Picking winners on a consistent basis is not an easy task – especially given the volatility associated with a single stock.

Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
