From all of our research, and our newfound familiarity with
the topic, we conclude that investing can be a great thing, but not performed
correctly it can lead to great losses. There's something in the market for
everyone, from the safety concerned investor to the strong stomached. One does
not have to take great risk to realize great gains, but to perform research and
to maintain a long-term outlook are the two most important tenets.
The strategy we have outlined does not show anything new, but
advocates diligent research and longterm investing. It combines the best
aspects of the strategies that have been proven to work to try to create an
idealistic hybrid. Of course, in order to have any academic significance it
still needs to be proven and doing so could involve a lot of work and data
collection. However, from our analysis of different sources, we believe that
the strategy we have synthesized will work by helping the investor pick
companies with strong assets that will perform well in the long run in a bear
or a bull market.
