US Investment Report: In a Nutshell

I'm Steve Quickel, editor of US Investment Report since its startup in 1985. I am delighted that you want to know more about us and how we serve growth-oriented investors who like to call their own shots.

Here, in a nutshell, is what you'll get in each twice-monthly issue of USIR and our weekly hotline updates.

Timely ideas are my stock-in-trade. Sent your way in a steady flow of stock picks and portfolio recommendations. Presented in a logical easy-to-follow format. Backed by supporting data to help you make well-reasoned, risk-averse decisions.

My strategic objectives are clear-cut--to help investors maximize long-term growth and minimize risk. To accomplish these twin goals, I focus strictly on:

• Stocks of market share leaders in rapid growth industries
• Stocks with superior long-term earnings potential and unrecognized value
• Concentrated portfolios protected by disciplined defensive safeguards.

These principles, applied through up and down markets, have enabled USIR to outperform the market for many years--including the following annualized returns for our model portfolios during the past five years.

Wealth of Fresh Ideas

I publish my advice in a user-friendly five-part format, jargon-free and with an emphasis on clarity:

• Market Commentary – what you need to know about the market
• Growth Portfolios – what I’m buying and selling now, and how I’m performing
• Recommended List – buy/sell/hold ratings, target prices, and loss limits on my 50 to 75 favorite stocks
• New Recommendations – my newest stock picks and why you should consider buying them
• Valuation Watch – price, P/E and PEG trends of stocks I think are compelling bargains.

Three High-performance Model Portfolios

For my subscribers, I manage three model portfolios under closely simulated real-time conditions.

I execute transactions at prevailing market prices on specified dates. Purchases are announced in advance so subscribers can emulate them. Stop-loss limits are set for every stock and executed as triggered by market action.

Each portfolio is concentrated in 12 to 15 leading growth stocks. All three consistently outpaced the market in both bullish and bearish times. Click here for a detailed report on the USIR investment track record since 1987.

Subscribers can follow one portfolio or mix-and-match from all three. The portfolios are:

• Growth Leaders Portfolio – A multi-cap portfolio of competitive leaders in industries that can sustain 15+% yearly earnings gains.
• Conservative Growth Portfolio – Large-cap “growth and value” stocks capable of double-digit long-term earnings and trading at moderate prices.
• Emerging Growth Portfolio – Small, mid-cap and emerging leaders in rapid-growth sectors. All stocks have positive earnings and a minimum 15% annual projected growth.

Proven Long-Term Strategy

To boost returns while controlling risk, I focus on leading growth stocks. Here’s why:

• These companies control product development, pricing and distribution in the fastest growing industries.
• They have strong profit margins, rapid and consistent earnings gains, and resistance to downturns.

Independent Stock Selection

Recent experience taught investors to avoid overvalued momentum stocks and to view Wall Street research with skepticism.

US Investment Report has always been an independent publication free of ties to investment banks, brokerages and any other companies. My recommendations are based solely on my own research.
