<b>Praise for Finding #1 STOCKS</b> <p>"You are only as good as the stocks you trade. You can be the best professional trader in the world, but if you are in the wrong stocks, you will not make money. Here, Kevin Matras helps you find a system for finding the best stocks for you to improve your trading game."—MIKE BELLAFIORE Cofounder of SMB Capital and author of <i>One Good Trade</i></p> <p>"After thirty-seven years in the technical analysis world, I have read almost every book on the subject of investing. Many are great, some are horrible, and most fall in the category of 'it had some good points, but probably not a full book's worth.' I found Matras' book to be exceptional in its thoroughness of process while offering all investors a methodology based upon sound principles and reason. This is a book every investor should read. The chapter devoted to classical chart patterns was worth the cost of the book alone."—GREGORY L. MORRIS Chairman, Investment Committee, and Chief Technical Analyst, Stadion Money Management, and author of <i>Candlestick Charting Explained and The Complete Guide to Market Breadth Indicators</i></p> <p>"As a devoted chartist, I confess I wasn't sure what I would think of a book dedicated to fundamental analysis. Having read <i>Finding #1 Stocks</i>, though, I'm convinced of its value. This volume takes topics that have every right to be complex and makes them easy to use and understand. The Zacks name has been one of the consistent brands in this industry for many years, and once you've finished reading <i>Finding #1 Stocks</i>, you'll understand what makes the Zacks Ranking system tick and how it can make a big difference in your trading."—TIM KNIGHTauthor of <i>Chart Your Way to Profits</i> and founder of Prophet Financial Systems</p> <p>"I've successfully used Zacks for years as a stock screening tool. <i>Finding #1 Stocks</i> is a terrific explanation of how the Zacks Ranking system works and how it can be used by everyday investors to outperform the market. Even if you don't use Zacks, the book provides an easy-to-understand, step-by-step method for identifying and investing in high-potential stocks. This is a great, commonsense guide for everyday investors."—JEFF HIRSCHEditor and President, <i>Stock Trader's Almanac</i></p>
