Both scales are percentage changes from zero to 25%. Stocks or ETFs whose current risk exposure exceeds their return prospects fall above the dotted diagonal line.
Our main interest is in place TTEK [10]A ‘market index’ measure of reward and risk trade-offs is provided by SPY. [3]to the right of 10. Figure 1 The investor’s view of building wealth may look like a SPY, but Figure 2 should reveal why it’s not.

Why do all this calculations?
The purpose of Figure 2 is to attempt universally comparable answers for each stock to: b) How likely is it that the reward will be a positive experience? c) how quickly it will occur; d) what price drawdown risk may occur during the active holding period.
After briefly examining the Figure 2 You may want to skip to viewing the next section TTEK price range forecast trend.
The column headers in Figure 2 define the preferred component of the stock investment selection for each row whose symbols appear on the left side of the column.

In addition to candidate-specific stocks, these selection considerations are the average of the approximately 3,000 stocks for which MM price range predictions are currently available, and the top 20 stocks ( form) In addition to these forecasts, we also include forecasts for the S&P 500 Index ETF as a proxy for the stock market.

The thick dot on each vertical line is the closing price of the stock on the day the prediction was made.
That market price point clearly defines the price reward and risk exposure expectations held by market participants at that time, providing a visual representation of the vertical balance of risk and reward.
A measure of that balance is the range index (RI).
With today’s RI, we expect a price movement of 8.5%. Of the 123 previous forecasts like today’s RI, 107 are profitable.
