HOW THE MANAGER INVESTS
WHAT IS YOUR INVESTING STRATEGY? (GROWTH, VALUE, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, ETC.)
answer --> I keep a long watch list and and wait until stocks are near their 52 week low or buy them a few days after a huge sell off that is an over reaction to news in my opinion. Sometimes I buy on good news if I recognize it soon enough. I tend to favor mid-cap companies with ratios below the industry averages and ties to larger companies and companies that have been profitable in the past, became unprofitable in the recession, and that I feel will turn the corner again. In the area of biotech I look for companies working on multiple drug developments that have acquired companies that I believe will add to their value. My funds are testing a buy and hold strategy and I aim to show that good stock picking ability will outperform the majority of actively managed portfolios. My funds will have low turnover and will take big positions in a few stocks that I am confident are good investments.
HOW DO YOU SELECT NEW COMPANIES FOR YOUR FUNDS?
answer --> I research and follow news announcements for the companies on my long watch list. I pay attention to earnings, collaborations, new technological achievements, and also emotional overreactions by investors.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE TO REMOVE A STOCK FROM YOUR FUNDS?
answer --> If it has reached a new 52 week high that isn't supported by new news I keep a close watch on it. I try to get a feel for the momentum a stock has and investor sentiment shown by its ability to resist down days.
