Market Strategist Jeff Saut: Be Conserative, Not Conventional
I like this guy ... and, I have followed his take on the markets for the past couple of years. In this post he references a rising dividend growth fund as a conserative means to invest in the market. These type funds typically invest in companies that can grow earnings in most market environments and have a history of raising their dividends. I hope you find value in the read.
Thanks for posting the additional link. And, no I had not heard the interview. I did very much enjoy listening to it as Mr. Saut seems to be on my investing wave length and mirrors many of my own thoughts.
My strategy last spring was to sell down some equities, book profit and raise cash. Buy equities during the pull back that came this past summer and then reduce equities again in late spring for a nice profit as I recently did. Currently, I am moderately positioned in equites so I can take avantage of a rising market and with more than ample cash I am holding I can do some buying if the market should pull back later in the year. As Mr. Saut says ... success in the market has a lot to do with managing risk and not so much where you sell but where you establish positions. After all, the price you pay for something has a lot to do with how much you will make when it comes time to sell it.
Know that I will make more should the market continue to rise than I will on a pull back investment move ... but know this too, either way it goes, Skeeter will be there.
Thanks again for posting the additinal like. I enjoyed it much.
