In this video, Chuck Carnevale (“Mr. Valuation”), co-founder of FAST Graphs, explains a simple and effective way to find high-quality stocks, even in an overvalued bull market.
The Easy Way To Find Good Stocks To Invest In.
Rather than relying on complex screening tools, Chuck demonstrates how investors can use FAST Graphs’ preset portfolios to quickly identify strong investment candidates. These portfolios, such as the S&P 500, Dividend Aristocrats, and Dividend Champions, already consist of companies that meet strict criteria—saving investors time and effort.
For growth investors, Chuck shows how to sort stocks by estimated earnings growth and evaluate their earnings yield. This helps identify companies with strong future potential. He walks through examples like Nvidia and others, emphasizing the importance of reviewing the forecasting tab to understand analyst expectations and potential returns. However, he cautions that forecasts are not guarantees and must be researched further.
For income investors, the focus shifts to dividend yield combined with earnings yield. Chuck explains how to identify reliable dividend-paying companies and evaluate their sustainability by reviewing historical performance, growth expectations, and cash flow. He highlights that higher yields alone aren’t enough—investors must also consider valuation and financial strength.
Chuck also explains how to handle different types of companies. For example, with REITs, traditional earnings metrics are replaced with price-to-AFFO (cash flow) to better assess value. This flexibility allows investors to properly evaluate various sectors.
A key takeaway is the importance of combining three core factors:
Growth
Income
Valuation
By using these together—and organizing ideas into custom portfolios—investors can build watchlists, track opportunities, and make more informed decisions.Ultimately, Chuck emphasizes that having the right tools simplifies investing. FAST Graphs helps investors cut through noise, focus on fundamentals, and efficiently find attractive opportunities—without needing to be an expert in every financial metric.
