The Rules of EarlyRise

How we pick companies, why these cheap stocks are risky, and who is behind this project.

Our 5 Simple Rules

Price

The price must be under $10. We only look at stocks you can get started with using pocket change.

Exchange

They must be on safe, major exchanges. We completely ban shady "over-the-counter" penny stocks or pink sheets. Everything is on the NYSE or NASDAQ.

Savings

They must have 1.5+ years of cash in the bank. The company must have enough savings to run its business so they don't suddenly go broke.

Trust

They must be trusted by big investors. We track public filings to ensure professional institutions and funds are buying alongside us.

Revenue

They must have active, paying customers. We completely ignore hype, concepts, or ideas. The company must be selling real products or services today.

Simple to Read, High Risk to Own

We design our stock list to be incredibly simple for everyday people to read and understand. However, please do not confuse simple reading with safe investing. Stocks that trade under $10 are inherently volatile. We simply give you clean, verified data so you aren't guessing blindly in the dark.

About This Project

EarlyRise is currently a private, personal pilot project running for 6 months to test this exact data model. There is no corporate backing, no hidden wall street funding, and no fine print—just transparent, independent research.
