Mark Holder on Fox Business: Don’t follow the herd

by Michael Tarsala

Mark Holder, manager of the three Covestor model including Net Payout Yields, tells Fox Business about one of the most common mistakes made by new investors:

“Following the herd tends to get [first-time investors] into the hot stock or mutual fund at the top,” he tells the network. “They’ll end up panicking out of a stock during weakness because they don’t understand the investment thesis.”

To the contrary, Holder believes that the best market opportunities come from some of the least-followed and least-appreciated ideas.

That’s one of the things he looks for in the Net Payout Yield model, in addition to stocks with a target dividend yield of 2 to 3%, and a net payout yield target of 8%.
