Podcast: Amid the Doom and Gloom, it's Time to Hatch a Strategy for Better Times

In this podcast, I expand on my latest Globe and Mail column, where I identify three reasons why investors should be looking beyond the doom and gloom: (1) stock and corporate bond valuations are very attractive, (2) investor sentiment is close to maximum bearishness, and (3) there’s a mound of cash building up on the sidelines. Investors need to put some perspective on the dire headlines. At some point, stocks and corporate bonds stop going down on negative news. They begin to look forward to better times ahead. It’s time to start preparing for the other side of the valley. Listen now (the file may take a minute or two to download).

Podcast: Fourth Quarter Review

2008 was an ugly year in the capital markets. In particular, heavy losses were experienced in the fourth quarter, as widespread de-leveraging and indiscriminate selling took place. Yet, every major market decline presents opportunities and investors should ensure their portfolios are well positioned for the 'other side of the valley'. In this podcast, we review the fourth quarter and provide our thoughts on the markets going forward.

Podcast: Warren Buffett's 2008 Annual Letter

In this podcast, we discuss Warren Buffett's recently published annual letter to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway. We posted a series of blogs last week on Buffett's recap of Berkshire's operations in 2008, and Tom's Globe and Mail column on the weekend highlighted some of the valuable perspectives and insights that make the letter unique. In this, our last posting on the topic (we promise), Tom explains what draws him to Buffett and why he commends his calmness, candidness and common sense approach toward investing. He also expands on Buffett's view that the investment world has gone from underpricing risk to overpricing it, among other observations.

Podcast: 2010 in Review

By Scott Ronalds 2010 was a good year for both stocks and bonds. Resource-focused and small-cap stocks saw sharp gains, and both the Canadian and U.S. markets turned in double-digit returns. European stocks struggled in comparison, however, due to the well-publicized headwinds in the region (i.e., debt problems). Bonds were once again popular, as investors were willing to pay a premium for safety and income, although their shine began to fade late in the year as interest rates began to rise. Our clients with a balanced asset mix experienced returns in the 9-10% range for the year, depending on their mix. In this podcast, we review the performance of our funds and highlight some of the key messages from our Quarterly Report. Download, subscribe via iTunes or RSS, or listen now:
