I always like to hear from people who think outside the box and utilize different strategies than the typical balanced approach. For example, I find Rickson's strategy of concentrating almost entirely on solid balance sheets and investing almost entirely in one sector while for the most part ignoring big picture prognostications (eg. concern about currency differences, inflation, economic trends, industry trends, etc.) to be intriguing. (I think I've summed up his strategy, he can elaborate if I've misrepresented it.) I also heard on another forum a lady who planned to invest her entire portfolio (I believe of about $200,000) in 5 emerging market ETFs covering a range of countries from Israel to China. Her strategy was to leave the portfolio for about 25 years and emerge as a millionaire. Of course, she was mostly lambasted by other posters, but I found her strategy to be gusty and probably a reasonably good bet over that length of time.
So do any of you have what you consider to be a unique investing style that you could elaborate on? Or have you heard of unique investing styles that have intrigued you?
