Founded by academic mathematician Dr. Bart DiLiddo in 1978, VectorVest is a highly developed investment tool that features numerous stock charting and analytical enhancements to help traders manage their portfolios. The system has since been revolutionized and now has the unique ability to track thousands of shares simultaneously and compare them with 20+ years of historical data to return fast and accurate information on current market trends. Its structure is designed to answer three primary questions: what a stock is really worth; how safe a stock is; and whether to buy, sell, or hold that stock.
While monitoring thousands of stockpiles daily, the system calculates two measures of value for each stock in its database. A first measure is Value, the current worth, which is determined by such factors as cash flow, earnings, earnings growth, profitability, inflation, and interest rates. The second measure is Relative Value (RV), which identifies a stock's potential for long-term price growth projected three years out, computed by an analysis that factors in AAA Corporate Bond Rates and risk. There are numerous investment strategies that may be applied to the VectorVest data, but regardless of the strategy and current market conditions, this exceptional tool has proven to consistently return highly accurate and impressive portfolio growth with its clear-cut buy/sell signals.
