The blog Political Calculations has written a review of The Stock-Return Predictor. We won the “Silver Standard” designation. This is a whole big bunch better than winning the “Outright Awful” designation, assigned to online tools “that actually Make You Stupider.” I am naturally relieved.
In all seriousness, the review is an intelligent and nicely balanced write-up. I am grateful that the owner of the blog was willing to take the time to look at the calculator and to report on it to his readership.
Juicy Excerpt: “While not cutting-edge where stock market theory is concerned (that’s our bailiwick!), The Stock-Return Predictor will provide a reasonably good rule-of-thumb for informing a potential user’s stock market investing decisions. The tool provides a neat approach for delivering high quality information to the tool’s intended audience. What’s more, we really like the valuation-based approach since this helps communicate some of the risk that an investor may be taking on when making a new investment. The user-interface could use some serious refreshing, but overall, we find this tool satisfies our requirements for earning our Silver Standard. It’s informative, it’s based on solid data and it provides useful results.”
And best of all — it doesn’t make you stupider!


This is a wonderful review. Thanks.
Have fun.

I agree that Ironman did a fine job.
I haven’t had time yet to look it all over, but it appears to me that there is a lot of interesting stuff at that blog (Political Calculations). I like the concept a lot. I’m going to go back to that one from time to time (and add it to my blogroll).
