Wanted to ask if anyone using S&P "The Outlook" when picking the stocks?
For exampe S&P Platinum Portfolio
"The Platinum Portfolio potentially offers the best of both S&P Capital IQ’s fundamental STARS ranking system and our roprietary quantitative Fair Value model. For a stock to enter the Platinum Portfolio, it must carry a 5-STARS ranking and a Fair Value Ranking of 5. Stocks remain in the Platinum Portfolio as long as they carry a 5 ranking in either system. Stocks are
removed from the Platinum Portfolio upon losing the top rating in both systems. S&P Capital IQ’s STARS rankings
are based on expected total return potential. Stocks with the five-STARS ranking are expected to outperform the total return of the S&P 500 index by a wide margin over the coming 12 months.
S&P Capital IQ’s Fair Value model employs a proprietary algorithm to calculate the price at which a stock should be trading at
current market levels. Fair Value ranks stocks in five tiers; those with the “5” designation are considered to be the most undervalued and to have the greatest price appreciation potential. Year to date through March 16, the portfolio rose 13.8%, vs. a gain of 11.7% in the S&P 500 on a capital appreciation basis. Since inception through February 29, 2012, the portfolio posted an average annual gain of 10.5%, vs. an average annual gain of 5.5% in the S&P 500 over the same period.
The portfolio was launched on July 28, 1995."
