The severity. What was to be a U.S. credit crisis turned out to be one that was shared by economies globally. There absolutely no place to hide—no geographic region or asset class. was Stay away from nationalization. If it appears that government may want to limit systematic risk, don’t hang out in the equity. Head for the exits quickly. No. In fact, just the opposite. We are all the more convinced that our bottom-up, active, value approach is effective, especially in one particular area, financial strength. We’ve been advocates of companies with superior financial strength since the early 1990s, and it has paid off in the last year. We’re looking at areas that could potentially be impaired, such as goodwill, so we want to make sure that companies that have been acquisitive in the last four years of our wonderful credit bubble don’t find themselves needing to write down that goodwill.

Somebody might want to read A writer, because so many fascinating events happen to me. I about them someday. Green tea, without any doubt. MorningstarAdvisor.com 15
