“Much Rather Have 10 Michael Jordans…..”- Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Simplifies His Effective Investment Strategy

The markets may be volatile, but former Yankees hitter, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez seems to have gotten their beat down. In his new avatar as an investor through his organization at the A-Rod Corporation, Rodriguez seems to have made some solid new investments. So much so that he has even appeared in the media to speak about investment strategy.

The former Yankee has expanded his enterprise to include various verticals including, private equity, venture capital, and even sports team ownership. However, A-Rod really seemed to contribute to his fanbase when he spoke about a new investment strategy and his thinking.

A-Rod, in his second coming, has taken the avatar of a businessman and he is raking it in. Under his initial A-Rod Corp., which dealt with real estate investments, he has now expanded into private equity, venture capital, and even a SPAC. This of course is separate from his newest interest in sports ownership; having bought a stake in the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Minnesota Lynx in the NBA and WNBA, respectively.

A-Rod has really taken to his new life with gusto, and it is but natural that people will want recipes for his secret sauce. In a media interaction recently, A-Rod revealed an inside look at his strategy and how it really did well for him. And here’s what he had to say.

Alex Rodriguez speaks about his investment strategy

A-Rod recently opened up about his investment strategy which is probably a large part of his success in his newest avatar. Speaking to a podcast host, he spoke about a variety of concepts ranging from optimization of investments to diversification. To ensure maximum gains, Rodriguez spoke in relative detail about how he operated to ensure maximum results.

A-Rod recently spoke about his strategy of investment and that included his basic belief. The market is unpredictable in its most basic form. And Rodriguez knows that too, stating that there was no way anyone could predict what was going to happen in the market in the next 6 months or even the next 6 hours. Said A-Rod, “So I think of investment as a long-term proposition.”

A-Rod speaks about his own strategy

“Think of it as owning a small part of a big company that is going to be around and has growth over the next 5, 10, 20 years,” added A-Rod. Adding more to his advice that he possibly would like to set out, A-Rod spoke about diversification.

A-Rod said, “I would think about investing in sweaters and tank tank tops.” Effectively means that if you’re going to invest make sure you’re prepared for both products to do well. “If it’s cold in Buffalo, your sweaters do really well and if it’s hot in Miami your tank tops do really well,” said A-Rod, simplifying it a bit.

Adding his third and final tip about his practices, A-Rod spoke about optimization. Said A-Rod “think about having 5-10 great companies versus having 100 average companies.” It’s better to concentrate your efforts on analyzing your specific companies; on making sure that the due diligence and analysis on them is accurate. “I’d much rather have 10 Michael Jordans than a 100 average players”, he added.

A-Rod is certainly doing well for himself, and perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to get a few inputs about how he does it.
