How accurate are Steve Barger's stock ratings?
Based on the calls 13Foresight could measure, about 61% of Steve's ratings were profitable over a one-year hold, with an average return of +7.5% per rating, or +0.8% versus the S&P 500. We score every analyst the same way, from historical prices. Each return is measured in the stock's own trading currency, so for non-US listings the S&P 500 comparison leaves out currency moves.
How is Steve ranked on 13Foresight?
Steve Barger is currently ranked #852 with a 4-star rating. Our rank blends hit rate, average return versus the market, and how many calls we have to judge — so a long, consistent record outweighs a few lucky picks. It is our own calculation, updated daily.
