    The Diversification Test Every Investor Should Run (Built Into GNG)

    Counting holdings is misleading - a 12-stock, 10-industry model that appeared diversified lost most diversification once positions were grouped by underlying return drivers Academic rules conflict on count - Evans & Archer (1968) says 10-15 stocks, Statman (1987) 30-40, Statman (2004) >300, all assume near-zero pairwise correlation (~0.08) Portfolio risk decomposes into idiosyncratic risk/N plus average covariance - the covariance is the non-diversifiable floor that additional names cannot breach Run the 20-minute test - build a pairwise correlation matrix or regress returns by economic drivers, compute average covariance and effective number of independent bets GNG embeds this test - prioritize holdings with distinct economic engines, size concentration to your demonstrated edge, and use ETF sleeves if you lack research bandwidth (peer uses 50% ETF)

    Texas Instruments Stock Fell 19% Over the Past 3 Months. So Why Are Analysts Raising Targets?

    Texas Instruments (TXN) stock has dropped 19% in the last three months, despite the company reporting strong Q2 results and providing optimistic Q3 guidance. This decline is attributed to the stock's significant 70% year-to-date rally prior to the earnings call, leaving little room for error, and a broader semiconductor market downturn. Despite the stock's fall, analysts have continued to raise their price targets, with a mean target of $325, and TIKR's model suggesting a target of $619 by 2030, driven by anticipated margin expansion and multiple recovery.

    Union Pacific (NYSE:UNP) Could Be A Buy For Its Upcoming Dividend

    Union Pacific (NYSE:UNP) is set to go ex-dividend in four days, with a dividend payment of US$1.42 per share. The company has a trailing dividend yield of 1.8% and its dividend payments are well-covered by both profits (45% payout ratio) and free cash flow (50% payout ratio). While earnings have grown by 9.3% annually over the last five years, a high payout ratio might limit future reinvestment and growth.
