Expert advice to fund managers: Protect clients' savings - Buy oil stocks

Bull marketeer draws in his horns
Financial Mail, London, October 4
By IAN KING

GREG Smith, the analyst famous for identifying the start of the world stock market bull run in 1985, has given London-based fund managers his survival tips for the coming recession.

Smith, chief investment strategist at US securities giant Pru-Bache, said he believed that two or three more hedge funds were in similar difficulties to Long Term Capital Management, which was rescued with debts of £60 billion in an operation organised by the US Federal Reserve.

Smith told the 150-strong audience that to protect clients' savings they should:

Buy oil stocks. Battered by falling prices, they should be helped by the hard winter that usually follows El Nino.

Beware 'safe havens' - drug stocks are no longer good value. Buy computer stocks. Companies will continue to invest in technology despite a recession.
Be careful when investing in banking stocks.

He added: 'When all the world is mesmerised by bad news, what better time to get in and buy some individual companies?'
