Episode Description
Today we are speaking with Paul M. DeSisto, CFA, Director and Senior Portfolio Manager with M&R Capital Management, Inc. M&R looks at value stocks using growth criteria, which includes 3 to 5 years projected earnings growth, 10% or more, AND positive earnings revisions over the last four weeks. They generally avoid commodity type companies, e.g. steel producers or commodity chemical companies, as they tend to be capital intensive, requiring significant cash flow to be reinvested back into the business just to remain competitive. For 2013 they lean toward dividend-paying stocks, as they believe the bull market that began in the Spring of ‘09 is getting long in the tooth; large capitalization stocks do better in the later stages of bull markets, and these tend to pay dividends. We also suggest investing in short-term domestic junk bonds via exchange-traded funds. M&R believes such vehicles are a viable alternative to money-market instruments that are paying virtually nothing.
