Fear and Greed
Article Abstract:
Bill Garrison is an institutional investment advisor. In an interview he exhibits some of the thinking that has enabled him to make the excellent stock calls he has made in the past. He and his firm manage several institutional accounts. The touchstone of his approach is capital preservation. He and his company have developed a debt alternative. This represents an average of thirty- day commercial paper, triple-A utilities and a reinvestment rate. He invests in stocks that give him a significant return over that alternative. Fundamentals of a company are also explored before purchase. They also measure a 200-day moving average of the Media General Composite and the ratio of positive tick volume to negative tick volume to time purchases. Right now he believes that retail and financial stocks are under valued. He recommends several individual stocks.
