Get Actionable Investing Ideas
From John Navin
John’s Marketocracy work is profiled in The Warren Buffetts Next Door: The World’s Greatest Investors You’ve Never Heard Of by Forbes Investments Editor Matt Schifrin (2010, Forbes).
John was appointed a “Marketocracy Mfolio Manager” after creating an investment portfolio that placed in the top 10 out of 80,000 competitors over a ten year period in the early 2000’s.
John writes the Probabilities blog at Forbes.com: and has two model portfolios.
John's Approach is based on 2 different methods:
1.
Value analysis based on a modern approach to the methods described by Benjamin Graham in his classic on the subject The Intelligent Investor. This involves a close study of price- earnings ratios, recent earnings, past 5-year earnings, book value, price-to-sales, price-to-free cash flow, dividend payments and other similar factors. The view here is for the long-term and not for trading.
2.
Price chart analysis is applied to determine trend, trading ranges, breakouts or breakdowns and relationships to sectors and indexes. The study of daily, weekly and monthly price charts is the method to locate edges for trading. The view here is short to intermediate term with targets and stop losses indicated for those positions taken. A model portfolio for each type of analysis is updated regularly.
