What makes a good stock pick a great one? Well, from a Global Macro Risk Management perspective, we review the basic concept of fishing where the fish are, identifying things like:
- GIP Model (Growth, Inflation, Policy) – is growth/inflation accelerating/decelerating in the country you’re picking in
- Asset Allocations & Sub Sector Exposures – once you have growth and inflation right within the country, do you have these right?
- Style Factors – Leverage, Beta, Short Interest, SIZE, Growth, Value, Yield, etc. – what is trending bullish/bearish?
Then, of course, if you want to be Spartan in your stock picking you should probably have an opinion on market-timing too...
