Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, oversees a portfolio of 45 publicly traded stocks and securities worth $315 billion, in addition to a $277 billion cash pile and numerous private, wholly owned businesses.Buffett has a remarkable track record. His investment picks have propelled Berkshire stock to a compound annual return of 19.8% since he took the helm in 1965, crushing the 10.2% average annual gain in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index over the same period.Buffett knows average investors would struggle to replicate his returns by picking individual stocks, so he often recommends they buy exchange-traded funds (ETFs) instead.

It’s often claimed that small-cap stocks are more interest-rate sensitive than their large-cap counterparts because of their reliance on outside financing. This seems plausible. But what do the data say? In this blog post, I explore the relationship between small- and large-cap stocks and interest-rate changes using the Stocks, Bonds, Bills and Inflation® (SBBI®) monthly dataset — which is available to CFA Institute members — and the Robert Shiller long-bond rate dataset. I use graphs and correlations (and a little regression). My main findings are: Small-stock monthly returns are no more sensitive to rate changes than large-stock returns. Small stocks…
Small caps to grow at a multiple of the ‘Magnificent Seven,’ says Richard BernsteinSmall caps are poised to see massive gains over the next few months, according to Richard Bernstein of Richard Bernstein Advisors.”The reason, I think, that we’re such big bulls on mid-caps and small caps is that that’s where the earnings growth is forecasted to be,” the firm’s CEO and chief investment officer told CNBC’s “The Exchange” on Monday. “By the end of this year [or] early next year, we’re going to find that small caps … are going to grow at a multiple of what, say, the…
Image source: Getty Images FTSE 250 retailer WH Smith (LSE:SMWH) doesn’t immediately jump out as a stock to consider buying. It trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 29 and there are better moats around sandcastles. On closer inspection though, there’s a lot more than meets the eye. The business is better than initial appearances suggest and the share price is actually cheaper than it seems. Physical retail? WH Smith has an unimpressive physical retail operation. In a world of online shopping and fierce high street competition, this part of the business doesn’t have much to differentiate itself. The most…
France’s TotalEnergies is willing to invest in Brazil’s carbon credit market, its CEO Patrick Pouyanné told the Rio Oil and Gas conference on Monday. “Brazil is a huge potential carbon sink. We could invest in a fund for the Amazon, but it would have to generate carbon credits for us,” he said. For that to happen, Brazil must advance its carbon credit market legal framework, which is being discussed in congress. “We’re investing in the US [carbon credit market] because its legal framework is clear. So if Brazil moves forward with this, it would be a big step,” Pouyanné said. …
These days it’s easy to simply buy an index fund, and your returns should (roughly) match the market. In contrast individual stocks will provide a wide range of possible returns, and may fall short. The Evonik Industries AG (ETR:EVK) is such an example; over three years its share price is down 27% versus a marketdecline of 11%.It’s worthwhile assessing if the company’s economics have been moving in lockstep with these underwhelming shareholder returns, or if there is some disparity between the two. So let’s do just that. See our latest analysis for Evonik Industries To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the…
For many, the main point of investing is to generate higher returns than the overall market. But in any portfolio, there will be mixed results between individual stocks. So we wouldn’t blame long term First Resources Limited (SGX:EB5) shareholders for doubting their decision to hold, with the stock down 11% over a half decade.With that in mind, it’s worth seeing if the company’s underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies.
