FYI: (Click On Article Title At Top Of Google Search) "Columbia Large Cap Growth Takes A Long-Term View"
Wall Street analysts do a good job of estimating earnings and revenue a few quarters down the line, says John Wilson, managing director and senior equity portfolio manager of Columbia Threadneedle, and manager of the $3.4 billion Columbia Large Cap Growth fund. But they often miss longer-term trends. Therein lies opportunity, even among the market’s largest stocks. “We try to focus heavily on new-product pipelines, whether it’s in biotechnology or technology, where the Street’s estimates might not be properly modeled,” he says.
