Valueline is an American stock tracking service, which ranks stocks based on company specific safety/risk, and in terms of timeliness relative to other stocks covered within the survey. Valueline pioneered the equity strategy that has come to be called value investing. Adherents to this strategy feel that they can time the best investment entry and exit points by determining when a stock is undervalued or overvalued.
The valueline rating system has become so popular that it can influence the price of the stocks reported there-in. The valueline effect is the short term outperformance of stocks ranked highest in timeliness by the valueline stock survey.
The survey itself is broken into three parts; Ratings and Reports, Summary and Index, and Selection and Opinion
