About this ebook

The must-read summary of Mitch Zacks' book: "Ahead of the Market: The Zacks Method for Spotting Stocks Early – In Any Economy".

This complete summary of the ideas from Mitch Zacks' book "Ahead of the Market" shows that many investors rely on annual analyst reports, which are designed to advise which stocks to buy/ sell or hold. However, despite the fact that over $1 billion a year is put towards these reports, this summary sides with many other investors in thinking that a lot of the content is corrupt and biased in favor of the companies that fund them. This guide suggests that rather than following one report; you should combine the research compiled by a larger sample of analysts. This will teach you to identify certain patterns in what the analysts say and how their views change over time. You will then be better informed and be able to develop a better method for making smart investments. To this end, this summary offers four key analyst investment strategies to follow. 

Added-value of this summary: 
• Save time 
• Understand the key concepts
• Increase your business knowledge 

To learn more, read "Ahead of the Market" and discover how to spot winning stocks, and steer clear of untrustworthy analyst reports.

    Book Abstract

    MAIN IDEA

    Every year, Wall Street brokerage firms employ more than 3,000 analysts who are paid in excess of $1 billion to write research reports on various stocks which their companies follow, and to make recommendations as to which stocks to buy and which stocks to sell.

This may be an oversimplification which is costing individual investors dearly.

    So what’s a better way to use these research reports as part of an investment strategy? Rather than simply following the buy/sell/hold recommendations made by each analyst, a better approach is to take a big picture perspective and combine the research generated by a large number of analysts. By tracking how this pool of analysts as a whole change their earnings forecasts and recommendations over time, you have a much better rationale for making intelligent investment decisions. In other words, by combining the work of a large number of analysts rather than picking out one or two gurus to follow, you have a much better chance of getting your timing right and making sound decisions ahead of the market.
