Here's a challenge: take 3 minutes and try to find which US stock had the highest return over the last 6 months. I couldn't do it easily either which is exactly why I built Stockrankr.
Rankings exist for almost everything sports, cars, hotels based on objective results. I think stocks and ETFs need the same treatment. There s plenty of subjective opinion and black-box ratings nobody can check, yet investing should start with the hard facts.
Long before founding Stockrankr, I lost money in the dot-com bubble. That led me to Benjamin Graham's ideas on price vs. value, margin-of-safety, and to Warren Buffett's first rule don't lose money. But finding the basic data for a proper comparison wasn't easy it could take hours to download one annual report on a dial-up modem. That difficulty never really went away, despite all the new tech.
I have also found Drawdown how much an equity has dropped more relevant to people than volatility for assessing risk. And in 2010 published the Risk-Return Ratio (RRR) return divided by drawdown, a formula checkable by anyone on Wikipedia.
Stockrankr ranks 10,000+ US stocks and ETFs daily by Return, Drawdown, and RRR. Every security also gets its own Stockrankr Matrix a 3 3 grid across three timeframes to highlight consistent performance.
