The most accurate play in each family

Each family's play whose calls went the right way most often, tested on 351 stocks since 2005, and what it says about SNDK now.

A call is right when the stock rose after an in call or fell after an out call. Trend plays are built to take many small losses for a few big wins, so their hit rates run lower; being right often isn't the same as making the most money. How we test a play.

If the market cracks: the storm test

How the storm test works
ExposureLow2 of 10 points
  • Market swings2/3
  • Past crashes0/2
  • Debt0/3
  • Run-up0/2
  • It moves about 2.5× its index.

Past crashes, peak to low

Too young to have lived through a market crash, so there is no crash record to read.

  • Beta2.54Moves about 2.5× as much as the S&P 500 week to week.
  • Downside capture111%In months the S&P 500 fell, this fell 111% as much on average.
  • From 52-week high−37%
  • Debt to equity0.01×
  • Net debt / EBITDANet cashHolds more cash than debt.
  • Interest cover179.3×

A crash marks every stock down; debt decides which companies come through. The storm test scores both halves: how hard the stock swings with the market, and how much debt it carries into a downturn. It describes fragility; it does not predict a crash.
