I have been using the Altimetry service for a little over 3 years now. I have also subscribed to a number of other investment services. I always run every other stock pickers recommendations through the altimeter before deciding if I should invest. The importance of adjusting a company's GAAP stated earnings to uniform accounting cannot be over emphasized. The fact that all 10 of the nations top 10 money managers utilize their service speaks volumes. I have the "Partnership" level service so I get all their recommendations. They have a longer term approach. You generally should expect to stay in a stock they recommend for 9-24 months. If a recommendation falls more than 20% they recommend you sell. It's a disciplined approach. All recommendations must pass through their investment policy committee. All their recommendations are targeted to at least double from the recommended price. (Of course, not all of them do.) Their master classes are great. I have learned a lot. Did you know over 85% of all analysts recommendations are buy or hold? Had I taken the master classes in my 30's there is much I would have done differently and I would have a larger portfolio to manage. What stops me from giving them from 5 stars is better guidance on timing when to invest. They recommend dollar cost averaging your way in over time. If you do that, many recommendations reach their maximum buy price before you get fully in. A recent master class on how Joel Litman uses the altimeter to evaluate companies was very insightful for me. I feel like the longer I use the service, the better an investor I will become. I didn't dive in the deep end. Up until a few months ago, I still had more than half my investments in a growth stock fund and a high dividend fund. Even with that, I have beaten the S&P for the first 10 months of 2025, but only by about 3 percentage points. If I can't get up to beating it by 10% yearly within a few years of being fully invested in my Altimetry assisted picks, I will take Joel Litmans advice and just buy VOO and spend more time on my hobbies. It is pricey, so you will need to consider how much you have to invest and whether you can earn enough extra return to make it worth the cost.
