Thematic (Sector/Industry)

It has been noted that private sector investment in China has been weakening, but less commented upon is the massive increase in state-sector investment, fueled by easy access to state banks and often at the expense of the smaller, more efficient private companies.

Half-year 2016 trade volumes confirm generally muted container market. Where’s the growth?Most of the major carriers had poor first-half financial results. One of the main reasons behind the slump is the stagnation in demand for carriers’ services. Now that volume statistics are available for major 14 trades covered regularly by Drewry, representing an estimated 40% of the world total, we can see the picture more clearly.

It is no easy task generating decent relatively low-risk long-term returns portfolio. Over the last decade I have put a lot of thinking into building such a portfolio. It did involve risk taking and periods of relative volatility. I have found several golden rules, also based on failures of up close experiences from myself and others. My hands down worse investment was not cutting losses in certain names into the 2008 crash – most notably Citigroup shares, some of which I was forcibly locked into owing to management options with false information from HR. GE was another counter I took a beating on in 2008+.But some 2009-09 investment lessons I found mirrored some of my 1987-88 market crash lessons. Over time I have reduced volatility in my portfolio.  My main lesson for my conservative investment style was that buying into the heart of a crash takes quite a bit of time and patience to claw back to break even on average picks.  But in the end I stuck to this value style for increasing positions a number of times over the years. What follows is a no-holds barred account of my rules based investments, and losses and gains which have led to decent long-term performance despite a few scary gaps.The second half of this piece is a dialogue with a global investor friend of 15-20 years.
