Investment Comment
Stock investing is not just a science but an art.It also requires conviction on
the companies one is investing in,based on accurate valuation analyses of
the businesses and the industries.
It also requires a temperament so that one can withstand and not be
influenced by potentially,wild short term fluctuations in the prices that the
businesses are being traded at in stock markets,today.
It also requires a flexible mindset so that one can admit to making mistakes
on stock selections,if their future business performance does not meet the
expectations of one’s analysis.
Even though the intention is to hold these stocks for at least 3 years,if
business operating performance materially deteriorates or a more
compelling investment appears due to valuation,this stock portfolio will
change. All changes will be updated.
