📄 Founder’s Note
JB
John F. Bray
Founder & Principal, QuantPlus Analytics™ LLC
“Those big firms have a knowledge advantage. Real, systematic, quantitative knowledge —
and it is priced for institutions, not individuals. Limiting that information is diametrically
opposed to my commitment to the common investor.”
Why This Was Built
I spent my career building systems for others — recovering corrupted databases in the
U.S. Air Force, developing EDI systems for Owens Corning, Nike, and Home Depot. I kept watching
major investment firms sell systematic quantitative analysis at institutional prices that left
independent advisors and active investors locked out.
Victor Kiam liked the Remington razor so much he bought the company. I needed institutional
analytics so badly I built the platform myself.
The Investment Philosophy
Start focused. New investors should deeply understand 8–10 companies rather than
diversify from ignorance. Warren Buffett concentrates two-thirds of his portfolio in
just five companies — not because he ignores risk, but because knowledge eliminates
the need for excessive diversification. We give you that knowledge.
Where this is going
I want to grow this into an institutional-grade service. That’s where the expensive
information and the serious models live.
Like I said in the founder’s note, I can’t afford that — and most small
investors can’t either. A single Bloomberg terminal runs about $32,000 a year.
Professional data feeds that let you show what you’ve built start around $2,500 a
month. That’s the wall between what a large firm sees and what you see.
As subscription revenue makes that information affordable, we buy it and work it into the
system. You will not be charged more for it. Everyone
at your usage level always sees exactly the same thing — the same thing I see.
What this first release does
It ranks stocks on their ability to keep earnings growing quarter over quarter. The model
tells the difference between a business whose revenue is seasonal and one whose revenue
follows a more normal path, because judging the first by the second’s standard is how
you get a wrong answer.
How we decide what gets built
As a member you’ll see the list of improvements on the path to that goal, and
you’ll have a say in which ones move up it. Your interest is one input. What everyone
else needs is another. What we can afford is the third. I’ll post regularly about
where this is heading — and when something moves up or down the list, I’ll tell
you why.
