, I’ve used this insight to build Stock Grader and other quantitative models that have powered some of the most successful investment advisories in America.

It’s helped me deliver returns most investors didn’t think possible – and do it consistently.

Not only have I had success with stock recommendations, but also my mutual funds and ETFs have been ranked #1 by Morningstar and The Wall Street Journal.

And from 1998 to 2024, my Growth Investor advisory service (previously called Blue Chip Growth) more than doubled the average annual return of the S&P 500.

The New York Times even called me an “icon among growth investors” for the impact my quantitative approach has had on Wall Street.

I’m humbled by all of that. But I don’t believe in sitting on my laurels. 

I’m always looking for the next “edge” in the market. 

And I think I found it… 

What comes next could be even more important – for every investor who still believes in adapting to win.
