Emotions are the enemy to outsized returns when investing. We all have heard the Buy Fear – Sell Greed mantra. Intellectually we know this. Emotions get triggered as the value of our account rises & falls and headlines are shouting at us how much better or worse it will get. Continue reading

LOTM: Market Thoughts at a Point of Uncertainty and Change

Personally, I have a 45 years of experience in the markets. I have more than a base knowledge of the markets, but I also consume and consolidate three to five hours of daily financial views & opinions in all forms, six and most of the time, seven days a week. Those of you with a life, don’t have the time to consume this much information. One of your benefits to reading LOTM, is the consolidation of news and more importantly “forward looking” opinion flow.

LOTM: Lots to say – very little fear – Think we are right where we want to be.

That pretty much sums up our emotions today.
As to positioning in managed accounts, we have a blend of,

  1. Precious metal mining companies and commodity exposure for value and harmony with the current trend towards commodities and hard assets.
  2. Blockchain/Crypto for growth in the fastest growing industry on the planet.
  3. Bottoming fishing in Payments Software (FINTECH) industry. This is a very dynamic and rapid changing sector that is currently out of favor. We believe we can dollar-cost-average through the bottoming process to excellent returns in the future.
  4. We hold some high dividend stocks like AM/SLNHP/SBSW/CRT – For cash flow and potential sources of investment funds in the future.

Three Income Ideas for a Defensive Stock Market Perspective

2021 is and has been a volatile and challenging year.

  • Grow stocks  (risk on trades) peaked in February and March  and then as money rotated to value stocks (risk off trades), prices collapsed.
  • Commodities drew money as Inflation became a mantra.
  • Now we are hearing a changing narrative that Inflation will become deflation as demographics (aging baby boomers) and the fall in purchasing power of the US-dollar slows the economy.
