Chuck's top advice for DIY investors...

Chris DeMuth is one of 25 Seeking Alpha Contributors participating in the 2017 DIY Investing Summit. In the summit, one of the questions I asked Chris was how he is positioning himself for 2017. Below is an excerpt from the interview and a summary of his response.

http://diyinvestingsummit2017.com/

How Chris is prepping for 2017...

  • Looking for ideas with hard catalysts. As markets get more expensive, investments require harder and more compelling evidence.
  • Has big positions in Rite-Aid (RAD), BNCCorp (BNCC), and Bob Evans (BOBE).
  • Believes that a double digit market decline could be on the horizon and wants to be ready. This is a good time to be comfortable with cash and value flexibility.
  • A good idea to be more liquid than marginal counterparty.

Chris DeMuth is one of 25 Seeking Alpha Contributors participating in the 2017 DIY Investing Summit. In the summit, one of the questions I asked Chris was what would be the main points of a "State of the Markets" speech to DIY investors. Below is an excerpt from the interview and a summary of his response.

Chris's "State of the Markets..."

  • Markets are fully priced
  • Overall market cap is 1.25x of GDP
  • Markets historically don't do well at these levels
  • We also have a bursting bond bubble
  • Credit is tightening
  • What we "think we know" about stocks may be changing due to shifts in the bond market
  • This bull market will suck everyone in before it's done
  • A dramatic environment does not warrant a dramatic response
  • Be sure to always underpay
  • Look for individual situations where people are panicking and not paying attention
  • Would be in cash if there are no compelling ideas

J Mintzmyer is one of 25 Seeking Alpha Contributors participating in the 2017 DIY Investing Summit. In the summit, one of the questions I asked J was what his top advice would be for DIY investors. Below is an excerpt from the interview and a summary of his response.

J's top advice for DIY investors...

  • The more you invest, the more you realize you're fallible
  • Limit your allocations to speculative investments (no more than 20-30% of portfolio)
  • Don't let someone else dictate your style
  • Never invest money you think you'll need in 3-5 years
  • Try to limit your emotions as best as possible
  • Your investments should be based on fundamentals (ex: earnings? cash flow? etc) and should be a story you believe in
  • If the story changes, sell; don't try to hang around and get lucky
  • If price drops and fundamentals are intact, don't panic
  • Remember why you bought
