Here’s a recent question, and answer, from an Inner Circle member; it’s one that we feel bears repeating. The question, and answer, also addresses key issues about successful investing today—or in any market:
Q: Within the five economic sectors you advise for investing, should we also spread out our funds over some percentage of value, growth and small stocks?
A: If you take account of your own financial and personal circumstances and temperament, and if you invest as we advise (diversifying across most if not all of the five main economic sectors, while confining your investments mainly to well-established companies), you will almost automatically buy some growth stocks and some value stocks; you will also near automatically buy some small-company stocks and some big-company stocks.

In any event, it’s impossible to come up with a one-size-fits-all answer when talking about the best balance among value stocks, more aggressive small stocks and growth stocks (some of which can fall into more than one category)....
