RE:RE:RE:Picking up the cheapies purchased a "few" stocks since and before 2014, had winners some losers and some over hyped companies. we all need to asses and decide if the management of the companies we trust our hard earned money have the skills to make right decisions in good and challenging economic times. one basic test is the mission statement supported by the results, kind of marrying up leading and lagging indicators. it is easy to get caught up and want to believe a good story, these emotions often are detrimental to investment returns.
