U.S. Economy: Dismal News, Dismal Outlook [View article]
The U.S. should start to have a new new deal: build/upgrade our out dated infrastructure like telecom, wireless, railroad, energy and even agriculture. I just don't see any substantial 'stimulus' money into these new projects: they create jobs, they will payoff long term etc. In stead, we poured money to troubled banks and welfare entitlement, pathetic!

One quick question to clarify: EPS from fund management: is this from Opco or Holdco? If it is from Opco, the real EPS to Holdco will be only 22.1%*0.73=0.16, which is drastically smaller. In fact, taking 10 multiple to 0.16 would give you 1.6 and adding this to 8.38 would give about current price 10!
SA editor changed the title, current title is misleading. It should be "Using momentum strategy for 7 buy and hold forever stocks". Right now, it sounds like holding momentum stocks forever.

Anyone cares to comment why MA had two quarters of loss in 2008? I knew it was in the midst of crisis, but people still needed to use their plastics, right?

Asset Allocation: Investing with Styles Can Pay off [View article]
That rotation over styles does work: I have used some form for over five years with good results. The only question: what are the possible styles to begin with: it is a real headache in ETFs: some of them are thinly traded and some of them are overlapped, not pure style. Any thought on this?

On the other hand, look at Shiller and Tobin's Q www.smithers.co.uk/pag.... It is 30%+ over valued. It would be helpful if someone or you have data on how well they would perform if used as signals as Buffett's.
So with this new normal, what should we do for investment? Just simply holding stocks and bonds static would get us nowhere in the coming 5 years. The article by validfi on SA seekingalpha.com/artic... is one of few that make good sense: we just have to be active and learn some more strategies. Good time is behind us, relying on the almighty USA locomotive is probably not very useful for us citizens any more.
