FYI: Much like life, investment strategies have their seasons. On a daily basis, I monitor two dozen or so investment strategies that have a strong record of outperforming the broader U.S. stock market over time. Here's what I have learned
First, there are many different ways to skin the investment cat. Value, growth, buybacks, IPO investing, insider sentiment and other strategies all approach the market differently in trying to outperform it.
Second, no investment strategy works in all markets, all the time. This year's winners may turn out to be next year's dogs and vice versa.
