About Stocksift

The Problem: Too Much Noise.

The Stocksift Letter was created to solve one problem: to sift through the noise so you don’t have to — and deliver the top 25 stock picks that are actually worth your attention.

Modern markets are flooded with opinions, alerts, and narratives. Most investors don’t struggle because they lack information — they struggle because there’s too much of it. The result is overtrading, emotional decisions, and chasing bad ideas.

We believe your stock sifting edge doesn’t come from more information — it comes from better filtering.

Outperformance by Exclusion, Not Speculation

Most losses come from weak setups, information overload, and speculative narratives with no real edge. Instead of asking which stocks to pick, we focus on which stocks to exclude — leaving a smaller, higher-quality set that’s more likely to win.

At Stocksift, we believe long-term outperformance doesn’t come from predicting the next breakout. It comes from consistently excluding what doesn’t belong.

A useful parallel comes from software engineering hiring. Experienced teams know it’s far riskier to hire a bad engineer than to miss a good one. As a result, interview processes are often designed to filter out a large portion of candidates early — prioritizing exclusion over selection.

We apply the same logic to stock selection.

Every stock must meet objective, rules-based criteria. If it fails, it’s excluded — regardless of hype, headlines, or popularity. This discipline reduces risk first and allows strength to surface naturally, keeping the index focused, adaptive, and resilient across market cycles.

Outperformance isn’t about being early. It’s about being selective.
