Douglas Hughes is the Senior Editor of the Small Bank Newsletter (BankNewsletter.com). He also manages money for individual investors and companies. Douglas Hughes studied Finance and Economics at Pace University in New York. He specializes in community and regional bank stocks, and has been investing in the small bank sector for over 20 years.

Douglas Hughes' approach is based on the search for undervalued securities to invest in, while managing risk, to produce superior gains over the market averages. He looks for businesses whose financials can be easily understood, and whose stock he can buy at bargain prices. His views and recommendations have been quoted by many financial publications.

Small Bank Newsletter subscribers receive monthly buy/sell/hold recommendations for primarily small banks, who usually pay 1-4% dividends. These stocks are not widely followed by Wall Street and have limited downside risk. Their average hold time is 3-5 years. Each month, Hughes Investments speak to the management in over 100 banks, and find the best values for the greatest returns.

Small Bank Newsletter is published 12 times a year. Subscribers may also call Douglas Hughes with any questions on any stock.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
