How to use this list
- A high score does not mean the stock will go up: use it to decide which companies to look at first.
- Open each company page: the score by category, the metrics and the main risk matter more than the position.
- Compare with your horizon, your risk tolerance and what you already own. Diversification is still the basic rule.
