#Investing, Not Rocket Science (37) Review of Stock Selection. New format for future posts.


Welcome to this 37th post of the blog series; Investing, Not Rocket Science! In this post I look back at the stock selection that was done at the start of this series and their performance so far.


Going forward, portfolio picks will be based on three different risk rating scores which you, the reader, can assess by responding to a set of questions. This should make portfolio construction and management relevant to your investment profile.
