Expert Financial Guidance: Now more than ever.
With stock market volatility at an all time high, the need for experienced and accomplished guidance is also at an all time high. Today the the market is brutal to traditional investments of all kinds. That is why we seek out value and safety. Dividends and capital appreciation. Performance and returns.
Tough Times. Good investments.
Look at your portfolio: Is it full of well known companies such as Cisco, GE, Pfizer, Microsoft and Intel and even Google?
From Bill Gunderson Forbes.com :
“Not only do they drag your portfolio down, many of them have gone backwards for years,” Bill Gunderson told Forbes. “General Electric is probably one of the most widely held, well known stocks in the world … If you look at GE over the last 10 years, it is down 60 percent during that period of time. On the other hand, during that same time, you have a stock like Priceline (PCLN) that is up 600 percent.” Bill Gunderson, Forbes.
We choose The Best Stocks Now.
We are Gunderson Capital Management. San Diego Magazine named us a “Top Wealth Manager” for three years in a row from 2009 to 2011. Our President, Bill Gunderson, has been featured in Fox News, Fox Business TV, Lou Dobbs, Megyn Kelly, David Asman, Barron’s, Bloomberg Radio, Forbes, The Street, Los Angeles Business Journal, Phoenix Business Journal, Yahoo Finance, and dozens of others around the country.
We don’t put our clients in big, sexy stocks with media-savvy CEO’s and dismal records of delivering profits to owners.
We choose value. We choose performance. We choose safety. Here are a few of our Best Stocks Now!: Autozone (AZO), Apple Computer (AAPL), Dollar Tree (DLTR), Tractor Supply (TSCO), and Ross Stores (ROST).
In volatile times, we aren’t afraid to hedge our portfolios with inverse ETF’s that go up when their underlying indexes or sectors go down.
It used to be very difficult to hedge a portfolio. You had to short individual stocks or purchase options. You also needed a margin agreement or options agreement. In addition to this, many custodians would not let you short stocks in an IRA account.
Now with the advent of inverse ETF’s (I like Profunds) it is very easy to hedge or un-hedge a portfolio.
Using our proprietary Gunderson rating system, we have tons of “A” rated stocks that we put in portfolios at Gunderson Capital Management.
They might be right for you too.

We’ve been writing about the Best Stocks Now in our newsletter and talking about them on the radio for years too.
That is why you need our newsletter: Best Stocks Now.
We use the Gunderson Grading System that measures profits and performance and tells us when to buy and when to sell.
You can Listen live to Positively Wall Street on AM 1000 KCEO from 7 – 8 A.M. Monday – Friday. If you want to listen to today’s show or past shows, you can visit the showarchives. You can also subscribe to my podcast on iTunes!

Bill, not impressed. Your final statement in last week’s report was “I am a raging bull.” Why were you not cautious with news of Spain’s economy contracting, USA economic reports being released last week (forecasted to be poor) and with Greek and French elections occurring on the 6th of May (big changes coming and not for the better). Are you too focused on your stock system that you are missing the big picture?
Peer, it depends on what stock you are talking about? Are you too focused on the “big picture” and missing huge winners like Ross Stores, Dollar Tree, Autozone, TJ Maxx, Polaris Industries, Sturm Ruger, and on and on and on. These stocks have been been overcoming the so-called “big picture” for years now. There will always be some “big picture” that we have to overcome. The trick is to watch your individual stocks and not the “big picture.” If you don’t you will will never bag doubles, triples, and homeruns in our portfolio. Instead, you will be acting from emotion and constantly getting in and out of the market. Markets can change very rapidly. In spite of this, I have been fully invested since the lows of 2009, can you say the same?
Wprt? You use to like it on your show buy its a C grade. Whats your opinion? Thank you sir.
I only buy A- or better.

Hi Bill, not a great call I would say…
The reason I am pointing this out is because that GMCR has no business moat at all and is and was an unsafe investment.
Why aren’t you adding a requirement for a business moat in your system.
Other than that your system is better than most brokers out there.
If you are looking for someone that gets them all right, you are following the wrong guy. I will continue to do my best.
Gunderson, you win. Being the cheapskate that I am I will have to buy your newsletter as I feel somewhat naked without it. My IRAs have gone up about 22% in the past 9-10 months just listening to your show along with the free trial issues. Sure beats the 1-2% the bank was paying me. Currently own TNH, AAPL, FCFS, EZPW(upside potential), SBH, NLY(lagging a bit), BAP, NHI, ACC, KMP, ROST, SCCO, and WPC. When my accounts beef up a bit more, you can manage for me. Need time for my Tennis. Thanx, Hugo
In today’s USA economy (inflation,gasoline prices going higher, printing never ending money, housing market (shadow market, forclosures & shadow market), 50 million people on some kind of government assistance, high unemployment (10 million people on disablity-not being counted in employement #) & generally the working people paying alot more & more (state & federal) taxes to support the broken state budgets (yes I live in CA),social programs, etc…
*What kind of stock investment would you advise for me to beat inflation. Would a blue chip companies that provide both growth & dividends work for this year & down the road? or some other mix.
Thanks Bill for all of your wisdom & have a great 2012!!!
Bill — Have been listening to your radio show for about 9 mos. Got your Newsletter a few mos ago and now the app– what great tools. Your grading system makes more sense than anything I have come across– The proof is in the pudding – even the last couple “down days” in the market with a mix of your grade A and B stocks, I have been up significantly, love core labs, terra nitrogen, apple etc. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

I’m down 6% on MA. Should I cut bait and run or average down?
I am long the stock in my Conservative Growth Accounts which consist of about 25 different stocks. I am a believer in a diversified portfolio. I have no intention of selling unless something changes.

I just started following your advice this year and bought SXL on Jan 3, 2012 @ $39.48. It is now at $35.86 (market close on Jan 13th) and below its 10-day and 50-day SMA. Should I continue to hold it or sell? I feel I may have bought it too late into its runup and it may be losing its momentum.
Correction: I made one small error and was looking at Thurs’ (Jan 12th) close vs Fri (Jan 13th). Price is $36.35 and not $35.86. So we are just marginally above the 50-day SMA and a downward trend. But my question is still whether SXL is losing its momemtum and if should I continue to hold or sell?
SXL was a good buy in the low thirties. It went from there to almost 40 in a very short period of time. I still like it for income and maybe some growth, but not as a trading vehicle.

Bill, listen to your show almost every morning. I appreciate all the advice. I know your a big supporter of fracking. It really is causes earthquakes.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45903873/ns/technology_and_science-science/#.TwiKSYGwVzI
I am starting to think so also. Just don’t start fracking on the San Andreas Fault!
I’m impressed. And I’m not easy to impress. I’ll be investigating this further.
Bill,
Just read your article on Sears. Ease up on the exclamation points. You use them like oxygen. Completely erase any emphasis you intended.
Sorry about all of the exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I meant them. Have you seen the stock today.
Bill, thinking about small option position in HPQ. PE looks cheap, but Balance sheet looks horrible when considering amount of “Goodwill”. Just wondering if you had quick grade on this one? I’m sure performance doesn’t stack up to value.
Bill Google just bought the company I work for, Motorola. What grade and what do you think of google? Good move to invest some thru company buy in? I would check out google on my Droid but your app is not ready yet. Waiting for that day
Thanks Bill
Thanks for your continuous research on A+ stocks. I only saw Best Stocks Now Lite version for iPhone thru iTunes.
Where can I get the Best Stocks Now app full version?
When do you anticipate to have the app available for blackberry users? Thanks.
Betty, we submitted the full version to Apple today. It should be available by later this week. We are working on Android and PC version right now. With Blackberry losing so many users we dont have any plans for a blackberry app as of now.

Bill, great book, tweets, show, and newsletter. AEA is down huge, but still seems like a great business model for this economy. Any thoughts?
AEA still looks good to me.
Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m inspired! Very helpful information particularly the ultimate phase
I deal with such info a lot. I used to be looking for this certain info for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
Bill,
I have listened to your radio show for several years and found both the show and your free trial newsletter to be very informative. Both CMI and CLF have been super good stocks and both were directly from you show. Now that I am living in Hawaii I still listen via podcast. Keep up the good work and please start taking questions on the air again.
thanks

Bill,
Just finished reading your opinion piece and though you haven’t replaced
George Will as my favorite columnist you have crashed my top 5,
effectively bumping Ruben Navarette, Eugene Robinson and Lorena Gonzales
OUT of the top 10. You have also hit #1 as the San Diego essayist I would
most prefer to read. Great job! Now, would you consider tackling the
Energy Department or even AMTRAK?

Hi Bill,
Just wanted to thank both you & your friends for making AM 1000 one of the best programs on the AM side. I enjoy listening to your show after working the Graveyard shift.
Question: The stock relative strength index indicator is a lagging one, which one(s) do you use as a current indicator?
Stay safe & WE all need people with your knowlege & wisdom to keep the normal investor swimming with the current, not against it.
Bill, just moved to San Diego and found your show on the radio while driving to work. Heard about some of your great picks over the last few years. While everyone has their pick of winners, I’m interested in knowing what were some of your losers that did not pan out for you and why you thought they were a good buy at the time. And finally, what made you sell them. Thanks.
Mike, you came to the right city! Welcome. Get a four week trial to my newsletter and you will find all of my losers there. You will also find the reasons why I sold them. I hope you make the show a daily habit.

Hi, Bill,
Is there a way to find all stocks that are crossing over 150 day simple moving average?
Thanks,
great show on bloomberg
Hey gang,
i’ve been trying to buy your book but Amazon keeps telling me it is selling out. I see the good reviews — so i know someone is buying it.
Maybe I should have invested in your book as well as your stocks.
You can buy the book on my website
Bill: I have read your book now and appreciate that you write just like you speak, simple and easy to understand. Reading it got me excited again about investing.
Your philosophy is to get into stocks when they are 1/2 price. Is the time to get out when you have reached the doubled price or do you stay in if you valuate that it will increase? Or do you sell off your initial profit after it doubles and find a new 1/2 price stock? If these are the things you cover in your workshops I look forward to your next one. I will be there.
Hi Bill,
My son and I listen to your show when I run him to school! He’s 14 you got something to hook his attention. Excited for the app to come out I’m sure he’ll add it to his Ipod and let me use time to time lol. I’ll being reading the book soon! Bty thank you for being forward looking helps me to stay the course! Ever think of starting a Best Stocks now Fund and build in a management fee! I know you can creat a stock portfolio essentially a fund in a way, but I like the name Best Stocks Now Fund! Sounds like a winner plus you can have it linked to all wire houses just an idea!!
Hi, Bill,
I remember you talked about ABC before, what do you think about it now?
Thanks.
It is a B+ right now. It only has 75% upside potential. Wait for a pull back to buy it.
bill,
what do you think of Wynn and their new operations in China?
Listening to you has put the capstone on my stock market strategy.You have done a great service for people who are trying to learn how to out perform the market.Thank God the mainsteam media doesn’t focus on stocks that you focus on.If they did,we might lose our edge.
Thank you Bill
Thanks for the kind word! Keep it real quiet!
Bill
I bought Ross stores at 56 it is now 79.00 what should be my tatget price to sell .
Thanks for all you do
Current 5 year target price is $136. I still like it.
today it is trading at 81
Your newletter is great! I like the recent improvements. Looking forward to the book. I must admit however your investment style has me stumped! You are NOT a pure value guy. You often recommend stocks that are way expensive (High PE). Do you consider yourself a momentum guy? Just curious because I have followed you on the radio for years and I always thought of you as a low PE value investor.
I buy half-price stocks
