New Stock Rover GARP Screeners

 

GARP is short for Growth at a Reasonable Price. It is an investment strategy that combines the best of two worlds, growth and value, by finding growth companies that also sport reasonable valuations. GARP was popularized by Peter Lynch, the famous Fidelity Magellan Fund Investment Manager, who used GARP as the cornerstone of his investment strategy during his highly successful years as a Fidelity fund manager.

 

To celebrate the world according to GARP, we have added three GARP screeners to the library, one for each Stock Rover subscription level: Essentials, Premium, and Premium Plus. To read more about GARP and our new screeners, click here.

 
 

Economy

The Labor Department reported nonfarm productivity increased at a 4.6% annualized rate in the July-September quarter, this followed 10.6% rate of growth in the second quarter. Labor costs fell at a 6.6% rate in the third quarter. The economy expanded at a 33.1% annualized rate in the third quarter, this following a 31.4% pace of contraction in the second quarter. There still remains a large gap between output and unemployment, with the most recent figures showing an economy recouping about two-thirds of output and slightly more than half of the job losses.

 

The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey reported that job openings rose to 6.65 million in October from a revised 6.49 million in September.  Job openings increased in health care and social assistance and state and local government education. Decreases came in the areas of retail trade, accommodation and food services, and finance and insurance. Hires were little changed at 4.1%. The number of separations increased to 5.1 million (+263,000). Within separations, the quits rate was unchanged at 2.2% while the layoffs and discharges rate worsened to 1.2%.  About 1.7 workers competed for each opening in October, a decrease over September’s 1.9 workers.
