Jonathan Eley, Editor, Investors Chronicle

How do the world?s most successful investors achieve an out-performance of the market? What helps them determine what stocks to buy?

For decades, successful investors have been using a variety of strategies to screen the markets so that they can filter out the best shares to buy. And trading analysis shows that it?s more lucrative to focus on a set of shares with defined characteristics than to invest across a wide variety of markets.

Drawing on a range of ideas and theories, from classic value investing through to popular momentum-based strategies, Smarter Stock Picking walks you through key screening and filtering tactics that will enable you to make discriminating and intelligent share choices.
