Cabot China & Emerging Markets ReportThe most important key to managing your portfolio is having a investing system.
If you like the idea of buying stocks at a discount and then holding on for years while they appreciate to fair value (the Warren Buffett way), then you are a
value investor and you should follow that system. You'll make money.
If you cherish the thrill of finding hot, young stocks that are climbing like rockets and riding them to huge gains—and you can tolerate—and minimize—the losses that inevitably accompany this strategy—then you're a
growth investor, and you should stick to your guns. You'll make money.
Whatever system you use, a strict sell discipline needs to be an integral part of it. If you ever forget that the market actively wants to take your money, the value of your portfolio will be glad to remind you. We've selected the following articles from various Cabot publications to help you keep to your investing system and manage your stock portfolio.
