We consider risk management a top priority:
- We always have a plan to sell to limit losses.
- We are willing to hold large cash positions during turbulent times.
- We utilize sound rules of diversification.
We research. We have reasons for every investment we make.
We look for the most favorable risk/reward relationships.
We not only try to choose the most attractive sectors but we look for the top funds and fund managers in those sectors. Most of the funds we have chosen have added extra return over and above that sector’s index.
We use both fundamental and technical analysis.
We listen to good ideas from other smart investment professionals.
We aren’t too diversified. Over diversification produces index-type results.
We are comfortable being contrarians.
We are willing to change direction if conditions change.
We have invaluable experience. Alone, Larry has 28 years of direct investing experience.
We have a high level of skepticism. We aren’t easily convinced of an investment’s merits.
We are not focused on commissions because we aren’t paid commissions.
We really like what we do.
