We’re making some moves in the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio today.

Alert: Dropping P&G; Also -- Intel's Dividend Hike; General Motors Puts Up Strong March Sales
We were reminded of some good news from Intel and General Motors today, but the time has come to part with Procter & Gamble. We may have included it in the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio too long.

Trump Targets China with Tariffs
Image: Shanghai, China (December 2016), Andrey Filippov. Stock markets in the US are slowly building in the prospect of retaliation (a “trade war”) from China, as a result of President Trump’s new tariffs. We maintain our view that the stock market has been frothy for some time, and the recent volatility may just be the beginning of a reversion to normalized valuations, with or without concerns about global trade.

Avoiding Troubled Equities Such as General Electric
The Valuentum process waits for a stock’s price to be moving higher before it is considered. The stock must not only be undervalued on both a discounted cash-flow basis and relative value basis, in our view, but the market must also believe that its true intrinsic value should be higher, too, as evidenced by a rising share price. The process is symmetrical. We also would wait for a company’s share price to break down before we may consider removing an overpriced stock. In some cases, the information contained in prices can even provide clues when to remove an underpriced stock, as in the case of General Electric.

Saying Good Bye to Boeing…For Now
There probably hasn’t been a better large-cap call in the Dow Jones Industrial Average than Boeing during the past couple years, and we have been all over it. But shares have now “rolled over,” and its valuation isn’t as attractive as it once was, both dynamics pointing to reasons for removal from the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. We continue to peruse our coverage universe for an adequate dividend growth replacement.

Our Ideas Are Performing Awesome So Far in 2018!!! 6 of the Top 7 of the Dow!
We’ve done a fantastic job identifying some of the top performers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average during 2018 (6 of the top 7!), but to be fair, a couple haven’t panned out that well either. In any case, we couldn’t be more pleased with the simulated newsletter portfolio ideas.

The "Luck" and "Randomness" of Index Funds
If the year-to-year performance of active funds relative to index funds can be considered “random,” so then is the year-to-year performance of index funds relative to active funds, regardless of fees and expenses. Image shown: page 1 of 14.

Trump’s Tariffs Ignite Concerns about Protectionism, Rising Input Costs
Image Source: Michael Vadon. President Trump is making true on his promise to protect the domestic steel and aluminum industries. Input costs may move higher for many global industrials, and the long-term implications of protectionist policy will be tested. We’re not expecting retaliation, but we can’t rule it out either. Rising rates remain our primary concern.

Hasbro, Boeing Pop as Market Bounces Back
Image Source: US Missile Defense Agency. June 22, 2014 - The Missile Defense Agency's Flight Test 06b Ground-Based Interceptor launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. on June 22, 2014. The markets have finally been getting the volatility that we’ve all been waiting for, and we don’t like the idea that the market is now trading more like a cryptocurrency. Granted, it’s important to stay focused over a long-term time horizon, which irons out the ups and downs, but there’s just something about 1,000+ daily swings on the Dow Jones Industrial Average that really doesn’t sit well with us, regardless of what that implies with respect to the percentage change. Can you imagine -- All of this over just a couple basis point increase in the 10-year and one very, very small ETF losing most of its value? What if something truly material happens? This market is fragile.
