  • Diversify your portfolio and do not rely solely on stock target prices to make investment decisions. Invest in a mix of stocks, bonds, and other assets to manage risk.
Remember that stock target prices are just estimates and are subject to change. Therefore, using them as one factor in a larger investment strategy is essential rather than relying solely on them to make decisions.
