Investor Workflow

A practical path for deciding whether a stock deserves action today: identify the market event, map which stocks are exposed, check timing risk, verify fundamentals, then choose buy, watch, trim, or avoid.

Decision Path

Step 1

What Changed?

Start with macro, rates, inflation, earnings, legal risk, sector pressure, and broad market stress. Separate real catalysts from ordinary headlines.

Scan events

Step 2

Which Stocks?

Map the event to affected sectors and tickers. Compare day move, valuation, 52-week range, P/E, ROE, and balance-sheet context.

Open US stocks

Step 3

Timing Risk

Check earnings distance, peer reports, macro releases, and news damage. Avoid full-size entries near binary events.

Run guardrails

Step 4

Entry Setup

Look for a quality stock down on macro or sector pressure, not broken fundamentals. Prefer stabilization over catching a falling knife.

Review dips

Step 5

Final Research

Open the ticker workspace for headlines, financials, analyst context, chart, notes, and your final decision record.

Open workspace

Buy Candidate

EventBroad market or sector pressure, not company-specific damage.

QualityROE 15%+, debt controlled, revenue growth intact, valuation reasonable for growth.

TimingNo earnings or major macro binary immediately ahead; price is curling or stabilizing.

Watch Candidate

EventMixed headlines, unclear sector read-through, or macro event inside the next few days.

SetupFundamentals look fine, but price has not confirmed a turn yet.

NextSet an alert, wait for earnings, support hold, RSI recovery, or headline confirmation.

Avoid / Trim Candidate

DamageGuidance cut, legal probe, dilution, customer loss, debt stress, or thesis-breaking news.

ValuationP/E priced for perfection while growth or margins are slowing.

TimingBinary event is too close, sector contagion is active, or the stock is still breaking down.

Simple Rule

Do not ask “is this stock cheap?” first. Ask: what moved the market, which stocks are exposed, is the company still fundamentally intact, is the timing clean, and is the chart showing stabilization. Cheap without context can be a trap; quality plus a clean macro dip is the setup worth studying.

StockIQ Philosophy

Our plain-English investing philosophy: know what you own, respect valuation, prepare before panic, and wait for quality businesses at prices that make sense.

Core Thesis

A great company is not automatically a great investment. The return you get is shaped by the price you pay, the assumptions baked into that price, and whether you are prepared before the market gives you a better opportunity.

Great Business ≠ Great PriceAI, rockets, software, and dominant brands can be real while the stock still prices in too much future success.

Know What You OwnIndex funds can hide mega-cap concentration, especially when the top names drive most of the recent gains.

Liquidity MattersIPO waves, large offerings, and forced cash needs can temporarily pull money from liquid winners.

Patience Is ActiveWaiting means preparing a list, writing target prices, and refusing to chase optimism at the wrong price.

1. Check The Price Assumption

QuestionWhat future is already baked into the current price?

WarningHigh P/E plus slowing growth means you may be paying for perfection.

ToolUS Stocks metrics and Value screen

2. Find Hidden Concentration

QuestionAm I diversified, or do my ETFs and individual stocks repeat the same mega-cap bet?

WarningOwning an index plus the same top stocks can multiply exposure without feeling risky.

3. Prepare A Buy List

QuestionWhich companies would I be excited to own at a lower, sensible price?

RuleWrite the target before panic. Decide while calm, execute when the price arrives.

Trade Execution Timing

The market rewards patience twice: first when you wait for the right stock, and again when you wait for the right moment. Good news can make a company more attractive, but the opening print is often the worst place to chase it.

When BuyingDo not chase the open after overnight good news. Let the first wave of repricing, retail excitement, and profit-taking settle. Preferred buy window: 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM ET, using limit orders.

When SellingGap-up excitement is often the seller's advantage. If the stock opens higher on good news and the plan is to trim or exit, sell into strength early instead of waiting for the gap to fade. Preferred sell window: 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM ET on gap-up days.

Order DisciplineNever use market orders on volatile or gap-up days. A limit order is not hesitation; it is how StockIQ turns patience into execution discipline.

Morning Gap Workflow Wake up and check pre-market pricing. If a stock you own is up 2% or more, consider selling into the 9:30-9:45 AM ET excitement and only look for re-entry after 10:30 AM. If it is not up 2% or more, do nothing and let the day develop.

1Check pre-market prices before the bell.

2Is the stock up 2% or more?

YesSell into the open between 9:30 and 9:45 AM ET, then review re-entry after 10:30 AM.

NoDo not force a trade. Leave it alone and go about your day.

Good news + buyWait for the gap fill and real price discovery. Target 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM ET.

Good news + sellSell into opening excitement if trimming was already part of the plan. Target 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM ET.

Bad news + sellDo not panic-sell the open. Wait for a bounce or a cleaner read unless the thesis is truly broken.

Bad news + buyWait for capitulation and stabilization. The 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM ET window is usually cleaner than the first print.

Earnings dayAvoid same-day earnings guesses. Let the report land, read guidance, and review the reaction the next morning.

Core principleThe gap up belongs to the seller. The gap fill belongs to the buyer. Know which one you are before the bell rings.

ExceptionIf the gap holds past 10:30 AM with rising volume and no meaningful fill, treat it as a potential breakout. The breakout level becomes support, but this is the exception, not the rule.

StockIQ Checklist

PriceIs the stock priced for realistic earnings power, or for every future headline to go right?

ValueWhere is genuine earnings power being ignored because attention is elsewhere?

LiquidityCould new IPOs, offerings, dilution, or fund cash needs pressure the most liquid winners?

ConcentrationDo my ETFs, 401(k), and individual stocks repeat the same top-10 exposure?

PreparednessDo I have target prices and reasons written down before volatility arrives?

BehaviorAm I acting from a plan, or from the urge to do something because account values moved?

Pre-Market Guardrail

In-app StockIQ checks macro calendar events, VIX/market stress, sector pressure, earnings timing, and news risk inside the portal. Direct futures are marked as a data gap until a licensed in-app feed is connected.

RuleIf futures are sharply red, Fed/news risk is active, or your sector is weak pre-market, downgrade new buys to Watch unless the setup is exceptional.

Decision Rules

Entry WindowDip or constructive setup, no fundamental damage, earnings 4+ weeks away.

WatchRecovering setup, but earnings or peer reports are close enough to raise risk.

AvoidEarnings this week, major macro binary, peer contagion, or confirmed fundamental damage.

Drop Alert5%+ single-day drops get checked for news damage, earnings distance, peer contagion, and conviction.

Buy / Sell Decision Flow

Step 1

Market Regime

Check VIX, pre-market futures, CPI/PPI/PCE, jobs, and Fed risk. If volatility is stressed or an event is within 3 days, reduce new-risk size.

View details

Step 2

Event Timing

Check own earnings, peer earnings, and sector contagion. Earnings week or major peer report nearby means avoid fresh full-size entries.

Step 3

Damage Check

Look for guidance cuts, analyst shock, dilution, export/supply risk, legal/regulatory issues, or thesis-breaking news.

Step 4

Position Risk

Compare price to cost basis and target. If near target, oversized, or below thesis-break level, review trim or hold discipline.

Step 5

Action

Only buy when macro is acceptable, event risk is not immediate, no damage is confirmed, and the setup gives enough upside.

Waiting for reportOpen the Guardrails tab or click Refresh Guardrails to run the portal checks.

Market Regime

Step 1

This stage decides how much broad-market risk is in the air before judging a single stock. A strong company can still trade poorly when volatility, rates, inflation data, or Fed messaging pressure the whole market.

Things to Check

VIX level and direction: normal, rising, or stressed.
Pre-market futures for Nasdaq, S&P 500, Russell 2000, and relevant sector ETFs.
CPI, PPI, PCE, jobs data, Fed decision, Fed speakers, and Treasury yield moves.
Dollar strength, oil shock, credit stress, or geopolitical headlines that can hit risk appetite.

How to Read It

Green: normal VIX, calm rates, no major macro event within three trading days.
Yellow: data or Fed event is close, futures are mixed, or the stock's sector is weak.
Red: VIX spike, hot inflation/rates shock, broad selloff, or a major binary macro event today.

Decision Impact

Green allows normal review of add setups.
Yellow favors smaller tranches, starter sizes, or waiting for the event to pass.
Red pauses new-risk buying unless the position is tiny and the opportunity is exceptional.

Event Timing

Step 2

This stage checks whether a stock is about to face a scheduled catalyst that can overwhelm normal analysis. Earnings, peer reports, product events, FDA/regulatory dates, investor days, and large macro reports can all change the risk/reward quickly.

Things to Check

Company earnings date, confirmed or estimated, and whether it is before or after market close.
Major peer earnings in the same industry and sector ETF reaction.
Investor day, product launch, contract award window, regulatory decision, or conference presentation.
Options implied move if available, plus unusual volume around the event.

How to Read It

Green: earnings more than four weeks away and no major peer catalyst nearby.
Yellow: event in one to four weeks, peer report nearby, or expectations look crowded.
Red: earnings this week, binary regulatory/product event, or peer miss already damaging sentiment.

Decision Impact

Use full adds only when the event window is clean.
Use starter-only sizing when the stock is attractive but event risk is close.
Avoid chasing before a binary event unless the plan is explicitly short-term and sized accordingly.

Damage Check

Step 3

This stage separates a normal pullback from a thesis problem. Price weakness can be an entry only if the reason for the drop does not damage revenue durability, margins, balance sheet strength, regulatory standing, or the original reason for owning the stock.

Things to Check

Guidance cuts, missed earnings quality, slowing revenue, margin pressure, or weak bookings.
P/E versus peer average, forward P/E, revenue multiple, PEG ratio, revenue growth, and EPS beat/miss pattern.
Analyst downgrades with estimate cuts, not just price-target noise.
Dilution, debt stress, customer loss, export restriction, supply issue, lawsuit, or regulatory action.
Management tone from the latest call, filing, or press release.

How to Read It

Green: no thesis damage; weakness is market, sector, or temporary timing pressure.
Yellow: mixed news, estimate uncertainty, or a problem that needs one more data point.
Red: guidance cut, broken growth story, financing stress, legal/regulatory hit, or repeated execution miss.

Decision Impact

Green keeps the stock eligible for Buy/Add if valuation and setup also work.
Yellow moves the stock to Watch until the risk is confirmed or cleared.
Red moves it to Avoid/Pause or Trim/Sell Review depending on current ownership.

Position Risk

Step 4

This stage connects the stock idea to your actual portfolio. A good company can still be a poor add if the position is already large, near target, far above cost basis after a sharp move, or sitting below a level that invalidates the thesis.

Things to Check

Current price versus average cost, analyst target, your target, and recent support/resistance.
Analyst price target upside versus current price, especially if valuation is already premium.
Position size as a percent of portfolio and concentration by theme or sector.
Unrealized gain/loss, tax sensitivity, and whether the stock is stretched after a fast move.
Defined thesis-break level, stop-review level, or event that would force a reassessment.

How to Read It

Green: position is controlled, upside remains attractive, and the setup is not extended.
Yellow: position is medium-large, near fair value, or adding would crowd one theme.
Red: oversized, near/above target, thesis-break triggered, or better risk/reward exists elsewhere.

Decision Impact

Green permits an add if earlier stages also pass.
Yellow favors hold, starter-only, or waiting for a better entry.
Red triggers Trim/Sell Review or no-add discipline even if the business is high quality.

Action

Step 5

This stage converts the evidence into a review label. It should summarize the earlier checks rather than override them. The label is strongest when macro, timing, damage, and position risk all point in the same direction.

Things to Check

Do all prior stages agree, or is one stage flashing a major warning?
Is the upside large enough to justify the downside and event risk?
Is there a clear next checkpoint: earnings date, macro release, support level, or news update?
Does the action fit the portfolio rather than just the stock story?

Review Labels

Buy/Add: clean macro, clean timing, no damage, attractive upside, controlled position.
Watch/Starter Only: good stock but one or two near-term risks argue for patience or smaller sizing.
Avoid/Pause: major event, market stress, peer damage, or confirmed thesis damage.
Trim/Sell Review: near target, stretched, oversized, thesis broken, or capital has a better home.

Decision Impact

Write the reason in one sentence so the next review can test whether the thesis changed.
Size the action from the weakest stage, not the strongest stage.
When unsure, move from Buy/Add to Watch rather than forcing a trade.

Waiting for guardrails data...

Opportunity Watch

Beaten-down and cheap-looking stocks for deep research only. This is not a buy list; it is where StockIQ asks why the stock is cheap and what could make the market stop treating it that way.

Golden Rule

Cheap price alone is never the reason to buy. The question is always: why is it cheap, and why will it stop being cheap? If you can answer both, you may have an opportunity. If you can only answer the first, it may be a value trap.

Red - Stay AwayFundamentals look broken, cash burn or debt risk is too high, or the thesis depends on hope rather than evidence.

Yellow - Research QueueCheap enough to study, but needs a catalyst, cleaner balance sheet, or proof that deterioration is slowing.

Green - Trigger ReadyBusiness is real, catalyst is visible, valuation is compelling, and the entry trigger is defined. Still wait for timing and VIX discipline.

Seed Research List

Company / Theme	Status	Why Cheap	Why It Could Stop	Catalyst Date	Entry Trigger	Research Notes
Intel / U.S. semis turnaround	Yellow	Execution doubts, foundry skepticism, and market distrust after years of misses.	Terafab progress, credible foundry traction, or a panic dip into a better risk/reward zone.	July 22 earnings watch	Research harder if it revisits the 80-90 zone on non-terminal bad news.	Real assets and strategic value, but avoid catching a broken execution story too early.
Allbirds / consumer turnaround	Red	Revenue decline, weak sentiment, and uncertain path back to durable growth.	Brand remains recognizable; turnaround would need revenue stabilization and margin proof.	Next earnings / turnaround update	Only study after evidence that decline is slowing, not just because the share price is low.	Speculative brand-recovery case. Treat as research, not conviction.
Opendoor / rate-cut recovery	Yellow	Crushed by high rates, housing pressure, and balance-sheet skepticism.	Lower rates and improving housing liquidity could revive the operating model.	Fed cut cycle / housing data	Only when VIX is falling, rate-cut odds improve, and housing data stops weakening.	Massive recovery potential if macro turns, but risk remains high.
MicroVision / lidar optionality	Red	Cash burn, uncertain adoption timing, and speculative autonomous-vehicle timelines.	A real commercial win, strategic partnership, or AV adoption acceleration could change the story.	Contract / partnership watch	Do not buy the idea. Wait for proof of demand or balance-sheet improvement.	Possible asymmetric upside, but evidence must lead price.
Ericsson / 5G infrastructure	Green	Legal overhangs, weak telecom sentiment, and slow infrastructure spending.	Real revenue base, global 5G footprint, and recovery potential if legal/sector pressure fades.	Earnings / legal updates / 5G cycle	Buy-review only when sector pressure eases and VIX is dropping.	Real business, not a story stock. Worth deeper fundamental work.
Klaviyo / post-IPO SaaS quality	Green	Post-IPO reset, SaaS valuation compression, and skepticism around growth durability.	Revenue growth, Shopify partnership, and improving SaaS sentiment could re-rate it.	Earnings / Shopify ecosystem updates	Research buy zone if growth stays strong and the stock confirms support.	Classic beaten-down quality candidate, not merely cheap.
XPeng / China EV recovery	Yellow	China risk, EV competition, margin pressure, and geopolitical discount.	Geopolitical thaw, China equity recovery, delivery momentum, or margin improvement.	Delivery data / China macro / earnings	Only after China risk improves and price action confirms demand.	Potential rebound name, but macro and policy risk drive the setup.

Top 5 Priority ResearchSAIL, PGY, MCHP, SOFI, and SOUN deserve the first deep dives because each has a clear theme, visible upside thesis, and a defined catalyst path.

Expanded Candidate Pipeline

Category	Approx	Upside	Risk	Why Watch	Entry / Research Trigger
AI / Tech	~$8	High	Higher	Voice AI tools, strong AI theme, enterprise demand interest, and sub-$20 speculation.	Only after revenue quality, customer concentration, and cash burn are checked.
AI / Fintech	~$16	42%	Medium	AI-powered loan processing, strong analyst support, and raised guidance.	Verify credit-cycle risk, funding conditions, and whether guidance momentum continues.
AI / Quantum	~$12	Very high	Higher	Quantum computing pure play with a large multi-year tailwind.	Treat as optionality until commercial revenue and cash runway justify the story.
AI / Semis	~$8	Huge 2027+	Higher	Next-gen power chips, data-center angle, and NVDA partnership thesis.	Wait until late 2026 or clearer data-center revenue proof before treating it seriously.
Cybersecurity	~$13	65%	Medium	AI identity security, machine identity demand, and beaten-down price action.	Priority research name if revenue retention, growth, and margin path remain intact.
Fintech	~$15	High	Lower	Digital bank, broad fintech platform, fast revenue growth, and possible rate-cut support.	Confirm deposit growth, credit quality, and profitability trend before sizing.
Fintech	~$15	Significant	Medium	Global payments processor with large transaction volume and U.S. expansion angle.	Research margin recovery, competitive pressure, and U.S. growth evidence.
Defense / Autonomous	~$8	100%+	Higher	Autonomous drones, counter-drone, and defense wireless contract optionality.	Wait for contract evidence and balance-sheet clarity.
Distribution Tech	~$19	70%	Medium	Tech-enabled building products distribution, beaten down, analyst target support.	Verify acquisition strategy, execution risk, and housing-cycle sensitivity.
Telecom / Connectivity	~$5	Significant	Medium	5G, AI network infrastructure, licensing IP, and business reinvention angle.	Research only if margin and order trends support a real recovery.
Telecom / Dividend	~$16	~5%	Lower	Global wireless, Germany/UK stabilization, cost cutting, and dividend profile.	Confirm debt load, dividend safety, and turnaround progress.
Banking	~$15	~24%	Lower	UK bank, wealth management acquisition, and structural tailwinds.	Check rate sensitivity, credit quality, and integration risk.
Future Mobility	~$4	39%	Higher	Southeast Asia super app across rideshare, food, and banking.	Verify profitability path, country risk, and fintech monetization.
Biotech	~$35	52%	Speculative	Gene editing platform with earnings/catalyst potential and existing watchlist relevance.	Study pipeline, cash runway, approvals, and binary-event risk before any action.
Regional Bank	~$16	Moderate	Lower	Regional bank expanding south and likely rate-cut beneficiary.	Check deposit costs, loan losses, and regional bank stress before adding.
Hidden Semis	~$53	40-50%	Lower	Down sharply from highs, possible AI second-wind, and expected return to profitability.	Priority research if inventory cycle bottoms and margin recovery begins.

Thesis

Thesis Integrity score (0–100) and status — Intact, Provisionally Intact, Questioned, or Broken — built from analyst revisions, guidance direction, decline cause, and Moat Lens score. Unreviewed scan results show Insufficient Data instead of treating missing inputs as bearish. Decline cause starts as a sector-relative estimate, while recent negative analyst activity can override a sector/macro read for enriched names — see the Activity column. Stage a name to complete its qualitative review.

Entry tier

The final classification. Pullback and Thesis gate eligibility; Confirmation then gates position size — the three scores are never just averaged together.

Pullback

Score (0–100) and % off the 52-week high (adjusted if that high was a single-day spike). Higher score = further off highs.

Confirmation

Score (0–100) from consecutive closes above the Reference level plus a volume check. Real for staged/refreshed tickers and the top ~50 enriched scan candidates (the narrowest of the three enrichment calls, by design — it's the lowest-priority signal); shows "Not computed" (not a false 0) for scan candidates outside that cap — use "Re-score market data" on a row to compute it on demand.

Activity

A "Verify" badge means a real analyst rating action (upgrade or downgrade) was found in the trailing ~7 trading days for this ticker. Separate from Decline Cause on purpose — even a positive action is worth a manual look, and this is scoped to the same enriched top ~250 as analyst-target data above (wider than Confirmation's top ~50).

Price

Current price as of the last refresh.

52W High

The 52-week high used for the Pullback calculation above (adjusted if that high was a single-day spike).

Cash Flow Columns, In Plain Words

FCF — Free Cash Flow · Cash after capital expenditures — the purest measure
OCF — Operating Cash Flow · Cash from core business operations
CFO — Cash Flow from Operations · Same as OCF — used interchangeably
CFI — Cash Flow from Investing · Cash spent on investments, acquisitions, equipment (usually negative — that's normal)
CFF — Cash Flow from Financing · Cash from debt, dividends, stock buybacks (negative often means returning money to shareholders)

⚠️ A very low P/E is not automatically a bargain — it can also mean the market expects profits to fall (a "value trap"). Always run the full research checklist and Guardrails auto-check before buying. P/E is approximated from the latest fiscal year. Educational research only, not financial advice.

PEGY Console

PEGY adjusts plain PEG for dividend yield, so income-producing compounders are not unfairly punished for slower growth. Formula: P/E divided by EPS growth plus dividend yield.

PEGY is most useful for dividend-paying names. If growth plus yield is zero or negative, or the result is outside a sane 0-10 range, StockIQ shows N/M instead of a distorted ratio. Educational research only, not financial advice.

Structural Moat Lens

Quality-compounder screen for businesses where switching costs come from regulatory validation, professional retraining, or protocol standardization, not merely habit or customer convenience.

Moat Mechanism Rules

IncludedRegulatory embedding, professional retraining lock-in, and industry-wide protocol standardization.

Financial DNANet cash or low leverage, 35%+ operating margin, 70%+ gross margin where applicable, GAAP profitability, and 10%+ consistent growth.

CalibrationFICO is intentionally shown as a moat match with a balance-sheet mismatch; VRSK is intentionally shown as a slower-growth contrast row.

Curated qualitative lens built from the VEEV structural-moat framework. Manual moat tags are intentional because FMP data cannot reliably infer regulatory validation or professional retraining lock-in. Educational research only, not financial advice.

ETF Value Columns, In Plain Words

Fee / Yr (expense ratio) — What the fund charges you yearly. 0.03% means $3 per $10,000 invested. Under 0.10% is cheap; over 0.50% needs a good reason.
Fund Size — Total money in the fund. Bigger funds trade easier and are less likely to close.
Div Yield — Cash paid out to you per year as a percent of the price.
Holdings — How many stocks the fund owns. More holdings = more diversified, less dependent on any single company.

Top 150 US-listed ETFs by size. Fee and fund details from FMP where available — blanks mean the provider did not supply that field. Educational research only, not financial advice.

📉 Dip Scan — Deep Price, Intact Expectations

Finds stocks trading at least 15% below their 52-week high and in the bottom half of their yearly range, where Wall Street still expects profits to grow or the business remains highly profitable. A dip with intact expectations is a research candidate — a dip with broken expectations is a falling knife.

Pick a category to scan.

⚠️ A deep price is a research flag, not an automatic buy. The scan checks that expectations LOOK intact in the numbers — it cannot know about lawsuits, lost customers, or guidance cuts from the data alone. Run the Guardrails auto-check and read the news on any ticker before acting. Educational research only, not financial advice.

StockIQ Playbook - Chapter 1

What ticks a ticker up or down?

A stock moves when the market changes what it believes about future cash flows, growth, risk, and the price investors are willing to pay for those expectations. The embedded video on the left uses Gemini narration with StockIQ presentation visuals.

BUSINESS RESULTS

Revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow

VALUATION

P/E, PEG, sales multiple, rate backdrop

NARRATIVE

AI, moat, management, sector momentum

CATALYSTS

Earnings, news, macro, positioning

Ticker move = Earnings power x Valuation multiple x Market mood

NVDA: earnings exploded, AI story strengthened, margins expanded.

MSFT: durable earnings, cloud growth, recurring revenue, AI option.

DRAM: memory cycle and pricing can matter more than a steady compounder story.

StockIQ Playbook - Chapter 2

P/E Ratio: cheap, expensive, or trap?

P/E shows what investors are paying for each dollar of earnings, but it only helps when you compare it to growth, quality, risk, sector context, and earnings durability.

BARGAIN

Low P/E, stable earnings, temporary pessimism.

PREMIUM

High P/E can work when growth justifies it.

TRAP

Low P/E, falling earnings, weakening story.

StockIQ Playbook - Chapter 3

Earnings: why good numbers can still drop a stock

Earnings reactions are about results versus expectations. Revenue, EPS, margins, and guidance only move the stock when they change the future the market already priced in.

BEAT + RAISE

Current results and future expectations improve together.

GUIDE DOWN

A good quarter can fall if the future gets weaker.

EXPECTATIONS

The market judges the report against what was priced in.

StockIQ Playbook - Chapter 4

Valuation multiple: why the same company gets repriced

A stock price is earnings power multiplied by the multiple investors are willing to pay. The same business can rise or fall when confidence changes.

MULTIPLE

The market's opinion about earnings quality and growth.

COMPRESSION

Better earnings can still fall if investors pay less for them.

EXPANSION

Earnings growth plus confidence can reprice a stock higher.

StockIQ Playbook - Chapter 5

Market mood: risk-on, defensive, and why good stocks move together

Sometimes your stock moves because of the company. Sometimes it moves because of rates, macro, sector rotation, positioning, and the market's appetite for risk.

RISK ON

Growth, momentum, upside, and new stories get rewarded.

DEFENSIVE

Cash flow, valuation, profitability, and balance sheets matter more.

PEER CHECK

Compare the stock to its sector before blaming the business.

StockIQ Playbook - Chapter 6

Cyclical vs compounder: why different stocks need different rules

The sleeve decides the playbook. Cyclicals need exit discipline; compounders need thesis checks. Performance should never quietly rewrite the classification.

CYCLICAL

Cycle-driven, rules-based, target and stop aware.

COMPOUNDER

Long-term thesis, recurring value, drawdown context.

FRICTION

Overrides require a reason so losses do not become rationalized holds.

StockIQ Playbook - Portfolio Basics

Index vs. ETF vs. stock: what are you actually buying?

Learn why an index is a benchmark, an ETF is a tradable basket, and a stock is ownership in one company—then uncover hidden overlap across your holdings.

INDEX

A benchmark: holdings plus weighting rules.

ETF

A fund and tradable basket—not automatic diversification.

STOCK

A direct ownership slice of one company.

Includes QQQ, SPY, VOO, DIA, expense ratios, tracking differences, and Risk Lens overlap. Educational only.

StockIQ Playbook - Case Study

Why a $991 stock can be worth less than a $195 stock

MU versus NVDA explains why share price is only the cost of one slice. Market cap, valuation multiples, and earnings durability reveal what the whole company is worth.

MARKET CAP

Share price multiplied by shares outstanding.

VALUATION

P/E and PEG matter more than the sticker price.

SCRIPT OPENING

Before you buy a stock, ask two questions: what could tick this ticker up, and what could tick it down? Is the move coming from real earnings power, valuation multiple expansion, a stronger narrative, or just short-term news? In StockIQ, we separate those forces so we understand both the upside engine and the downside trigger.

How the StockIQ Algorithm Thinks

The Parameters Engine changes StockIQ from “ticker → score” into “ticker → parameter → evidence → decision context.” It does not promise what a stock will do. It organizes current facts, applies consistent rules, exposes uncertainty, and explains why a stock received its scores.

How to use it

Click Parameters beside a ticker anywhere in StockIQ.
Start with Overall Support, Core, Trajectory, Catalyst Acceleration, Risk, and classification.
Click a parameter to see its facts, inference, confidence, data period, freshness, and sources.
Compare “Why StockIQ Likes It” with “What Could Break the Thesis.”
Use upgrade and downgrade triggers as a review checklist—not an automatic order.

StockIQ versus broad financial sites

Sites such as Yahoo Finance are valuable places to explore quotes, statements, estimates, ownership, news, and charts. StockIQ is the evaluation layer: it takes usable evidence, checks whether it is current and comparable, assigns importance, exposes missing inputs, and applies the same research rules to every ticker.

Broad site: ticker → data pages → you combine the evidence
StockIQ: ticker → evidence checks → weighted evaluation → confidence → decision context

What makes StockIQ's evaluation different

Repeatable rulesEvery ticker follows the same evidence, eligibility, scoring, and classification stages.

No invented neutral scoreMissing evidence is excluded and shown through coverage and confidence.

Importance-awareCore fundamentals outweigh confirming technical or sentiment signals.

Separate decisionsCompany quality, trajectory, catalyst, valuation, and risk cannot hide inside one number.

Period-awareOne estimate is not a revision trend; one 13F period is not accumulation.

ExplainableFacts, inference, confidence, freshness, sources, and thesis triggers remain visible.

Facts before inference

Reported growth, filings, prices, and earnings results are facts. A 0–10 score is a separate inference. Keeping them separate allows the algorithm to improve without rewriting historical evidence.

Insufficient ≠ neutral

Unavailable evidence is marked Insufficient Current Data and excluded from the average. StockIQ does not invent a neutral 5/10.

Confidence and freshness

Confidence reflects recency, source quality, evidence quantity, and conflicts. Delayed 13F filings are never described as real-time institutional activity.

The algorithm

Available parameters are normalized to 0–10. Scores of 6.5–10 are supportive, above 4 and below 6.5 are mixed/neutral, and 0–4 are negative. Overall Support is the tier-weighted average expressed as a percentage.

Overall Support = Σ(score × tier weight) ÷ Σ(available tier weights) × 10

Tier 1 · weight 3Revenue, EPS, guidance, margins, cash flow, balance sheet, valuation, major catalyst, and risk.

Tier 2 · weight 2Institutions, analysts, insiders, backlog, orders, market share, and sector evidence.

Tier 3 · weight 1Technicals, volume, options, short interest, and news sentiment.

Tier 3 may confirm a setup, but it cannot overpower deteriorating Tier 1 fundamentals.

Four different decisions

Great CompanyDurable growth, margins, cash generation, balance sheet, moat, and consistency.

Great EntryValuation and risk/reward at today’s price. A great company may still be a poor entry.

Great CatalystFast fundamental improvement plus a time-bounded event. This means research urgency, not automatic buying.

Great Portfolio FitPosition size, concentration, correlation, cost basis, and event exposure—kept separate from company quality.

Catalyst Acceleration: the seven conditions

StockIQ checks: revenue growth above 20%, accelerating revenue, segment growth above 30%, upward analyst revisions, earnings within seven days, active institutional accumulation, and price more than 10% below its recent high. Four conditions can create a Catalyst Candidate. Five or more with a near event can create a High‑Velocity Catalyst Candidate. The conservative Core score remains unchanged.

What the headline scores mean

CoreConservative long-term investment quality.

TrajectoryWhether recent operating and earnings evidence is moving supportively.

CatalystSpeed of change and urgency around a major event.

ValuationPrice versus fundamentals, history, and peers. Cheap is not automatically bullish.

RiskGap, volatility, leverage, dilution, concentration, regulatory, macro, and execution exposure.

Missed Opportunity learning

A ±10% daily move can trigger an audit against the pre-event snapshot. The report records what StockIQ caught and missed. It never changes weights from one example; a review is recommended only after at least three materially similar failures.

Decision discipline: Parameters are research estimates—not guarantees, personalized investment advice, or automatic trade instructions. Verify material facts with primary filings, consider downside and position size, and never confuse a high catalyst score with a high-confidence long-term investment.

A successful scan does not guarantee a score

Collection and scoring are separate. A scan can finish without an error and still show Insufficient. The job completed, but the minimum evidence for a defensible inference was not available. One current estimate cannot prove a revision trend, and one 13F reporting period cannot prove accumulation.

Estimate Revisions algorithm

Estimate Revisions does not come from the SEC. StockIQ needs analyst-consensus observations, normally separated by at least seven days. Until a comparison exists, the field correctly remains Building History or Insufficient.

Institutional algorithm

OwnershipChecks whether reportable institutional positions exist in the current 13F period.

AccumulationCompares aggregated holdings across current and prior periods. One period is not a trend.

Partial SEC progressShows filings and managers found, but partial indexing is not scored as a final result.

The SEC queue checkpoints and resumes later. Since 13F reports are delayed, StockIQ never labels them as real-time trading.

Discovery algorithm

Discovery expands the universe without lowering Core standards. Core begins at $2B; Small Cap Discovery covers $300M to below $2B; Microcap covers $25M to below $300M. The default liquidity floor is $1M average daily dollar volume.

QualificationFour independent strong signals can qualify a candidate; five or more can create a high-velocity label.

Risk gatesCash runway, dilution, toxic financing, and going-concern evidence affect rank and classification.

Position controlDiscovery names remain speculative or watch-only and cannot silently become Core positions.

Cap categories and notes

Upcoming Earnings, Catalyst Watch, and Calendar use Small (below $2B), Mid ($2B-$10B), Large ($10B-$200B), and Mega ($200B+) display lanes. A tab changes the view, not the score. Research notes are stored per ticker and missing parameter; they preserve your work but do not silently alter algorithmic scores.

Ticker Workspace Market Snapshot

The snapshot converts quote-page statistics into entry context. Bid and ask are intentionally omitted because they are short-lived execution fields, frequently unavailable without an exchange-level feed, and do not strengthen the research evaluation.

Trading contextPrevious close, open, day range, current volume, average volume, and relative volume show the opening gap, intraday range, and participation.

Risk and valuationMarket cap selects the comparison lane; five-year beta describes historical market sensitivity; trailing P/E and EPS show the price paid for recent earnings.

Return contextDividend and yield add an income component. The live analyst consensus target is translated into implied upside but is never treated as intrinsic value or a guarantee.

Event controlThe nearest future earnings date becomes days remaining. Same-day earnings create an entry blackout, while a near report creates entry caution.

Key formulas: Relative volume = current volume ÷ average volume. Dividend yield = annual dividend ÷ current price. Implied analyst upside = (consensus target − current price) ÷ current price. A dash means providers did not return a defensible value; StockIQ does not invent missing values.

Algorithm role: this is context, not a new headline score. Beta and relative volume inform volatility and confirmation; P/E, EPS, yield, and target upside support valuation review; earnings controls event risk. They cannot independently override Tier 1 fundamentals such as revenue, margins, cash flow, balance sheet, and guidance.

THE PROBLEM

Most investors buy before completing a structured research process.

Broker apps show prices and charts. StockIQ is designed to help answer the harder pre-buy question: is this stock worth deeper research at today’s price?. You're left Googling "is NVDA a good buy" and reading 10 different opinions that contradict each other. Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts have consensus targets, 40-point research frameworks, and institutional-grade tools — all behind paywalls or buried in Bloomberg terminals.
