We’re big advocates of the idea that mutual fund investors are captives of the market, because they’re long all the time. For that reason, real diversification among different kinds of funds—which can help you in all market conditions—is vital.

As I’ve said in past few weeks, the financial sector remains interesting for investors with a fairly high risk tolerance, and it’s time to wait for the sector to turn around. Ironically, there are two mutual funds out there that focus on the financial sector and are outperforming the S&P 500 in a pretty impressive way.

Last week, the Federal Reserve released the minutes from its March 18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. At that meeting, the Fed cut the fed funds rate by 75 basis points to the current level of 2.25 percent. This raises the following question: If inflation is such a real concern, why would you lower rates?

Mutual funds are not for trading. They’re for building long-term wealth with low volatility.

Futures market speculators are a favorite scapegoat for politicians looking to assign blame for rising oil and energy prices. But data released on Friday by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) backs up what I’ve been saying for a long time: Futures market speculation is not the main driver of oil prices over the longer term.

Late 2000 was the high water mark of a 20-year uptrend for the utility stock mutual fund business. As both conventional utilities and newcomers like Calpine, Dynegy, El Paso and Enron soared to new heights, investor dollars poured into a flurry of new fund offerings by major brokerages, fund families like Fidelity and Vanguard and scores of smaller investment houses.

Vital resource stocks have been pounded during the financial crisis. Some of the losses have come from the liquidation of positions investors piled into—including hedge funds—on the way up. Some have been a result of the current surge of the US dollar, which--in turn--has been due in part to the so-called flight to quality and unwinding of the “carry trade” by large institutions. And some of the losses have been due simply to worries that the liquidity crisis would trigger a steep global recession.

A virtuous circle where rising stock prices push economic growth, leading to rising stock prices: Suddenly that scenario doesn’t seem so far fetched. The Bush Administration is certainly on board for firing up growth, and even the Federal Reserve has stated its intention to further prime the pump--despite the fact that the fed funds rate is already down to just 1.25 percent. With the threat of war looming in the Middle East and terrorism always a danger, there are no guarantees. But things certainly look good for growth and stocks, at least for the next few months.

Most financial markets were closed today. However, despite the break in trading, we have plenty of news to report. US stocks seesawed from red to green throughout the week, but ultimately posted their largest gains in seven weeks on the strength of a reduction to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s excess capital requirements and the Federal Reserve’s decision to slash the federal funds rate from 3.00 percent to 2.25 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 3.4 percent, the S&P 500 rose 3.2 percent and the Nasdaq Composite gained 2.1 percent.

So-called “socially responsible” investing has a mixed track record. On one hand, investors in the handful of mutual funds and managed accounts that exclude polluters, vice industries, practitioners of employee-unfriendly or discriminatory policies and so on have avoided some of this bear market’s biggest pitfalls regarding corporate conduct. On the other, one person’s social good can be another’s unforgivable sin, and being clean doesn’t always equate to solid returns. Here are the views of The Clean Yield.

Good companies eventually make for good markets. As we've continued to wade through the increasingly thick muck of the markets, it really all comes down to owning good companies that are in good businesses. That means eventually better valuations for our portfolios.Those are tough words to read as we all have watched some or many of our stocks and funds go through some big gyrations--and not to the upside. But overall, while the market might not be able to create good times for some of our stock prices, our companies have continued to tell the tale of better times--even if the market isn't paying attention.

Risks & Rewards

Oil prices up or down? Ditto interest rates? What about the dollar --up or down against what? These are the crucial questions of the week that will impact the bulk of our holdings for the days, weeks and months to come.

We could get wrapped up over each of these as well as other potential issues that constantly represent the risks and rewards for investors. But the key: Don’t focus on the worst or the best, but on the most realistic potential outcome.
If we cave and look for the worst, we might as well hole up with cash or gold coinage. The results: None of us will make any sort of return and all the opportunities will pass us by—that’s as bad as a loss. It’s a lost opportunity. And if we put on our rose-colored glasses and hope all works out for our
stocks—then prayer will be the necessity.

You have to be realistic. This week, while the headlines scream that oil prices may plummet, interest
rates are headed to the moon and the dollar's doomed, take a step back. Put the paper down, turn off the boob tube and take a realistic position.

Oil is more likely headed lower. New and extended supplies and reserves will be coming on line in the months to come. This is our stance and it’s the same as the well-known experts (e.g., the head of the International Energy Agency and the heads of one of the world’s biggest oil companies). We're prepared-- our oil companies based in Canada are set to deal with lower prices.

Interest rates--we already know that shorter-term rates have edged up. However, the intermediate- and longer-term rates for our core bond investments continue lowering. This doesn't mean the stock market guys will value our funds each and every day. Yet, as we've learned through many years of experience, the stock market never gets rates, bond prices and bond funds correct. Stay calm. Look for our new additions (to replace the regrettable sale of the Morgan Stanley closed-end fund) in the upcoming issue of Personal Finance.

And the dollar isn't doomed--in fact, it’s actually been a big global beneficiary of trade and investment. It wasn't but a handful of days since another near-term record foreign demand for US stocks and bonds. Korea may make for a little sensational press, but remember--that nation is small and more dependent on us than vice versa.

Hedge funds continue to make headlines, and most of them are not good. The big insider-trading case involved a hedge fund firm, and news stories indicate the investment process of the firm was to get an “information edge” that apparently included insider information on a regular basis. Forbes magazine had an article asking “How Dirty Are Hedge Funds?” Its answer was “filthy.”

--General Motors’ recent bond issuance might well be the trial balloon to bail out the building pension fund fiasco in many old-line public companies. The deal allows GM to borrow almost $20 billion in current and pending bonds at a expected average interest cost of about 7 percent; an accounting move will allocate the proceeds to the ailing pension account. With FASB Rule 87, GM gets to assume a 9 percent rate of return in the fund. With the tax considerations, the resulting after-tax cost of borrowing is more like 4 percent and with the pension assumed to generate 9 percent, that means GM could count up to $250 million per quarter in added earnings, even if it’s just an accounting aberration. Along with pending eased regulations on estimating pension liabilities, this might be the government’s way to bail out many ailing public company pension funds—before taxpayers get stuck with the bill through the Public Pension Guarantee Corporation. While it’s a farce—if it’s good for GM, it might be good for the nation.

• In late October, PowerShares Capital Management launched eight new exchange traded funds (ETFs). These are the new hot investment vehicles; they’re sector- or subject-specific stock portfolios that trade like stocks but allow individual investors to hold a basket of stocks similar to a mutual fund. And what’s hipper than new investment products? New investment sectors. ONE OF POWERSHARES’ NEW ETFS IS THE LUX NANOTECH PORTFOLIO. Granted, Merrill Lynch’s Nanotech ETF has been around longer, but this one grabbed more headlines. The Lux Nano is hardly a trip through the nano frontier. More than one third of the companies are Dow, S&P 500 or similar size companies that have tangential exposure to nanotechnology. Merrill’s Nanotech ETF has more direct beneficiaries to nanotech but with increased volatility and risk, since these little firms are usually one-trick ponies. This is great exposure for the industry but the portfolios are lame. Our advice: Buy some risk capital in individual shares of companies that engage your interest and look like they have good business models.

Personal Finance:

One of the country’s most widely read investment newsletters, Personal Finance is an indispensable resource for the individual investor, featuring expert analysis of market activity and economic trends as well as detailed advice on how to profit from these developments. Twice a month, Editor Neil George shares his insights into the world’s markets, while highlighting the best stocks for growth and income and explaining the rationale behind these selections. The performance of our portfolio recommendations are constantly monitored by a team of dedicated analysts who post regular updates on the publication’s website (www.pfnewsletter.com)—whether the outlook for a particular stock is positive or negative, readers know exactly where they stand and how they should act to maximize returns.

In addition to Neil’s recommendations and commentary, Personal Finance subscribers enjoy and profit from wide-ranging coverage of financial markets penned by some of the industry’s most respected analysts. Roger Conrad weighs in with his take on high-yielding Canadian income trusts and utilities stocks; Gue writes about the latest developments and hottest plays in the energy sector, from oil drillers to liquid natural gas companies; Yiannis Mostrous examines exciting investments in emerging markets such as China and India; and executive editor GS Early identifies and analyzes winning companies in the world of nanotech and disruptive technologies.

Recent issues of Personal Finance have included stories on the following topics and opportunities:

• The advantages of purchasing Income Deposits Securities (IDS), Income Participation Securities (IPS), Enhanced Income Securities and other so-called hybrid shares that consist of a common stock component and a debt component;
• Coal producers and shippers that are in the best position to capitalize on rising European demand;
• The most lucrative plays in national and rural telecoms; and
• Stress-tested Canadian income trusts that not only pay high dividends, but will also weather the current economic downturn.

 

Utility Forecaster:

For over twenty years, Roger Conrad’s Utility Forecaster has provided subscribers with in-depth coverage and expert analysis of investment opportunities in electric, water, natural gas and telecommunication utilities. Each issue examines key macroeconomic and regulatory developments that drive utilities’ performance and share prices, while closely scrutinizing the growth potential of individual companies. In addition to Roger’s valuable commentary, the monthly newsletter features portfolios chockfull of the best plays for both income- and growth-minded investors as well as the rationale behind these selections.

The highlight of Utilities Forecaster is undoubtedly Roger’s proprietary rating system, which gauges the safety of each utility’s dividend as well as each firm’s strengths and weaknesses. Utilities have experienced their fair share of ups and downs over the years, from the current boom to the nadir of five years ago when The Dow Jones Utility Average plummeted 60 percent in just two years. With Roger’s “How They Rate” table, which includes over 200 utilities and related companies (such as crude oil producers), readers can quickly evaluate a particular firm’s prospects and determine whether to buy, sell or hold the stock.

Recent issues of Utility Forecaster have examined the following topics and opportunities:

• Which natural gas producers are best positioned to take advantage of rising demand as utilities companies erect more and more gas-powered electric plants in an effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions;
• Why Arizona and New York State regulators are severely limiting utility rate increases and which companies will be most affected;
• Why the telecommunications industry is in better shape than its share prices indicate and which national and rural telephone companies are poised for profits;
• Investment opportunities arising from the burgeoning “negawatts” movement;
• Choosing the best limited partnerships in the energy infrastructure field; and
• Why US recession worries aren’t necessarily a death knell for renewable energy companies, and which ones are the best bargains.

Not only do utilities and companies in satellite industries tend to weather economic downturns better than firms in other sectors, but with demand for connectivity and energy expected to grow exponentially over the next few decades, the best firms in these sectors will generate huge profits. From nuclear and renewable energy companies, to telecommunications and foreign utilities, Roger Conrad’s Utility Forecaster supplies the sound analysis and market intelligence that forms the basis of all good investment decisions.

Roger Conrad’s Canadian Edge:

Roger Conrad’s Canadian Edge focuses exclusively on the world of high-yielding Canadian income and royalty trusts, a business structure that allows companies to pay the vast majority of their earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends and return on capital—without paying taxes. Although Canada first authorized the trust structure in 1986 to attract investors to energy-exploration firms—a backbone of the country’s economy—businesses in a wide range of sectors, from real estate to telecommunications, now enjoy its considerable benefits.
In each monthly issue of Canadian Edge, Roger provides readers not only with sample portfolios that are tailored to meet the objectives of conservative and aggressive investors, but also a “How They Rate Table” that tracks the performance of the best Canadian income and royalty trusts for American investors. This comprehensive database supplements each company’s vital statistics with Roger’s proprietary safety ratings as well as actionable advice.
But these tables provide investors with only so much of an edge. Every issue also includes Roger’s penetrating analyses of recent regulatory and economic trends that might influence the performance of Canadian trusts in general, those operating within certain sectors or industries, and even individual companies. Regular columns focus specifically on the growth prospects for oil and gas trusts, while another monthly feature addresses key political and regulatory developments. Subscribers are also kept apprised of any breaking news through updates posted on the publication’s website. (Potential subscribers should consult the subscribers’ guide to get a better understanding of the publication’s scope).
With the help of associate editor David Dittman, Roger has established Canadian Edge as the premier source of information on prospective changes to the Canadian tax code (slated for 2011) and their ramifications for investors.
Recent topics and opportunities featured in Roger Conrad’s Canadian Edge include:

• How Canadian income trusts have fared since Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced prospective changes to the tax code, and why investors shouldn’t necessarily panic about their implementation in 2011;
• Which specific income trusts are best positioned to succeed when their tax burden increases in 2011 and which companies have the most exposure;
• The market’s reaction to Trinidad Drilling and TransForce Income Fund’s decision to switch from trusts to corporations and the implications for the likelihood and timing of further conversions;
• Why a slowing US economy no longer translates into sagging crude oil prices, and which oil-producing Canadian trusts are likely to reap the benefits; and
• Why natural gas prices have shrugged off their two-year slump, and the long-term growth prospects for natural gas producers as electric utilities increasingly turn to gas-fired plants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Energy Strategist:

Energy markets are notoriously fickle, subject to geopolitical developments as well as macroeconomic trends, technological advances and the discovery and production of new reserves. Whether at the pump or in the news, the economic and environmental realities of the world’s insatiable demand for energy are never far from our consciousness. But profiting from rising commodities prices requires sound market intelligence as well as a keen understanding of the forces at play in these markets.
Published twice each month, The Energy Strategist features Elliott Gue’s expert take on the latest developments in the world’s energy markets and, more importantly, the opportunities therein for individual investors. From traditional energy sources like coal, crude oil and natural gas to nuclear power and renewable energy, Elliott explains the dynamics of each sector as well as the companies best positioned to take advantage of emerging trends. Each issue also tracks the performance of sample portfolios designed to meet the objectives of both conservative and aggressive investors.
Elliott has addressed the following topics and opportunities at length in recent issues of The Energy Strategist:

• Why the UK’s success in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through natural gas-powered electric plants bodes well for US utilities, which face the prospect of transitioning away from coal-fired plants as a carbon tax or carbon trading scheme become more likely;
• Which companies will benefit from rising US and UK demand for natural gas;
• Why nuclear energy is again emerging as a viable means to meet growing demand for power, and which junior uranium companies may be poised for extraordinary growth in the coming years;
• Why Elliott remains bullish on biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, and the best plays in this sector for individual investors;
• The prospects for deepwater drilling off the coast of Brazil, why the country will likely eclipse Venezuela in terms of oil production and which companies stand to benefit from the recent discoveries in the Tupi and Carioca fields; and
• Investment opportunities in oil and gas companies that are using unconventional production methods to extract these resources from the Barnett Shale play and the Alberta oil sands.

The Yield Letter:

When the market is booming and it seems like everyone is making money, it’s easy to dismiss bonds and bond funds as boring and inefficient investments. This outlook is somewhat naïve and shortsighted. Regardless of market conditions, bonds form the cornerstone of any successful portfolio for one simple reason: When markets and economies enter a prolonged skid, these investments continue to pay a steady, reliable income.
In his first career as an international bond trader and investment banker, Neil George worked bond desks in London, Vienna and the US. As Chief Economist, Neil helped Mark Twain Bank in St. Louis become the most innovative bank in America when he traded international bonds and pioneered bringing overseas investments to American investors. And now he brings his expert recommendations and analysis to the individual investor with The Yield Letter, a semimonthly newsletter dedicated to uncovering the best bonds, bond funds and what Neil calls mini-bonds—Income Deposits Securities (IDS), Income Participation Securities (IPS), Enhanced Income Securities (EIS) and other so-called hybrid shares that consist of a common stock component and a debt component. In short, The Yield Letter focuses on the investment vehicles that will pay you regularly in all economic climates.
