UPDATE: 2/5/23 – Its hard to beat a microcap screen like this one. I can say that a number of these have been populating in the Finviz microcap screens in the past few weeks. All the more validating to see Value Line saying the same thing:
An interesting screening result, based on the somewhat Lynch concept, of selecting brand new, small, but fast-growing companies that have made some crazy sales in the recent past (One Up on Wall Street, chs. 10, 12). I’m sort of confused why Rite Aid and Yellow popped up though (the annual reports may indicate that while they are making sales, these older companies’ assets may be declining, and their long-term debt may be increasing):
UPDATE: 2/5/23 – These would be more of Peter Lynch type growth stock screens, but sales growth are factored into both:
Remark Holdings (MARK) would definitely be the type of growth stock that Peter Lynch would buy, because in the past three years or so, it has been INCREASING ITS “CASH” ASSETS and DECREASING ITS LONG-TERM DEBT. You can find this on the “Financial Statements: Balance Sheet” of a stock on Value Line and the “Financials: Balance Sheet” of a stock on MarketWatch.
UPDATE: 2/6/23 – If you could accumulate as much as $20,000 and put it all into ZIM Integrated Shipping Services (ZIM), and hold it for 5 years straight, then TipRanks predicts you would have $2 million in 5 years.
UPDATE: 2/7/23 – I think this would be a very Lynch type stock screen when applied to short-term trading in microcap stocks. After reading chs. 14-15 in One Up on Wall Street about the fast growers, I came to this conclusion for screening stocks on Finviz.com:
1. Market Cap: -Micro (under $300mln).
2. EPS growth qtr after qtr: over 10%.
This simple method assumes screening out short-term trading stocks which are in the expansion phase of the fast-growing small company. It assumes that the company is at least growing at 10% profitability every quarter (or every three months). This means that they are increasing their cash position and decreasing their debt from business loans. The result of this screen populates the majority of the Top Gainers on the whole finviz.com website, while at the same time increasing the trader’s chances with the odds, by reducing the total number of stocks to choose from, down to 827.
A stricter EPS growth screen for short-term trading. The next step would be to confirm on their stock’s balance sheet, that their cash assets are increasing and their long-term debt liability is decreasing, on Value Line and MarketWatch:
UPDATE: 2/10/23 – I’d have to believe that if you bought just one share for all of these microcap stocks, just for monitoring purposes, then you would increase your odds of winning what Peter Lynch calls a few “pleasant surprises” with “tenbaggers” (One Up on Wall Street, pp. 242-243). This screen assumes all of the stocks are: 1. Under $300m Market Cap (Microcaps). 2. The stock price is under $10 which gives it plenty of room to grow by an upward price movement. 3. The price change is up at least 1% green every day. 4. The stocks are all in the USA (higher SEC standards and no communism). 5. Quarterly sales growth is above 30%. These are five criteria for, I would have to imagine after having read 90% of Lynch, a list of very strong short-term stocks that could become potential tenbaggers. As you can see a fourbagger populated at the top of this screen–OUT OF A TOTAL OF ONLY 54 STOCKS TO CHOOSE FROM. Except for the gambling, abortion drug, LGBT, and porno companies, even if I owned one share of 90% of the stocks on this list–my odds of landing a three, four, five, six or sevenbagger, or higher are pretty good I’d think.
Then again: this screen might increase the odds of winning a tenbagger even more. Disregard the gambling stock. The stock price of HCPO gradually increased a few pennies, and then dropped, with a “pleasant surprise” of 400% on 2/8/23. The stock price of EIGR has been gradually increasing by pennies and eventually to a $1 increase recently. It seems like it would be just the kind of stock for a “pleasant surprise” of dramatic gain in the future.
But a screen like above might be too restrictive for those who want to buy a mess of penny stocks to spread across their portfolio for monitoring. So, you could just go with this and buy 200 penny stocks with it:
Recent bigbaggers have been the following:
1. HPCO – 482% on 2/10/23 – Industry: Drug Manufacturer – USA – Market Cap: $111m – Price: $4.40.
2. MSGM – 713% on 1/31/23 – Industry: Electronic Gaming – USA – Market Cap: $150m – Price: $21.
3. VS – 247% on 2/1/23 – Industry: Software: App – Canada – Market Cap: $1.23m – Price: $2.12.
4. BGXX – 228% on 2/1/23 – Industry: Healthcare – USA – Market Cap: $89m – Price: $1.72.

UPDATE: 1/31/23 – I stand corrected. There actually are college textbooks about investing. I suppose this would be for people trying to get a bachelor’s degree in economics and finance. I’ve even come across a degree called the B.A. in Finance and Investment, but these usually seem to be only found in British Empire type countries. Although I did see one degree called the B.S. in Investment Management in Boca Raton, Florida at Lynn University. Apparently the two leading textbooks for classes like this are the following:
1. Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane, Alan Marcus, eds. Investments, 12th ed. (McGraw Hill, 2020).
2. Bradford Jordan, Thomas Miller, and Steve Dolvin, eds. Fundamentals of Investments, 9th ed. (McGraw Hill, 2020).
I guess you could call this a PLAYING THE ODDS STOCK SCREEN. If this method works, then it could mean that for every 130 IPO stocks that you buy, that one of them could blow up to 700% some day…
Here’s a 1 in 53 odds stock screen. A whole lot better than the 1 in 301 million odds you play with a lottery ticket I’d say. Buy 1 share of all 53 of these stocks and watch what happens in a week or so.
UPDATE: 2/1/23 – Here’s an example of a 1-IN-28 “PLAYING THE ODDS” STOCK SCREEN. I have every reason to believe this could be very profitable for investors who decide to buy all of these (just 1 share) for monitoring the price movements in real-time on schwab.com. Then when one of them blows up to 200% or 300%, put more money into it. My observation is that screening by IPO date actually limits opportunities for finding fast growers. So I have excluded that criterion from my screens. The only ones that seem to matter are these: 1. Market Cap: -Micro (under $300mln). 2. Change: Up 15%. Notice how Motorsport Games (MSGM) still populated in this screen. Just as Genius Group (GNS) populated in the last one. Each of those was at 713% a day and 206% at one point. Screening for microcap stocks really seems to be the way to hit home runs with stocks. Its at least part of the puzzle of the investments picture. Even the government put out a pamphlet called Microcap Stock: A Guide for Investors (2004), as if to say I’m really onto something here, so better play by the rules.
UPDATE: 2/1/23 – Here’s a 1-in-22 Odds Stock Screen. This is the best one yet I think. Buy ’em and watch what happens (except for non-BRI ones).
Which do you think is a better way to make money? A 1-in-22 odds microcap stock that could double or triple or even multiply your money seven times in one day? Or a local Cash Pop lottery ticket for $1 or $2 that gives you a 1-in-31 chance of winning a grand return of $5 or $10? Its a no-brainer! Screen for microcaps! Buy 22 of these and watch for price percentage changes on schwab.com daily. If one goes into 200%, 300%, or higher, then put some money in to multiply your gains. Its just that simple!
Of course, another odds-advantaged way to screen for stocks would be this way. In this case, I left out the criterion of Market Cap entirely, because Finviz just didn’t have information on it for two stocks (-). So I just used:
1. Price: Under $2.
2. Change: Up 20%.
This resulted in 28 growth stocks with FOUR of them growing fast–I repeat–FOUR OF THE 28 STOCKS from this screen were currently in rallies ranging from 100% to 200%. If you bought 1 share of all 28 of those stocks, then you’d be sittin’ pretty today, for some growth opportunities, provided you put a couple thousand into each of those four fast growers.
Although it seems all that is necessary to get the most out of a growth stock screen is just this one criterion: Change: Up 20%…
UPDATE: 2/2/23 – The potential for stock price manipulation by the financial press. This has been one of the thoughts I’ve had provoked by reading chapter 8 of One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch. To my surprise, although Lynch is a big supporter of penny stocks and microcap stocks, or stocks that sell anywhere from 25 cents to $3 dollars, at the same time he speaks against investing in any of the high-tech, biotechnology, or software companies that often pop up in this category. Mergers and acquisitions: an often frequent microcap category–he’s supportive of that. But the high-tech microcap stocks: a big fat NO from Peter Lynch. Why? Well, he doesn’t quite come out and say it like this, but I think I can get the gist of his notion: it all seems to boil down to whether the company’s product is easy enough for a reporter to write about it in an article in the financial press. The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Inc, Fast Company, Forbes, Fortune, and Bloomberg Businessweek–although Lynch doesn’t come out and say it like this–it seems that this is part of what he’s hinting at. If the company, if the stock, is sensational, easy to understand, or might even have a goofy product or goofy company name: there’s a higher chance of that stock getting written up by some reporter in the financial press. I think that Lynch might agree with me, and just common sense, that the average reporter has no interest in writing about complicated biotechnology and software subjects. Most reporters are young and fresh out of college anyway: they are the furthest thing from a grey-haired security analyst who only looks at stock numbers, percentages, and P/E ratios. When a financial reporter publishes some article about an easy-to-understand stock, then it can often create a feeding frenzy and sometimes cause that stock’s price to go up 200% or 300%, after the financial article has been published. So when you’re buying, selling, and trading stocks–its good to pay close attention to which stocks were being written about either yesterday or today in the high-profile financial publications. However, I can’t say which publication has the most microcap feeding frenzy influence out of all of them. It seems to me that the most efficient way to keep a pulse on recent stock news would be to skim over the Finviz News page every day.
TEST THE HYPOTHESIS: (for “financial press” I typed the company and stock ticker into Google: then I click on the “News” feature, then I clicked on “Tools” on the right, then I clicked on “Sorted by relevance” and switched to “Sorted by date.” Then I looked to see if any significant news articles, were published about the following rally stocks, the day before their their stock prices soared. Was there a possible cause-and-effect relationship between a stock news writeup the day before and the same stock’s price soaring the next day? We shall see…)
1. Genius Group (GNS) – 290% on 1/19/23 – financial press: 1/18/23–the only two articles that I found posted the day before the GNS rally were one by stocksregister.com and businesswire.com – the first one said “Genius Group (GNS): A Hidden Gem Despite Volatility” and the second website (owned by Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett’s company) said: “Genius Group Wins Real Leaders Impact Awards.” The Google chart shows that the price of GNS had been steadily rising from 40 cents to 58 cents (from January 6th to January 17th), it slightly dipped to 54 cents on 1/18/23, and then exploded to $2.09 on 1/19/23, which resulted in a 290% gain for that day. It continued to soar to $4.71 on 1/23/23 which is when it reached its height; and then it started to decline the next day. GNS started out as a penny stock going for 32 cents.
2. Motorsport Games (MSGM) – 713% on 1/31/23 – financial press:
3. Versus Systems (VS) – 247% on 2/1/23 – financial press:
4. Mobile Global Exports (MGAM) – 161% on 1/31/23 – financial press:
5. Bright Green Corporation (BGXX) – 228% on 2/1/23 – financial press:
6. Digital Health Acquisition Corp (DGACW) – 200% on 2/1/23 – financial press:
8. Golden Sun Education Group Limited (GSUN) – 125% on 2/1/23 – financial press:
There also might be something to be said about the popularity of a company with regard to its stock growth. It would likely have to be sudden, newfound popularity. One quick way to determine if one company is astronomically more popular than other ones, is to type all of the stock companies that you are considering into Google and mark how many results popped up. For example, as of the writing, Innovative Eyewear is at 100% on Finviz. When compared to the other stock rallies, it blows them out of the water in terms of Google results: almost 14,000,000 results on the search.
COPY PETER LYNCH AND YOU CAN’T GO WRONG
A lot of the hyper-analysis of Graham, Buffett, and even Lynch at times seems to be kind of a drag; and might actually hinder financial success through stocks. At the end of the day, I’m growing to view stocks as a playing the odds game. It seems to me that the only way to win at a game of odds like this is to have a stake in practically every growth stock. Then when one of your 1,000 stocks blows up to 200% or 300%, just put more money into it in order to multiply it. Why 1,000? Here’s what Lynch said:
How do you design a portfolio to get that 12-15 percent return? How many stocks should you own? Right away I can tell you this: Don’t own 1,400 stocks if you can help it, but that’s my problem and not yours. You don’t have to worry about the 5-percent rule and the 10-percent rule and the $9 billion to manage (One Up on Wall Street, p. 241).
Here he’s warning against overdiversification. If you put a lot of money into 1,000 stocks, then that would hinder your growth. But I believe that overdiversification only becomes a problem when the asset allocation is blown out of proportion. Like, for example, if you put $100 into 1,000 stocks, the likelihood of you losing $100,000 would be very high. And unlike Lynch, I’m not talking about a set-it-and-forget-it mutual fund. All I’m saying, is that in order to get visibility on real-time stock price movements, this is something you absolutely need to have in your portfolio, if you want to take advantage of sudden, surprising, and profitable trading opportunities. This aspect is worth buying 1,000 stocks in my opinion. But when I say, “Buying 1,000 stocks,” I basically mean buying only one share of each of those stocks at first. And then only deciding to add more shares to the stocks that start to dramatically gain by price increases (Lynch, op. cit., p. 126). But why stop at 1,000 stocks. There’s over 8,000 stocks on the stock market. I suppose the ideal situation would be to own one share of every single stock on the stock market; and then once one of them blows up, THEN DO YOUR ANALYSIS, and ask yourself if you have a clean conscience about ADDING MORE SHARES for financial growth.
UPDATE: 2/4/23 – As you can see I’ve been literally living inside of Finviz for weeks trying to understand growth stocks, and especially the microcap stocks within the growth stock category. These are “price appreciation” stocks: not the type of stocks you’d expect dividends from and hold for years and years. These are the type of stocks that you buy, with the expectation that one day they will double or triple your money, and then you can sell your shares, and take your gains to the bank. To see many of these same stocks pulled aside and appearing again on the “Total Return” screen for Value Line was very reassuring:
About this time the Sodomites grew proud, on account of their riches and great wealth: they became unjust towards men, and impious towards God: insomuch that they did not call to mind the advantages they received from him: they hated strangers, and abused themselves with Sodomitical practices. God was therefore much displeased at them; and determined to punish them for their pride, and to overthrow their city, and to lay waste their country. –Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 1.11.1
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.” –Genesis 12:1
Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers.* –Psalm 1:1
—
*A mocker is not a person who laughs at your jokes; its a person who laughs at you, because they reject you, make fun of you, ridicule your views and personality, and basically make you out to be a fool. Merriam-Webster says it is a teaser who “causes repeated emotional pain, distress, or annoyance to another.” Adam Clarke said, “He who has no religion; lives in the open breach of God’s laws, and turns revelation, the immortality of the soul, and the existence of an invisible world, into ridicule. He is at least a deist, and endeavours to dissolve, as much as he can, the bonds of moral obligation in civil society. As the sinner exceeds the ungodly, so the scornful exceeds both.” Abraham’s “household” or his family in Haran had apparently been acting this way toward him. The extra-Biblical content that I was referring to in this video was not from the Talmud, but from the Midrash: specifically Bereishit Rabbah 38-39. It says these things, which correct me in several places:
Bereishit Rabbah 38:13
“And Haran died in the presence of his father Terach.” Rabbi Hiyya said: Terach was a manufacturer of idols. He once went away somewhere and left Abraham to sell them in his place. A man came in and wished to buy one.” How old are you?” Abraham asked the man. “Fifty years old,” he said. “Woe to such a man, who is fifty years old and would worship a day old object!” Avraham said. On another occasion a woman came in with a plateful of flour and requested him, “Take this and offer it to them.” So he took a stick and broke them, and put the stick in the hand of the largest. When his father returned he demanded, “What have you done to them?” “I cannot conceal it from you. A woman came with a plateful of fine meal and requested me to offer it to them. One claimed, ‘I must eat first,’ while another claimed, ‘I must eat first.’ Thereupon, the largest arose, took the stick and broke them.” “Why do you make sport of me? Have they any knowledge?” Terach said. “Should not your ears hear what your mouth has said?” Avraham said. Thereupon Terach seized him and delivered him to Nimrod. “Let us worship fire,” Nimrod said. “Let us rather worship water which quenches fire,” Avraham said. “Let us worship water,” Nimrod said. “Let us rather worship the clouds which bear the water,” Avraham said. “Let us then worship the clouds,” Nimros said. “Let us worship the wind which disperses the clouds,” Avraham said. “Let us worship the wind,” Nimrod said. “Let us worship human beings which can stand up to the wind,” Avraham said. “You are just bandying words, and we will worship nothing but the fire. Behold, I will cast you into it, and let your God whom you adore come and save you from it!” Nimrod said. Now Haran was standing there undecided. “If Avraham is victorious, I will say that I am of Avraham’s belief, while if Nimrod is victorious, I will say that I am on Nimrod’s side,” he thought. When Avraham descended into the fiery furnace and was saved, Nimrod asked him, “Of whose belief are you?” “Of Abraham’s,” he replied. Thereupon he seized him and cast him into the fire; his innards were scorched and he died in the presence of his father. Hence it is written, “And Haran died in the presence of his father Terach.”
Bereishit Rabbah 39:1
“G-d said to Abram, ‘Go forth from your land…’” (Genesis 12:1) Rabbi Yitzchak opened: “Listen, daughter, look, and incline your ear, and forget your people and your father’s house.” (Psalms 45:11) Rabbi Yitzchak said: this may be compared to a man who was traveling from place to place when he saw a castle aglow. He said, “Is it possible that this castle lacks a person to look after it?” The owner of the building looked at him and said to him, ‘I am the master of the castle.’” What happened with Abraham our father was similar. He said, “Is it possible that this universe lacks a person to look after it?,” the Holy Blessed One looked at him and said to him, ‘I am the Master of the Universe.’” “And let the king be aroused by your beauty since he is your master” (Psalms 45:12) And let the king be aroused for your beauty in the universe. “And bow to him” (Psalms 45:12) Hence, G-d said to Abram, [go forth…].
Bereishit Rabbah 39:2
“G-d said to Abram…” (Genesis 12:1) Rabbi Berekhyah opened: “Your perfumes have good fragrance, your name is poured-out oil” (Song of Songs 1:3) Rabbi Berekhyah said: to what was Abraham our father similar? to a flask of balsam-tree juice close with a tight lid, placed in a corner and its fragrance was not emitted. When it was moved, its fragrance was emitted. Thus the Holy Blessed One said to Abraham our Father, move yourself from place to place and your name will become great in the world…
Bereishit Rabbah 39:6
Rabbi Azariah in the name of Rabbi Acha opened: “You love justice and hate evil, therefore God, your God has anointed you with oil of joy over your peers” (Pslams 45:8). Rabbi Azariah solved this verse [as being in reference to] Abraham: at the time that Abraham our father stood to request mercy for the Sodomites, what is written there? “Far be it from you to do this thing – to kill the righteous with the evildoer so that [the righteous is like the evildoer] – should not the judge of all the earth do justly?” (Genesis 18:25) Rabbi Acha said: you swore and said that you would not bring a flood ever again – why have you violated your vow?! It is strange! A flood of water you won’t bring, but a flood of fire you will bring?! If so, you have not fulfilled your vow. “Does not the judge of all the earth do justice” If you want a world, you can’t have strict justice; if you want strict justice, you can’t have a world. How can you hold a world with two heads? You want a world and strict justice – Choose one of them! If you cannot give up a little, the world cannot exist. The Holy Blessed One said to him: Abraham, “you love justice and hate evil… over your peers” Who is your peer? From Noah to you, [there were] 10 generations, and from all of them I have not spoken with one of them other than you.
Bereishit Rabbah 39:7
YHVH said to Abram, “Go forth from your land…” (Genesis 12:1) What was written prior to this matter? “…and Teraḥ died in Ḥaran.” (Genesis 11:32) Rabbi Yitzḥak said: if the matter is the math, then up to now [where Avram leaves, for Teraḥ to be dead,] it would need another 65 years, but initially, you can interpret that evildoers are called “dead” during their lives. It is because Abraham our father was afraid and said, “If I go out, they will profane the Heavenly Name through me and say that he left his father and went during his [father’s] old age. The Holy One Blessed Be He said to him, I exempt you from honoring father and mother, but I do not exempt [any] other from honoring father and mother. And not only that, but I moved forward his death to before your going out: first, “And Teraḥ died in Ḥaran.”, and afterwards “And YHVH said to Avram.”

JOSEPHUS, ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS
Chapter 7.
How Abram our fore-father went out of the land of the Chaldeans, and lived in the land then called Canaan, but now Judea.
1. Now Abram having no son of his own, adopted Lot, his brother Haran’s son, and his wife Sarai’s brother; and he left the land of Chaldea, when he was seventy five years old: and at the command of God went into Canaan, and therein he dwelt himself, and left it to his posterity. He was a person of great sagacity, both for understanding all things, and persuading his hearers, and not mistaken in his opinions. For which reason he began to have higher notions of virtue than others had; and he determined to renew and to change the opinion all men happened then to have concerning God. For he was the first that ventured to publish this notion, that there was but One God, the Creator of the Universe: and that as to other [Gods], if they contributed any thing to the happiness of men, that each of them afforded it only according to his appointment, and not by their own power. This his opinion was derived from the irregular phenomena that were visible both at land and sea; as well as those that happen to the sun, and moon, and all the heavenly bodies, thus: “If [said he] these bodies had power of their own, they would certainly take care of their own regular motions: but since they do not preserve such regularity, they make it plain that in so far as they co-operate to our advantage, they do it not of their own abilities, but as they are subservient to him that commands them: to whom alone we ought justly to offer our honour and thanksgiving.” For which doctrines when the Chaldeans and other people of Mesopotamia raised a tumult against him, he thought fit to leave that country; and at the command, and by the assistance of God, he came and lived in the land of Canaan. And when he was there settled, he built an altar, and performed a sacrifice to God.
2. Berosus mentions our father Abram without naming him, when he says thus; “In the tenth generation after the flood, there was among the Chaldeans a man, righteous, and great, and skilful in the celestial science.” But Hecatæus does more than barely mention him; for he composed, and left behind him, a Book concerning him. And Nicolaus of Damascus, in the fourth Book of his History says thus: “Abram reigned at Damascus; being a foreigner, who came with an army out of the land above Babylon, called the land of the Chaldeans. But after a long time he got him up, and removed from that country also, with his people, and went into the land then called the land of Canaan, but now the land of Judea: and this when his posterity were become a multitude; as to which posterity of his we relate their history in another work. Now the name of Abram is even still famous in the country of Damascus; and there is shewed a village named from him, The Habitation of Abram.”
Chapter 8.
That when there was a famine in Canaan, Abram went thence into Egypt; and after he had continued there a while, he returned back again.
1. Now after this, when a famine had invaded the land of Canaan, and Abram had discovered that the Egyptians were in a flourishing condition, he was disposed to go down to them: both to partake of the plenty they enjoyed, and to become an auditor of their Priests, and to know what they said concerning the Gods: designing either to follow them, if they had better notions than he; or to convert them into a better way, if his own notions proved the truest. Now seeing he was to take Sarai with him, and was afraid of the madness of the Egyptians with regard to women, lest the King should kill him on occasion of his wife’s great beauty, he contrived this device: He pretended to be her brother; and directed her in a dissembling way to pretend the same: for he said, it would be for their benefit. [About An. 1960] Now as soon as they came into Egypt, it happened to Abram as he supposed it would. For the fame of his wife’s beauty was greatly talked of: for which reason Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, would not be satisfied with what was reported of her, but would needs see her himself; and was preparing to enjoy her. But God put a stop to his unjust inclinations, by sending upon him a distemper, and a sedition against his government. And when he enquired of the Priests, how he might be freed from these calamities, they told him, that his miserable condition was derived from the wrath of God, upon account of his inclinations to abuse the stranger’s wife. He then, out of fear, asked Sarai who she was? and who it was that she brought along with her? And when he had found out the truth, he excused himself to Abram, that supposing the woman to be his sister, and not his wife, he set his affections on her, as desiring an affinity with him by marrying her; but not as incited by lust to abuse her. He also made him a large present in money; and gave him leave to enter into conversation with the most learned among the Egyptians. From which conversation, his virtue and his reputation became more conspicuous than they had been before.
2. For whereas the Egyptians were formerly addicted to different customs, and despised one anothers sacred and accustomed rites, and were very angry one with another on that account; Abram conferred with each of them, and confuting the reasonings they made use of, every one for their own practices, he demonstrated that such reasonings were vain, and void of truth. Whereupon he was admired by them, in those conferences, as a very wise man, and one of great sagacity, when he discoursed on any subject he undertook; and this not only in understanding it, but in persuading other men also to assent to him. He communicated to them Arithmetick; and delivered to them the science of Astronomy. (28) For before Abram came into Egypt they were unacquainted with those parts of learning: for that science came from the Chaldeans into Egypt; and from thence to the Greeks also.
3. As soon as Abram was come back into Canaan, he parted the land between him and Lot, upon account of the tumultuous behaviour of their shepherds, concerning the pastures wherein they should feed their flocks. However, he gave Lot his option, or leave to chuse which lands he would take; and he took, himself, what the other left; which were the lower grounds at the foot of the mountains: and he himself dwelt in Hebron; which is a city seven years ancienter than Tanis of Egypt. But Lot possessed the land of the plain, and the river Jordan, not far from the city of Sodom: which was then a fine city, but is now destroyed, by the will and wrath of God: the cause of which I shall shew in its proper place hereafter.
Chapter 9.
The destruction of the Sodomites by the Assyrian War.
1. At this time, when the Assyrians had the dominion over Asia, the people of Sodom were in a flourishing condition; both as to riches, and the number of their youth. There were five Kings that managed the affairs of this country: Ballas, Barsas, Senabar, and Sumobor, with the King of Bela; and each King led on his own troops. And the Assyrians made war upon them, and dividing their army into four parts, fought against them. Now every part of the army had its own commander: and when the battle was joined, the Assyrians were conquerors, and imposed a tribute upon the Kings of the Sodomites, who submitted to this slavery twelve years; and so long they continued to pay their tribute: but on the thirteenth year they rebelled; and then the army of the Assyrians came upon them, under their commanders, Amraphel, Arioch, Chodorlaomor, and Tidal. These Kings had laid waste all Syria, and overthrown the offspring of the Giants. And when they were come over against Sodom, they pitched their camp at the vale called the Slimepits: for at that time there were pits in that place: but now, upon the destruction of the city of Sodom, that vale became the Lake Asphaltites, as it is called: however, concerning this Lake, we shall speak more presently. Now when the Sodomites joined battel with the Assyrians, and the fight was very obstinate, many of them were killed; and the rest were carried captive: among which captives was Lot, who had come to assist the Sodomites.
How Abram fought with the Assyrians, and overcame them, and saved the Sodomite prisoners, and took from the Assyrians the prey they had gotten.
1. [About An. 1955] When Abram heard of their calamity, he was at once afraid for Lot, his kinsman; and pitied the Sodomites, his friends and neighbours; and thinking it proper to afford them assistance, he did not delay it, but marched hastily; and the fifth night fell upon the Assyrians, near Dan; for that is the name of the other spring of Jordan: and before they could arm themselves he slew some as they were in their beds, before they could suspect any harm; and others, who were not yet gone to sleep, but were so drunk they could not fight, ran away. Abram pursued after them till, on the second day, he drove them in a body unto Hoba, a place belonging to Damascus: and thereby demonstrated that victory does not depend on multitude, and the number of hands; but the alacrity and courage of soldiers overcome the most numerous bodies of men: while he got the victory over so great an army with no more than three hundred and eighteen of his servants, and three of his friends. But all those that fled returned home ingloriously.
2. So Abram, when he had saved the captive Sodomites, who had been taken by the Assyrians, and Lot also, his kinsman, returned home in peace. Now the King of Sodom met him at a certain place, which they called The King’s dale, where Melchisedeck, King of the city Salem, received him. That name signifies, The righteous King: and such he was without dispute; insomuch that, on this account, he was made the Priest of God. However, they afterward called Salem Jerusalem. Now this Melchisedec supplied Abram’s army in an hospitable manner, and gave them provisions in abundance: and as they were feasting, he began to praise him, and to bless God for subduing his enemies under him. And when Abram gave him the tenth part of his prey, he accepted of the gift. But the King of Sodom desired Abram to take the prey; but intreated that he might have those men restored to him whom Abram had saved from the Assyrians, because they belonged to him. But Abram would not do so; nor would make any other advantage of that prey, than what his servants had eaten: but still insisted that he should afford a part to his friends that had assisted him in the battel. The first of them was called Eschol, and then Enner, and Mambre.
3. And God commended his virtue, and said, Thou shalt not however lose the rewards thou hast deserved to receive by such thy glorious actions. He answered, And what advantage will it be to me to have such rewards, when I have none to enjoy them after me? for he was hitherto childless. And God promised, that he should have a son, and that his posterity should be very numerous; insomuch, that their number should be like the stars. When he heard that, he offered a sacrifice to God, as he commanded him. The manner of the sacrifice was this: He took an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram in like manner of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a pigeon: and, as he was enjoined, he divided the three former, but the birds he did not divide. After which, before he built his altar, where the birds of prey flew about as desirous of blood, a divine voice came to him, declaring that their neighbours would be grievous to his posterity, when they should be in Egypt, for four hundred years: during which time they should be afflicted: but afterwards should overcome their enemies, should conquer the Canaanites in war, and possess themselves of their land, and of their cities.
4. Now Abram dwelt near the oak called Ogyges: the place belongs to Canaan, not far from the city of Hebron. But being uneasy at his wife’s barrenness, he intreated God to grant that he might have male issue: and God required of him to be of good courage, and said, that he would add to all the rest of the benefits that he had bestowed upon him, ever since he led him out of Mesopotamia, the gift of children. [About An. 1950] Accordingly Sarai, at God’s command, brought to his bed one of her hand-maidens, a woman of Egyptian descent, in order to obtain children by her: and when this handmaid was with child, she triumphed, and ventured to affront Sarai; as if the dominion were to come to a son to be born of her. But when Abram resigned her into the hands of Sarai, to punish her, she contrived to fly away; as not able to bear the instances of Sarai’s severity to her; and she intreated God to have compassion on her. Now a divine Angel met her, as she was going forward in the wilderness; and bid her return to her master and mistress; for if she would submit to that wise advice, she should live better hereafter: for that the reason of her being in such a miserable case was this, that she had been ungrateful and arrogant towards her mistress. He also told her, that if she disobeyed God, and went on still in her way, she should perish; but if she would return back, she should become the mother of a son, who should reign over that country. These admonitions she obeyed, and returned to her master and mistress, and obtained forgiveness. A little while afterwards, she bare Ismael; which may be interpreted Heard of God: because God had heard his mother’s prayer.
5. The forementioned son was born to Abram when he was eighty six years old. But when he was ninety nine, God appeared to him, and promised him, that he should have a son by Sarai; and commanded that his name should be Isaac: and shewed him that from this son should spring great nations and Kings; and that they should obtain all the land of Canaan by war, from Sidon to Egypt. But he charged him, in order to keep his posterity unmixt with others, that they should be circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin; and that this should be done on the eighth day after they were born. The reason of which circumcision I will explain in another place. And Abram enquiring also concerning Ismael, whether he should live or not; God signified to him, that he should live to be very old, and should be the father of great nations. Abram therefore gave thanks to God for these blessings; and then he, and all his family, and his son Ismael were circumcised immediately; the son being that day thirteen years of age, and he ninety nine. [An. 1938]
Chapter 11.
How God overthrew the nation of the Sodomites, out of his wrath against them for their sins.
1.About this time the Sodomites grew proud, on account of their riches and great wealth: they became unjust towards men, and impious towards God: insomuch that they did not call to mind the advantages they received from him: they hated strangers, and abused themselves with Sodomitical practices. God was therefore much displeased at them; and determined to punish them for their pride, and to overthrow their city, and to lay waste their country, till there should neither plant nor fruit grow out of it.
2. When God had thus resolved concerning the Sodomites, Abraham, as he sat by the Oak of Mambre, at the door of his tent, saw three Angels; and thinking them to be strangers, he rose up, and saluted them, and desired they would accept of an entertainment, and abide with him: to which, when they agreed, he ordered cakes of meal to be made presently: and when he had slain a calf, he roasted it, and brought it to them, as they sat under the oak. Now they made a shew of eating; and besides they asked him about his wife Sarah, where she was? and when he said, she was within, they said they should come again hereafter, and find her become a mother. Upon which the woman laughed, and said that it was impossible she should bear children: since she was ninety years of age, and her husband was an hundred. Then they concealed themselves no longer; but declared that they were Angels of God; and that one of them was sent to inform them about the child; and two for the overthrow of Sodom.
3. When Abraham heard this, he was grieved for the Sodomites; and he rose up, and besought God for them, and intreated him that he would not destroy the righteous with the wicked. And when God had replied, that there was no good man among the Sodomites: for if there were but ten such man among them, he would not punish any of them for their sins, Abraham held his peace. [About An. 1940] And the Angels came to the city of the Sodomites, and Lot intreated them to accept of a lodging with him: for he was a very generous and hospitable man; and one that had learned to imitate the goodness of Abraham. Now when the Sodomites saw the young men to be of beautiful countenances, and this to an extraordinary degree, and that they took up their lodgings with Lot, they resolved themselves to enjoy these beautiful boys by force and violence: and when Lot exhorted them to sobriety, and not to offer any thing immodest to the strangers, but to have regard to their lodging in his house; and promised, that if their inclinations could not be governed, he would expose his daughters to their lust, instead of these strangers: neither thus were they made ashamed.
4. But God was much displeased at their impudent behaviour: so that he both smote those men with blindness, and condemned the Sodomites to universal destruction. But Lot, upon God’s informing him of the future destruction of the Sodomites, went away; taking with him his wife, and daughters; who were two, and still virgins: for those that were betrothed to them were above the thoughts of going; and deemed that Lot’s words were trifling. God then cast a thunderbolt upon the city, and set it on fire, with its inhabitants; and laid waste the country with the like burning: as I formerly said when I wrote the Jewish War. But Lot’s wife continually turning back to view the city, as she went from it; and being too nicely inquisitive what would become of it, although God had forbidden her so to do; was changed into a pillar of salt. For I have seen it, and it remains at this day. Now he and his daughters fled to a certain small place, encompassed with the fire, and settled in it. It is to this day called Zoar; for that is the word which the Hebrews use for a small thing. There it was that he lived a miserable life, on account of his having no company, and his want of provisions.
5. But his daughters thinking that all mankind were destroyed, approached to their father: though taking care not to be perceived. This they did, that human kind might not utterly fail. And they bare sons: the son of the elder was named Moab: which denotes one derived from his father. The younger bare Ammon: which name denotes one derived from a kinsman. The former of whom was the father of the Moabites; which is even still a great nation. The latter was the father of the Ammonites: and both of them are inhabitants of Cele-Syria. And such was the departure of Lot from among the Sodomites.

The candlestick chart (tradingview.com) below will give you a sense of sanity as you hold your stock for short-term periods. Genius Group (GNS) just had a price drop, but I’m planning to hold it for a 1-month period at least (Eccl. 11:1; Luke 19:12). The green vertical lines indicate that the stock is growing again. This can help you decide with more precision about whether to hold a stock or sell a stock.
Solomon says, “After many days you may receive a return” (Eccl. 11:1). So day trading is out of the question. WAIT FOR IT! Patience is a virtue: wait it out for a month. Don’t obsess over the movement of the stock’s price or your emotions will drive you literally crazy. Force yourself to NOT watch the stock for a full 30 days straight, after you settle on the purchase, of your heavily analyzed stock selection. You don’t want to be obsessively, hyperactively responsible with this stuff. Let the money go to work! It takes time for businesses to make use of money in a productive way. At the 30-day mark, then you can make a decision about whether to hold, sell, or buy more shares of the same stock. Charles Schwab said, “Don’t keep a daily record of your portfolio. Look through it carefully on a monthly basis instead. This will help you avoid spur-of-the moment decisions” (How to Be Your Own Stockbroker, p. 93). It seems that using Finviz to screen stocks for weekly performance is a good starting point; and then to check the stock ticker’s performance on a Google chart for 1D, 5D, and 1M. But after you’ve made up your mind, and you’ve bought the stock, then just leave it alone for a month, and hold it for at least this long: don’t keep going back to schwab.com every other day. Maybe this would be good to do when you first buy a stock, just to reassure yourself that the stock is working the way you thought it would. But after that, write a note to yourself that you will not open up your schwab.com account for 30 days straight. This is going to have to take a lot of self-control. Just stay busy, go to work, be patient, and then later see how it turns out. Hopping on the gravy train is not based on skipping around from one stock to another one every other day. A lot of this has to do with self-control and patience: “after many days you may receive a return” (Eccl. 11:1). Tell yourself this: that the risk you’ve taken on this stock just might, in fact, very probably result in a handsome reward of returns for you: but only after waiting for many days…so BE PATIENT! Monitoring the stock every other day won’t help you to grow your money any faster. SO JUST WAIT FOR IT!
UPDATE: 1/25/23
MICROCAP STOCKS: THE KEY TO DRAMATIC CAPITAL GAINS
The above is the most powerful finviz.com screen that I’ve developed for high growth short-term trading stocks. Not all of them are home runs, but the hit rate is very impressive.
The Finviz Screen: All tab –> Market Cap: Micro (under $300m) –> Performance: Month +50% –> Performance 2: Week +30% –> Volatility: Month – Over 15%.
THE HOME RUN HITTERS: What I found refreshing is that this screen only populated a total of 20 stocks to analyze. Whenever I screen on Finviz for a list of stocks like this, I will then plug them all into Google and look at the performance projections on the Google stock charts for 1D, 5D, and 1M (especially this last one). Out of just 20 stocks to review, the best ones, in terms of 1-month ROI percentages were the following (this is REALLY impressive):
1. GNS – 1,142%
2. INBS – 439%
3. CUEN – 302%
4. DMTK – 269%
5. APPH – 255%
UPDATE: 1/26/23 – Unfortunately I only got around to buying some shares of Genius Group (GNS) right at the end of its rally (initial growth phase). I got only 1 day of growth out of it. Which I’ll admit was very exciting to watch. But the next day the rally was over and I had to sell the shares or I would have lost my principal deposit. The lesson that I’ve learned seems to be this:
Probably the smartest way to make money by trading microcap growth stocks is to screen Finviz for high-weekly performance stocks every single day. Keep your money as “cash” in your brokerage account and just wait for the next stock rally. You’ll know it when it arrives like a train coming through town: the Change column will say 200% or something and the Google chart will have a constant upward slant (no interruptions, no jagged movements). That’s a stock rally. The key to financial growth through stocks is to wait for the next weekly stock rally, and then when it arrives, ride it boy! Ride it like a bucking bronco! But don’t pretend that you’re going to ride it after it has stopped moving. If you do that, then you’ll lose your money most likely. Put it into “cash” and wait for the next rally; and check your preset Finviz screen every single day.
UPDATE: 1/29/23 – In the Encyclopedia of Investments (p. 168), it says that IPOs have their most dramatic growth spurts, in the first two years of being in business. Here’s a Finviz screen aimed at just that: 2-year nanocap stocks. Since they’re cheap: I say buy ’em all. Purchase 1 share for all 163 of ’em…and watch to see if one blows up. Unless of course, Google indicates its an LGBT-crazy business. Then I wouldn’t recommend making ill-gotten gains from such a company.
UPDATE: 1/30/23 – I made a boo-boo. I bought and sold, bought and sold, bought and sold, bought and sold a whole bunch of different IPO stocks all in the same day. The reason for this mistake was that Finviz and Google said one thing about the positive upward change of the stock prices, but then when I’d go to buy a stock, the volatility was so different, that my stock value plummeted right after purchasing it. My second mistake was that I tried to trade large amounts of money while doing this, but you’re never going to hit a home run doing it this way, because Finviz and Google are giving you stock price information from the past. What you need is a real-time reading on the stock price. The only way to do this is to have bought 1 share of the IPO stock already in schwab.com and watch it throughout the day. Its kind of like hunting squirrels in the woods. You have to wait, you have to watch for squirrel movements in the trees: then when you’ve spotted the new squirrel, take your best shot. Schwab’s Margin Services Department said that I accidentally ran into using their “good faith” money, because it takes about 5 days for a stock sale to settle in your “Settled Funds” account. They also gave me a 90-day stock trading suspension to teach me the lesson. I accepted the punishment, because I’ll be the wiser for it after its over with. I spoke to one of their reps recently, and said, “Its weird but, I’m reading One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch right now. The day after I received the Margin Services message, I read in the next chapter about frantic traders buying and selling, buying and selling, buying and selling stocks all in the same day: and how that’s a bad thing (p. 60).” Then I told him, “After this is over, and I don’t know if you’ve heard of other people doing this: what I’m thinking of doing is buying a mess of IPOs, like 100 IPOs (1 share), and just waiting for one of them to blow up to like 200%. Then I’ll put a bunch of money into that.” The rep’s response with a positive excited tone: “YEAH!…YEAH!” So I think I’m going in the right direction now. He even offered to ask his team if he could lift the suspension for me. But I said, “No, no special requests. I’ll be the wiser after its over with. But thanks though.”
UPDATE: 1/31/23 – Although I’ve come to the conclusion that nanocap stocks (under $50m) and microcap stocks (under $300m) are usually the stocks that will occasionally blow up into dramatic price rallies, and have the ability to make poor men into millionaires, and go from rags to riches, Amy Domini has persuaded me that you shouldn’t get too stuck on a very low price being the key to good stock screening (Ethical Investing, pp. 84-85). Yes, these growth stocks generally tend to be new, fast-growing startup companies within the first 2 years since their IPO date. That’s a good guideline to understand. Yes, most of these stocks are considered “penny stocks” in the $1 to $2 range. But every once in a while they can be in the $12 or even the $20 range. Here’s an example of that. Here’s a simple Finviz screen I did today. All I did was go over to the “Change” column and click on it twice. The top gainer at the moment was the Motorsport Games (MSGM) stock. Let’s analyze what’s going on here: 1. Its a nanocap stock on Finviz ($23 million), but according to Google its a microcap stock ($168 million). 2. At the start of the day its price was $17.27, and by midday it soared up to $19.75, which resulted in a 650% price change in just one day. That means it earned six times its money in only one day of holding! Its what Peter Lynch would call a “fast grower” and in this case a sixbagger (One Up on Wall Street, pp. 108-109). 3. It happens to be in the electronic gaming industry, but that’s not important. Hunting down tenbaggers is not an industry-specific activity, although you’ll find that biotechnology is a frequent tenbagger stock category, but not always. 4. Its IPO date was on January 15, 2021 (the past 2 years).
If you want to experience financial growth by trading growth stocks, these four aspects should serve as useful guidelines. You want to be there when it happens, so I’d say at this point, try to buy 1 share of as many stocks like this as you possibly can, and watch your schwab.com brokerage account every day to see if the next 600% or even 1,000% stock blows up. If one of yours does, then that’s your cue to put several hundred or several thousand dollars into it; and then sell it once the Google chart levels off or starts to turn down again.

DOUBLE-OR-NOTHIN’ STOCKS
I found this to be a really great screening method for double-or-nothin’ stocks. Its pretty quick and to the point:
UPDATE: 1/19/23
Another testimony for this new screening method:
Cuentas (CUEN) is incredible! As I was making this screenshot, I actually witnessed its 5-day ROI bump up from 175% to 283% right in front of my eyes, in just one second! AMAZING!
InvestorsObserver predicts that Genius Group (GNS) will ANNIHILATE all other swing trades. However, news articles on Google indicate GNS only went up because of insider trading and stock price manipulation. There’s an ongoing FBI investigation right now. Better to focus on Cuentas (CUEN).
Here’s a 6-month and 1-month screen for swing traders who are slightly more conservative than day traders and 5-day traders. You would need to enter all tickers into Google and look at their 1M and 6M.
1-MONTH SWING TRADING: PROBABLY THE MOST BIBLICAL WAY TO TRADE STOCKS
There’s all kinds of screens for all kinds of speeds with stock trading, but I’m persuaded that the Biblical model for stock trading is probably closer to the 1-month model. While Solomon says, “After many days you may receive a return” (Eccl. 11:1), Jesus says “a man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return” (Luke 19:12). Many days definitely excludes day trading on a 1-day basis; and I would be hard pressed to say that 5-day trading would qualify as “many days.” 1-year is out of the picture as well. Otherwise, Solomon would have said, “After many years.” What we today would call short-term trading and swing trading on a 1-month basis is probably closest to the view that Solomon, the first century Jews, and Jesus had about the usual time length for trading stocks. Based on my most recent Finviz screen for this range combined with TipRanks stock performance comparisons, it looks like BWEN and NVCN would be first and second place for this sort of thing:
BWEN IS IN A “RALLY” – THATS WHAT TO LOOK FOR ON CHARTS AND NEWS ARTICLES WHEN SELECTING GROWTH STOCKS:
Here’s a cool way to screen for stocks by just using Google news articles: “stock rally 200%” sorted by date.
…but at the end of the day, nothing beats diligent, determined screening of 100 stocks from a monthly performance screen from Finviz. Plugging them into the Google stock charts. And then finally comparing them on the TipRanks stock comparison performance chart. Still you can see that BWEN and NVCN are the winners in this case.
STAY AWAY FROM THE AAII.COM SCREENER. Not only do they hoodwink you into a $2.00 membership and in the fine print charge you a $200 annual fee, their growth and momentum screens are worthless. Stick with Finviz:
I GENERALLY ADVISE AGAINST DAY TRADING. BUT IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU REALLY WANT TO TRY IT, BECAUSE YOU ARE IN AN EMERGENCY AND YOU NEED EXTRA MONEY QUICK…
GENIUS GROUP (GNS) HAS A CLEAN ANNUAL REPORT – NO LGBT OR PLANNED PARENTHOOD STUFF. YAHOO SAYS GNS IS UNDERVALUED, WHICH IS GOOD. AND THEY ARE GOING THROUGH A CRISIS AS A COMPNAY BECAUSE OF STOCK PRICE MANIPULATION FROM INSIDER TRADING. THEY ARE TRYING TO CORRECT THAT NOW. ALL OF THESE ARE VERY GOOD SIGNS FOR VALUE INVESTORS (AND GROWTH INVESTORS).

I personally believe that Broadwind (BWEN) might actually be the best growth stock. I’ll know by the end of this week probably after I make my deposit. According to the past 5 days, it has soared above my other stock picks (including Madrigal), because it is still in the initial phase of growth. BWEN doubles your money every 5 days from the looks of it.
Look at how BWEN jumps leaps and bounds over the S&P 500 Index:
After completing ch. 10 from Charles Schwab’s How to Be Your Own Stockbroker, and after seeing him basically admit that he hadn’t figured out how to make a fortune with growth stocks (although he believed they were still the best way if any), and although he rejects all bonds which I agree with, he still settles like so many others, on just buying some mutual funds. This made me look up an article on “growth investing,” which is the collection of strategies for screening and investing in growth stocks. Cornelius Bond’s T. Rowe Price, Philip Fisher’s Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits (1958), and Peter Lynch’s One Up On Wall Street, all surfaced as authoritative teachings on investing in growth stocks. But the one by Fisher really jumped out at me the most. Warren Buffett is just as much influenced by Fisher as by Benjamin Graham. –1/15/23
