How we will edit your dissertation or thesis

Our experienced editors are available 24/7/365 to rigorously review and comprehensively improve your writing.

Microsoft Word’s Track Changes We use Word’s Track Changes feature to highlight our amendments. We have alternative options for other formats, including PDF and Overleaf/LaTeX .

Improved style and appropriate register

We’ll improve your style and diction to ensure that your dissertation or thesis has a confident academic tone and an appropriate register.

I’ve changed “needn’t occur” to “is unnecessary” to enhance the formality of the text. In general, contractions (needn’t, can’t, won’t, etc.) should be avoided in academic writing. Dr Smith, PhD

Perfect clarity and structure

We’ll correct or query awkward phrasing and ambiguity to ensure that your writing is clearly expressed and easy to understand.

I would recommend being more specific here; do the physiological properties of FES systems create a challenging control problem or do they have to solve or address a challenging control problem? Dr Smith, PhD

Grammar, punctuation and readability

We fix errors related to grammar, punctuation and readability.

When a theory or model is named after two or more entities, the nouns are conventionally joined using an en dash. The same rule applies whenever the elements of a compound are considered equivalent, so the phrases “parent–child relationship”, “cost–benefit analysis”, etc., use an en dash rather than a hyphen. Dr Smith, PhD

General feedback and advice

We provide feedback and advice on the composition of the writing, both within the document and in the Editor’s Summary Report (for documents over 3,000 words).

To make sure an abbreviation is consistently applied throughout the document, a useful tip is to search for the term using Control F (Command F on a Mac). Dr Smith, PhD

Humanizing AI-written text

We enhance the readability of your text by focusing on the subtle cues that make your writing feel genuinely human.

LLMs are often wordy and overly formal. I’ve toned down both of those elements to help this email sound more natural. Dr Smith, PhD

Get the support of highly experienced academic editors

We’ll ensure that your dissertation or thesis is submitted in the best possible condition by assigning it to an academic editor with expertise in your field.

Each year, our editors review more than 6,000 dissertations and theses from a range of subject areas for students and PhD candidates from all over the world. Our clients’ feedback is overwhelmingly positive, and we work hard on each order to keep it this way.

Don’t lose precious marks for weaknesses in your English and academic style

At most universities, up to 20% of your grade depends on the quality of your writing.

Our editors will ensure that you don’t lose precious marks due to weaknesses in your writing ability. We’ll improve academic tone, register, flow and structure to help ensure that your writing is well received by the grading professor.

Are you an ESL student or academic?

Writing in a second language is challenging, and doing so to an academic standard is even more difficult. Even educated native speakers sometimes have trouble with the many obscure stylistic conventions that characterise academic writing.

As current and former academics, our editors know exactly what grading professors do—and don’t—want to see in a dissertation or thesis.

Hire the experts to help

Nothing influences your final degree classification more than the mark you receive for your dissertation or thesis.

If you choose to hire us to review and improve your dissertation or thesis, you are making an investment in your education and the result of your degree or doctorate. Our previous clients will attest to this.

Subject-matter expertise

That’s why we have a robust team of over 300 editors who come from diverse academic backgrounds. From the sciences and engineering to the humanities and social sciences, our editors cover the full spectrum of academic disciplines.

• Chen Xi "Will use Wordvice again" Wordvice saved my master's thesis! I was stressed out because I thought I couldn't get everything done before my deadline, but my editor was so fast and their comments guided me really well through the last phase of polishing my writing. It sounds much more academic now, and I learned a lot from the feedback my editor gave me. I will definitely use Wordvice again for my dissertation!
• Ronald Yates "Best dissertation editor EVER!" I submitted my dissertation to Wordvice before handing it in, and my editor Carla G. did such an amazing job - it was much more helpful than I had expected! She was very thorough and left many detailed suggestions in the manuscript that helped me immensely with organizing and strengthening my arguments.

Free online proofreading and essay editor

A reliable proofreading tool and essay editor for any writer or student, a complete environment.

Typely is more than just a proofreading tool. It's a complete writing environment.

Thousands of checks

More than a thousand checks are being performed and we've only scratched the surface.

Inspired by the greatest writers

Gain access to humanity’s collective understanding about the craft of writing.

A proofreading tool that does not bark at every tree

Typely is precise. Existing tools for proofreading raise so many false alarms that their advice cannot be trusted. Instead, the writer must carefully consider whether to accept or reject each change.

We aim for a tool so precise that it becomes possible to unquestioningly adopt its recommendations and still come out ahead — with stronger, tighter prose. Better to be quiet and authoritative than loud and unreliable.

Relax, focus, write your next masterpiece...

Writing presumes more than simply laying out words on a paper. Typely helps you get in the mood and keeps you focused, immersed and ready to write your story.

Whether you need a distraction-free environment, some chill relaxing sounds or a pomodoro timer to manage your time we got you covered.

Got questions? We have answers.

No. Typely is completely free and we plan on keeping it that way. We are considering some advanced features however that might be available under a premium plan.

The only limit we have applied thus far is on the number of characters you can submit and that is being set at a maximum of 50,000.

In theory yes but that will require a lot of work and professionals dedicated for this job. We are considering a way of letting the community participate somehow.

Typely does not do grammar checking because it's hard and almost impossible to get right. The aim for Typely is to be precise and reliable.

How to Edit a Thesis and Revise it Successfully

As a researcher your PhD thesis is the culmination of many years of research on a subject. It helps to showcase your subject matter expertise, academic writing skills and capabilities as an independent researcher. After having spent months and years working on a PhD thesis, most early career researchers rush to submit their work before allowing themselves to take a breather. However, experienced researchers suggest that while taking a break from your thesis might be a good idea, it is imperative to spend some time to proofread, revise, and polish your thesis before submitting it for evaluation. Most early career researchers find this daunting and often procrastinate when it comes to editing PhD thesis and revising it.

Table of Contents

Why Editing PhD thesis and Proofreading it is Essential

Editing and revising your PhD thesis is absolutely essential as it helps improve the clarity and coherence of the thesis. Proofreading entails reading the content to ensure that it is understandable, accurate, and well-presented. A well-written thesis is easy to follow and presents ideas in a logical and organized manner. Editing and proofreading helps to identify areas where the thesis may be unclear or where the argument may be weak. A well-edited and proofread thesis demonstrates attention to detail and a commitment to excellence, which can help to impress the thesis committee and lead to a successful defence.

This article explains the importance of editing and proofreading a PhD thesis and offers advice on how to edit and revise your work.

  Tips for Successfully Editing and Revising Ph.D. Thesis

• Take a break: Once you finish your thesis, give yourself a few days or a week to relax and recharge your energies before return to it with a refreshed perspective. Taking a break from your work can help you to approach it with fresh eyes.
• Pay attention to detail: Take time to carefully edit your PhD thesis from start to finish, stay alert to minor grammatical errors, inaccurate information or issues with formatting. Focus on removing any contradiction and add supporting information where there is a lack of adequate proof.
• Edit section-by-section: Break down the thesis into smaller, more manageable sections to check for spelling errors, citation mistakes and look for problems with structure and coherence. This can be helpful to ease the editing and proofreading process.

• Refine your opening and conclusions: Pay attention to both the introduction and the conclusion of your thesis. They must be well written and impactful and must convey the details of your work in a compelling way. For better understanding and consistency, try re-organizing elements of your thesis by avoiding jargon and using clear and simple language to explain things.
• Ensure that your thesis meets submission guidelines: Most universities and departments may have guidelines and requirements for the submission of dissertations. These can include specifics on whether to use APA or MLA referencing and formatting guidelines. Being aware of these guidelines can ensure that your thesis is well-received and not returned for additional edits at a later stage.
• Check for inaccuracies in citations: Most early career researchers find themselves inadvertently making errors when it comes to listing citations. Reference management tools like Zotero and Mendeley can prove very helpful as they assistsyou with correctly linking sources and citing referenced articles.
• Be vigilant and check for inadvertent plagiarism: Plagiarism in academia is taken very seriously and can invite serious repercussions. Forgetting to insert quotation marks or citing a particular author you have paraphrased is deemed as plagiarism. When proofreading the thesis ensure that you check for these often inadvertent errors and correct them before final submissions.
• Consider using professional editing tools: There are numerous editing tools and apps available online that can be used to identify and fix common mistakes, make your writing clearer and format according to the required citation style, allowing you to submit a perfect thesis. Apps like Researcher.Life help evaluate the submission-readiness of dissertations and research manuscripts in addition to providing editing, translation, and end-to-end support through all stages of academic writing.
• Seek feedback : Having edited and proofread your PhD thesis do share it with your supervisors and request them to provide inputs and feedback. Constructive feedback can prove invaluable and help you to identify areas where you may need to make revisions or improvements. This ensures that your PhD thesis meets the high standards of academic excellence.

Finally, keep aside structured time for editing and proofreading your thesis. While you may be tempted to do so, avoid rushing through the editing and proofreading process. We hope that you will find these tips use in making your editing and proofreading process more efficient, manageable and less overwhelming.

How to Master Your Thesis Outline: A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating a thesis outline can seem like a big job, but it's a crucial first step in organizing your thoughts and research. This guide will walk you through each step of making a clear and detailed thesis outline. By following these steps, you can make the writing process smoother and more manageable.

Key Takeaways

• Pick a research topic that interests you to stay motivated throughout your thesis journey.
• A well-structured outline acts as a roadmap, guiding you through your research and writing process.
• Regularly update your outline as your research progresses to keep it aligned with your objectives.
• Use index cards to organize and visualize your ideas before writing them down.
• Seek feedback from advisors and peers to refine and improve your outline.

Choosing a Research Topic

Identifying your interests.

Start by thinking about what excites you. Pick a topic that you find fun and fulfilling. This will keep you motivated throughout your research. Make a list of subjects you enjoy and see how they can relate to your field of study. Is the topic interesting to you? This is a crucial question to ask yourself.

Evaluating the Scope of the Topic

Once you have a few ideas, check if they are too broad or too narrow. A good topic should be manageable within the time you have. Ask yourself if you can cover all aspects of the topic in your thesis. Does the research topic fit the assignment? This is an important consideration.

Aligning Your Outline with Research Objectives

Ensure that your chosen topic aligns with your research objectives. This will help you stay focused and organized throughout your research process. Make sure there is enough information on the topic , but not too much. This balance is key to a successful thesis.

Establishing a Foundation: Crafting a Thesis Outline

Purpose and importance of a structured outline.

When you start working on your thesis, a well- structured outline is your guide. It helps you organize your ideas and ensures that each part of your thesis is clear and aligned with your research goals. This framework is essential for keeping your arguments focused and making your research impactful.

By following a structured outline, you can manage your time and resources better. It acts as a support system for your research process , helping you tackle complex topics without losing sight of your objectives. Here are some key reasons why a structured outline is crucial:

• It organizes your thoughts and research findings.
• It helps to prevent deviation from your research scope.
• It ensures that your thesis statement is prominently featured, guiding the direction of your study.

Key Components of a Thesis Outline

A strong thesis outline includes several key components. These elements help you structure your research and present your findings logically. Here are the main parts of a thesis outline:

• Introduction : Introduces the topic and presents the thesis statement.
• Literature Review : Surveys existing research and situates your work within the scholarly conversation.
• Methodology : Outlines the research methods and justifies their use.
• Results : Presents the findings of your research.
• Discussion : Interprets the results and discusses their implications.

Creating a Detailed Outline with Index Cards

Using index cards can be a practical way to create a detailed thesis outline. Write down each major point or section on a separate card. This method allows you to easily rearrange and organize your ideas. Here’s how you can do it:

• Write each main idea or section on an index card.
• Include subpoints or details on separate cards and place them under the relevant main idea.
• Arrange the cards in a logical order that flows well.
• Review and revise the order as needed to ensure coherence and clarity.

This approach helps you visualize the structure of your thesis and makes it easier to make adjustments as your research progresses.

Mastering the Literature Review

Utilizing the literature navigator.

Starting your literature review can be overwhelming, but the Literature Navigator can help you manage the process. This tool is designed to save you time, access quality sources, and prevent plagiarism. Follow these steps to make the most of it:

• Begin with a preliminary review using multidisciplinary databases like ProQuest.
• Identify key references and trace their citations to understand the evolution of thought around your topic.
• Refine your approach by reviewing background information and consulting with a librarian if necessary.
• Prepare a detailed outline for your paper, laying the foundation for an in-depth review.

Remember, the process of finding, evaluating, and selecting literature is not linear. Use tools like the Search Planner to keep your research organized. By following these steps and utilizing the Literature Navigator, you can ensure that your literature review is thorough and methodically structured, reflecting a clear understanding of your research area.

Synthesizing Existing Research

Synthesizing research findings is a crucial step in your thesis journey. It involves merging individual pieces of information to form a coherent understanding of your research topic. State your conclusions clearly , ensuring they reflect a synthesis of the research problem, your questions, findings, and the relevant literature. This process not only shows your grasp of the topic but also how your work contributes to the field.

When preparing your synthesis, consider the following steps:

• Review your initial literature search results .
• Identify gaps and how they influence your study's approach.
• Structure your discussion logically, prioritizing significant findings.
• Interpret data cautiously, avoiding over-interpretation.

Identifying Gaps in the Literature

Identifying gaps in the literature is essential for positioning your research within the academic community. Start by reviewing the existing body of work to find areas that have not been explored or need further investigation. This can be done by:

• Analyzing the scope and limitations of current studies.
• Looking for inconsistencies or contradictions in the findings.
• Noting any emerging trends or new areas of interest.

By pinpointing these gaps, you can justify the need for your research and highlight its potential impact. This step is crucial for demonstrating the originality and relevance of your thesis.

Navigating the Research Terrain: Formulating Research Questions

Clarifying Research Objectives

Before diving into your research, it's crucial to clarify your research objectives . These objectives will guide your study and ensure that you stay on track. Start by asking yourself what you aim to achieve with your research. Are you looking to explore a new area, fill a gap in existing literature, or test a specific hypothesis? By defining your objectives early on, you can create a clear roadmap for your research.

Developing Effective Research Questions

Once your objectives are clear, the next step is to develop effective research questions. These questions should be specific, measurable, and aligned with your research goals. Use the 5 W's and H Questions method to brainstorm potential questions:

• What? Define the main focus of your research.
• Why? Explain the significance of your study.
• Who? Identify the population or sample you will study.
• When? Determine the timeframe for your research.
• Where? Specify the location or context of your study.
• How? Describe the methods you will use to conduct your research.

Aligning Questions with Methodology

Finally, ensure that your research questions align with your chosen methodology. Whether you opt for qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods, your questions should be designed to be answerable within the framework of your methodology. For example, if you're using qualitative methods, your questions might focus on understanding experiences or perceptions. If you're using quantitative methods, your questions might aim to measure variables or test relationships between them.

By following these steps, you can formulate research questions that are clear, focused, and aligned with your research objectives and methodology.

Detailing the Methodology

Choosing between qualitative and quantitative methods.

Selecting the right methodology is crucial for your thesis. You need to decide between qualitative and quantitative methods based on your research questions. Qualitative methods are ideal for exploring complex phenomena and understanding human behavior. They often involve interviews, focus groups, and case studies. On the other hand, quantitative methods are suitable for studies requiring statistical analysis and numerical data. Surveys, experiments, and secondary data analysis are common quantitative techniques. Consider the nature of your research and the type of data you need to collect.

Describing Data Collection Techniques

Once you've chosen your methodology, the next step is to describe your data collection techniques. For qualitative research, this might include conducting interviews or focus groups. For quantitative research, you might use surveys or experiments. Be sure to explain why you chose these techniques and how they align with your research objectives. It's also important to address any ethical considerations, especially if you're working with human participants.

Ensuring Reliability and Validity

Ensuring the reliability and validity of your data is essential for producing credible research. Reliability refers to the consistency of your measurements, while validity concerns the accuracy of your findings. To enhance reliability, use standardized procedures and tools. For validity, ensure your methods accurately capture the concepts you're studying. Address potential biases and limitations in your methodology section to provide a transparent and robust framework for your research.

Presenting Your Findings

Organizing data logically.

When presenting your findings, it's crucial to organize your data logically . This can be done by structuring your results around your research questions, hypotheses, or the overall framework of your study. Each major finding should be a subtopic within this section, making it easier for readers to follow and understand your results. Remember, the goal is to present a clear and concise synopsis of your findings , followed by an explanation of key points.

Using Visual Aids Effectively

Visual aids can significantly enhance the presentation of your findings. Utilize charts, graphs, and tables to illustrate your data clearly. These tools not only make your results more engaging but also help in highlighting important findings . Be brief and concise , focusing on the most relevant details. If possible, use visual aids to attract attention and indicate interesting aspects of your data.

Interpreting Results

Interpreting your results involves explaining what your findings mean in the context of your research. Discuss the implications of your results, how they compare with existing studies, and what they contribute to the field. This section should also address any limitations of your study and suggest areas for future research. By providing a thorough interpretation, you help readers understand the significance of your work and its potential impact on the field.

Engaging in Critical Discussion

Analyzing Implications of Findings

When you analyze the implications of your findings, you need to step back and think critically . This means not just describing what you found, but also evaluating what these findings mean in the broader context of your field. It's essential to consider how your results align or contrast with existing studies . This will help you understand the significance of your work and its potential impact.

Comparing with Existing Studies

Comparing your findings with existing studies is a crucial part of critical discussion. This involves looking at how your results fit into the current body of knowledge. Are they consistent with what others have found, or do they challenge established theories? By doing this, you can highlight the unique contributions of your research and identify any gaps that still need to be addressed.

Addressing Limitations

No study is without limitations, and acknowledging these is a key aspect of critical discussion. Discuss the limitations of your research openly and honestly. This not only shows your understanding of the research process but also helps others to see the boundaries of your study. Consider how these limitations might have affected your results and what could be done in future research to overcome them.

Concluding with Impact

Summarizing key findings.

In this section, you need to restate the main points of your research. This is your chance to remind the reader of the journey they have taken through your thesis. Make sure to highlight the most significant findings and how they contribute to your field of study. This is not just a summary but a synthesis of your work, showing how all the pieces fit together.

Reflecting on Research Outcomes

Reflecting on your research outcomes involves discussing the broader implications of your findings. How do they fit into the existing body of knowledge? Do they support or contradict previous studies? This is where you can show the importance of your work and its potential impact on future research . Be honest about any limitations and suggest how future studies could build on your work.

Suggesting Areas for Future Study

No research is ever truly complete. In this section, propose areas where further research is needed. What questions remain unanswered? What new questions have arisen from your findings? This not only shows that you have a deep understanding of your topic but also helps to guide future researchers who may build on your work.

Mastering Time Management for Thesis Completion

Setting specific and measurable goals.

To effectively manage your time while working on your thesis, start by setting specific and measurable goals. Break your project into smaller, manageable tasks and set deadlines for each. This approach not only keeps you on track but also provides a sense of accomplishment as you progress. Establish a consistent writing routine and allocate dedicated time for your thesis.

Creating a Writing Schedule

Creating a writing schedule is essential for staying organized and ensuring steady progress. Use a calendar or project management tool to plan your tasks. Break down your thesis into sections and assign time slots for each. For example:

• Week 1: Literature search and bullet point collation
• Week 2: Creation of figures and initial writing
• Week 3: Completion of writing
• Week 4: Editing and feedback

This structured approach helps you stay focused and avoid last-minute rushes.

Balancing Writing with Other Responsibilities

Balancing your thesis work with other responsibilities can be challenging. To make things more manageable, break the project into smaller steps or stages . Prioritize your tasks and set realistic deadlines. Remember to be flexible but realistic , allowing time for unexpected circumstances. By knowing when your assignments are due and creating a schedule that works for you, you can better manage your time and reduce stress.

Incorporate regular breaks and self-care into your schedule to avoid burnout. Seek support from your advisor and peers to stay motivated and on track. By following these strategies, you can master time management and successfully complete your thesis.

Refining Your Thesis

Seeking feedback from advisors and peers.

Getting feedback is crucial for refining your thesis. Share your draft with your advisor and peers to gain different perspectives. Constructive criticism can help you identify areas that need improvement. Don't hesitate to ask specific questions to guide the feedback process.

Revising for Clarity and Coherence

Revising your thesis involves more than just correcting errors. Focus on improving the clarity and coherence of your arguments. Make sure each section flows logically into the next. Use tools like the Research Proposal Compass to help structure your revisions effectively.

Proofreading for Grammar and Style

Proofreading is the final step in refining your thesis. Pay attention to grammar, punctuation, and style. Reading your work aloud can help you catch errors you might miss when reading silently. Utilize resources like grammar checkers, but don't rely solely on them. Peer reviews can provide valuable feedback and new perspectives.

Preparing for Thesis Submission

Understanding submission guidelines.

Before you submit your thesis, it's crucial to understand the specific guidelines set by your university. These guidelines often include formatting requirements, submission deadlines, and any necessary documentation. Familiarizing yourself with these guidelines early on can save you from last-minute stress. Make sure to check if there are any specific instructions for electronic or hard copy submissions.

Organizing Required Documents

Gather all the necessary documents well in advance. This typically includes your thesis manuscript, any required forms, and supplementary materials like appendices or data sets. Use a checklist to ensure you have everything in order. Proper organization can streamline the submission process and help you avoid any last-minute hiccups.

Planning for Final Revisions

Before you submit, take the time to make any final revisions. This includes proofreading for grammar and style, as well as ensuring that all citations and references are correctly formatted. Consider seeking feedback from advisors or peers to catch any overlooked errors. Remember, a polished thesis reflects your hard work and attention to detail.

1 Healthcare Stock to Sell Now and Never Look Back

September 10, 2024 — 09:45 am EDT

Written by Alex Carchidi for The Motley Fool  ->

If you're holding shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ: WBA) in hopes of it turning around promptly, I think that now is the time to cut your losses on the struggling pharmacy chain and allocate your capital elsewhere. Here's why.

A common investing thesis for this stock is now dead

One of the criteria that can help an investor decide when to sell a stock is whether the investing thesis they formed as a rationale for buying the stock is still valid.

Let's assume you bought Walgreens stock 10 years ago, expecting it to be a safe stock that generates steady and growing dividend income, and modest share-price appreciation. You may have also anticipated that its line of business, providing retail pharmacy services, would hold up relatively well over time even if the world changed a lot.

But that thesis hasn't played out as planned.

In the past 10 years, the total return of the stock has declined by just over 80%. In the same period, quarterly free cash flow (FCF) has dwindled by 53% to just $327 million. In early January of this year, Walgreens slashed its quarterly dividend by 48% compared to the prior quarter, to $0.25 per share.

And in the trailing-12-month period alone, the company spent nearly $27 billion on debt repayment, denying the use of that capital for growth initiatives or for returning it to shareholders.

So, to recap: It wasn't a safe investment, it didn't offer consistent dividend income, and even though people still need to go to a pharmacy to get their prescriptions, that factor apparently hasn't been relevant to preserving the stock's price.

Furthermore, it is not the case that the pharmacy industry as a whole has struggled, which would at least be a consolation for the stock's underperformance. Walgreens' biggest competitor, CVS Health , saw the total return of its shares decline by around 4% in the last 10 years while its quarterly FCF and dividend soared. Take a look at this chart:

WBA Total Return Level data by YCharts .

So what's sinking Walgreens? Its core prescription-filling segment continues to hold up relatively well, expanding the number of prescriptions (excluding immunizations) filled by 1.7% year over year as of its fiscal third quarter (which ended May 31).

But sales of nonprescription healthcare goods are softening, as are prescription reimbursements from insurers. The boost the company got as the economy reopened in 2021 is now long past. More importantly, its bid to diversify into providing primary care is costly and although not a money-burner any more, is still nowhere close to contributing enough to prop up the top or bottom line.

There's no concrete hope for salvation on the horizon. The only path forward in the near term will be for Walgreens to continue selling off its investments and other assets to service its debt, while trimming operating costs and pushing its most profitable segments forward. Such moves could cause it to leave some revenue on the table. And its total assets will likely continue to shrink, which will drag the share price down more.

Even if you're patient, it's time to sell

It's true that Walgreens could salvage itself over the next decade or more. Eventually its primary care segment could be a formidable profit center. And its retail pharmacy segment could become efficient again, with enough time.

But there isn't much evidence of those processes getting very far beyond the starting line yet. Nor are shareholders obligated to hang around after their investing thesis is invalidated, regardless of the precise reasons.

Therefore, I think the best move is to sell the stock now. Even if you're optimistic about a recovery -- and it's hard to see why at the moment -- more downward movement of the stock could be looming. It's safer to back out now, and then return later if you detect the seedlings of a restoration.

Should you invest $1,000 in Walgreens Boots Alliance right now?

Before you buy stock in Walgreens Boots Alliance, consider this:

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Walgreens Boots Alliance wasn’t one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Consider when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you’d have $652,404 !*

Stock Advisor provides investors with an easy-to-follow blueprint for success, including guidance on building a portfolio, regular updates from analysts, and two new stock picks each month. The Stock Advisor service has more than quadrupled the return of S&P 500 since 2002*.
