This article was written byJetstream Research7 FollowersFollowWelcome to Jetstream Research! I am an individual investor managing a personal portfolio with the goal of achieving a 15 percent or greater CAGR over the long-term. My investment approach focuses on fundamental research into companies that have sustainable growth and competitive advantages. I tend to hold no more than 10 positions at a time, with the intent to hold each position for years. I only sell when fundamentals deteriorate, valuations become egregious, or when I need to raise cash for a significantly better opportunity. I currently work in the aviation industry, which tends to have very long and irregular working hours! Because of this, I favor an investment approach that does not require a lot of meddling with the portfolio. I try to limit any trimming of positions, trading, etc, in favor of buying and holding a basket of high-quality companies that can compound cash-flows over many years. My research reflects this long-term view, rather than attempting to predict short-term price action.Analyst’s Disclosure: I/we have a beneficial long position in the shares of NOW either through stock ownership, options, or other derivatives.
