More ways to skin a bull than you can shake a bear at ...
For many investors the principle benefit of the UpicT pictures will be a new ability
to take on analyses types that were previously just too arduous to contemplate.
In contrast to the calculational difficulties that can be encountered using ratio-based
comparison, the visual nature of the pictures promotes a quick and quite painless
drilling down from more general to more particular views. This is invaluable with
inter-company historical performance comparisons. And it means being able to
quickly discard the less worthy prospects from a basket, those comprising the bulk of
a field of candidates. It also allows you to hone in efficiently on periodic 'cyclic'
patterns of interest, and to quickly locate representative slices for stock valuation
purposes.
Described below are some analytical processing suggestions that could help serious
investors experience dramatic efficiencies with particular investing strategies -- ones
that previously may well have been entirely outside the investor's scope due to the
onerous nature of some of the theoreticals involved. Those theoreticals are now
absorbed into UpicT's inner black-box, well out of view, as they should be.
You will hopefully notice from browsing through the following list that UpicT has a
slightly different role to play in each strategy. We showcase here a display sample only
but, in fact, any strategy with a focus on the fundamentals will surely have a role for
UpicT, and possibly a quite significant one. Because no matter how much crunching
UpicT has to do behind the scenes, it can still be viewed as just a generic black-box
function to add value to the fundamentals -- at one end taking in copious data (that in
itself is a fairly meaningless and mind-boggling stream), and at the other end spitting
out a useful visual conversion in the form of "meaningful information" for intelligent
strategists.
These hints are not intended as instructions for investing, nor as any kind of guide to
investing, nor as any kind of financial advice. The hints below are given only in respect
of showcasing the role or roles which UpicT pictures might play in a variety of common
investing strategies in order to make the processing more efficient. Furthermore, the
standard delivery mechanisms offered on this website may not be satisfactory for
some of the functionalities described in these hints, nor indeed for the many potential
variations in service that could be successfully deployed. You may need to
contact us
about such requirements to see if we can arrange a delivery service more suited to your
specific needs. We suggest that you first scrutinise the examples posted on the examples
page, then obtain and study a free sample for an NZX ticker-code of your own choosing,
before deciding exactly what your requirements would be. You will probably gain more
value from a free sample by choosing the NZX ticker-code of a stock whose history you
are already familiar with, one for which you already have your own "personal internal
picture".
