ring to the market capitalization of a particular corporation number of shares authorized times the price per share as opposed to debt financing we have for the first time in decades the opportunity to invest carefully in large multi national companies that do business in usa and overseas that are traditionally viewed as a growth style investment that are now paying very high dividend yields of dividend relative to the current price per share the combined opportunity to received 1 5 dividend yield up to 6 on dow and other companies plus the opportunity to grow the price by more than 10 is highly unusual most investments either offer stable or valued income with very modest growth such as a phone company stock or public utility the danger of investing in or chasing yield is that a corporation s board of directors and management can reduce or eliminate their common stock dividend in times of cash shortages that is why we must analyze the balance sheet and income statements of each company that we may consider investing our hard earned money with what are the major investment styles growth where investors seek companies and industries with a strong growth trend in sales and earnings growth is defined as beating the growth of the economy or gdp these types of investments have typically much higher p e ratios and pay little if any dividend these stocks generally have a much higher volatility relative to the market and have little tolerance for earnings disappointments value investing is essentially bargain hunting buy great performing stocks that have had significant sell off of late and as a result major decreases in current prices the price of the stock is trading at a closer relation to its book value than normal here one must buy into these positions early on in order to reap the benefits of price appreciation as the price returns to normal price ranges income investing in stocks and bonds that pay higher dividends interest than other investment alternatives the objective here is typically current income with no emphasis on growth or price appreciation wealth preservation the objective here is to maintain the accumulated wealth of one s estate through a more conservative approach these types of portfolios tend to be weighted more towards fixes income with a percentage of equity stocks that have a low beta and even lower volatility of course these equities have very low price appreciation stocks in this category are typically public utilities such as in the electric generation and phone company stocks these stocks tend to distribute the majority of their earnings in excess of capital requirements in the form of higher dividend yields interest rates these portfolios also have a higher weight of treasury bonds etc momentum investing investment managers in this style look for trends in companies that have a higher rate of earnings appreciation for a short period of time timing is critical here and very hard to buy at the absolute low and sell at the absolute high this style has a much higher risk to significant loss than other styles contrarian investment managers in this style usually are investing when the average investor is selling or staying away here the time horizon is much longer typically more than 10 years essentially when the average investor is buying selling these managers are selling buying blended or balanced approach is just that a portfolio that has a mix of equity and fixed income and growth income stocks market capitalization also known as market cap is a measure of the size of equity capitalization employed in the financing of the entity market cap is determined by the number of shares outstanding common shares times the current price currently the largest market cap of any corporation publicly traded is exxon mobile with a market cap exceeding 515 billion there are three categories of capitalization large mid and small large cap stocks typically have long histories of solid performance in both earnings and price appreciation whereas mid and small cap companies have a shorter track record of both earnings and price performance these two categories also are typically higher beta risk and more volatile than their large cap cousins types of investors conservative these investors typically cannot tolerate volatility in their portfolio they will be weighted more towards fixed income with very low risk equity positions utilities etc moderate they like higher returns than pure fixed income but are not very adventurous most investors fall into this category normal weighting here would be 40 fixed 50 equity and the remainder in cash money markets these portfolios will be well balanced with more than 30 individual positions aggressive these investors seek to beat the market averages have a shorter time frame and definitely have the ability psychologically and financially to absorb deep losses in their portfolios these portfolios typically have a high concentration of in one or two sectors with very few individual security positions much higher rate of gains and losses example of a growth value investment cisco systems nyse csco is a djia component and normally pays a very low dividend as a percent of its common share price csco also has a p e ratio prices earnings per share much higher than a value or income oriented investment as of 09 02 2011 csco s pe was 10 based upon 2012 eps estimates the current yield is 1 6 which is unheard of for a growth company the ten year us treasury is yielding barely 2 with zero growth potential and a substantial risk to rising interest rates which would erode the current bond price additionally there is virtually no risk of csco abandoning or reducing its dividend as they are currently holding more than 44 billion in cash the only way to determine which style of investing that is appropriate for you is to know these few basics what is your risk tolerance many small business owners when asked to assess their risk tolerance related to investing in the stock market they often describe themselves as being conservative however in reality the small business owner has a high percentage of their total wealth is concentrated in only one sector and one company their own that makes them very aggressive investors a wise adviser will point this fact out rather bluntly the overwhelming majority of advisers and investors never discuss this very important aspect of investing an adviser investor must measure their return relative ro the exposed risk of loss risk adjusted returns are normally substantially lower than the pure math of gain loss typically measured what is your time horizon time horizon refers to the actual time you have to invest before you retire or make regular monthly demands on these funds short time horizon you should be heavily invested in fixed income and near cash assets as you do not have the necessary time to rebuild these funds should a market correction wreck your plans for retirement maturity risk is similar to time horizon but relates directly to fixed income a bond that has a longer maturity date time where the bond is fully paid off by borrower has a higher risk of non payment of interest or of default objectives goals why are you investing these funds retirement vacation planning education etc this question is almost never asked and is very important before we can recommend any investment no matter how attractive we believe it to be we must have a serious and lengthy conversation we can be reached at www thomascapitalmgt com

crisis posted on september 12 2011 by thomascapital5274 we now know that the banking and debt crisis in the european union is here to stay and it has placed a black cloud over the world wide market the cause is simple and one that the american left refuses to acknowledge decades of socialism that has created massive entitlement programs for their peoples especially amongst their immigration classes that have virtually no credible job skills other than manual labor yes they too have a significant legal illegal immigration problem and these people demand even more after decades of entrenched socialism that permeates their entire economy coupled with the highest tax rates in the world the eu 1 is created a massive underground economy proponents of the fair tax in usa believe the underground economy can be taxed with their approach of taxing all consumption the eu s massive underground economy proves that theorem wrong again the underground economy throughout the over taxed eu rivals the legitimate economy and pays virtually no income tax the heavy burden of the central authority has created significant incentives to break the law and simply violates the laffer curve the underlying financial problem is simple european banks are heavily exposed to bad debt of greece and portugal and italy to a lesser extent these major banks such as societe general credit agricole sa and bnp paribas have more than 55 billion usd exposure to greece alone these banks are going to need significant cash infusion from the ecb 2 will germany france and the uk be willing to go along with more bailouts the last round of bailouts to greece with the massive imf 3 intervention cost more than 145 billion usd the usa owns about 17 09 of the imf therefore the american tax payer was forced to pay out more than 24 7805 billion to bailout greece due to its failed socialist policies remember much of the eu lambastes america for our economic problems and always blames our greedy system of capitalism as the root cause of their problems the real objective of greece bailouts is not the saving of the nation itself but the private banks that lent so much money to greece that is the target of the bailouts if greece defaults these banks will be decimated and this failure will effect america and our banks directly as we have lent billions and guaranteed countless billions more from the federal reserve what are the eu citizens reactions to the current wave of austerity programs launched by the uk germany france and elsewhere riots yes the entitled class of citizens and non citizens burn cars and kills policemen and burn down whole city blocks doing billions in property damages who pays that tab the eu taxpayer where did this all begin with european and american banks being forced by government regulations and policy to make loans to entities and individuals that did not qualify under normal lending practices iceland whose major driving force of their gdp is fishing was invaded by bankers from the uk and netherlands who were flush with cash due to the federal reserves super low interest rates soon iceland s banking sector s input as percentage of gdp more than doubled in short order these banks began lending money to anyone in iceland that had a pulse creating a huge boom in real estate both commercial and residential alas 2006 came and the ponzi scheme was revealed devastating iceland s economy iceland s three largest banks kaupting bank glitnin bank and landsbanki had total debt exceeding 160 billion more than 10 times their national gdp iceland s solution was to not guarantee the bonds of those and other banks however the uk and made a deal with iceland s government to provide them aid providing that the loans were guaranteed by each citizen of iceland uk and the dutch banks brought hard currency aid to iceland but they received guarantees directly from each citizen essentially there are 320 000 citizens and they will be paying 135 per month per person for 8 years so iceland allowed its major banks to fail and then received direct aid from the uk and dutch banks taxpayers can this be greece s answer if so how will it affect the global financial markets and will that outline the end of the eu and the euro most likely the effects on the markets will be sharp and painful but not long lasting since estonia adopted the flat tax in 1994 22 13 nations have followed suit including many former soviet bloc nations including russia herself since then these nations have experience solid economic growth and reduced overall public debt for example russia s debt to gdp is a mere 9 5 while usa is 95 debt to gdp is the flat tax the cure all perhaps not but it must be seriously studied as a method to replace the internal revenue code 4 the irc has more than 9 833 sections and is more than 90 000 pages what america needs and the eu members need is a well defined central government that is both limited in size and scope of power so the private sector can perform its function of wealth creation production and jobs which will generate sufficient and stable revenue for the government to perform its duties 1 european union 2 european central bank 3 international monetary fund 4 irc is title 26 united states code 0 000000 0 000000 posted in uncategorized leave a comment my first blog posted on september 3 2011 by
