Frequently asked questions
Best stocks to buy now?
The JPI Fair (balanced) selection: stocks where at least 2 analysts reliable on their sector are bullish, taking the median of their targets. The recommended formula — the best risk/reward trade-off in our backtests. The full list is in the table above, updated regularly.
How is this selection built?
We analyze the analysts, not the stocks: we replay every target against real prices, keep only those who beat their sector, then apply the JPI Fair (median of ≥2 sector-reliable analysts) formula. Details on the « method » page.
Can I switch methods?
Yes: the buttons at the top switch between the 3 methods (Cautious, Balanced, Aggressive) and the stocks common to all 3 — each method has its own URL.
What is JPI Invest?
JPI Invest aggregates analyst recommendations across the entire S&P 500 (plus the S&P MidCap 400), replays them against real prices and measures who predicts best — on results, not reputation. Instead of taking a price target at face value, you see each analyst's track record on each stock.
