  • I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke
    Today, as Coke's soft drink competitors saturate U.S. markets, the company has concentrated its expansion efforts abroad. Against the backdrop of a weak U.S. economy, Coke's overseas growth has contributed to the stock's decent performance over the past year. But I'm convinced that it could've performed better. Fortunately, there is a way for us to profit from the worldwide recognition of Coca Cola's products. Two of the stocks in my global growth portfolios are poised to offer the type of profit growth and stock price increases I like to see.
  • Investing: The Power of Growth
    There are many different ways to approach the stock market. There are value investors like Warren Buffett and Ben Graham who try to find companies that appear cheap and have a good chance of recovering. Another approach is to buy an index fund that matches the market's performance. Really, there are many different ways to look at the equation. But when I look at the stock market, what I want to know is: How can I make the most money while taking on the least amount of risk?
  • Dividend Stocks: Do Dividends Really Matter?
    Are dividend stocks worth buying? Better yet, do dividends really matter? In the latter part of the previous decade, many investors decided that they really did not. Who needed dividends when stock prices flew to the moon? Then the tech bubble popped at the beginning of this millennium. A few years on, investors are witnessing another disaster unfold on Wall Street–only this time, it's subprime-fueled financials. It's safe to say that these investors like to learn their lessons the hard way!
  • The Zig-Zag Approach: How to Invest Money During Any Market
    I love teaching other investors my preferred method on how to invest money. One of the most important tools I use in putting together portfolios of growth stocks is what I call the principle of zig-zag. Our goal is to have portfolios of stocks with powerful fundamentals and extreme buying pressure and to stay invested at all times. In order to accomplish this, we have to take as much of the daily stock market gyrations out of the equation and let the strength of our stocks speak for themselves. Zig-Zag can help do exactly this.
  • The Perfect Portfolio Allocation: 60-30-10 the Ideal Mix
    The concept of how to invest money in the best allocation within an equity portfolio is something that has confused and stumped investors for years. When should I raise cash? How much cash should I raise? When do I go back into stocks? My research over the years has shown the answers to these three questions to be relatively simple: Never. None. Stay invested. You might think that this sounds too risky, but remember that one of the hallmarks of my approach on how to invest money is take the market out of the equation to the greatest degree possible so that we can instead focus on owning stocks whose strong fundamentals and powerful buying pressure will give us the greatest possible reward.
