navaratnas

Nine independent signals.
One verdict.

Each one stands on its own. None is enough. Most days, none align. Some days, a few do.

When all nine align — that is a Navaratnas.

Backtest · May 2024 — May 2026

The numbers, with the methodology behind them.

A walk-forward backtest with point-in-time fundamentals. Every score recomputed using only data the market had on that day. No survivorship bias, no peeking.

What this run did and didn't prove

  • Walk-forward, point-in-time fundamentals from 20 years of SEC-quality data.
  • Universe of 7 mega-cap names — narrower than the production screener will run.
  • Two-year window covered a single regime — a strong bull market.
  • Two of the nine signals required additional data infrastructure that was added after this iteration; the run reflects a 7-signal subset.
  • Methodology has not yet been stress-tested through a major drawdown era.
  • Production calibration re-runs every six months on accumulated live data; the composition of the nine may evolve.
What you'll receive

A weekly digest that knows what to do next.

The email arrives Monday morning. New releases at the top. Active positions you already hold flagged HOLD or EXIT against the playbook. The same template, every week.

The playbook, on every email

Buy. Hold. Exit.

The methodology is published in every release so subscribers can apply it identically. No personalized advice. No exceptions. The discipline is the product.

Entry
When a Navaratnas fires (9/9), buy at the next market open. Allocate 5–10% of equity capital per pick. Take every Navaratnas that fires; the statistical edge depends on you not cherry-picking.
Hold
Sixty days minimum, one hundred and twenty days target. Re-evaluate at day sixty: if the score is still seven of nine or higher, ride to one hundred and twenty.
Exit
Sell when any of: score drops to six of nine or below; a fifteen percent stop is hit from entry; one hundred and twenty days have elapsed. The Active positions table flags this for you weekly.
Discipline
Maximum two positions per sector. No averaging down on losers. Re-entry is allowed when a name returns to nine of nine — no memory, no grudges.

Some weeks there is nothing. That is the point. Conviction is a function of restraint.

Tiers

Pay for the system, not the picks.

The lowest tier sees every release at the same time as the highest tier. What you pay for at the higher tiers is access to the apparatus — the watchlist, the screener, the lens.

Questions.

What is a Navaratnas?

A stock that has all nine of our analytical signals aligned on the same trading day. Most days, none align. When all nine do, the name is released.

What are the nine signals?

Nine slots, continuously calibrated. The screen scores stocks against the strongest predictive signals at any moment, recalibrated each quarter on live data. The composition is proprietary and intentionally dynamic — what's in the nine today may differ from what was in it last quarter. The discipline of nine-of-nine alignment is the constant; the science evolves.

How often is a stock released?

Rarely. Eight of nine is interesting. Seven is noise. Only nine is a Navaratnas. Some weeks have one. Many weeks have none. That restraint is the discipline.

How long do you hold one?

Sixty days minimum, one hundred and twenty days target. Exit triggers are the score falling below seven of nine, a fifteen percent stop loss from entry, or one hundred and twenty days elapsed.

What is the historical performance?

In a 2024–2026 walk-forward backtest, the top alignment tier produced a 71–78% win rate at the 60- and 120-day windows, with three to five percentage points of alpha over the universe mean. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Is this investment advice?

No. Navaratnas operates as a publisher under the Investment Advisers Act publisher exemption (Lowe v. SEC, 1985). It does not provide personalized advice or manage subscriber accounts. Consult a licensed advisor before acting on any position.

Do you trade ahead of releases?

No. The team does not initiate or close positions in published names within forty-eight (48) hours before or after a release, and any held positions are disclosed in the email itself. The conflict policy is part of every issue.

What if a stock drops after release?

The −15% hard stop is part of the published playbook and is flagged in the next weekly digest. The system has a 71–78% historical win rate, which means roughly one in four picks will lose money even when followed correctly. Position sizing assumes that.

A note from us

We built Navaratnas because long-only quality investing still works — but only with the discipline to wait for full alignment of the signals that matter.

The screener runs every trading day across the U.S. equity universe. The infrastructure came first: a multi-source data pipeline with point-in-time correctness, then a walk-forward backtest against twenty years of quarterly history. We did the work that proves the methodology before we asked anyone to subscribe.

The composition of the nine is dynamic. Each quarter we recalibrate against the live forward-tracking ledger; the strongest predictors stay, weaker ones rotate out. You're subscribing to the discipline of nine-of-nine alignment applied to whichever nine signals are most predictive right now — not to a static formula. We will tell you when the methodology stops working as well as it did, and we will publish the rebalanced nine after every recalibration.

The conflict policy is written into every email: the team does not trade ahead of releases, and any held positions are disclosed in the issue.
