CoolcatReport.com publisher, Kevin Kennedy—a veteran of more than 20 years in newspaper journalism and the former mayor of his hometown—was used to trying to find answers to vexing questions when he began working to solve one of the biggest mysteries of all in the mid-1990s: what makes stocks go up in price? Early on in his quest, Mr. Kennedy was introduced to the ideas of William O’Neil, the publisher of Investor’s Business Daily and author of “How to Make Money in Stocks,” in which he details his CANSLIM approach to investing. As a numbers junkie, Mr. Kennedy found the statistics in IBD fascinating and set out to work on developing statistical ideas that could produce winners. Kennedy found the CANSLIM approach wanting in some respects, but relied heavily on its basic tenets of investing during strong market conditions and using research to isolate the characteristics found in winning stocks. Kevin Kennedy is also a publisher of The Coolcat ETF Report, The Coolcat Total Stock Market Report, and the The Coolcat Technology Plus Report.
