Over the year following the establishment of these three portfolios, the FF methodology itself was challenged by many as an invalid technique. Scholarly critics claimed, with some justification, that the strategy is simply a random association of variables, and that the FF method is the product of data mining, a grievous statistical error. Further, an internal study lent strong support to those arguments.

>>Explanation was that "the criticisms levied against the FF method [Foolish Four] had substantial merit."<<

I set up a small portfolio following the FF techniques and stayed with it for almost two years.Finally sold it off and re-invested in G & K types a couple of months ago. Fortunately got out with a small profit.If the portfolio was still going it would be down about 10% for this year, a little more for the entire time period.
