19.01.2022 Dire predictions of impending economic doom from RBS and Socit Gnrale. A more balanced view offered by Stephen Koukoulas, MD of Market Economics. It appears that Roberts and Edwards are always pessimistic on markets and the economy having forecast global depression and ongoing stock markets falls. They are the so-called perma-bears who scour the data for information that supports their view. This, of course, means that when the business cycle inevitably has a downturn,... they look like geniuses, heroes and insightful gurus. They should also be held account for their views when economic growth is sustained and asset prices rise. Read more: http://www.afr.com//why-im-betting-10000-that-the-rbs-uber

17.01.2022 The Cinderella Syndrome - Clocks without hands. This Warren Buffet quote provides a sober message worth noting at a time when markets are at exuberant highs. "The line separating investment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further when most market participants have recently enjoyed triumphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavio...ur akin to that of Cinderella at the ball. They know that overstaying the festivities that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice. But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. Theres a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands." See more

16.01.2022 Investment markets have reacted this week to the escalating trade war between China and the United States. With some geo-political uncertainty around the world and some challenging economic conditions in Australia, some are suggesting that investors may be in for a bumpy ride in the year ahead. Its important to remember that equity markets have recently reached record highs and, despite the volatility of the last few days, remain in a very strong position. As always, the best defense against market volatility is a measured, disciplined approach. Panic selling can lead to long-term losses and erosion of wealth. With that in mind, here are Condell Financials 6 reasons to keep a cool head in a market downturn. http://www.condellfinancial.com/blog.php?poid=133

05.01.2022 Greece An extract from 3 Minutes with Blackrock BlackRock strategists and portfolio managers met to discuss the fast-moving events in Greece as the IMF debt repayment deadline approached and ahead of the 5 July referendum that is essentially a vote on whether Greece remains in the Eurozone or gives up the common currency. Broad implications: Greece represents just 0.3% of global GDP less than that of Peru or Romania, by our analysis.... Fixed-income markets: Most of the exposure is with the official lenders. The bigger risk for global bond markets would be from spillover effects into the so-called periphery markets of Spain, Italy and Portugal. Equities: For equity investors in Greece it is very difficult, but for stocks outside of Greece it is largely about sentiment. Indexes: The very small exposure of Greece in most indexes accounting for 30 basis points or less means the removal of the country from indexes would be a headache but manageable and unlikely to result in any material tracking errors for asset managers

04.01.2022 Whats the difference between an Investor and a Speculator. Warren Buffett neatly summarised the difference between investing and speculation when he said: Investment is an activity of forecasting the yield on assets over the life of the asset. Speculation is the activity of forecasting the psychology of the market." Mark Twain waxed on the dangers of speculation when he said: There are two times in a mans life when he should not speculate; when he cant afford it, an...d when he can. Quoted from Hamish Douglas in the Magellan Annual Investor Report 2015. Also from the annual report:- The attributes of successful investors:- 1.Incorporate a margin of safety 2.Invest within your circle of competence 3.Be prepared to walk away 4.Do not overly diversify 5.Focus on the batting average 6.Have a medium term investment horizon 7.Think in terms of probabilities and not in single point estimates 8.Challenge your own ideas (invert the problem) 9.Do the analysis and think independently 10.Investment temperament (controlling your biases) 11.Understand opportunity cost Read the full report at http://www.magellangroup.com.au//magellan-global-fund-ann/
