About
The Beat The Market Analyzer blog is all about making stock investing simple without all the BS, hype, and overload of information.
I am the creator of the BTMA Stock Analyzer, one of the most popular value investing stock analyzers. I like to keep my life as simple and effective as possible and that’s what I kept in mind while building my stock analyzer.
My name is Grant Gigliotti and I’m from around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Here is a picture of my family.
My family loves to travel, and stock investing has allowed us to travel full-time for the past several years while exploring USA in our RV. We’ve also taken long adventures around Europe and Asia, while using stock investing money to pay for our trips.
I get excited to wake up to see that I’m making passive income from stocks while I sleep, travel, and play with my son.
In addition, my stock analyzer saves me time, so I don’t have to spend days or weeks searching for the next stock to buy. I simply click a button in my Analyzer to find a handful of prospective stocks to buy in seconds. The Analyzer has been a game-changer and it’s what has allowed me all the free time to enjoy with my family.
When I first started learning about stock investing, I was really confused and I wasn’t sure where to start. Luckily, I found, in my opinion, 3 of the best books about stock investing. They are:
1. The Warren Buffett Way
2. The Buffettology Series
3. The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham
I must have read and listened to the audiobooks of these gems over 20 times! The thing I liked about them was that they used a common sense approach to make stock investing easy to understand and practical.
Best of all, I realized that I could apply these techniques because they were based on factual data. This was very different than all of the other hyped-up BS that I read about in money magazines and saw on TV.
I began to apply these techniques from scratch. At first, I was doing everything manually. As time went by, I found that I was making really good investment decisions and solid returns by just replicating the logical strategies that Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham used to analyze stocks.
I spent almost everyday for 8 months working on a spreadsheet to analyze the stocks so that I no longer had to do it manually. The spreadsheet worked very well and it was consistent. I found that I was able to Beat the Market or beat the S&P 500 over 85% of the time. I was excited, my friends were excited when they heard about it (or at least they acted like they were) and my wife was just happy that I wasn’t spending so much time manually analyzing stocks anymore….that way, I was free to do more productive things like wash the dishes and take out the trash.
🙂
Fast forward, more than a decade later…
My stock analyzer has helped many thousands of people earn more money and save loads of time, so they can spend their new free time doing the things they love!
I am very pleased with the results of the analyzer and the realization that stock investing doesn’t have to be complicated.
In the section below, we will look at some results….
Time-Weighted Returns, Period: 2013 – Present
This is the time-weighted return result of a real account using the BTMA stock-picking method over the course of multiple years. (Note: My returns are in blue and the S&P 500 returns are in orange. You can click the chart to enlarge it).
Absolute Return (from January 2013 till January 2024)
   BTMA       S&P 500
 678.1%       226.2%
Returns Per Year
Below are my returns (BTMA) versus the S&P 500 returns over the past 10 years.
For investors who are struggling, I’d like to stress that it’s very difficult to beat the S&P 500 over the long run and even harder to beat it every year consistently. You’ll notice from the chart above that I lost to the S&P 500 a few times over the past 10 years. But I’m content with the overall results and I know that many of my BTMA customers are also satisfied with their gains.
If we use common sense and practical strategies of successful investors like Buffett and Graham, we can consistently beat the stock market and definitely do better than our money managers who charge expensive fees and consistently fail to beat the market over 70% of the time.
I’m sharing my stock analyzer and experiences with you. Therefore, if you want to get into stock investing, but find it complicated or don’t know where to start, then I truly believe that this site will be genuinely helpful for you.
