Editorial reviews
Review
“Your Next Great Stock makes a clear and persuasive case for a systematic investment strategy. Though simply written, both amateurs and professionals can profit greatly from the wisdom revealed in its pages.”―Joel Greenblatt, author, The Little Book That Beats the Market”Jack Hough has written a thoughtful and disciplined book about picking stocks. In an age where most people look for the quick buck, his commonsense approach will outlive bull and bear markets alike.”―Jonathan Hoenig, Portfolio Manager, Capitalistpig Hedge Fund LLC and Fox News personality
“Hough has put together an easy read that’s actually fun. Most of the book focuses on why stock screening works, while the last half of the book helps the reader put together some stock screens of their own.”–Stockpunk.com
“The book covers some fairly challenging concepts, but it doesn’t read like a dry academic study. That’s a testament not just to Mr. Hough’s knack for explaining arcane financial concepts in everyday language, but also to his sense of humour; it’s not often that you find an investing author who spent year doing standup comedy in New York.”–Globe and Mail
From the Inside Flap
Tomorrow’s winning stocks are already leaving signals today. The most successful investors don’t rely on chance to spot them — they use stock screening to scan the entire market in seconds and uncover those hidden clues. In Your Next Great Stock, author Jack Hough demonstrates how to apply this proven method to identify shares with strong potential to outperform.
Too often, investors focus on companies one at a time, leaning on secondhand tips or anecdotal advice from friends and advisors. This piecemeal approach rarely produces consistent results. Your Next Great Stock introduces a smarter system — one that lets you evaluate far more opportunities in less time and uncover undervalued gems before the crowd notices.
Written in a clear, approachable style, the book presents a detective-like approach to stock investing. By leveraging stock screening, you’ll learn how to interpret signals that point to where a company — and its stock — might be headed. Hough also reveals which combinations of clues have historically led to the strongest performers.
Organized into four parts, Your Next Great Stock:
- Explains the core principles of stock investing and screening
- Showcases more than a dozen proven screening methods — from the Impatient Value strategy to the Follow the Leaders approach — adapted from some of the sharpest financial minds
- Teaches how to narrow down your screening results to identify the most promising picks
- Highlights today’s best tools for stock screening, many of which are free or low-cost
- And much more
Packed with useful insights and step-by-step guidance, Your Next Great Stock is ideal for both beginners and seasoned investors who want to move beyond outdated advice from brokers or colleagues. With this resource as your roadmap, you’ll see how fact-driven investing and modern screening technology can help you achieve lasting profits.
