Systematic stock analysis

The Ticker Nerd Rank: every US stock, scored daily.

The Ticker Nerd 20 owns the best of them by rule — most of the twenty sit outside the S&P 500, names you almost certainly don’t already own.

The problem

Tired of chasing stocks and feeling a step behind?

Every hot list, price target and urgent headline has a business model behind it. Brokers earn when you trade. Media earns when you watch. None of them earn more when you make money.

And the noise is accelerating: AI can now flood every feed with confident-sounding stock research, free and instantly.

Feeling lost in all of that is not a personal failing. But chasing whatever is loudest fills a portfolio with last year’s winners, bought near their highs.

The way out is a framework — a fixed set of measures for what actually moves stock prices, applied to every stock, every day. That is why the rank exists.

The rank

One number per stock, updated every day.

Each stock scores 0 to 100 on every factor, against the whole market, and the factor scores combine into one number — its rank. The model covers roughly 4,600 US-listed stocks and re-scores them every trading day.

A price tells you what a stock did today. The rank tells you whether the evidence behind it changed.

The factors are not ours — value, momentum, quality and the rest have been tested in the open since the 1970s. The factors, explained plainly

Every rule ran against more than twenty years of market history before it touched money — rules that only work in hindsight fail there. The full methodology, tests and all

A rank says what the evidence favours today — never when to buy, when to sell, or how much to own. That part is the Ticker Nerd 20, whose rules watch the scores daily, trade rarely, and email members whenever the portfolio changes.
