Do you have the top 25% small-cap, "undiscovered" growth stocks in your portfolio? While these rapidly-growing stocks eventually outperform 75% of other stocks, they stay hidden from most investors. Jim Oberweis uncovers these explosive stocks while they’re relatively unknown (and bargain-priced) to help you earn larger returns on your investments!

Ranked as #5 overall investment letter based on Total Return by The Hulbert Financial Digest as of 12/31/02 for its 15-year track record.

The investment focus at Oberweis is identifying and investing in rapidly growing companies -- those that are increasing revenues and earnings by at least 30%. Our investment strategy, which we call the "Oberweis Octagon", combines the best features of both growth and value investing.

The following are eight guidelines when selecting our stocks:

1. Rapid Revenue Growth: We look for rapid, consistent growth in revenues of at least 30%. Ideally, such growth should be internally generated, rather than as a result of acquisitions.

2. Rapid Earnings Growth: Sales or revenue growth must produce profit growth. We look for similar consistent rapid growth of at least 30% in pre-tax income and earnings per share.

3. Low Relative Price/Earnings Ratios: Generally, we look for companies that are selling at price/earnings ratios of less than 50% of their current growth rate on the current price and estimated earnings for the next 12 months.

4. Substantial Future Growth Potential: We focus on companies with products or services that offer the opportunity for substantial future growth.

5. Early Stages of Earnings Acceleration: We identify companies that are in the early stages of an earnings acceleration -- where the price may rise not only as a result of rapidly growing earnings, but also because of a price/earnings multiple expansion.

6. Low Price/Sales Ratios: We look at what the whole company might sell for in relation to the company's sales and compare that to its price/sales ratio.

7. Anticipate Future Problems: We carefully review a company's balance sheet, paying particular attention to footnotes, in an attempt to identify unusual items that may indicate future problems.

8. Believe the Tape!: We don't try to "fight City Hall." We typically buy companies with stocks that have outperformed at least 75% of other stocks in the market over the preceding 12 months.
