Numbers are King, but other factors at play
This book provided an excellent overview of successful growth investing; but, while providing broad strokes, the book seems primarily focused on selling further services from Mr. Navellier. I share Mr. Navellier's love of numbers, but I wish there were further information on the exact forumlas used so I could replicate the calculations on my own...unless he is personally screening each of the 5000 stocks each day.
I tried to sign up for the given website and I have trial access, but have yet to receive credentials to sign on as a member--after two attempts and two weeks later. I have received all of the solicitations to purchase investing newletters though--from $200 to over $1000 per year or more.
Mr. Navellier is one of the few investors who beats the S&P 500 according to the Hulbert Report, but what if I invested that $1000 per year instead of purchasing the newsletter? If I invest $1000 for 20 years at a growth of 12% a year, $20,000 becomes $90,000 in a no load index fund--discounting taxes and other fees...I feel free to discount as Mr. Navellier does it in his advertisements.
The positives of the book are as follows:
1. It gets you excited about returns
2. It makes a good case for growth investing.
3. It is well written.
4. Mr. Navellier has demonstrated he is one of the few money managers to consistently beat the S&P 500
The negatives:
1. No exact way to replicate results on your own, you need the "free" website to do that.
2. The constant reminders that Mr. Navellier's newsletters were successful, if only you had purchased one...
