9:00–9:50 AM. Doug's Favorite Small-Cap Stocks for 2026-2031 and Why He Likes Them
- It's commonly said that there are strong stock buys in any market but finding them is not always easy! Fortunately, Doug has some ideas for individuals and investment clubs taken from the two market-beating newsletters that he edits. First is the Investor Advisory Service which was named for 16 consecutive years to the "Hulbert Investment Newsletter Honor Roll" and which celebrated its 50th year in 2023. Second is the SmallCap Informer celebrating its 14th year in 2026 with a long-term track record outperforming the small-cap stock indexes.
10:00–10:50 AM. Make Better "Sell" Decisions in Your Portfolio
- Using the SSG (Stock Selection Guide) and other BI (BetterInvesting) tools, it is possible to determine "optimal" buy and sell prices. Unfortunately those prices often don't provide enough justification by themselves to make a confident decision. Stocks can lanquish in the "maybe" zone. Weak company fundamentals make a stock appear to be too cheap to pass up. Stocks that have been huge price run-ups may be approaching their sell prices on the SSG but still can be prudently held in a portfolio. With a better understanding of the five different levels of valuation, investors can make better decisions aout handling the under-, over-, or hyper-valued stocks in their portfolio.
11:00–11:50 AM. Stock Selection Guide (SSG) Blunders, Bungles & Bloopers
- This will be a survey of startlingly common mistakes made by both experienced and beginner investors when analyzing stocks. See examples of what NOT to do when using the SSG (Stock Selection Guide) to examine companies for your portfolio.
12:00–1:00 PM. BetterInvesting Resources, Model Club Portfolio, and Door Prizes (Craig Braemer)
