Who Is ValueMarkers For? (And Who It's Not For)
Not every tool is right for every investor. We would rather lose a potential customer than have someone sign up and feel disappointed. Here is who gets the most value from ValueMarkers, and who should look elsewhere.
ValueMarkers Is Built For
Value Investors
If you follow the principles of Graham, Buffett, Munger, or Greenblatt, ValueMarkers was built for you. The VM Score synthesizes the same value, quality, and safety indicators these investors use, across 100,000+ stocks. You get margin of safety calculations, intrinsic value estimates, and the ability to screen for undervalued companies systematically.
Fundamental Analysts
Whether you work at a fund, an RIA, or analyze stocks independently, you need deep financial data. ValueMarkers provides 30 years of income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements with 120 pre-computed indicators. Instead of building spreadsheets from scratch, you can focus on interpretation and judgment.
DIY Long-Term Investors
If you manage your own portfolio and hold stocks for months or years, you need tools that go beyond price charts and news headlines. ValueMarkers helps you evaluate businesses on their fundamentals, compare them against peers, and monitor portfolio quality over time.
Dividend Investors
Sustainable income requires understanding payout ratios, free cash flow coverage, and dividend growth consistency. ValueMarkers tracks these metrics across 30 years of history, helping you distinguish between genuinely reliable dividend payers and companies with unsustainable yields.

ValueMarkers Is Not For
Day Traders
ValueMarkers does not offer real-time tick data, Level 2 order books, technical chart patterns, or sub-second execution tools. If your holding period is hours or minutes, a trading platform like ThinkorSwim, Interactive Brokers, or TradingView is what you need.
Momentum & Technical Traders
Our tools are entirely fundamental. We do not provide RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, or other technical indicators. If your strategy is based on price patterns and momentum, ValueMarkers will not add value to your workflow.
Crypto Traders
ValueMarkers covers equities listed on traditional stock exchanges. We do not track cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or DeFi tokens. If crypto is your focus, platforms like CoinGecko or Messari are better suited.
Passive Index Investors
If you dollar-cost average into index funds and do not pick individual stocks, ValueMarkers does not offer much beyond educational content. Index investing is a perfectly valid strategy, and we would not want you paying for tools you do not need.
Why We Are Honest About This
Most software companies try to be everything to everyone. We think that is a mistake. ValueMarkers is a specialized tool for a specific type of investor. By being clear about who we serve, we can focus on doing that one thing exceptionally well.
If you are a day trader and sign up expecting real-time charting tools, you will be disappointed and we will have wasted your time. We would rather point you to the right tool than collect a subscription fee from someone who will not get value from the product.
Our best customers are investors who understand that finding undervalued, high-quality businesses requires deep data, patience, and a systematic process. If that describes you, we think you will love what we have built.
