Market View

Are we engaging in the same-ole, same-ole Nifty Fifty approach to investing? When the market really heats up, just buy the biggest companies and expect that they can't go down? Gloss over more careful valuations and buy at any cost?

Well, I think a little of that is good, actually. Buying the right businesses at the wrong price is much more rewarding than buying mediocrity at a great price.

While I don't expect the next ten years to bring the sort of growth that has the last ten, I continue to believe that buying great companies which have proven time and again that they're bent on rewarding their shareholders is a solid strategy for the private investor.

Man, it sure beats churned brokerage accounts or expensively underperforming mutual funds! It'll be good fun keeping an eye on these ten stocks. See you in a decade!

Fool on,
