Key largo IRA portfolio - how to monitor in a vacation day?

March 30, 2020

Introduction


It is better to spend 15 - 30 minutes to review my key largo portfolio, and think about the problem.

Positions and balance


Problems to solve 


VOO price dropped to $210 when SPX was around 2300, but my lowest price of VOO purchase is around $260.00 dollars. I should make some purchase around $200.00 dollars. 

Based on coronavirus update, DOW may go down another 30%, so I should take the chance to purchase when VOO will be down 30%. 

Victoria TFSA portfolio - how to monitor it in a vacation day?

March 30, 2020

Introduction


I have to review my portfolio in case there is big swing today. Otherwise I just quickly review positions and then work on something more important. I will have two more vacation days to get myself education on coronavirus and prepare the work.

Positions and balance




My rebalancing review 


I did some VFV.TO and VDU.TO rebalance, so that I do not need to worry about too much.

Is the Stock Market About to Crash... Again?

Here is the link.

The last week in the stock market has been absolute insanity. On March 12th, the stock market officially entered a bear market. This happens when a major index like the Dow, S&P 500 or NASDAQ drops 20% from the high. After that the Dow kept sliding, to a close of $18,591.93 on Monday of last week. From the high close on February 12th of $29,551.42 the DOW was officially down 37%. Then, something unexpected happened. From Monday close to Thursday, the market rallied 21.3% the best 3 day rally since. On that note, the market officially exited bear market territory. This officially became the shortest bear market in history of just 11 trading days. On Friday, the market dropped 4% putting us back to 27% below the February high close. So, is the pain over? My guess is not… here’s why!

Book review: Investing the Templeton Way

Here is the article.

Templeton received his first lesson in value investing early. His father, Harvey Sr., was a lawyer. During the mid- to late 1920s, many farmers were driven into bankruptcy. Their farms would come up for auction in the town square opposite Harvey Sr.’s office. When the auctions failed to produce a bidder, he would step out and snap them up for a pittance.

These farms were sold a generation later at huge profits. From these events Templeton imbibed the lesson that the farms per se were no ..




He borrowed $10,000 and invested in 104 stocks, each trading at below $1. Of these, 37 were in bankruptcy. He wagered that the war would lead to a turnaround in the fortunes of even these weaklings.

Case study: How to purchase less than $1 a share on this market?

March 29, 2020


Introduction


It is hard for me to come out some creative ideas to invest, so I like to watch videos, read the article and then search some ideas. The most important part is to consider which ideas make sense, what I can do to apply? 



Case study: Templeton, 1939


Shortly after Templeton started his firm, investor pessimism surged. In 1939, World War II began with Germany's invasion of Poland and stocks around the world fell. In New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell almost 25% over five months. Sensing pessimism was at a maximum, Templeton bought $100 worth of stock in every company trading for less than $1 a share on the New York Stock Exchange. He purchased 104 companies for about $10,400. Four years later, his account balance topped $40,000 even though 34 companies had gone bankrupt. Templeton's investment generated an average annual return of 40% a year because he understood pessimism had created bargains.



There are risks associated with this strategy. Some of the companies trading under $1 a share will go bankrupt. In Templeton's case, about one-third of the stocks went bankrupt. The gains he enjoyed resulted from the fact that many of the companies will rebound and reward investors. An example from more recent times demonstrates the size of the potential gains. In March 2009, Citigroup (NYSE:C) fell under $1 a share and has gained nearly 400% since then.

Today, just 14 companies pass Templeton's test of trading below $1 a share on the NYSE. These are companies trading at the point of maximum pessimism.
To duplicate Templeton's strategy, buy all 14 and then wait. Templeton usually gave a stock up to six years to deliver results. If it hadn't moved up much after six years, he would sell.

Sir John Templeton - A value investor, Yale graduate

Sir John Templeton

To obtain specific advice we can follow, we can turn to Sir John Templeton, the great investor who advises us to "invest at the point of maximum pessimism."
Templeton was a noted value investor who began his career in 1936 with Fenner & Beane, one of the firms that would eventually become part of Merrill Lynch. Stocks were not popular investments in 1936, a time when the world was finally showing signs of recovering from the Great Depression. But Templeton was confident the market would recover and left Fenner & Beane to establish his own firm in 1937.
His confidence in the markets came from his time studying at Yale as an undergrad. Templeton had grown up poor, but many of his peers at the Ivy League school often came from wealthy families. Looking back at that time late in life, Templeton attributed his success in the markets to his observation that stock market investments funded the lifestyles of the wealthy students he met. He also thought of a way to outperform his peers:
"In Tennessee I didn't meet anybody who owned a share of anything. At Yale there were hundreds of boys from wealthy families, but not a single one who was investing outside one nation. I thought that was just not sensible. Surely they'd get better results if they searched everywhere rather than limiting their search to one country."
Templeton delivered large returns by applying his global investment strategy to international markets. As his firm grew in size, he turned his attention to mutual funds which offer economies of scale to investment managers. It can be less expensive to manage a mutual fund than it is to maintain thousands of individual accounts. His oldest fund, the Templeton Growth Fund, recorded an average annual gain of 13.8% while Sir John was involved in the operation from 1954 to 2004. The S&P 500 delivered an average annual return of 11.1% over that same time.

How to Pinpoint 'Maximum Pessimism'

Here is the article.

Few investment techniques offer better odds than buying world-leading companies when they are very out of favor. That is when they sell at the best entry points.
How, though, can investors know the "point of maximum pessimism" has likely been reached?
Typically, the shares will be making new 52-week or even multiyear absolute lows. Income-producing shares will have what Jim Cramer calls "accidental high yields." Their current yields become historically high simply because the stock price gets really low.
