Consider Selling Discipline = Systematic, Forward-looking, Repeatable
Image shown: An illustration of Valuentum's call on Kinder Morgan during 2015. You can read about this in more detail in the Preface of Value Trap: Theory of Universal Valuation. For a consider-selling discipline to be successful, it must be systematic, forward-looking and repeatable. The Valuentum process worked equally well with General Electric during 2017 (image later in note).  No changes to simulated newsletter portfolios.

Wild Ride in the Markets -- Nelson
Image Source: Spencerville Rodeo. Market volatility has picked up quite a bit of late, and frankly you shouldn’t be the bit surprised. I’ve been quite active explaining the impact that the proliferation of index investing and quantitative investing has had and will have on the marketplace. The more people index or invest on backward-looking empirical criteria, as in most quant models, regardless of future expectations, the more people that are buying everything at any price and holding no matter what, the more people that aren’t making decisions on the basis of underlying valuations, then the more people that can contribute to severe price-to-fair value dislocations.

Amazon: The Destroyer of Other Companies’ Profits
Image Source: Victor. Amazon is stepping into the pharmacy business with the purchase of online pharmacy start-up PillPack. The market is implying the move will prove to be more than just a headache for those operating in the drug store/pharmacy and drug-distributor complex. Whether the impact will be significantly material in the coming years remains to be seen, but it’s a big directional negative for impacted parties.

In the News: Facebook, General Electric, GameStop
We continue to love Facebook’s valuation opportunity, and the company has registered a 10 on the Valuentum Buying Index. General Electric’s stock price continues to swoon, and we couldn’t have called it better. We used the mosaic theory to anticipate private-equity interest in GameStop. Not a bad trio of calls, no?

Trade Worries Back on the Table
Image Source: Michael Vadon. We think investors shouldn’t overreact, but we didn’t have two world wars in the last century because leaders of superpowers “got along” nicely.
