The Stingy News Weekly: 10/07/2021 Stingy Links An obsession with money "Shelby Davis isn't a household name like Buffett but his investing track record is almost as impressive. Davis quit his job at age 38 in the late-1940s to become a full-time investor. His timing was impeccable as the stock market was about to enter one of the great bull markets of all-time. His timing was fortuitous but Davis was also a fantastic stock picker. Sticking mainly to insurance stocks, Davis managed to turn $50,000 in 1947 into $900 million by the time he passed away in 1994." [Buffett] The great book shortage of 2021 "The place where readers are most likely to find themselves in a crunch, though, is with surprise bestsellers. Every year, there are books that do much better than either publishers or booksellers expected them to and sell out their initial print runs. Normally when that happens, booksellers immediately order more books, and publishers are able to print those books and ship them out rapidly. In 2021, that's going to be a lot more difficult. If a publisher unexpectedly sells out of a book early, it may not be able to send new copies to bookstores until well into 2022." [Books] Craving risk or losing reward "Because even if we observed that the average investor allocation to stocks was at record highs, it wouldn't necessarily imply that investors were craving more risk. In fact, I'd argue that any change in aggregate allocations over the last few decades has little to do with changing risk appetites and everything to do with lower bond yields." [Markets] The days of cheaper rentals are over "Rents are up 9.6% nationwide in 2021, to an average of $1,649 a month, according to Dwellsy, which calls itself the largest rental housing platform in the country." [Real Estate] What to do about inflation "When seeking inflation protection in your portfolio, it is important to make the distinction between assets that hedge inflation (have returns that move closely with unexpected inflation) and assets that outpace inflation over the long term. If your goal is to fund short-term consumption that is tied to inflation, you will want to consider hedging assets. If your goal is to fund spending over the long term, investments that outpace inflation are more appropriate. And chances are you need some combination of both in your portfolio to help protect current consumption and long-term spending needs." [Markets] The robot behind the restaurant "'With three metres squared, we can serve 1.2k meals an hour,' says Richard. 'A traditional McDonald's restaurant is 125m2, and usually they can serve 550 meals an hour.'" [Tech] How quality works "The top decile of the value factor delivers returns through change in multiples. The companies have anemic asset growth, and profitability does not improve. But multiples do. This reflects our understanding of how value works. Low multiples often reflect poor earnings. But while earnings may continue to be poor, they are not as bad as was priced, so multiples improve." [Value Investing] S&P/TSX60 Value Screens
