FINDING THE FACTORS THAT REALLY MATTER FOR VALUE INVESTING

What we do NOT do

• The markets are not predictable on the short term. The returns of the screeners do not depend on attempts to predict the future of market indexes, ratios or any sort of data.
• We are not smart enough to develop (and hence apply) fancy math tools.
• We do not use charting nor any other kind of « astrological » tool.

We do not use leverage, derivatives or

other « weapons of mass destruction »

• Our investment methods do not use derivatives of any sort. Derivatives might loose the investor’s money quickly and we are in no hurry. The investments are made in straight equity.
• Our investment methods do not rely on leverage.
• Our servers do not have to be a few centimeters away from that of the stock markets. The strategies we investigate are not « day trading » but rather « buy and hold » oriented.

We do not try to predict or forecast the future

We do not give any sort of warranty on future results

• Though we test the results of our screening methods very comprehensivelly and recommend the usage of strategies that proved their performance on long periods of time in the past, market conditions might change, the screening methods might be copied, or the factors chosen to make investment decisions might become less relevant in the future, which can lead to a high volatility of our screening methods. As a result, we do not give ANY WARRANTY on the future returns of our proposed investment strategies.
• We do hope and believe, though, that the strict and carefull choice of investments according to the methods that we have developped are likelly to provide satisfactory results on the long run.
