Our Philosophy

4. Consistent Oversight

In the investment arena, there is a constant stream of market data. Buyers and seller meet each day in the market to act on their interpretation of current data. The market is a real-time, live, daily auction.

When sellers are in control (supply) the trends are down. When buyers are in control (demand) the trends are positive.

There is a growing universe of Echange Traded Funds (ETF). Collectively, ETFs have exposure to the global capital markets. ETFs represent a broad range of market sectors and countries. Tracking and graphing prices of ETFs creates a visual of on-going or changing trends.

It is important to stay vigilant for market weakness and quickly remove faltering portfolio holdings. There is safety in cash when market trends are weakening or negative. Patient investors watch and wait for positive trends to develop before commiting their cash to the market. This is an on-going process that adapts risk exposure to the prevailing market conditions.

“…the key to good performance is the ability to identify those stocks that are detracting from the performance of the portfolio. Most portfolio managers spend most of their time and effort trying to find the next big winner in the stock market but good portfolio performance depends more on finding and eliminating the bad stocks from the portfolio.”
