Discover BuyTrigger: a systematic investing method that removes emotions from stock purchases. Learn when to buy with clear price targets and valuation triggers.
BuyTrigger is a systematic approach that tells you when a stock is worth buying. Think of it like setting a price target when buying a house - you do your homework upfront, set your target price, and execute without emotions when the opportunity arrives. This removes guesswork and feelings from your investment decisions.
The Two Main Signals You Need to Know
BuyTrigger (BT): Your "Green Light" to Buy
BuyTrigger is like a traffic light for stocks. When the stock price is below the BuyTrigger level, you get a green light - it's a good time to consider buying.
How it works:
Green Light (Below BT): Stock is at a good entry price - consider buying
Red Light (Way Above BT): You'd be overpaying - wait for a better price
Yellow Light (Way Below BT): The company is still good, but something spooked investors - this could be your best opportunity
Valuation Trigger (VT): Is This Stock Fairly Priced?
The Valuation Trigger tells you if a stock is expensive or cheap compared to what it's actually worth. We use professional financial data to calculate this fair price.
Simple Rules:
Below VT: The stock is on sale (undervalued)
Above VT: Investors are betting on future growth that may be years away
When Should You Buy? The Four Systematic Scenarios
Scenario 1: Both Below Your Targets (Below Both BT and VT)
House Analogy: You find a $1M house that's actually worth $1M, but the seller will take your $850K offer What it means: The stock is both at your target price AND undervalued
What to do: This is your best systematic opportunity - execute your purchase plan Why it happens: Good companies sometimes get unfairly punished by market emotions
Scenario 2: Below Fair Value Only (Below VT only)
House Analogy: The $1M house is worth $1M, but it's selling for $900K (good deal, but above your $850K target)What it means: The stock is undervalued but hasn't reached your ideal target price What to do: You can systematically buy more over time (dollar-cost averaging) Strategy: Still a good long-term purchase since you're paying less than fair value
Scenario 3: At Your Target Only (Below BT only)
House Analogy: A house hits your $850K target price, but it might actually be worth $850K (not a discount) What it means: Rare situation - usually a growing company at your target What to do: Consider buying if you want to capture future growth systematically Note: You're not getting a discount, but you're not overpaying either
Scenario 4: Above Both Targets (Above Both BT and VT)
House Analogy: The seller wants $1.3M for a house worth $1M, and your target was $850K What it means: The stock is overpriced by every measure What to do: Systematic approach says wait! There are thousands of other opportunities Why avoid: You'd be overpaying and destroying your systematic advantage

Important Things to Remember
Be Patient
After you buy at a BuyTrigger level, it usually takes 3-12 months to see the stock price go up
Don't expect instant results - good investing takes time
Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
Spread your money across different types of stocks
Keep risky stocks to small portions of your total money
Buy gradually over time instead of all at once
Stay Disciplined
Don't let emotions drive your decisions
Follow the signals even when it feels uncomfortable
Remember: if everyone else is scared, that's often when the best opportunities appear
