The Stock Picking Process

Schaeffer’s utilizes a 3-tiered methodology that they call Expectational Analysis to develop their stock picks. The company’s unique methodology makes its stock picks different from everyone else’s for 2021.

Expectational Analysis looks at sentiment to analyze stocks, sectors, and the overall market. And while investor sentiment looks at the feelings and beliefs of investors to gauge how the market will move, Expectational Analysis takes that a step further by also analyzing contrary indicators. 

These contrary indicators are useful in understanding why, at times, a stock that investors are bullish on ends up declining or vice versa. The expectations surrounding a stock are extremely important in Schaeffer’s use of Expectational Analysis.

Schaeffer’s further explains this concept in “An Introduction to Expectational Analysis” by saying, “a stock with relatively low expectations stands a good chance of rallying, as the price will rise from this artificially low level to one that reflects the ‘real world.’ Conversely, high expectations can put downward pressure on a stock, as the price adjusts itself lower from its unrealistic heights to better match reality.”

Overall, the Expectational Analysis approach demonstrates the importance of sentiment, which has been a notion Founder Bernie Schaeffer has been advocating for since 1981.
