Chasing the Perfect Stock: A Foolish Perspective
You've been Rickrolled by a mildly plausible article title. Those keyword-packed headlines work, don't they?
The Motley Fool Way
- Diversification for the win: Serious investors should hold at least a couple of dozen stocks in their portfolios, spread across various industries, geographic markets, and company-size cohorts.
- Undervalued potential: Great companies that have hit a rough patch can create a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
- The right mix: It can pay off to find stocks with some of the qualities Buffett loves (solid fundamentals) and a dash of the growth potential that thrills Wood.
- A long-term mindset: Buffett's favorite holding period is 'forever,' and The Motley Fool tends to agree.
- Doing your homework: No stock is worth a blind bet. Research is key to separating long-term winners from flash-in-the-pan hype. The more you know, the better you'll get at picking great investments.
Investing shouldn't be about chasing get-rich-quick schemes. If you can focus on building wealth over time through smart choices, you'll be much better off.
