The Wisdom of Blue-Chip Stocks: Howard Rosman’s Prudent Path to Wealth
Howard Rothman is the Chief Investment Analyst at Vision Investment Advisor (VIA), a well-known investment firm on Wall Street. Under his leadership, the "Blue Chip Growth Account," launched in 1997, achieved a cumulative return of 49.27% by 2001—more than double the performance of the S&P 500 index over the same period—and consistently outperformed the market each year.
As of December 2002, Rothman had become President of Vision Investment Advisor. He also served as Chairman and founding member of the National Introducing Brokers Association and was appointed to the Board of Directors of the National Futures Association (NFA) in 1990, serving three consecutive terms. He actively contributed to the NFA’s Legal and Compliance Committees, demonstrating his strong professional background and influential presence in the industry.
Rothman's core investment philosophy is to “buy right and hold tight” or “buy strong and hold long.” He emphasizes selecting financially sound companies with stable and growing earnings, purchasing them at the right price, and holding them patiently for the long term. Without frequent portfolio adjustments, investors can achieve strong long-term returns. This simple yet resolute investment approach reflects Rothman’s practical wisdom and provides a clear, historically validated foundation for the strategy tested in this study.
