I am a strong believer and advocate in the strength of the U.S. capital markets amid the global growth story.

My intentions are to focus on investments with a long-term perspective. Personally, I am an advocate of dynamic hedging and risk mitigation with any portfolio. However, I recognize that many people are not familiar or entirely comfortable with using derivatives and options to manage risk.

So, from that perspective, I try to maintain a focus on recommendations that are less speculative and are suited to meeting a strict criteria of fundamental analysis and relative presence that defines the sector as a leader or best of breed; or that the particular security and underlying instrument trades within reasonable valuations as opposed to chasing momentum or day trading scenarios.
