Best Stocks Now ap
I learn about stocks everywhere I go: On the streets. At the store. Watching TV.
I needed good information about a stocks performance and its prospects at my fingertips. But everything else was too complicated. Or the information was not good enough.
That’s why I created the Best Stocks Now app. Now when I see the long lines at Ross Stores, I can use the Best Stocks Now app to see that Ross is not just a good store, it is a good stock.
I created the Best Stocks Now App because no other financial news app gave me the information I wanted. When I wanted it. How I wanted it.
And now it is a Top 10 Best Selling ap in the World!
Here are two of the reasons why: In April and May or 2013, I wrote about how the Ap picked two stocks as my top pick in the market. The next week, both were the biggest gainers for that day.
Now when I see the members of the President’s Jobs Council on TV news talk about what they are going to do to help create jobs, I check their record with their companies. In talked about that on Fox Business: Members of the President’s Jobs Council have dismal records on creating jobs and growth in their own companies.
It is amazing how many people use the Best Stocks Now app for that reason alone: Deciphering financial news.
But the Best Stocks Now app is a tool for investors. Whether you manage your own or you use the services of someone like Gunderson Capital Management, the Best Stocks Now app gives you my ratings and other information to make you a better investor.
Here’s what one of our Best Stocks Now users says:
“I can say so far after a month Mr. Bills app for best stocks now has really open my eyes. I am not sure what settings you have programmed to pick the stocks, but PLEASE do NOT change the way the app is picking stock. “
And it is easy to use. Here’s how we help:
THE PROBLEM:
Value investors ignore momentum.
Momentum investors ignore value.
I have found that Momentum plus Value is a very powerful combination!
In addition to this, it is a fact that stocks have life-cycles.
Cisco is way beyond its prime.
GE is a stodgy old stock of yesteryear.
I want to own the Best Stocks Now.
THE SOLUTION
Every day I rank almost 3,000 stocks, ETF’s, and closed-end funds.
I want the best performing stocks in the market.
I also want stocks that still have a lot of upside potential.
I begin by analyzing short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term (where possible) performance of a stock.
I assign each stock a proprietary, momentum grade, and overall performance grade.
I update earnings estimates (where possible) daily and calculate my own 5 year target price on the stocks that I follow.
I use the same valuation formula that I used as a stock analyst.
eps est. x multiple = target price
I also like to see how the stock fared during the 2008 market sell-off.
I combine these three factors into an overall Gunderson Grade.
That is what I use when I appear in Forbes or Barron’s or Fox business or Bloomberg. Easy information, right at my fingertips.
When it comes to growth stocks, I only consider stocks that have a grade of A- or better.
This represents the top 7-8% of the entire market. These are stocks often over-looked in the financial media. Some are little known and ignored.
Others are well known and discounted far too much. On November 28, 2011, I wrote in MarketWatch about the “cheapest quality growth stock in the entire market.”
Other analysts were saying the stock had a nice run, but after reaching record highs, this stocks day was done. And it was time to sell or look elsewhere for high growth.
That stock was Apple. It was trading at $363. Ten months later, Apple is at $680. I sold AAPL at $630. And everyone with the Best Stocks Now ap could see it.
I used the Best Stocks Now app for that — and other opportunities. Especially when I am writing regular columns for MarketWatch, TheStreet.com, Seeking Alpha, and other financial and news publications.
Another user of the Best Stocks Now app says:
Bill — Have been listening to your radio show for about 9 mos. Got your Newsletter a few mos ago and now the app– what great tools. Your grading system makes more sense than anything I have come across– The proof is in the pudding – even the last couple “down days” in the market with a mix of your grade A and B stocks, I have been up significantly, love core labs, terra nitrogen, apple etc. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. Mel
When it comes to income-oriented investments, I like to own positions that are ranked B+ or better.
How important is it to know where the Best Stocks Now are on a daily basis?
It is absolutely vital!
It is also important to be out of the worst areas of the market.
Commodity related stocks rise when the dollar falls.
Emerging markets submerge when the dollar rises.
The app will point you in the right direction during the various market cycles.
My database is divided up by risk profile and market capitalization.
Are you an aggressive growth investor?
Then let’s invest in the very best aggressive growth stocks that we can find.
We usually find such stocks in the small-cap arena.
I like to have about 25 on my roster.
Are you a moderate or conservative growth investor?
These stocks are generally found amongst the mid-caps and large-cap stocks.
Let’s find the very best ones to fill up our roster.
There is no room for has-beens or unproven rookies. I avoid mediocrity like the plague. Sorry General Electric!
Are you more interested in income investing? I like a little growth along with my income where possible.
Let’s find the very best growth and income stocks.
Even with highly rated stocks, I still let the chart help me with my entry point.
I don’t like buying extended stocks and I don’t like buying dead stocks.
I like to buy good stocks when they pull back or break out.
Once I own my stocks, I check them every day.
I would love to own them for a long time, but this is obviously not always possible. Apple is a great example: Its still a great company. Just not a great stock. Not now.
I check the momentum and performance grade daily.
I check the valuation grade daily.
I check the overall grade daily.
If my stock starts to drop in rank, it is a warning sign.
Lastly and most importantly, I check a one-year chart daily.
I do not like trend breaks.
I do not like the formation of descending tops.
I do not like bad news on a similar in the same neighborhood.
I do not like bad news on my stock.
I use the Best Stocks Now app to help me stay current.
While I strive to own a stock for months and even years, I am not afraid to move on when I feel it is appropriate.
I do my best to keep the best stocks in my portfolio at all times.
The Best Stocks Now App will be an invaluable tool in helping you to create and manage your portfolio.
Bill, you have the best financial newsletter I have ever read. I love the graphics! Keep up the good work. Bob
It may really surprise you as to where the Best Stocks Now are!
So try the free demo now.
It seems to me that Bill Drives UP the price of Stocks Artificially, since bunch of folks Dive in and Buy Up the Stock … so, if he has a Position on a Stock at $15 and he is able to move it uo to $#0, $40 or even Higher … now he is double Winner, by 1) Driving Up the Stock and 2) by Selling you an App.
Z!
How do I “pump up” the past performance of a stock? It was what it is. I am not trying to sell you anything. I am trying to point you to the Best Stocks Now! You can lead a horse to water……..

Bill, the “Search by Stock Symbol” function does not work on my Android phone. The search entry box comes up, but I don’t get a keyboard!
BSN version 1.9
Android version 2.3.6
Try using a different keyboard.

The APP is acting like I still have the lite version even though I paid for the annual subscription. There doesn’t seem to be an account maintenance page to check my subscription status. Also, no place to post a support question? How do I know that I have the full version? Where do I go for questions?
Is the App available for Android and PC or only Mac/IPad?
04-17-13. It doesn’t appear the rankings were updated last night. Some not for days.
Bill – Checking in yet again – any updates on making BSN historical data available?
Thx.
Yes, I noticed that the other day. Very helpful.
Can you still send a file with past data, so I can backtest? The only way to do this is with historical data. . Having only current rankings,plus last wk, last mo, etc is useful but unfortunately not quite the same.
Thx
Checking in again – any updates on getting BSN historical data?
We now show the rankings on he app at intervals starting from one day ago all the way back to one year ago.
Bill Gunderson
Just checking on the status of getting historical data in Excel format. Any progress?
Thx!
Is the app avail for an iPad? I thought it was but can ‘t find the iPad version on iTunes
Would it be possible to get that historical ranking data, if only for 1 yr, in addition to the graphing?
Doesn’t have to be daily, although that would be ideal. Wkly would’ve fine.
What format do you want it in? Excel or PDF?
BG
Understood re: using A stocks as a sole strategy.
My question left out mention of using this data in conjunction with other criteria, and it should have.
Still – Would any historical data be avail on sector, asset class or stock rankings, say, for the 1st of the month for the past few years, or however far it goes back? I don’t mind doing the research but my only method now would be to record monthly data going fwd. I need a universe of rankings. Any way this data was time stamped and saved, even if monthly,?
We have been saving historical rankings and grade data. We are planning on adding a graph of historical grades soon. WE have about one year of data right now-maybe a little more.
Bill Gunderson
The Strategy of buying A or A+ stocks and holding them til they’re no longer A or A+ – - does anyone have historical data so this can be backtested?
There is no such strategy. The app is meant to point investors to the what I consider to be the Best Stocks Now. There are about 250-400 A- or better rated stocks on a daily basis that are candidates. Human decison making is still necessary in choosing from amongst them. Things like risk tolerance, market conditions, and technical patterns are still a big part of that process.
It would be an interesting study to do. The app has not been around long enough to do any kind of study like that yet. Sounds like a good project for an intern.
I would recommend that you start following the A- or better stocks and watch how they behave vs. the so-called duds in the market.
The app is a tool for narrowing down the search from amongst a sea of candidates.
Bill Gunderson
I see from the previous comments that you have been working on a PC version of the Best Stocks Now App. I thought I would see if that is still in the plan and if you have a release date
What is the status of the PC/Windows version of the app?
Should be ready soon. i have put one of my assistants (Craig Munson) in charge of putting the finishing touches on this project. You can email him at Craig@pwstreet.com for updates

MUST READ: Anyone reading this, I am not paid or asked to promote Mr. Bill’s site. I found him on the web as I was trying to learn the market and glad I did. No joke, on day back in August a stock hit the app as #1 but in a short time it was gone, so I was confussed and called Mr.Bills number late that night to see why. He took time to called me back early the next day to explain why he removed the stock of his list. The point is he cares and will scan the picks daily and that means a lot to me. You will not go wrong over all with his picks. I wish I could met you Mr.Bill to shake your hand.
Thanks, David
WOW you used a comment in your page above I said in August. Thanks I mean it, Mr. Bill is great. How do you play real low volume stocks like PVD? That has been #1 for days and I will not get in, because I am worried on volume getting in and out.

I can say so far after a month Mr. Bills app for best stocks now has really open my eyes. I am not sure what settings you have programmed to pick the stocks, but PLEASE do NOT change the way the app is picking stock. Thank you Mr. Bill for over the picks too. Trust me I hope there are others out there that will say for the first time I found something here worth buying. I would love to have an app like yours Mr. Bill to pass to my young children when they get older. I will let everyone know how it works out for me in the future. I really dream and am working hard to save and make money so I do not have to work to almost 80 yrs old as my late grandfather.THANKS Mr. Bill for the call a few days ago when the app picked a reverse split and you deleted it. I have respect for you for taking time out of your scheldule to call a middle class family man as myself. I am now a true fan and hope to get all my stock info from you. God Bless and I hope one day to have enough money to let you manage some for my children. THANKS THANKS and THANKS to you and your staff, David
When will the new version be available on Android?
IT IS NOW AVAILABLE. A few bugs to work out however.
BG
I purchased a year’s subscription to Best Stocks Now App for my iPod. It no longer works on this device because it requires iOS 4.3 software.
Is a fix underway?
You will need to update the software on your iPod.
Bill Gunderson
I have used your app and newsletter for most of 2012 and I am very pleased with your methodology and philosophy. My approach for many years is very similar to your grading process summarized in the app. I have been waiting all year for the app to be available as a PC based tool. You have noted in past posts that it is in the works. What is the status?
Unfortunately, it is still in the works.
Bill Gunderson
Will, I am working with a software engineer to get this project done. It is very close. I have given him a two week deadline. If it is not available in two weeks, i have a back up engineer that will get it done.
BG
Great! How will its availability be announced?
Just checking on the PC based app availability. Any progress?
None lately. The app works great on a smartphone or tablet
bg
I just subscribed to your App, but noticed “asset allocation” not a choice in the sector section…is there an updated version that includes this in the sector allocation? And if so, how do I update the version I have on my IPad?
That section is coming in the next update which should be released in a couple weeks.
Bill Gunderson
Should I buy now or wait until spring 2013 after a pull back?
Buy the app now. Buy A+ and A stocks when they drop out of the A’s sell and buy another etc. I do not have a lot of money as most people do not, so at the end of August I only bought his #1 picks then when they dropped from #1 top dog I sold etc. Yes in a few weeks I made over 11%. App has PVD stock now, it is a good stock, but low volume I will not jump on it. The last few weeks while I was waiting on another #1 A+ with good volume I tried to do my on thing, just to fail and lose some of my gains. So I wised up a few days ago and bought AZZ, ODFL, and OSIS and when they drop down I will sell them and buy more A ranked stock. I did take some of my extra money and buy DG while it was 16% below 52 week high. I have a feeling DG will move back up in the ranks. But go with Mr. Bills app keep them in the A’s and over the course you should be A okay. Mr.Bill please chime in with your thoughts.
Thanks, David
THANKS.
Bill G:
dont know if my comment got out or not. Looking foreward to your pc version coming out. Ron T.
