Our investment strategy is to purchase and hold stocks of American companies that best reflect the time honored values upon which our country was founded. *

*We have found, as a general rule, companies reflecting these values do well over the long term. Although confident we have a sound long-term investment strategy, there are goals we consider more important than financial performance. Supporting and encouraging public companies that strive to abide by strong ethical and moral values is a practical way to positively influence the marketplace and our culture.

A four year track record of our American Hero Portfolios is included in the investment commentary portion of our current newsletter in the libary section of this website. Past performance is no assurance of future results.

Patriotic Investing
By Carter LeCraw, CEO

       With Independence Day right around the corner, it seems appropriate to think about ways we, as average citizens, can help the country we love. Buying American products, voting in local and national elections, paying our fair share of taxes, contributing to local charities, serving in the military, or maybe just flying Old Glory in the front yard are a just few of the many ways we can support America.
        What about personal investing? Is it practical or even possible to use investments to support America? Would it be possible, for example, to apply John F. Kennedy's famous line investing decisions and therefore "ask what our investments can do for our country"?
        If the Founding Fathers are any kind of example (more on that later), there are ways for the average investor to contribute to a stronger America. This article will focus on:
      1. why Patriotic Investing is important
      2. how it can be implemented
      3. what level of financial returns can        be expected

The historic glory of America lies in the fact that it is the one nation that was founded like a church. That is, it was founded on a faith that was not merely summed up after it had existed; it was defined before it existed.
