August 2017 Weekly Stock Pick Performance
An important consideration is that underlying economic fundamentals remain strong and determine business and stock performance in the long-run. Consider temporary corrections as buying opportunities. My stock picks are a good place to start your research when adding to your portfolio positions during a period of falling prices. Also, don’t sell your good stocks and leave yourself with the bad ones because that will hurt you in the long-run. Last, make sure you have an objective and time-horizon for your portfolio. Good Investing!
