HOW THE MANAGER INVESTS
WHAT IS YOUR INVESTING STRATEGY? (GROWTH, VALUE, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, ETC.)
answer --> Varies by fund. My investing style is primarily a combination of value, momentum and fundamental. There was a period during the past several years when learning FOREX that I lost interest in Marketocracy and the stock market. At this writing I only maintain the GCF and GOLD funds on a current basis since I don't have the time to run them all. Bear funds are certainly not my bag.
HOW DO YOU SELECT NEW COMPANIES FOR YOUR FUNDS?
answer --> This is hard to answer particularly since it varies by fund. For the most part I have to see past growth in sales and earnings with the expectation that it will continue or in some cases accelerate. Favorable prospects for a sector, liquidity, and the prospect of rapid future price appreciation also play a part. In some cases dividends (GGF) are considered. Some selections are made from a contrarian approach.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE TO REMOVE A STOCK FROM YOUR FUNDS?
answer --> When the stock does not do what I expect it to do or I feel that most of the expected appreciation has been gained I get rid of it. Quite often I eliminate a stock which is "borderline" to free up capital for a situation which I feel is better. I have not yet decided whether I need stricter criteria (mechanical) in buying and selling for my funds. I am also finding that the more funds you manage with the greater diversity of stocks and sectors, the harder it is to organize and oversee them. I also feel that my turnover is way too high and am working to reduce this.
