Clearing Up the Confusion: Understanding Investment Ratings
There appears to be a misunderstanding among some investors regarding the distinction between a “Hold” and a “Sell” rating. In recent articles, we’ve downgraded certain stocks from “Buy” to “Hold”, only to have some readers misinterpret this as a “Sell” signal. To clarify, our approach is rooted in the traditional finance principle of entering or acquiring an investment opportunity.
As a reminder, our ratings are designed to provide guidance, not dictate investment decisions. A “Hold” rating indicates that the stock’s current value is in line with its intrinsic worth, whereas a “Sell” rating suggests that the stock is overvalued and may be due for a correction.
In the spirit of transparency, I’d like to disclose that I have a long position in FTSL through stock ownership, options, or derivatives. This article represents my personal opinions and is not influenced by any external compensation or business relationships. As always, past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and investors should carefully consider their individual circumstances before making any investment decisions.
