Using these four, he can call for tops and bottoms on indices as well as individual stocks. Before ever making a decision, every one of the indicators has to align on a stock in order for it to be considered for recommendation.

Gregory Spear
Independent Investor, Inc. was founded in 1995 at a kitchen table in West Hartford, Connecticut by Gregory Spear. Mr. Spear had begun to test different investing systems and, in doing so, had invented a revolutionary, yet inherently simple process that worked amazingly well. This system, which he called "Consensus," uncovered stock picks agreed upon by the best performing independent (non-Wall Street) stock analysts and money managers. In addition, Spear designed his Performance-Weighted Rank to find out which stock-picking systems really perform and which ones don't, and then weigh their advice accordingly. With the Consensus System as its backbone, Gregory Spear launched his first financial newsletter, The Spear Report in 1995.
