  • Foreign companies (except those that are listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ)
  • Utilities
  • Subsidiaries of larger corporations.
  • Conglomerates (GE and Berkshire Hathaway for example) and Media companies (strongly recommended)
  • Insurance Companies, Banks and Investment Companies unless granted permission by Prof. Reichart.
  • As a general rule of thumb, focused companies, those that are predominantly operating on one primary industry, are superior to more diversified, conglomerate firms.
