Ocrofts A+ stocky are less likely to falter though not guaranteed they won't.They have highest consistency in earnings and dividends per sp evaluation
One should look at his technique as a high probability of success but not a guarantee.
If it has a probability of 90 % success. then 10% failure rate is very acceptable failure rate.
If he diversifies he should be successful on average but not guaranteed .
We all play the averages some better than others. Aim helps us but doesn't guarantee success.
GE an A+ stock cut its dividend in 2009 . It is still struggling to recoup. The mortgage crisis made it vulnerable as a possible but debateable black swan event. I bought it thinking it was the rock of Gibralta . Immovable and sustainable. I was wrong. But i did diversify and up about 40% since I bought other stocks that sustained themselves . I won some i lost some.
We cant guarantee success. We can only hope the averages are with us and we try to maximize our playing of a very complex and poorly predictable game.
