Fund Manager:    crasch Inception:    Sep 23, 2001
Description:
The worth of a investment asset is determined by the present value of the distributable cash flow that the asset supplies to its owner. Companies that offer high net present values tend to have the following characteristics a) a large competitive advantage relative to their peers b) a history of increasing earnings and profits c) honest management who run the company with the shareholders in mind. Most of the time, the stock prices of such companies reflect their favorable characteristics, and are not particularly good investments. However, occasionally the market will undervalue such a company as an overreaction to unfavorable news (such as a poor product launch, for example). I try to find such companies. I expect my annualized returns to beat the S & P 500 (after subtracting fees) over the long term (10 or more years). However, in the short-term, I expect that the returns from my portfolio will be worse than S & P 30 - 40% of the time. I plan to remain fully invested--over the long term, the returns from stocks have beaten the returns from cash. Good bargains are difficult to find, so I don't limit the stocks I select by size or industry. However, I must understand the business and its industry before I will invest. Too much turnover will destroy good returns, so I plan to sell stocks only if a) substantive new evidence comes to light that my initial analysis of the company's prospects was wrong b) another company comes along that I believe offers a higher net present value for a better price. Initially, while I learn, most of my fund will be invested in "blue chip" stocks. While such stocks will likely not outperform the market, they will also probably not lose much money either.
