HI Financial Services Commentary 04-13-2016

I love it when a plan comes together. – Hannibal Smith – A-Team

 

Dinner with the Sitze Family over the weekend.

What do “professional” money managers use for a trading instrument?

Guessing, Crystal ball, back testing, ASSET Allocation model based on historical averages

Their portfolio management ended when they put you into the fund.

Don’t worry!  You’re in for the long haul.

The PROBLEM: What’s wrong with a historical average?

It’s Just an Average

A $1 stock goes up 50% and down %50 = 0% historical Average

How much is the dollar worth? $1 up 50% = $1.50 then down 50% = $0.75

What’s a 25% historical average return on $1

Well, $1 goes up 75% = $.175 and then loses 50% for a 25% historical average GAIN = 1.75*0.50 = $0.875

What if it lost 50% first= $1 = $0.50 * 1.75 = $0.875

Morgan Stanley on a well-diversified blue chip stock fund made Down 14.9%

If you back out a 3% bond fund loss, and 2% currency loss, and 0.5% S&P 500 loss how much are fees?

3+2+.5= 5.5 then 14.9 – 5.5= 9.4%

BUT why not get something while you wait or as stocks fall down instead of worry with a little heart ache?

Why not pick up shares or lower cost basis or be able to sleep at night
