  • Combining AAII and BetterInvesting’s methodologies builds quality portfolios and reduces emotional decision-making risks

Finding quality stocks to buy has never been more challenging. With thousands of publicly traded companies and endless market noise, individual investors need systematic approaches to identify promising opportunities and avoid costly mistakes.

AAII is partnering with BetterInvesting (BI) to help investors improve their ability to find and analyze stocks by combining two proven methodologies: AAII’s screening tools, which efficiently filter thousands of companies down to manageable candidate lists; and BetterInvesting’s Stock Selection Guide (SSG), which provides disciplined analysis to determine which stocks merit investment.

AAII’s 55 stock screens, based on strategies from successful investors like Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch, help investors discover opportunities they might otherwise miss. BetterInvesting’s time-tested SSG framework then guides the deeper analysis needed to evaluate growth potential and determine fair value.

Together, these complementary approaches create a complete workflow from initial discovery to final investment decision, helping individual investors build portfolios of quality companies while avoiding the emotional decision-making that often undermines long-term returns.
