Many investors are not confident about their ability to do accurate
technical analysis of quality growth stocks. They tend to rely too much on historical data to forecast future sales and earnings
growth. They also make mistakes in predicting future P/E Ratios. These errors in judgment often result in inaccurate calculation of
Upside/Downside Ratios, resulting in poor investing decisions. If this sounds like YOU, then please register to attend this educational
event. The Directors of the Central PA Chapter of BetterInvesting will cover all sections of the Stock Selection Guide (SSG) and
answer any questions you may have.
