Welcome to Episode #279 of the Value Investor Podcast.
Every week, Tracey Ryniec, the editor of Zacks Value Investor portfolio, shares some of her top value investing tips and stock picks.
This week, the New York Times featured an obituary on investing legend Geraldine Weiss. She died at age 96 in California.
According to the obituary, which Weiss gave an interview for in March, she started the Investment Quality Trends newsletter in 1966, and retired from editing it in 2002 at age 76.
It’s focus was on dividends because, she said in the obituary, dividends represent the here and now. She became known as the “grande dame of dividends.”
Her strategy combined both fundamental and technical analysis, which was rare for that time period.
