The pain and agony of a "social misfit" and why value investing works

On Monday, i was invited to a gathering of private bankers at a club. It was a networking session for private bankers in general to get together and have a good time and it wasn’t just exclusive to private bankers , there were investment specialists and research analyst and a couple of investment bankers hanging out there too.The word that got around most was speculation of which financial companies were going to go next. Some were saying Fortis was going next. In fact half a year back, someone told me that Merril was next to go but Merril was eventually acquired by Bank of America. The general theme of talk among the bankers seem to be that of “fear” and a random poll by me as i spoke about buying stocks from a valuation perspective was scoffed at mostly. And if it wasn’t scoffed at, there were some who might agree with me but they will do so on the quiet, not echoing their views out loud….

Stevenson: It Never Pays to Panic

I thought Tom Stevenson had given up writing columns for the Daily Telegraph some time back to devote his energies to his day job. Perhaps he’s come back — he’s written several pieces recently — due to the market turmoils.And good thing he has. He talks sense. Wish we had more like him on this side of the pond.Stevenson’s l…

Market Hates Mosaic (MOS) - Phosphates Not Up to Snuff

Well, the market is not at all happy with Mosaic’s (MOS) results. When you take a step back and look at the big picture everything still looks fine, but the stock market is not about the big picture - only “beating estimates” and/or “raising guidance” - if you don’t; you are toast. Mosaic is now toast based on how people will treat it.The stock is now lower than it was a year ago, despite these metricsP…

Bookkeeping: Beginning Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRAA)

With my views on the economic drop being much deeper and longer than most I am beginning a stake in Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRAA) which is essentially a debt collection company - they buy debts gone bad from other companies for a cheap price and then try to collect more than they paid for. Sort of like what our government is going to do with $700B pretty soon. Much like our push into pawn shops, and highlighting of “low on the totem” pole retailers - these all play off the same theme. The reasons to own this name should be quite obvious if you read the blog for more than a week. This should be a growth industry in the coming few years. Last e…

Reuters: 1 in 5 Auto Dealers Could go Under by 2009

I said in late 2007 (when many were arguing there would be no recession and in fact everything was fine since the Federal Reserve had our back) that 2008 would be the worst year in 2 decades for auto sales. Ford’s numbers are out and they are staggering (down 34%) Yet another group of companies who promised “2nd half recovery” back in the spring.T…

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) - Acquisition and Secondary Offering

However, there was a bit less attention paid to the fact that the company issued an additional $10 billion dollars worth of stock in order to finance the transaction. Shares were offered to the public […]

Wells Fargo (WFC) Still Waiting for the Right Deal

Keep missing Wells Fargo (WFC) on dips; one of these days… it will be interesting to see whose assets they swoop up as the months go by and more banks fall by the wayside. The “state” will surely decide Wells will be one of the ultimate winners. I feel like I am writing this from Moscow…Wells Fargo & Co (WFC) …

Income Portfolio quarterly results

Another calender quarter is behind us and it was one of the ugliest in my memory as far as stock investing goes. The market showed tremendous fluctuations with record daily gains and losses, but finished the quarter down significantly with the S&P500 down over 12% for the 3 months and the NASDAQ off almost 10%.
During the quarter I changed my Income Portfolio to an online actively managed system. I started the portfolio for the 2nd quarter of 2008 with equal dollar weighted positions in the stocks I had chosen for the portfolio. For the just departed 3rd quarter I started with the same equal dollar weighting and a portfolio value of $20,000. My new tracking system allowed the inclusion of commissions and a cash position. I opened the new portfolio on July 1 fully invested in 10 (10% each) stocks with a $4.95 T…

Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide

Obviously “the market” has been terrible. But just how terrible and just how widespread is shown below via CNBC. Effectively, there has been nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. It’s just been a matter of losing less than the other. I saw on CNBC Monday evening that this will be the fourth straight down quarter for the Dow Jones Industrial Average which would be the longest string since 1978. Quite amazing considering the bear markets of early 90s and early 00s….

What Did Warren Do?

On Tuesday, Mr. Buffett says, he was sitting with his feet on his desk in Omaha, drinking a Cherry Coke and munching on mixed nuts, when he got an unusually candid call from a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. investment banker. Tell us what kind of investment you’d consider making in Goldman, the banker urged him, and the firm would try to hammer out a deal…—The Wall Street Journal, September 25, 2008…
