Remembering the Meltdown of 1987: A Cautionary Tale
October 19, 1987, is a day etched in the memories of financial professionals who lived through it. The stock market meltdown that occurred on that fateful day serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of the markets.
A Season for Every Activity
As a seasoned geopolitical, economic, and resource analyst, I’ve learned that there’s a time for everything in investing. Rather than specializing in a single approach, such as growth or value investing, I believe in reviewing all 11 sectors of the S&P 500 to find the best opportunities for balance and steady income.
The Dangers of Specialization
Those who focus on a single area, whether it’s tech or real estate investment trusts (REITs), risk living and dying by that one approach. In contrast, my approach involves analyzing each sector to identify the most promising investments across the board.
A Balanced Approach
My investment strategy is centered around finding a balance between growth, value, and steady income. By reviewing all sectors, I’m able to identify opportunities that might be overlooked by those with a narrower focus.
Experience Matters
With over five decades of experience in the markets, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of adapting to changing conditions. My approach has been honed over the years, and I’m committed to sharing my insights with others.
