HOW THE MANAGER INVESTS
WHAT IS YOUR INVESTING STRATEGY? (GROWTH, VALUE, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, ETC.)
answer --> I mix a few large-cap value stocks with small- and micro-cap growth and blend stocks for an overall high-risk portfolio. Most of my investments come in Health Care, but I keep a small holding of Materials to balance out geopolitical changes and international tension.
HOW DO YOU SELECT NEW COMPANIES FOR YOUR FUNDS?
answer --> I am a balance sheet addict: if a company is decreasing their debt every year while remaining stable or increasing on profits - even if they have a high P/E - I am inclined to give them a look. Also, companies that have the potential to be bought out are also on the radar.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE TO REMOVE A STOCK FROM YOUR FUNDS?
answer --> Normally I use trailing stops to secure all of my stocks, but recently I have removed them because of increased volatility in the market. Now much of my decision depends on company financial releases and general market factors.
