When I first started investing in the late 1980's value investing was the thing, and my tendency toward that approach still remains. Buy It when it's cheap, when it's still got great fundamentals going forwards.
Last year for example $Citigroup(C)$ $American Express(AXP)$ $NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$ three no brainer buys for me, and are all up significantly. I am also a big fan of dividend stocks, and these three are all very good examples of great dividend stocks.
I hate the hype of Wall Street, to me to follow the commentary is like following a sheep. So I will not invest in companies like $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Too much absolute rubbish discussion. Fundamentally producing an electric car is NOT an environmentally friendly process, and if the car is powered by electricity produced by a coal or gas or diesel fired power plant... engage your brain please people.
Will I be upset if Tesla doubles in price over the next year... no, not at all. I'd rather invest in companies that have a solid track record, show solid growth potential, and give me nice and growing dividends
