In this exclusive 3,033 word interview in the Wall Street Transcript, Mr. Schreiber details his investing philosophy and creates a case for his current bias towards the dividend-paying stocks:
“When the markets are more favorable, we look to buy high-quality stocks that pay a dividend. Historically, about half of the return of markets, and what markets have given investors, comes from the dividend. So we think that’s a pretty sound investment strategy: buy low, sell high, collect the dividend and manage the risk to owning each position every single day. If we can limit losses to a reasonable level, then it can be easy to get back to even and make money again.”
The competitve nature of technology will limit gains in the near term, according to Matt Scheiber:
“Consumer staples have gotten beat up this year. People are going to have to eat if this market gets tougher. There are a number of consumer-staple-oriented names that could be very good. Certain aspects of technology will continue to do very well, but your headline movers are — it’s your Facebooks (NASDAQ:FB), your Amazons (NASDAQ:AMZN), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) — all are going to face stiffer competition in the years to come. So the big tech craze may be over here, and you may see a rotation from growth to value, so again, I would look at names that pay a pretty juicy dividend.”
