Michael Kors – The Latest 9 or 10 on the Valuentum Buying Index
Image shown: The performance of Michael Kors relative to the stock market since it registered a 9 on the Valuentum Buying Index. Is it any surprise that the markets seem to be struggling at current levels? The Valuentum Buying Index registered its latest 9 or 10 with Michael Kors in August 2017. While that stock has surged, the market has floundered. It’s so important to be patient for ideas. Anyone can create ideas. Not everyone can create good ideas, and that’s the difference. You don’t want to miss the next highly-rated stock on the VBI!

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.

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.

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.

How to Think About Corporate Tax Reform
Image Source: DonkeyHotey. Donald Trump and team are working hard to “Make America Great Again,” and lowering tax rates on corporations is a key initiative. Nobody knows for sure whether such efforts will come to fruition, but knowing how to use our research and understanding the fair value estimate range puts you ahead of the crowd, if it hasn’t already.

Michael Kors’ Stock Surges; Market Overreacts to Hanesbrands' Results
Image shown: Shares of Michael Kors have been rocketing higher recently. The stock is rated 9 on the Valuentum Buying Index. The sole 9 rating on the Valuentum Buying Index has had a very nice couple of months recently. Meanwhile, Hanesbrands is feeling the wrath of considerable selling pressure, and we don't think it is justified.
