As of September 2024, he was ranked in the Top 3% of bloggers by TipRanks® for 12-month stock picking performance on suggestions made over the last decade.A contrarian stock selection style, along with daily algorithm analysis of fundamental and technical data have been developed into a system for finding stocks, named the “Victory Formation.” Supply/demand imbalances signaled by specific stock price and volume movements are a critical part of this formula for success. Mr. Franke suggests investors use 10% or 20% stop-loss levels on individual choices and a diversified approach of owning at least 50 well positioned favorites to achieve regular stock market outperformance. “Bottom Fishing Club” articles focus on deep-value candidates or stocks experiencing a major reversal in technical momentum to the upside. “Volume Breakout Report” articles discuss positive trend changes backed by strong price and volume trading action.
