FAQ
What happened to MarketSmith?›
MarketSmith was rebranded as MarketSurge in 2024. It continues to offer the same CAN SLIM-based research tools, pattern recognition, and rating system under the new name with an updated interface.
What is the CAN SLIM methodology?›
CAN SLIM is a growth stock selection system developed by William O'Neil that evaluates stocks based on Current earnings, Annual earnings, New products/management, Supply and demand, Leader or laggard, Institutional sponsorship, and Market direction.
Is MarketSurge worth $149.95/month?›
For dedicated CAN SLIM investors, MarketSurge provides unique data and tools not available elsewhere. The pattern recognition and IBD ratings are genuinely useful for growth stock selection. However, the price is hard to justify unless you actively follow the CAN SLIM approach.
