The exercises from Chapter IX on risk considerations are:
- Explore a few different news sites for business and economic news, and check out Rover’s Weekly Market Brief for a summary of the week’s economic events. What do you learn that could be applicable to your investing?
- Chart all sectors against the S&P 500 over different time periods. Which sectors are performing the best?
- How do you feel about the sector and industry that your stock is in? Does it seem like a good place to be, or are there strong headwinds?
- Consider the red flags covered in this chapter. Does your stock match any of them? If so, does this lead you to any new concerns about the company? Or does it cause you to feel more positively about it? Why?
