IBD’s approach is based on over 50 years of research. It started when IBD’s founder, the legendary investor William O’Neil, began studying the best-performing stocks of all time to see what they had in common. His discoveries changed the world of growth stock investing.
The problem with many common investing strategies is that they focus on either fundamental or technical analysis. O’Neil found that you need to utilize both kinds of analysis—plus a market timing strategy—to outperform the market year after year.
