My investment strategy is pretty simple. I want to own 20-30 high-quality growth stocks with the best fundamentals at the most reasonable valuations — if the fundamentals begin to disappoint or the valuation no longer looks compelling I will trim or sell my position. If the fundamentals remain strong and valuation remains reasonable then I’ll add on pullbacks. I only want to own stocks that have at least 50% upside within the next 1-2 years and at least 100% upside within the next 3-4 years. If I buy stocks that are too expensive, the fundamentals aren’t good enough or my investment thesis is flawed — then I’ll never hit my investment targets. My objective is to maximize performance in good markets and minimize losses in bad markets. I accomplish this by being very selective in what I own but also using technical analysis and hedges to protect my portfolio in market downturns.
