The Stingy News Weekly (12/11/2018)


"A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have."
- Thomas Jefferson


Stingy News Flash

You might have heard that MoneySense was recently purchased by mortgage broker Ratehub Inc. I hope the magazine prospers under the new owner and the experience proves to be a good one for everyone involved.

While I've decided to discontinue my work for the magazine, I expect to continue on elsewhere. For instance, I expect that Canadian Business will soon publish an updated version of the Top 200 and Top 500. Stay Tuned.

Zombie stocks on the TSX
"The accompanying chart presents the picture. It highlights the returns of the S&P/TSX Composite Index, which generated compound annual returns of 6.8 per cent from the end of 1996 to the end of November, 2018. The second line shows the trajectory of what I.ll call the zombie portfolio, which contains stocks with negative EBITDAs. It lost an average of 4.4 per cent annually over the same period. Each dollar invested in the zombie portfolio decayed to just 38 cents whereas each dollar invested in the index grew to $4.26." [$]

Humans love a narrative
"What that means is that if you can eliminate companies with really bad balance sheets or really poor quality businesses, or that are trading at crazy expensive multiples, then you can gain a lot versus the broad market as opposed to simply buying the absolute best balance sheets or the companies with the highest returns on capital."

Wrong, random, or worse
"Every year, the prognosticators come out of hiding. You have to wonder why they bother, given their record."

The economy killed millennials
"When researchers compared the spending habits of Millennials with those of young people from past years, such as the Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, they concluded that 'Millennials do not appear to have preferences for consumption that differ significantly from those of earlier generations.' They also found that 'Millennials are less well off than members of earlier generations when they were young, with lower earnings, fewer assets, and less wealth.' Millennials aren't doing in the economy. It's the economy that's doing in Millennials."
[Economics]

Risk and reward in public sector pensions
"This paper questions whether Canada's public sector pension plans have discovered a formula that makes them a model for the world to emulate. The exceptional feature of Canada's public sector DB plans is not 'world-beating' investment strategies or good governance. It is the ability to enrich public employees by shifting large, undisclosed investment risks to taxpayers without fair compensation. By our estimate, this provides an unacknowledged $22 billion annual subsidy to Canada's public sector DB plans and, ultimately, to the members of these plans. This large public subsidy, not the virtues of the Canadian Pension Model, explains the plans. success. Without it, public sector DB plans would be no more viable than private sector DB plans."
