This Time It's (NOT) Different

Sven Carlin gave a quick breakdown of where we are in the big market cycle:

  • We’re somewhere between Delusion and “New Paradigm.”

  • Analysts expect corporate earnings to grow almost 50% in the next few years

  • Corporate margins are near their all-time peak

  • What usually follows is a bubble burst

  • Treasuries still make more sense here at 4.33% yield than overvalued companies like Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla

  • As a value investor, you must look out ten years from today—until 2035.

  • Every decade has challenges, from inflation to war a lousy economy and pandemics. The 2030s will be no different; new challenges will still exist.

  • In summary—this time is NOT different.

  • The key to value investing is to invest for the ten-year scenario in which the market flops, but your stocks are still okay.

  • For example, the economy slows down, inflation continues, interest rates stay high, etc., but food producer ADM is still protected against inflation, and strong demand for their product, along with a hefty dividend, will almost certainly continue.
