I’ve been in the investing game since the late 1970s, and I have made several big predictions that came true during my 40-plus investing career. Here are a few examples…

• The market collapse of ‘87
• The dot-com bubble burst
• The 2008 Financial Crisis
• The rise of the longest bull market in stock market history – just 10 days before it began

Today I’m here to share another big prediction with you: A $6 trillion cash bubble is poised to burst. And when this happens, it will inject a flashflood of capital into one small corner of the market. And the reality is, most investors won’t grasp the full impact of what’s about to happen until it’s far too late, especially those with a decent chunk of money on the sidelines. This shift has been brewing for a few years now, but it’s only just about to hit its tipping point in the next few months. And when it does, many could see their wealth evaporate. But that’s just one side of the coin. On the other side, wealth will be transferred to those who are “in the know.” I saw the writing on the wall the last time this happened and recommended a string of small-cap stocks that turned out to be the famous FAANG stocks – Meta Platforms, Inc. (META), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Apple Inc. (AAPL), Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) and Alphabet Inc. (GOOG). So, what led me to recommend these stocks?

My Breakthrough Stock-Picking System

It all boils down to a breakthrough stock-picking system I developed 40 years ago… Back in college at Cal State Hayward in the late ’70s, everyone believed it was impossible to beat the market without taking on excessive risk. “Sure,” many said, “some traders can be lucky for a while, but no one can consistently beat the market.” At that time, most investors were content to invest in index funds like the S&P 500. Thankfully, I was taught by a group of open-minded professors who offered me the investing chance of a lifetime. They gave me unprecedented access to Wells Fargo’s mainframe computers to build my very own stock selection models. This was before laptops, so this was a tremendous privilege. With only a calculator and limited access to the computers, I actually started my first newsletter in my dorm room at school. I spent countless hours learning how to read and research market data and built a stock selection model designed to mirror the S&P 500. I worked like an investigator who had to re-enact the crime, generating the precise conditions of the S&P – the same level of risk as the index, and the same industry weighting as the index. But things didn’t turn out as I planned. When I ran the model, my returns came out considerably better than the S&P 500! I was stunned by such results – and naturally determined to get to the root of what happened. What I found was that a select group of stocks consistently outperformed the S&P in my model. These were smaller, supercharged companies that all had certain factors in common.

1. Increasing Sales Growth
2. Expanding Operating Margins
3. Earnings Growth
4. Positive Earnings Momentum
5. Positive Earnings Surprises
6. Positive Earnings Revisions
7. Free Cash Flow
8. Return on Equity

My quant system runs a score on these eight parameters, every week, for more than 6,000 stocks. From there, I’m able to analyze the data at a glance. The most important factors to me are sales growth and earnings growth. Out of all eight fundamental factors, those are the keys.
