Or do you own stocks that will get crushed in a panic?
Let's be honest: Only a fool would try to predict the date of the next market crash.
But it's ALWAYS a good time to rid your portfolio of weak stocks that just don't make the grade.
When the bear comes calling, he'll strike the weakest stocks first, and saddle their shareholders with the biggest losses.
What's more, when the bull is in control, these stocks will lag behind the market.
They may even lose you money while other stocks are soaring to new heights.
Get rid of them now, before it's too late.

Did You Avoid the Biggest Losers
of the Last Market Meltdown?
As much as you'll like TheStreet Quant Ratings on the upside, you'll LOVE it when the markets are cratering.
When panic is high and you've got the urge to sell everything, Quant Ratings objective opinion of the stocks you own are invaluable.
They'll help you jettison weak stocks that must go, but also prevent you from throwing quality babies out with the bathwater.
Just look at how Quant Ratings did during the 2008 meltdown.
As you probably remember, stocks started drifting lower early in 2008, and then the real pain came in late summer.
But Quant Ratings identified stocks in mortal danger before they cratered:
- Washington Mutual was downgraded to Sell on Jan 18, 2008
- Wachovia Corp was downgraded to Sell on July 22, 2008
- Merrill Lynch was downgraded to Sell on July 3, 2008
As you may remember, all three of these companies were acquired in fire sales before going bankrupt as the global financial system faced its most serious threat since the Great Depression.
These are just a few of the scores of stocks that ruined unsuspecting investors in that stock market crash. While many investors who missed Quant Ratings' sell signals lost millions, Quant Ratings helped investors just like you avoid big losses.
Of course, Quant Ratings didn't predict the global meltdown, and it certainly won't call out every losing stock, but its uncanny ability to pinpoint stocks with significant weaknesses in their balance sheet or other fundamental indicators is truly impressive.
And Quant Ratings doesn't just work in bear markets—it identifies weak stocks at all times.
Even when the market is going up!
There are plenty of Chicken Littles out in the investor community, and I don't want to add to their misinformation and doom-saying.
But I also don't want to see a repeat of the billions lost by investors in the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
If another crash does occur, Quant Ratings early warnings on the weakest stocks to avoid will once again save investors billions.
You should be one of them.
Short the Worst Stocks or Buy The Best—
TheStreet Quant Ratings Crushes the S&P500 Either Way! | | | | | | | |  | | If this is the first time you're hearing about TheStreet Quant Ratings, you can rest assured that this is no academic model that looks good on paper, and then fails to deliver in the real world.
For over 10 years, Quant Ratings has been used by major brokerage houses to provide stock research to their clients.
But now, this award-winning research tool is available to members and friends of TheStreet.
An in-depth study by Investars of Quant Ratings predictive powers showed that this system excels across all types of stocks, and in bull or bear markets.
For instance, for the five-year period ending 12/31/12, owning the S&P500 Index would have given you a total return of 8.5%.
But if you cherry-picked only the best stocks in the S&P 500—those stocks rated a "Buy" by Quant Ratings—your total return would have been 14%.
And if you like shorting weak stocks, you'll love Quant Ratings.
Over the last 5 years, the S&P500 gained 8.5%. But if you shorted Quant Ratings' "Sell"-rated stocks, you gained 119.2%!
(By the way, if you like small stocks, our system dominates there, too. The Russell 2000 Index's return of 19.9% over the last 5 years was OK, but buying the Russell 2000 stocks rated "Buy" by Quant Ratings was even better—those stocks were up 33.8%.)

In 2004, the agency contracted by the SEC and various state attorneys general in the Wall Street research settlement need to choose research providers to balance out Wall Street's biased coverage. It chose TheStreet Quant Ratings stock ratings more often than the ratings offered by any other rating agency in the country.
Since 2009, the ConvergEx Group has awarded its "Jaywalk Award" each quarter to the independent research provider with the most accurate research recommendations.
And since that time, TheStreet Quant Ratings has proven to be a consistent winner:
Oct 2007 market peak to end of Feb. 2009
— Best Stock Selection
First Half of 2009 — Director's Choice Award
Q2 2010 — Best Bearish Stock Selection
Q3 2010 — Best Bearish Stock Selection
Q4 2010 — Best Bearish Stock Selection
Q2 2011 — Best Bearish Stock Selection
Q3 2011 — Best Bullish Stock Selection
And in 2012, this system won the Independent Research Provider Performance Award for "exceptional investment recommendations that have proven to be enormously valuable to clients during these uncertain times."

Now, through this special offer, Quant Ratings can be yours. Once you start using it to fine-tune your portfolio, you'll wonder how you ever invested without it.
TheStreet Quant Ratings
Conquers Your Toughest Foe—Your Own Emotions
Countless studies of investor behavior have proven one thing—investors are their own worst enemy! They are too greedy when the market is riding high and too afraid when stocks are down and risks are low.
TheStreet Quant Ratings data-driven approach takes emotion out of the decision-making process and allows you to focus on what's most important:
- Owning the strongest stocks, and
- Buying them at the right time
This is especially important with Quant Ratings buy signals.
As you probably guessed, in order to beat the S&P handily over the last 5 years, Quant Ratings was literally able to identify thousands of stocks that beat the market averages handily.
I certainly don't have space to list them all here, but there's simply no better way for me to share with you how powerful the Quant Ratings algorithm can be than to give you a couple of examples.
These are by no means the biggest winners identified by Quant Ratings, but they demonstrate how the system is not only accurate, it is subtle and even contrarian, at times.
It can not only detect stocks about to escape long periods of sideways action with a powerful move higher, it can also ferret out which stocks that have already made a big advance will keep on climbing.
For instance,
 | Quant Ratings upgraded Google to Buy from Hold on April 30, 2009, when it closed at $395.97. With the stock market just beginning to rally after the financial meltdown, this was nearly the perfect time to buy. The stock sold for $395.97 that day and trades over $850 today.
| | | Sirius XM Radio was another powerful example of Quant Ratings accuracy. The stock had climbed more than tenfold from $0.13 to $1.76 on December 14, 2011 when Quant Ratings upgraded it to a buy. The system was proven right—it's almost doubled again in the last 18 months.
| | | Even before new CEO Marissa Mayer took over at Yahoo!, Quant Ratings spotted a good value. It upgraded YHOO to buy on October 24, 2011. From its $16.71 level then, it's risen to over $27 today.
| Of course, any system that evaluates thousands of stocks every day isn't perfect.
Now, there are plenty of examples where Quant Ratings missed a great stock or rated a bad one too highly.
But after you compile all the great and not-so-great picks, and add in the HUGE benefit you'll get from using Quant Ratings to prevent poor emotion-driven decisions that can cost you big-time, you'll be left with system that can give you an undeniable boost over what you're doing now.
All The Tools You Need to Win
If you agree with me that the simplest path to greater investing success is owning the best stocks and avoiding the worst, you simply must join TheStreet Quant Ratings.
 Quant Ratings algorithms have proven up to the task in bull markets, bear markets and everything in between.
So I'd like to invite you to join Quant Ratings now, through this special charter membership offer.
When you do, you'll receive:
 Stunning Real-Time Research
Quant Ratings is superior to so many other stock ratings services for two simple reasons:
Breadth: Quant Ratings covers the waterfront—4,300 stocks are rated. Large caps, mid caps, small caps, ADRs, you'll find them all.
Freshness: Quant Ratings is updated every day, so you're never in doubt where your favorite stocks stack up. For every stock we cover, you can receive an in-depth, up-to-date 5-page research report any time you desire.
Hard-Core Stock Analysis
Quant Ratings uses its state-of-the-art algorithmic and quantitative computer model to evaluate every stock on 32 different data factors. Its model sifts through income statements, cash flow data, balance sheet metrics, valuation, volatility and much more.
The result? A single letter grade from A+ to F, derived equally from risk and reward metrics that tells you how much total return potential the stock has for the next 12 months.
Actionable Alerts
Quant Ratings members get the first briefing on all stocks our system is about to upgrade or downgrade. As a member, you'll always know first when it's time to make a change.
Powerful Predictive Power
Quant Ratings track record is superior because it tries (and succeeds!) to identify the very few elite stocks that have it all—both high returns AND low volatility.
Flawed screening systems fall into two camps.
Either they are too hot—overvaluing high growth and accepting dangerously high volatility. .Or they are too cold—overly risk-averse and putting too much emphasis on controlling volatility and not enough on generating superior returns.
Like Goldilocks' favorite porridge, Quant Ratings is just right.
Ratings More Honest and Accurate Than the Major Brokerages
When N.Y. Attorney General Elliott Spitzer forced Wall Street to provide alternative sources of independent research to their clients, many Wall Street firms chose Quant Ratings to satisfy the requirement.
Imagine their embarrassment when our "alternative" ratings proved more accessible, more honest and compiled a better track record of pinpointing stocks to buy and sell!
Wall Street claims it has cleaned up its act, but it still has glaring blind spots.
For example, most big-name Wall Street firms will do almost anything to avoid issuing a Sell rating on a stock. A recent study by FactSet Research of the major brokers showed that a ridiculous 96% of all stocks were rated Buy or Hold!
Really? Just four out of every 100 stocks are no good?
You and I both know this is ridiculous.
Get Quant Ratings if you want the real story—21% of our ratings are Sells, and you should dump those stocks immediately daily basis by 32 different data factors, and boils each stock down to a single letter grade from A+ to F.
