Hot Stock Tips - What to be Wary About
By Tony DiSorbo
Owner, DAS Associates
Call it an occupational hazard but at some point at any social engagement
I am asked “So what are the hot stocks?”
I don’t give hot stock tips because, as a practicing financial professional
committed to long-term financial solutions, I don’t believe they really
exist. I believe information that is distributed through dinner parties or
on fairways falls into one of three categories:
Inside information which if acted upon could result in fines, jail time
or both for the investor as well as the financial professional.
Rumors which if true and acted upon could later be construed as
inside information or if false could net a loss or be construed as market
manipulation—either way you lose.
Public information which, by the time you hear it, has lost its value.
Today’s technology gives public information complete instantaneous
distribution. This virtually eliminates the time lag between the release of
the information and the adjustment to the price of the security. It’s called
the Efficient Market theory. And although it has been around for many,
many years, today’s speed of communications make it more fact than
theory.
So where’s a good place to put your money? Invest rather than speculate.
Have your financial professional recommend a good portfolio manager
who can help you meet your objectives. There are no shortages of quality
managers out there. Most employ teams of researchers who study data, do
site visits and are on the inside of the circle of information.
Home grown research and speculation may pay off from time to time but
for my money and my clients’ money I want a full-time professional.
