Earlier this week, in our Value Research Stock Advisor service, we recommended a stock that we have wanted to recommend for years. In fact, the team and I have discussed recommending this stock every month since our service launched, but we have never done so until now.
So why didn't we? Let me tell you this old joke/quote about sculpting, which is sometimes attributed to Michelangelo.
That's a beautiful statue, an admirer said to the great sculptor. It must be so difficult to make such a beautiful statue.
"It's very easy," said the sculptor. You just take a block of marble and chip away the parts that are not the statue.
Let's look at our Value Research Stock Advisor. What do we do? We publish a list of stocks which we think you should invest in. However, what we actually do is take the entire universe of stocks and remove those you should not invest in. I'm not just adapting the old joke to what my team does. This is actually a good description of our methodology and has played a strong role in the success we have had.
Just as Michelangelo saw the statue within the marble, waiting to be revealed by removing everything that was not the statue, we applied a similar philosophy to selecting stocks. In a vast ocean of investment opportunities, our task is akin to identifying the true masterpieces hidden within.
However, to start with, we systematically eliminate the stocks that don't meet our stringent criteria. This process of exclusion not only simplifies the decision-making process for our subscribers but also minimises their exposure to unnecessary risk. It's a method that requires patience, precision, and a deep understanding of what makes a stock truly valuable.
Throughout the years, Value Research has refined this unique method for assessing and selecting high-quality stocks. Our approach starts with the broad spectrum of publicly traded companies and progressively applies various criteria, filters, and assessments. From our vantage point, we've come to recognise that creating a strategy for choosing the right stocks inherently involves identifying and excluding the wrong ones.
Regardless of its appealing attributes, if a stock exhibits any of these negative indicators, we categorically exclude it from consideration.
So why did we not recommend this great stock? Let me keep the mystery, but I'll give you a hint: too many investors thought it was great!
If you want to learn the identity of this great stock and understand the mystery, then you'll have to visit the home page of Value Research Stock Advisor and take it from there.
