Confident Investor comments: At this time, I think that a Confident Investor can cautiously invest in Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (ADR) as long as the price is correct. Most of the fundamentals of this company are good but there are some concerns. You may want to consider this company if you have a low exposure to international financial companies in your portfolio.

As an example of the success that my book teaches, in a 7 year time frame from January 3, 2006 to December 31, 2012, Decker Corporation increased 304.7% if you would have implemented a pure buy-and-hold strategy. If you would implemented the strategy that I explain in my book, <a “href=”http://booklocker.com/books/6572.html” target=”_blank” style=”color: #000000;”>The Confident Investor, you would have seen a 371.2% return on your investment. This is a 21.8% increase on the profit percentage.

Can your investment system beat the market by that much?
