BEV is an acronym for business, economic and valuation model. It is a proprietary quantitative and qualitative equity investment system based on 20 years of research and development.
Buy, hold and sell decisions are based on a formula that scores the stock valuation in relationship to the company 's business fundamentals and economics.

The decision error is demonstrated by putting too much weight on valuation and less weight on the economics of industry and the product life cycle
