Buy and hold? Not really. Short-term trading? Not by a long shot. So what is the stock-picking style of The Jubak's Picks portfolio? I try to go with the market's momentum when the trend is strong and the risk isn't too high, and I go against the herd when the bulls have turned piggy and the bears have lost all perspective.
What are the results of this moderately active -- the holding period is 12 to 18 months -- all-stock portfolio since inception in May 1997? A total return of 314% as of December 31, 2010. That compares to a total return on the S&P 500 stock index of 54% during the same period.
