“We find these stocks by conducting an investigation each day of the universe of stocks that fit our initial screening criteria, said Thomas Vass, the registered investment advisor who manages the newsletter.
“We have some reasons to believe that these companies are important members of the nine high technology value chains in America,” he added. Almost all of the technological innovation in new products is generated as a result of transactions between the member companies of the value chains.
“Our watch list stocks are good companies in the right high tech industrial value chains in America,” said Vass. “They meet some, but not all, of the rigorous evaluation criteria established by the patent for selecting a stock for investment,”
Companies placed in the Technology Stock Advisor Watch List are monitored on a daily basis for news and financial updates to determine if the screening criteria for entering the next level of monitoring will be met at a future time.
Currently, there are about 400 technology companies being monitored in the TSA Watch List. When a company on the watch list meets all of the screening criteria, they move from the watch list into one of the three active stock lists, A, B, or C, as defined by the quality rating provided Standard & Poor’s, the world’s foremost provider of independent credit ratings, indices, risk evaluation, investment research and data.
“We have a total of about 150 companies that are in the active stock lists,” said Vass. “The patented process used by the Technology Stock Advisor sets buy limits and sell limits on prices, so even if a company is on the active list, its current stock price may not be in the buy range, even if all the other screening criteria are met,” he explained.
The Technology Stock Advisor Newsletter is a related business subsidiary of Vass’ traditional investment management practice where he manages the wealth accounts of investors and retirement accounts.
