The Age Curve Report February 2010
February 8, 2010
Good Afternoon.
We are pleased to provide you with a copy of our February issue of the Age Curve Report, To download this report, please click here.
The month of January was a month of two halves, starting with market gains, high hopes for further gains on the back of encouraging economic numbers, and hints of a positive earnings season. It finished the month in negative territory over fears of a pending Chinese slowdown and Greek bond defaults. This sharp pullback has corrected many of our concerns over extreme optimism and we now expect markets to recover their footing.
In many ways investors, including us, sometimes get caught up with trying to fine tune the market over the short term to such an extent we forget the woods for the trees. What we should be doing is spending less time on what the market averages are doing and more time focusing on discovering undervalued potential "Super Stocks" that sell for 75 cents or less on the Dollar.
Therefore, we have decided to recommit cash to stocks we feel are undervalued and whose potential risk adjusted returns are attractive. We comment on which of our model stocks we feel are attractive in the coming rally in the Market Overview section, and review model portfolio holdings' earnings. Despite the market's renewed volatility, we are pleased to see that performance of the model portfolio hit new relative highs versus its benchmark of the S&P Global 100 Index.
