BLACK ENTERPRISE: What is your market outlook for 2004? COLEMAN: As I look out the next three to five years, I think that the world is going to be very, very good for equity investors. If pressed, I would say that between now and the election, it should be very smooth. CRAIG: In terms of my outlook for 2004, it's an election year and, generally, that spells good things. I think economically, we will see pretty strong growth because GDP GDP (guanosine diphosphate): see guanine. numbers are attractive and inflation numbers are low. BATTS: For 2004, we're cautiously optimistic op·ti·mist n. 1. One who usually expects a favorable outcome. 2. A believer in philosophical optimism. op . We believe that some of the elements are in place for continued growth. Business investment is starting to pickup Pickup A gain in yield made by selling one bond and buying another. Also referred to as "yield pickup." Notes: When the present yield is relatively low compared to the longer-term yields, pickups will be done by investors trying to increase the yield and duration of their ; we look at the competitive nature of the dollar and how it's driving exports, and inflation seems under control. So we are cautiously optimistic. DIAMOND: In terms of outlook, our view is that equity should do fine. Corporate bonds will do particularly well. High yield bonds, I think, will do well. I must point out however, that for the last 20 years we've been in a steady decline of interest rates. And looking out, we are going to see the mirror image of that trend so, as interest rates rise, I would not be in U.S. Treasury U.S. Treasury Created in 1798, the United States Department of the Treasury is the government (Cabinet) department responsible for issuing all Treasury bonds, notes and bills. Some of the government branches operating under the U.S. Treasury umbrella include the IRS, U.S. Bonds, going forward. B.E.: Are we in a bull market that will be sustained or are we likely to see continued market volatility during 2004? CRAIG: We've gone through a profits recession over the last couple of years. Companies have been put in a position where they have had to wring wring v. wrung , wring·ing, wrings v.tr. 1. To twist, squeeze, or compress, especially so as to extract liquid. Often used with out. 2. out excesses. I think the type of earnings growth that we are likely to see over the next couple of years, should help sustain a market advance. BATTS: I would agree with that assessment and add that I think there are some structural changes [to the economy] that are going on that we are going to have to address. The impact of the administration's stimulus package, in the short term, unquestionably un·ques·tion·a·ble adj. Beyond question or doubt. See Synonyms at authentic. un·ques  tion·a·bil had some benefit in the third quarter of 2003. But the
real question that we have to determine is, Can the administration
promise a guaranteed Social Security benefit, Medicare, tax cuts,
corporate subsidies, No Child Left Behind, improved education, and still
cut the federal deficit? There are some inconsistent policies put
forward, and I think that we are going to have to deal with that.But, having said that, we are seeing that companies continue to accelerate their earnings momentum so we have reason to expect that, in 2004, the rally will expand to some of the higher quality companies this year. DIAMOND: I wanted to point out that there is a risk to all of the rosy ros·y adj. ros·i·er, ros·i·est 1. a. Having the characteristic pink or red color of a rose. b. Flushed with a healthy glow: rosy cheeks. 2. outlooks that we've just described. I'm very confident there is going to be a pickup in business investment, but I'm not as confident on the strength of the consumer because it has been driven by a lot of tax stimulus. The tax stimulus that is coining the first half of this year is about $42 billion, so, again, we're going to get more artificial stimulation, which makes the consumer feel really good about him or herself. When that goes away, which will be in the first half of 2004, the consumer may, in fact, falter unless there is real improvement in the employment sector. Markets are going to be at risk because companies have already gotten very lean and mean. How much more can they cut? B.E.: What signs should an investor look for that will indicate whether this market has legs to continue or whether it might be slipping back into a recession? BATTS: As an investor, I would continue to look at business investment and manufacturing--are there increases in capacity utilization Capacity Utilization measures the rate at which a firm makes use of their capital productive capacities, such as factories and machinery. Capacity Utilization generally rises when the economy is healthy and falls when demand softens. ? What effect would a rise in rates have going forward? We still believe in the equity markets as places to go but there are defensive sectors. For example, you look at healthcare. You look at staples staples U-shaped stainless steel or vitallium units with sharp points used for surgical fixation. epiphyseal staples used to staple epiphysis to metaphysis; have metal bracing at the corners. . During periods of rising rates, you might find investors beginning to go there and realize some value. COLEMAN: We're not focusing on whether we're in a bear market or a bull market. What we are trying to do is exploit valuation aberrations--we have chosen to concentrate our portfolios in areas that are, in some way, related to telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. , broadband, and wireless, because those are areas where the entire sector got blown up. We're talking 90% declines and higher. In the case of Nortel, an $87 stock became 43 cents. When you see that sort of aberration, you ask yourself, "OK. Now that the panic is behind us, what is the right price for a company like Nortel?" DIAMOND: I would advise individuals that things are going to get better. If they think about a typical asset allocation Asset Allocation The process of dividing a portfolio among major asset categories such as bonds, stocks or cash. The purpose of asset allocation is to reduce risk by diversifying the portfolio. of roughly 60% equity, 40% bonds, [I would] reduce the allocation of bonds, in general, because interest rates are likely to go up. I would increase my allocation to equity because of the positive. fundamental backdrop Backdrop may refer to:
A large one-time payment of money. and holding. B.E.: Any particular type of mutual funds? DIAMOND: I'll tell you what I did for myself and for my three kids. I have 60% in Vanguard's S&P Index Fund, so the core of my equity composite is in the Standard & Poor's Index. Then, I play on the margin. I'd place 15% in an international equity fund, because I think growth is going to be much stronger outside of the U.S. than inside. Then I'd put 15% in technology funds because I think that there is going to be a huge pickup going forward, globally, on business investment and that area is going to be attractive. And then I balance things out with a high-yield bond fund high-yield bond fund An investment company that attempts to produce unusually high income for its shareholders by maintaining a corporate bond portfolio that contains at minimum two thirds lower-rated bonds (Baa by Moody's; BBB by S&P). . That's what I've done for each one of my kids because they have a long time horizon. B.E.: Is it a good idea for investors to do the due diligence Research; analysis; your homework. This term has caught on in all industries, because it sounds so "wired." Who would want to do analysis or research when they can do due diligence. See wired. and choose strong individual stocks as opposed to going into mutual funds? COLEMAN: We succeed, as investors, by identifying companies that we believe in, and the litmus test litmus test n. A test for chemical acidity or basicity using litmus paper. for whether it's worthy of us is generally on the consumption side. Do we consume, in one way or another, this product or service and are we satisfied? That is the first connect. Any individual has that experience, whether you are consuming Starbuck's coffee and, therefore, like the company or you like to shop at Wal-Mart. You like Microsoft software because it makes you more productive. There are things that touch our lives and they tend to be publicly traded companies publicly traded company A company whose shares of common stock are held by the public and are available for purchase by investors. The shares of publicly traded firms are bought and sold on the organized exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. , so we identify them. Hopefully, you can do the kind of analysis that gets you to that point of comfort with a company--then it's really about waiting. You find a good idea and you wait. Anheuser-Busch is a company that has been delivering about 15% compounded, to its investors, for about 40 years. Well, 15% compounded for five years doubles your money. For 10 years, it gives you four to one. Well, if you consume that product and you like it, then it's a smart thing to buy the stock and let it be. So much of succeeding in investing is about being patient. It's about making a very good decision and then watching it work, letting time create the value for you. CRAIG: The Internet allows you to have access to pretty much the same type of data that professional investors have. You can research your own stocks, but it takes a lot of time. For those who do not want to devote the time and energy to structure their own portfolios, Exchange Traded Funds Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) Also known as ETF. A basket of stocks similar to an index mutual fund. However, there are a number of important differences between ETFs and mutual funds. are available. Index funds are also a way that you can kind of avoid a lot of the scandal-plagued funds that have been in the headlines recently. For those investors who have big retirement assets in funds, you can put them in ETFs pretty easily, without any major costs. ETFs trade like stocks. There are some disadvantages in that you pay a broker's commission so they are better for lump sum distributions, as opposed to dollar cost averaging; but, because they are passively traded, you can pretty much gain exposure to any sector and the expense ratios (fees) are very low. They are also very tax efficient. BATTS: Going back to what you were asking about the mutual funds, I think you have to classify clas·si·fy tr.v. clas·si·fied, clas·si·fy·ing, clas·si·fies 1. To arrange or organize according to class or category. 2. To designate (a document, for example) as confidential, secret, or top secret. people into maybe two different categories--those who may want to invest on their own and those who would invest through a vehicle, like a mutual fund. For the individual who would like to invest on his own, I believe that, as Warren Buffett Warren Buffett Known as "the Oracle of Omaha," Buffett is Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and arguably the greatest investor of all time. His wealth fluctuates with the performance of the market, but for the last few years he has been reported to be worth over $30 billion, making cautions, if someone knew that they could make only 10 investments in their life, they would take the care to research, and to understand what it is that they are buying. And I think that they would probably, once doing that research, be able to have the patience to see it come to fruition fru·i·tion n. 1. Realization of something desired or worked for; accomplishment: labor finally coming to fruition. 2. Enjoyment derived from use or possession. 3. . If they can only make a few selections, why would they choose this stock over the rest of the stocks in the universe? B.E.: Are you suggesting that consumers should use that same approach to pick a mutual fund now? BATTS: No. In terms of an individual investment, I think they should select stocks as if they only had a limited number of picks so that they would do that research. For investors who may be inclined to look at a fund, there are several things that they should take a look at. They should take a look at expense ratios. They need to take the time to read the disclosure statements, to understand what the trading policy is, especially with respect to late-day trading--particularly in international funds, which have been in the news lately. Does the fund have a policy to monitor trading within their fund? Some funds have policies that once you go into the fund, you cannot exit the fund without a substantial disincentive dis·in·cen·tive n. Something that prevents or discourages action; a deterrent. disincentive Noun something that discourages someone from behaving or acting in a particular way Noun 1. . But, at the end of the day, I think they also want to take a look at, obviously, the performance, and not the performance in 2003. If it's an equity fund, they want to take a look at how the fund has performed in a bear market as well as how it has performed in a bull market; to take a look at its three-, five-, and 10-year record. B.E.: What should an investor look for when they want to get out of a fund? BATTS: I think they should assess that downside risk Downside Risk An estimation of a security's potential to suffer a decline in price if the market conditions turn bad. Notes: You can think of this as an estimate of the amount that you could lose on a stock or other investment. [of the fund] and, if a fund goes below whatever their threshold is--if it goes down 25%, 30%, or whatever they set as their personal threshold--I think that would be one trigger [to get out]. If they lose confidence in the manager or the fund or the market altogether, they can use that to execute their sell strategy. CRAIG: It's important that investors know what they are getting. Investors shouldn't go out and buy an aggressive growth fund and think that if it doesn't return 30-plus percent returns because growth goes out of favor, that somehow that manager is no longer appropriate for that particular allocation. I think the most important decision is, How much are you going to allocate to growth, how much are you going to allocate to value, small cap, international, fixed income? Generally speaking, the allocation is the most important decision, and you need to feel comfortable that the fund is following the guidelines guidelines, n.pl a set of standards, criteria, or specifications to be used or followed in the performance of certain tasks. that are appropriate for what you are trying to accomplish. In terms of fees, there are enough alternative funds to choose from, so that you don't have to pay a lot for a mutual fund to get good performance. B.E.: Any last words Last words are a person's final words before death. For a list of well known last words, see or use the link at right. Last words may refer to:
DIAMOND: If they have an allocation now that is very high in bonds, investors should take it down and increase equities. They should also consider being willing to take a certain percentage of their money to use as education and invest it in some of the stocks that my colleagues have mentioned, in an attempt to learn. BATTS: In wrapping up, I would emphasize discipline, as it applies to their lives, in terms of their budgeting, a certain amount [of money] that they are going to invest. There are many vehicles out there where you can be very passive [about investing] or you can be as involved as you want to be. But it's also important to take a longer-term approach and to understand that there is some volatility in the market. There is some downside risk, but over a longer period of time, with patience and discipline, they will be rewarded for their efforts. CRAIG: Don't allow the corporate malfeasance The commission of an act that is unequivocally illegal or completely wrongful. Malfeasance is a comprehensive term used in both civil and Criminal Law to describe any act that is wrongful. and the mutual fund scandals that are in the headlines today to keep you from investing. Obviously, you have to be more aware of where you invest, but there is a tremendous opportunity over the next couple of years. Over the longer term, I think investing in the financial markets is a must as you plan for your retirement and your kids' education. The biggest decision that you have to make is the allocations to the various asset classes, and don't be afraid to seek professional advice when you make those decisions. COLEMAN: If you are trying to grow your money at a rate above 10%, then the stock market is the place to be. Time is your best ally. If you can just own a great idea for a decade, you will never be deluded again. Just buy a really great company and keep it for a decade, and you will be amazed a·maze v. a·mazed, a·maz·ing, a·maz·es v.tr. 1. To affect with great wonder; astonish. See Synonyms at surprise. 2.
