Gears is a stock market research firm dedicated to helping investors construct and maintain portfolios that generate returns consistent with their goals, their time horizon, and their risk preferences.

Our research is based on the concept that stocks of companies with rising rates of growth do well, and stocks of companies with falling growth do poorly. We have developed a set of tools to help people identify and anticipate rising growth, and find the best stocks to use in their portfolio. More importantly, our tools help people identify signs of slowing growth, and thereby avoid the painful declines in share prices that are associated with falling growth companies.

We employ modern tools within the company accounting numbers that help to spot early signs of deterioration in growth or growth quality... such as falling sales growth, falling margins, rising costs, rising receivables, rising inventories etc.

We monitor share price changes looking for opportunities to buy accelerating companies when their shares are depressed, and sell decelerating companies when their shares are extended.

This buy low-sell high strategy is applied across over 4000 North American companies of all sizes, financial condition, risk and share price performance characteristics. Our process is designed to find, articulate and deliver decision ideas that are consistent with your investment goals and investing time horizon.
