I can’t guarantee that my reasoning will always be correct. I can’t even guarantee that if you follow any of my ideas that you will make any money. I can guarantee that even if my reasoning is always correct that there will be times my portfolio will show a loss, sometimes substantially. Individual stocks fluctuate, sometimes wildly. This is a good thing from an investment standpoint. This volatility, in theory, makes it possible to buy low and sell high. I have no ability to call the bottom though, so there will be times when I recommend apparent bargains that will go on to become even greater bargains. My basic strategy is to concentrate on a relatively small number of stocks (generally 6-12 with no more than 15% of my net worth in any one) that I believe to be at least 50% undervalued. However, this is a strategy that will have high portfolio volatility.
