The 50‑Year Journey Behind the World’s Smartest Stock Rating
It all started in 1966 when a young Marc Chaikin walked onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Over the following five decades he became a well‑known name in institutional research — his Chaikin Money Flow indicator is a standard technical analysis tool widely available in professional financial data platforms today. Access to full institutional research platforms has historically been priced for professional trading desks; this consumer report distills the same core methodology into a format designed for the individual US investor.
But Marc never forgot the individual investor. He spent years building a system that could condense the chaos of 20 separate analytical models — financials, earnings quality, technical momentum, and expert sentiment — into one simple, color‑coded rating. Very Bullish. Bullish. Neutral. Bearish. Very Bearish. No PhD required. No hours of screen time. Just a clear, rules‑based read on how the system currently scores any stock.
Backtested across more than 10 years of historical market data and continuously refined by Chaikin Analytics’ quantitative research team, the Power Gauge covers over 5,000 US stocks and 2,300 ETFs. Stock ratings are updated daily, ETF ratings are re‑scored weekly, and every new subscription is backed by a 30‑day money‑back guarantee. Backtested and historical performance is provided for educational reference only and does not guarantee future results. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
