Picks

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 a dividend

Pays you cash each year. 4% means $4 a year for every $100 of shares.

Owned by a fund you trust

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.

Hide companies with…

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