How to use Wall Street insights to buy the best stocks

If you could pick up your phone and ask Wall Street’s best and brightest stock pickers where stocks like Apple, Amazon, and Tesla were heading next – would you?

For most – the answer is a no brainer. It’s a yes! 

The problem? Getting access to those financial hot-shots and their research has typically been reserved for the ultra-wealthy or the ultra-well-connected. 

Syfe changes that. With the Syfe app – you can tap into Wall Street insights and discover where those top analysts think popular stocks like the ones we mentioned above, and more, are potentially heading next. 

Why Wall Street insights matter

With access to Wall Street insights you can quickly get a read on three important things about a stock:

#1: Whether a stock is liked or loathed by analysts. Syfe gives you a quick-read on the rating analysts currently have on a stock, whether that be a Buy, Sell, or Hold rating.  

#2: The price that analysts expect a stock to trade at in the next 12-months. Here you’ll get a view of the average analyst price target, as well as the high and low bull and bear cases analysts have on a particular stock. 

This information is useful because it can help you figure out just how much upside potential - that is, how much a stock might increase from its current price - analysts think a particular stock has.  

#3: For those looking to take their analysis to the next level, Syfe also provides a view on how a stock is trading relative to its forward earnings estimates and history. 

This information is important because markets are forward looking (focused on what a company might do in the future), not backwards looking (what a company has done in the past).
