The author offers advice on investment strategy. The "Prudent Speculator" philosophy, devised by the late Al Frank, founder of our newsletter, and refined by me over the past 13 years, could not care less about momentum and stock patterns or whether our stocks are of big companies or small, U.S. or foreign, high tech or low tech or no tech. As a result, our newsletter is the number one performer over the past 10 and 20 years in terms of total return, according to the Hulbert Financial Digest, which follows investment letters. The reason I'm going through this exercise in self-congratulation, aside from establishing credibility, is to point out that narrow-minded styles of investing have real weaknesses. Don't listen to market pundits fretting about high valuations for the major market averages. Shrug off others' worries about standard deviations, alphas and betas. You will be far better served by seeking out value where others fail to see it. So what's the best way to pick stocks? Build and maintain broadly diversified portfolios of undervalued and out-of-favor companies, such as IMI, InVision Technologies, Dura Automotive, Wellman, Lamson & Sessions, Huffy, Traffix, Frequency Electronics, Keynote Systems, American Software, Bristol-Myers, and Washington Mutual.
