DWCM Q2 2012: What Sets Investors’ Results Apart

DWCM friends, clients, and readers,

Please find attached DreamWorks Capital Management 2nd Quarter Investment Newsletter.

I can remember various times in the markets over the course of the past few decades where investing looked easy.  A situation where rising tides would lift all boats or in these cases all stock prices.  The late 90’s during the Dotcom bubble, the period after the great recession and to some degree the first quarter of 2012 are all examples.

A decent stock picker can make just as many good picks as a bad stock picker in a bull market.  One of the skills that sets a great investor apart from the crowd is the ability to know when and how to diversify one’s assets.  Knowing when to be invested is just as important as knowing when not to be invested.

Investing is not about trying to time the markets.  At DWCM we focus on having a core foundation of assets around which to build a strategy, and then look for pockets of opportunities for investment.  People can become their own worst enemy when it comes to investing, which is the basis for our case study this quarter.
