My investing philosophy is very simple: Investors ought to buy and hold great companies. It doesn't get more complicated than that. Avoid trading in and out of stocks, and be well-diversified. Investors should own at least 12 stocks, and have a goal of owning 20.
The key to doing well on Wall Street is actually very simple: Buy and hold shares of outstanding companies. But too many investors never learn this valuable lesson. Or if they do learn it, they learn it the hard way. That's where I come in. I want to help investors avoid the mistakes that separate successful investors from those who always find themselves spinning their wheels.
There are lots of pitfalls on Wall Street. From shady companies that are more popular than they are profitable to a mutual fund industry that's more interested in its fees than serving investors. Today's investors must be careful.
At Crossing Wall Street, I give investors my free and unbiased view of the market. I probably analyze dozens of companies every week. I'm always looking over income statements and balance sheets.
