Navellier & Associates was founded in 1980 by Louis G. Navellier. Based in Reno, Nevada, the firm focuses on growth investments. Navellier is the editor of four investment newsletters, Blue Chip Growth, Emerging Growth, Global Growth and Quantum Growth. Louis Navellier also authored a Business Week best seller, “The Little Book That Makes You Rich”.

Louis Navellier uses a system that grades stocks. According to his calculations, for the past 13 years his “A” graded stocks returned 1267.9% vs. SPY’s 61% (we haven’t verified this claim). His stock picking formula consists of two factors: fundamentals and buying pressures. He thinks fast growing firms are healthy, thriving and well managed. He uses technical indicators to measure buying pressures to time entry points for these healthy, growing stocks.
