Analyst Forecasts
Tim Kelley
January 17, 2013
In evaluating the future prospects for a business, one useful source of information is analyst earnings estimates. A good broking analyst who covers a particular company will often have a well-informed view of the factors that might influence earnings for that company in the years ahead.
At the same time, there are a number of biases and other issues with analysts’ forecasts. One interesting issue is that the forecasts can have a certain “inertia” to them, which means that changes may occur gradually over time. Because of this, it can be useful to look at the history of the forecasts, as well as the current level.

Value Investing
Tim Kelley
January 12, 2013
Value investing can be a laborious process. Properly understanding the many aspects that influence the value of a business is time-consuming, and in many cases the end result is to add one more company to the large pile of “No” decisions.
There are much quicker ways to arrive at investment decisions, one of which is to use trend-following systems. A large body of academic research has demonstrated that, historically, it has been possible to earn excess returns in a variety of markets over time by employing systematic trend-following methods (note that systematic trend following is something done by a computer employing back-tested statistical methods, not by an analyst casting their eye over a price chart).

Hybrid Securities – Equity Downside for Fixed Interest Returns
Tim Kelley
November 16, 2012
We often hold a material amount of cash in our funds management operation and, with deposit rates at painfully low levels, we have been considering ways we might work the cash a bit harder. Like many investors, we have focused attention on hybrid securities as one possibility.
Having studied this possibility for a short time we are now focusing elsewhere. Analysis of the terms of some of the recent offerings reveals highly complex instruments with concealed downside risks and an interest rate that falls well short of compensating investors for the hidden downside. A cynical observer might think that some of these products are designed to exploit retail investors who are unable to fully assess the downside risks they are taking on.
