Louis Navellier is the Editor of the Marketmail (Navellier.com) newsletter. Louis Navellier has been dedicated to finding and exploiting inefficiencies in the market since 1980, using a disciplined quantitative analysis system to discover stocks that should significantly outperform the overall market over the long term. There are three steps in his "bottom up" stock selection process for Private Account Portfolios.

• Quantitative analysis of market and individual stock statistics. Louis Navellier utilizes a proprietary computer screen that calculates risk and return indicators for over 9,000 stocks. These stocks are then sorted and evaluated on a reward/risk ratio basis. Only approximately 5% of the 9,000 total pass the first step.

• Analysis of the underlying fundamentals associated with the stocks that passed step one. Typically, these stocks are best characterized as companies with exceptional profit margins, excellent earnings growth and reasonable price/earnings ratios, based on expected future earnings. Moreover, these companies often tend to be special situation companies with market niches.

• A stock-allocation process that uses quadratic modeling techniques. Essentially, after screening to find stocks that pass both the quantitative (step 1) and fundamental (step 2) criteria, Louis Navellier utilizes an asset-allocation model to structure well balanced, diversified portfolios.

By the time Navellier.com structures their portfolios, only approximately the top 1/2 - 1% of the more than 9,000 stocks in the database make the cut.

Navellier Securities Corp. also offers various mutual funds, for investors seeking aggressive participation in the equity markets, looking for long-term growth, want a fund suitable for a retirement account, or those who are a consultant, pension professional, or trustee seeking to provide capital appreciation for investments.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
