Coach, Is Offense or Defense More Important?

Welcome to today's exciting game where both offense and defense take center stage. 

Defense Coach Robin Ware will explore the Portfolio Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), demonstrating its defensive applications by identifying companies with declining fundamentals. She will evaluate whether these companies should be sold to safeguard our portfolio from potential losses. 

On the offensive side, Coach Mike Torbenson will leverage our insights from the SSG and use the PERT to show how we can enhance our portfolio's returns. He will also discuss which positions we might consider increasing for better performance. 

A team is a team, and by bringing it all together, John Blais will share some best practices for effectively utilizing the PERT within a club setting
