The OP System is a patented stock search engine which enables investors and investment advisors to find suitable stocks for their portfolio of common stocks.

It enables the investor to find individual stocks that are within levels of safety, return on investment, and Timeliness (price appreciation potential) he stipulates. The System, taking current prices of all stocks into account, then finds those stocks which are forecast to have maximum growth of sales, earnings, or dividends per dollar invested, factors which should enhance the probability of the most profitable future performance.

For the user who wishes to use the System to produce an Optimum Portfolio of common stocks, all he need do is to have it find the number of stocks he wishes to include in his portfolio.

For example an investor may ask the System to find a portfolio of fifteen stocks that have highest safety, 2 ½ percent dividends, high Timeliness, and maximum growth of dividends in the next 3-5 years and the System will find them.

We have found the best source of accurate financial data on which to base the OP System is The Value Line Investment Survey™ which covers a universe of about 1700 stocks in 98 industries. It provides data on every aspect of each stock over the past 16 years along with its analysts’ rankings, quantitative estimates and projections of sales, earnings and dividends over the next 3-5 years.

All Value Line data is updated weekly and stock prices daily.
