Listen on: iTunes | Google Podcasts | Online I was finally able to do something I have tried to do but could not for ten years! We have built a dividend portfolio that’s “all-terrain” and that yields … well, you’ll have to read to the end to find out. I am both psyched and nervous. Psyched because I think this […]
This is an excerpt from letter I wrote to IMA‘s clients. Our thinking about coronavirus has evolved significantly over the last few weeks. Our initial optimism that it would send us into a mild recession was proven wrong by our government’s inept response – the extra time that we were given was wasted. South Korea […]
I recently spoke with Andrew Horowitz at “The Disciplined Investor” podcast. He graciously allowed me to share my part of the interview with you here. We discussed this recession and why it’s not like any other previous one we’ve experienced. We also talked about why, from an investment perspective, it’s one of the best things […]
With stock prices sinking fast, a client emailed me saying, “Your move, boss.” So here is our move: Especially in this coronavirus crash, we continue to seek out what we always look for globally — high-quality businesses that we can buy at a significant discount to fair value.

Listen on: iTunes | Google Podcasts | Online Excerpted from the IMA fourth quarter 2019 letter to clients. The stock market marched higher for the year even though US companies as a whole did not become more valuable, just more expensive, as earnings failed to grow from 2018 to 2019. Earnings are estimated to be up about 5% for 2020 […]
My business is to constantly look for new stocks by running stock screens, endlessly reading (blogs, research, magazines, newspapers), looking at the holdings of respected investors, talking to a large network of investment professionals, attending conferences, scouring through ideas published on value investor networks, and finally, scouring a large (and growing) watch list of companies […]
I simply don’t trust the fundamentals of the global economy right now. The system is built on quicksand.
