QUESTIONS WORTH TESTING
What are we investigating?
Some investing ideas sound sensible. We want to know what evidence supports them — and what remains uncertain.
What happens when stocks are selected using simple rules?
A consistent rule is testable. That does not mean the outcome is guaranteed.
Can a company's earnings help us understand its share price?
Reliable comparisons depend on which information was known at the time.
