    CEL has inconsistent dividends, paid one of $2.10 in March. Was this a one-time divy? Reply

    Nice to see Cellcom high on the list. I am less bullish on Telco's.. they seem to be having a very hard time increasing wallet share.
    Internet surfing from the phone is proving a flop and people are talking all they want to, texting all they want to and paying a fixed price. Competition is huge, moving operators easy (since the number migration law)..
    Technicals isn't everything.. it shows the past, not future.
    Cheers.

    Outlook for Select Sector ETFs [view article]
    Jonathan:

    As I say in the article--three years of trailing data is what I use. As far as getting rid of an under-performing sector, that will require study beyond QPP. The Financial sector is a great example. I have been very light on financials since well before the meltdown. I own some BAC, though, and it has gotten pounded. I am neither selling nor buying more. I invest for the long term and that is really what QPP is designed to help with. Over periods of less than a year, momentum tends to dominate--as I have discussed in some articles.

    Personally, I do my homework up front and then I tend to get in for the long haul. I do not try to time my major investments in terms of selling out when they are down. When I am adding money, I will use data such as these to help provide ideas for sectors to look at.

    The difference between under-valued and distressed is also apparent if you look at projected risk levels...

    Geoff,
    Thank you for your uniquely academic approach. Can you be more specific in the length of the trailing time frames you use? As well, how often you look to make a change to a long term portfolio if a sector has just become a lead anchor? As you mention there is a difference between undervalued and distressed so when are you making your decision and acting upon it?

    Thanks,

    Jonathan     Reply

    Ben:

    Good question. I would say that this could be one data point among several. Buying individual stocks means that you have a specific view of a firm and want to own it. I would never do so just on the basis of QPP. I would also want to consider default risk via the tails--see my articles on this. Underpriced can also mean 'distress.'

    Geoff,

    Great article. I am curious - do you think that this strategy of using QPP's future projections to help predict sector performance can be used with individual stock picking? For instance, if a stock has been performing poorly and QPP predicts a significant increase in return, is that perhaps a signal that the stock is a good buy?

    Thanks,
    Ben     Reply
