The Stingy News Weekly (04/15/2012)


"It is hard to make predictions, especially about the future."
- Yogi Berra

Howard Marks at NYSSA
"Howard Marks, legendary investor and Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, spoke at New York Society of Securities Analysts. He is also the author of the book, “The Most Important Thing: Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor.” Distressed Debt Investing was in attendance as he presented his views on the topic of “Human Side of Investing.”"


Lessons learned in the wealth management
"The investment industry has the attention span of a 4-year-old. Two of its key drivers – compensation (fees and commissions) and past performance (what’s done well recently) – lead to changing strategies and a steady stream of new products. Unfortunately, this hyperactivity kindles clients’ psychological need to take action (especially males). It makes a “stay the course” strategy, which is often the best option, difficult to maintain."


Richard Koo presentation
"His new presentation looks at the current state of the global economy, what's been tried to jump start things, what's worked, and what hasn't."


New funds, old flaws
"But you shouldn't confuse ETFs with a newer mutation called 'exchange-traded notes,' or ETNs. These instruments, 284 at last count, have gathered $133 billion in assets, nearly all in the past three years by comparison, 1,154 ETFs hold $1.1 trillion in total assets. The ETNs often track currencies, commodities and other assets rarely held by traditional ETFs—and can surprise unwary investors with high costs, quirky taxation and prices that may wander far from their asset value."


Leucadia Letter
"A world-wide recovery in the near future is not a foregone conclusion. Europe and the future of the Euro are far from settled. Growth in China is slowing and the risk of a “Chinese Spring” cannot be ruled out. Iran is a big problem. In an environment of slow growth at home and a dysfunctional government, we believe that less financial leverage is better. We expect many other companies and investors share this view. We emphasize that we are not pessimistic, just cautious."


'Fortune 500' of 1812
"Fortune magazine began publishing annual rankings of U.S. corporations by revenue in 1955. Ever since, scholars and forecasters have analyzed changes in the Fortune 500 to help inform their judgments about industry concentration and the relative importance of different sectors of the economy. Historians would love to have snapshots of the nation’s largest corporations at earlier dates. Unfortunately data are scarce, especially before the Civil War. Based on our research, however, it is now possible to create a sort of historical 'Fortune 500' ranked by corporate capitalization -- the total sum stockholders were supposed to pay for their shares."
