A Look at Stock Rover

Alex Reisman of Stock Rover gives an overview of the online stock research platform.

At a glance:

• Online stock research software
• Screening, stock comparison & portfolio analysis
• Link to brokerage for automatic portfolio syncing
• Free & paid membership plans

Stock Rover is an interactive “dashboard” where you can engage in robust stock research. Stock Rover’s goal is to help individual investors make informed, independent decisions and to support them in their investing goals.

There are two membership levels: Basic (free) and Premium ($249.99/year or $74.99/quarter). Both levels provide detailed data on North American tickers, using the same integrated, comparison-oriented format. The major advantages that Premium offers over Basic are more financial metrics, 10 years of historical data rather than five, data export to offline CSV files, more flexible screening, deeper portfolio analysis, portfolio planning tools, and an ad-free environment. A 14-day free trial of Premium is available to all users (no payment information is needed; learn how to start the trial here).

Once you register for the FREE version and sign in you will go to a Summary page.  Look for an Orange button in the upper right corner of the page that says : “Launch SR” and click on that.  This will take you to the Stock Rover Basic application shown in the screen shot below.

The above screen shot is showing where the strong sectors of the overall S&P is right now.  You can sort by any of the columns.  Day traders want to see what's strong now.  Swing traders might want to see what’s strong over the past 5 days while trend traders or intermediate traders might look at the past month for strength.  Then you can drill down into the sectors to show what industries are strongest then drill into the industries for a list of stocks in that industry to see what particular companies are the strongest.  Once you select a company details of the stock show up using the tabs, side bar and comparisons highlighted in the screen shot below.

Good site well worth the time to register and learn how to use…
