How is Investing a Lot like Fishing? - Contrarian Investors


A FEW TESTIMONIALS

"The research performed by Port Wren Capital has allowed me to invest into the stock market comfortably and profitably. The difference between most services and Port Wren Capital is that they are only providing research and not handling my money in the market." Josh B.

"I agree, Top Pick for 2016 and beyond." Leo B.   

"The drastic drop in oil must be forcing some firms to liquidate other positions, good positions, like being long BHI. Down here at $47.80 is a true gift. I'll be buying more if it remains this low." Tony M.

"THE best article on GILD in a long time!!!" Charles V.

Most good fishermen will tell you if you want to catch the best fish you have to use the right bait and pick the right location. And if you think about investing, there are a lot of similarities. To catch a good stock, you have to know what technique to use and where to find it.

The S&P500 is made up of large market capital companies and they are all profitable. Those reason themselves are why the mass majority of people want to buy and own those companies. And that thinking is sound based on its own merits. However, they are already very efficient stocks. Meaning, there are a very large number of analyst already covering them. These numerous analysts have done a good job of projecting their results going forward and communicating that information to the entire investment community. For example, Google (GOOGL) is being covered by 46 analysts; Amazon (AMZN) is covered by 39 and Home Depot (HD) by 31. Thus, there is little guess work for the investor. Now granted, the majority of retail investors like that. But, there is a down side to this thinking. This leaves virtually little to no room for a much of a price spread or variance to which to earn a large profit. For example, for Google’s second quarter of 2016, the EPS estimates were $8.04 vs. the actual EPS of $8.42 giving you only a 0.38 difference.

In contrast, the Russell2000 is made up of small market capital companies most of which do not turn a profit and have more than their fair share of financial ups and downs. These smaller firms tend to have much fewer analysts covering them. For example, Waterstone Financial (WSBF) has absolutely no analyst covering it what so ever. Yet, it hit a new 52-week high on August 18, 2016 reaching a peak of $16.90. More importantly, had you bought it back in September of 2014 for $10.39 you would be looking at a 62% gain today. What most retail investors, the mass majority, don’t realize is these small capital companies may offer more opportunity for a much wider spread that may put much higher returns in their pockets over time.

The outliers, that is the minority of retail investors or contrarian investors on the other hand. Tend to see this location as it were a much better one for finding the best fish. This location is more fruitful of an area to which to cast your bait compared to the S&P500 where everyone goes fishing for the more popular fish. And as most people know, good fisherman won’t disclose their best fishing hole to anyone.
