- Near its 1-year low. The price is within 10% of its lowest point in the past year.
- Low debt. Owes less than half of what the business is worth on its books. Banks and insurers are left out.
- Growing steadily. Sales grew at least 5% a year for five years, with spare cash every year.
- Best businesses only. Only the companies that score 85 or more out of 100 on quality.
Pays you cash each year. 4% means $4 a year for every $100 of shares.
WarningsKeeps companies we fully checked that show none of these serious signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, or a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on. One big customer or a new auditor doesn't remove a company: those are only worth knowing. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.

We read each company's latest annual report and recent SEC notices for these five signs only.
