Volatility Returns

February 28, 2018

February 2018 Client Letter

It’s wise to remember that investing in the stock market is not a strategy guaranteed to make you wealthy. In fact, the stock market at times can decrease your wealth. Twice over the last 19 years, once between 2000 and 2002 and again from 2007 to 2009, the stock market declined by more than 50%.

Do You Have an Investment Game Plan?

January 31, 2018

January 2018 Client Letter

History has a way of repeating itself. In early 1995 my dad wrote about a math professor named Tom Nicely, who worked at Lynchburg College. Nicely was examining prime numbers using a group of five personal computers. While four of the computers gave Nicely the correct answer to a problem, 1.2126596294086, the fifth turned up a slightly different answer, 1.212659624891157804.

What to Expect from Stocks

December 2017 Client Letter

One of 2017’s surprising outcomes was the lack of stock market volatility. We are in the midst of the second-longest bull market on record and we haven’t seen as much as a 3% correction in the S&P 500 in over a year. That’s a record.

Ben Graham’s Dividend Test for the Defensive Investor

November 27, 2017

November 2017 Client Letter

From September 1985 through September 2017, my dad spent each and every month diligently researching, preparing, and writing his monthly investment newsletter, The Intelligence Report (IR).

Readers of IR are aware of the high regard my dad has for Ben Graham, the father of value investing and one of the most successful investors of all time. My dad believes Graham authored the only investment book most investors will ever need. “If you have read The Intelligent Investor cover to cover, you are head and shoulders above the vast majority of the investing public. To this day, the amount of investing insight and wisdom packed into this single volume remains unmatched.” Some of Graham’s most valuable advice was to the defensive investor. For example, Graham wrote, “One of the most persuasive tests of high quality is an uninterrupted record of dividend payments for the last 20 years or more. Indeed, the defensive investor might be justified in limiting his purchases to those meeting this test.”

Navigating a High Priced Market with Solid Economic Growth

November 3, 2017

October 2017 Client Letter

Today we have what appears to be a supportive environment for the stock market. Economic growth, both in the U.S. and globally, has picked up. For the first time since 2014, GDP growth has accelerated to more than 3% for two consecutive quarters. The global liquidity environment remains robust, with the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan still pumping money into the global financial system. Long-term interest rates remain low by historical standards. Business and consumer sentiment are at highs not seen in years, and corporate profits are rising at a rapid clip, with the prospect of an added boost coming from lower tax rates in 2018.
