This week’s Sunday Screener is inspired by the late Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s business partner, who once described a dead-simple strategy for beating the market:
If all you ever did was buy high-quality stocks on the 200-week moving average, you would beat the S&P 500 by a large margin over time. The problem is, few human beings have that kind of discipline.
As of the close on Thursday, October 8, the Munger screen produced the following 19 stocks:

Highs And Lows
Each week, we also monitor any stocks in the market making 52-week highs. We do this because any stock on its way to generating 2x, 3x, or 10x returns will spend a lot of time making new 52-week highs along the way. Thus, the 52-week-high list provides an opportunity to flag these potential high performers before they really break out, with a particular emphasis on lower-profile, less widely-followed stocks that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Notable stocks making a 52-week high this week:
- Apple (AAPL)
- Visa (V)
- Palantir Technologies (PLTR)
- AbbVie (ABBV)
- Dell Technologies (DELL)
- Arista Networks (ANET)
- Fortinet (FTNT)
- Marathon Petroleum (MPC)

There’s a Reason Sophisticated Investors Keep Turning to Gold
Governments can issue more currency. Central banks can create more liquidity. But NO ONE can manufacture an unlimited supply of gold.
That simple distinction is one reason investors have turned to precious metals for generations, especially when they want diversification beyond conventional financial assets.
Battle Bank gives you more than one way to own gold and silver. Choose allocated metals if you want specific coins or bars with secure storage and delivery options. Or go unallocated for a cost-effective way to hold precious metals without monthly account or storage fees.

Editor’s Note: Keep in mind, we only accept advertising from publishers we know to offer well-researched ideas vetted by a legal team, excellent customer service, and reasonable refund policies. Battle Bank is one such partner. We do not, however, under any circumstances make any representations about their investment ideas or strategies, nor will we warrant them as equal to our own. We do recognize that the markets are tempestuous and, at times, ideas that we may not endorse prove valuable. Precious metals are not FDIC insured, are not bank guaranteed, and are subject to market risk, including possible loss of principal.
We also monitor stocks on the 52-week-low list. In many cases, the names on this list are there for good reason – the market is often correctly pricing in weak fundamentals. However, once in a while, a great business with excellent long-term prospects finds itself on this list due to a temporary setback. This can create the rare opportunity to buy top-shelf merchandise at bargain-basement prices.
Notable stocks making a 52-week low last week:
- PepsiCo (PEP)
- McDonald’s (MCD)
- Sanofi (SNY)
- Duke Energy (DUK)
- Comcast (CMCSA)
- O’Reilly Automotive (ORLY)
- Northrop Grumman (NOC)
- Boston Scientific (BSX)
