Filosofie in eigen woorden
Koop de sterkste aandelen in de sterkste sectoren op het juiste moment. Risicobeheer is belangrijker dan gelijk hebben.
Aanpak & methode
SEPA-methode die fundamentele catalysatoren combineert met technische patronen. Focus op aandelen met relatieve sterkte in Stage 2 opwaartse trends. Strakke stops (3-8% max verlies). Laat winnaars lopen 100-300%+.
Belangrijkste strategieën
