Type AOL and press "Analyze..."
I recently demoed this software. As one would expect, it uses a purely objective, quantitative model based upon, among others, corporate interest rates, earnings growth rate, stock price, relative performance, debt level, and yield.
The model is actually quite good and makes some nice calls. The only way a pricey issue like AOL ever receives a BUY recommendation is if it can maintain its upward momentum. As soon as that breaks, the model quickly switches to HOLD and then SELL, or straight to SELL.
Of course, the model doesn't have a clue as to "hype" or "buzz" or "marketing" or "bogus accounting practices" or "potential split announcements" or "earnings release run-ups" or "buy reiterations ad nauseum", but hey, nobody's perfect! |
