I developed my investment strategy in order to outperform the market for both myself and my institutional clients, but active portfolio management is not for everyone. The truth is that the great majority of the public do not have the tools or the background and are better off either indexing or holding a diversified portfolio of excellent companies. This article will discuss a list of potential excellent companies that less active (than myself) investors can consider. Potential entry prices are calculated and a spreadsheet is attached for readers to use.
