Buy Low, Sell High - Any Questions?
There's no doubt about it, investors are scared. After soaring upward in the first quarter of 2012, the S&P 500 Index has now plunged based on worries about the US recovery as well as continued Eurozone woes. Many investors are paralyzed on the sidelines while others are seeing their buy-and-hold portfolios look more like a roller coaster than an investment portfolio.
However, there is an investment strategy that has the potential to take the market's lemons and make lemonade. Renown investor, Warren Buffett, follows a value-style investment strategy and has done so successfully for many years. For such investors, market uncertainty can actually mean opportunity to scoop up the stocks of good companies at discounted prices.
This week, I'm going to review value investing and how it can bring some stability and growth potential to a portfolio. After that, I'll introduce you to Yacktman Capital Group, a value-style money manager right in our backyard here in Austin. Yacktman has improved upon Buffett's approach to value investing and we are excited to offer this emerging manager to our clients. If you are out of the market or heavily invested in buy-and-hold strategies, you owe it to yourself to check out Yacktman's Concentrated Composite Strategy.
