We may not make much money, but we sure have a lot of fun!
A Caveat
Before dashing off buy any stock it is important to understand the risks involved. While we believe our Hero stocks have the ingredients necessary for success, the future is far from certain and some will inevitably tun into trouble. There will also be periods – like the crash of 2008 – when stocks generally do poorly. There are no guarantees when it comes to the stock market.
It is important to do your own due diligence. Make sure a company’s situation hasn’t changed in some substantial way. Read the latest press releases and regulatory filings. Study media stories and get up to speed on all the recent developments. Take particular care when buying or selling smaller stocks and those that trade infrequently. If you take a cautious approach to the market, you’ll be more likely to enjoy what it has to offer.
If you haven’t already, find out how we selected the heroes and then take a look at the giant table that contains data on each of the largest 200 stocks in the land.
