Investment Considerations
While using these portfolios, investors should conduct their own thorough research on each company. This includes understanding the broader industry dynamics and assessing non-quantitative factors like management quality. Investors should also prepare for the inherent uncertainties of stock trading, particularly with stocks that are infrequently traded or have lower share prices.
