SageRanks
A free website that ranked stocks through the eyes of five legendary investors. It closed in September 2026.
What Graham would have refused to touch.
Most people who buy individual shares have heard of Graham, Buffett and Lynch. Far fewer have time to check which companies would actually pass the tests those investors described. SageRanks did that check for every company in an index, every day.
Each investor's method became a lens: a set of hard limits and weights taken from how they explained their own approach. Point the five at the same company and they rarely agree, so you could switch lens and watch the order change as the question changed. Every weight and threshold was published, and it never told anyone to buy or sell.
Five lenses, one universe.
Each mode was named after a real investor and weighted with the metrics they actually used. Same stocks, five very different rankings.
“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
“It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.”
“In this business, if you're good, you're right six times out of ten. You're never going to be right nine times out of ten.”
“The stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.”
“If you just stick to buying good companies at cheap prices and don't try to predict the next move, you'll do better than most people.”
The data cost more than a hobby could carry.
A ranking site is only as good as its share prices and financial statements, and it needs the right to publish them. That right is sold under commercial licences, priced for companies rather than for one person running a free site.
Covering the licences would have meant charging users or selling advertising at a scale a side project does not reach, and charging would have gone against the reason SageRanks existed. So it closed. sageranks.com now carries a short farewell.
