| The average holding period is around 2.2 years

The minimum time period a stock can be held is 1 month. The maximum time period a stock can be held is 4 years. (Although it is rare for a stock to be held this long it does happen.)

Our approach is well described by Benjamin Graham in this quote:

The disciplined, rational investor neither follows popular choice nor plays market swings; rather he searches for stocks selling a price below their intrinsic value and waits for the market to recognize and correct its errors. It invariably does and share price climbs. When the price has risen to the actual value of the company, it is time to take profits, which then are reinvested in a new undervalued security. - Benjamin Graham

This approach has both proven very safe and provided high annual returns, but it does require some patience. Sometimes the patience needed may appear quite considerable. But most of the stock picks in our experience have not taken that long to show unrealized profits, (even if we might not sell them right away).

Question 5

Does Weekly Stocktip have a stop-loss system?

Accepted Answer

Does Weekly Stocktip have a stop-loss system?

| No. Weekly Stocktipdoes not provide or recommend setting a stop-loss value.

The investor with a portfolio of sound stocks should expect their prices to fluctuate and should neither be concerned by sizable declines nor become excited by sizable advances. He should always remember that market quotations are there for his convenience, either to be take advantage of or to be ignored. He should never buy a stock because it has gone up or sell one because it has gone down. - Benjamin Graham Our strategy dynamically tries to figure out the best time to sell a stock based on financials. It is much better at managing and evaluating risk than any hard-coded stop-loss system we have tried.

Since human investors have to deal with emotions, it is normal to try to control those emotions is by following a static stop-loss. E.g. -10% (if a stock drops 10% in value, no matter what you sell it). However algorithms don't have to worry about emotions at all, instead it analyzes the risk to figure out if it statistically makes sense to keep holding onto the stock, or sell off and take the loss.

Let's say a stock price drops 20% in value in a single day, because of speculations that something will happen, or a scandal about the CEO. Sometimes these events have absolutely nothing to do with the future profitability of the company or its financial situation. The stock might very well drop in price, but if it's still a financially sound investm
