Course Overview • Big picture cycles • Changing your approach • Trends & phase analysis • Profitable price patterns • The key fundamentals that work • Establishing portfolios & managing investments • Investing where the money is • Predominantly resources • Ongoing information & monitoring
Investing Success in Overview • Discard all your reference points & preconceptions about what should be • Tap into the big picture cycles • BRIC economies to surpass the 6 largest western economies by 2030 • Wear a different thinking hat / changing perspective • Stay ferociously focused on your plan • Shut out media noise & public opinion • Stunning results are possible with low activity • Cultivate • Patience • Resilience • Discipline
How Do Most Invest? • Hand-over responsibility to others • Diversification • Nice mix of boat anchors, average performers & a few good performers at the periphery • This approach just says you have not done your homework sufficiently to have confidence in your judgement • Complain about the outcome • Fund managers will always produce mediocre results partly because we have forced them into a corner
Big Picture Cycles • Next 10 years is the best opportunity to create substantial wealth you will ever see • Global recovery • Central Bank stimulus / inflation • China & India growth & industrialisation • All points to ongoing commodity demand • Supply will catch up in bulk commodities but some will struggle to meet demand for many years to come • We will get 20% to 30% corrections along the way
The Resources Super Cycle • We are closer to the start than to the finish • Producers are highly profitable already so commodity prices don’t need to keep rising, but some will • Analysts long term commodity forecasts woefully low so current share prices are not factoring in upside,eg RIO at only 8 times 2012 profit. The market has got the pricing of the majors very wrong • Emerging producers still very cheap & prices will rise substantially as the good projects are de-risked
The Resources Super Cycle KEY POINTS ! • We don’t need higher commodity prices for stock prices to rise substantially. • We just need commodity prices to stay where they are for a while and analysts to wake up • The M & A cycle is just getting started because there is huge value for the majors to be buying the mid-tiers
Your Big Picture Plan • This depends on you but ……. • 25% pa after tax return is achievable if you stay focused on your plan • What does this represent over the next decade for you? • There is no question the opportunities are there • How well can you focus on this task for the next 10 years? • All you need is 1 hour per week unless you wish to do the research yourself
What Do You Need to Do? • Give up following the news to invest • Look at 2008 & March 2009 • Those who followed the news missed a magnificent opportunity • Follow the smart money • Ignore daily fluctuations & focus on the trends & patterns that tell us what is coming • Be prepared to actively manage • Be prepared to reduce exposure when necessary • Adopt a quite different mindset to trading & to “normal” investing. Don’t think - just look
What Do You Need to Do? • Avoid the following • holding onto losing trades that continue to decline in price • buying more shares to lower your average entry price, so your risk is now much higher • getting “married” to an investment idea or specific stock so that you cannot see reality • feeling like a loser if you do sell and then the share price rises
What Do You Need to Do? • Realistic expectations when you get this right • 80% positive investment outcomes • 20% negative outcomes (max 50% loss) • This requires • Strict selection criteria on fundamentals • Patience to wait for great opportunities • Courage to execute when the time is right • Courage to not be put off by group thinking when times are uncertain • Continued focus on the big picture
What Makes a Good Investment • Great management • ROE% & track record • Strong earnings history • 3 year average EPS • Cheap • PEG less than 1.0 • Easily manageable debt
What Makes a Good Investment In the right sector for the next 2 to 5 years minimum Dividends ?? SGP, BSL, AMC, WES, ARP, FGE, MCE
The Concept of Trends Higher highs & higher lows = uptrend Only invest with the trend Sector divergence Phase analysis
Phase Analysis • The 4 phases of every market & stock price • Prices fluctuate constantly from overly expensive to overly cheap • Prices are rarely fair value • How to accurately determine the phase as an investor • Angle & direction of the 150 day moving average • Relationship of price to the moving average
Phase Analysis • How to fine-tune your selections & entries • Identify the strongest sectors in a major correction or bear market • Identify the strongest stocks in those sectors • Buy the dips
Our Methodology • Research on the fundamentals • Simple 5 point formula for profitable businesses • Checklist for emerging resource companies • Place into a watchlist • Identify the patterns that are high probability for a positive uptrend
Entry Signals • When to enter • Breakout from phase 1 • Confirmation that the first pause or correction in phase 2 is probably complete • Increasing volume is almost always important • How much to buy • Use a set dollar amount between 3% and 8% • 10% into any single investment maximum
Exit Technique • Triggers • Break of major support • Break and close below 30 week moving average for a period of 4 consecutive weeks (exercise a little discretion on this) • Lower highs and lower lows on weekly chart • Change in the fundamentals of the sector or specifically the company • The start of a significant correction
A Bear Market Significantly reduce exposure Hedge remaining exposure Short sell the sectors at risk
Where are Markets Now? • After a big mid cycle crash, the market does not crash again • Almost always we see a rally of 1 to 2 years and then a trading range • This is what happened 1937 – 38 rally and 1973 – 74 rally • This rally started March 2009 so ……….. • The first part of the trading range could still be a decline of 25%
Establishing the Portfolio • Diversification across the entire market is a grossly flawed approach • It indicates lack of effective research or recognition of the patterns • However we do want some diversification within our chosen sectors • Our primary aim is to identify as close to the start of a major run as we can with the lowest degree of risk • Missing the first bit is irrelevant if we have stronger confirmation that move is underway
Establishing the Portfolio • Recommended approach • Establish a core portfolio in great stocks & hold them unless the fundamentals change • Actively manage the other portion by taking profits when prices reach extremes of overbought • Re-load on significant dips or the bottom of a trading range • You may take 6 months to build your portfolio
Establishing the Portfolio • Quick exercise • Size of your investment funds • Desired number of positions to manage • Based on 12 to 15 investments are parcel sizes large enough to support a core holding and a more active portion • What management routine can you EASILY commit to
Investing Where the Money Is? • This is still the early stages of a commodity super cycle • Urbanisation & industrialisation of China / India is unstoppable • Central Bank policy creates inflation of hard assets
Investing Where the Money Is? • Buying commodities stocks now is similar to buying stocks in early 1990’s • Dow had nearly quadrupled from 1987 to be at 3000 points and many thought it was over, but ….. • Quadrupled again in next 9 years
The Case for Precious Metals • This is a simple question of supply and demand and does not require speculation for gold & silver to rise in price • Supply is relatively fixed • Demand is increasing quickly on numerous fronts
The Case for Gold • Supply side • Mine output flat for 7 years, the easy gold has been found • Mine grades are slowly decreasing globally • Miners stopped forward selling • Central Banks changed from sellers to buyers (Asian governments very low % of foreign reserves) • Demand rising quickly • As an investment alternative to fiat currency instability via physical ownership & ETF’s • A more affluent Asian middle class
The Case for Gold • Facts on China & gold • Largest gold producer but still imported 6.7 million oz in first 10 months of 2010 which was 5-fold increase over 2009 imports • It’s not jewellery, it’s investment demand • Retail ownership now being heavily promoted in a regular savings scheme with projections to reach 10% of global production • India & China demand together = 50% global production
The Case for Gold • On top of the physical demand • US dollar falling so gold must rise • Inflation is developing • The takeover trend is in full swing • Gold bars very hard to get • The companies • Too numerous to list • We are utilising an extensive database to get the real facts on what is good and what is hype
The Case for Silver • Supply / demand situation even worse than gold • Total value of global market is only $33 billion • Industrial uses expanding rapidly and in most of them the price of silver is irrelevant so much higher prices will not tend to destroy demand • Unlike gold much of production is consumed • Making a comeback as a form of money • Supply side • 25% shortfall to mine production so balance has been coming from scrap but those sources are rapidly declining
The Case for Silver • Price momentum • Technically $41 to $50 is the all-time peak • Estimates beyond $100 on traditional gold / silver ratios are not unrealistic • The companies • Silver has been a by-product but that may change • Limited plays that are majority silver producers • CCU, AYN, BHP, CJO, SLW
The Case for Copper • The essential base metal & barometer of economic activity, especially urbanisation • it is a forward predictor of economic activity • There is little direct substitute • Price has recovered 350% from GFC without the big drivers of US housing and autos • China now at major inflection point in demand • This is where demand really accelerates • RIO said it expected global copper consumption over the next 20 to 30 years to exceed the total historical consumption to date.
The Case for Copper • Supply • Where is the massive supply response that normally goes with highly profitable commodity prices? • Deficit of new major mines on horizon • Demand is rising so quickly that small mines can’t bridge the gap • Takeovers • The same story here where takeovers are highly attractive to the bigger players • This ensures a supply squeeze because that just rearranges the deck chairs in production
The Case for Copper • The companies • Mid-tier producers like PNA, EQN • Small producers like ABY, SRL • Developers like DML, TGS, SFR, RNI
The Case for Energy • Oil • Peak oil is here now or close by • LNG • Just had a massive lift because of Japan • Coal • Will continue to be base load • China electricity 80%, India 70%, US 50% • Uranium • Will remain part of the energy mix • It has to
The Case for Service Companies • The most reliable way to play the boom • Not the same massive upside as emerging resource projects but revenue streams & growth options are strong • Still huge variance in performance between the various players • ABARE projects $55 billion capex in mining industry
The Case for Service Companies • The companies • Large diversified players like LEI, MND, UGL • Smaller specialists like FGE, MCE, ASL, DCG
Buying Small Resources • There is a formula to drastically improve your odds of success • No substitute for backing the people • Size, grade & mineralogy of resource • Low quartile producer • Infrastructure • Funding arranged • Blue sky potential • Commodity demand / off-take agreements • Closer to production de-risks the project
Buying Small Resources • There is a price cycle as projects move through discovery to production • Important to understand how that cycle works • Plus the inevitable takeover potential
The Engine Room • The fundamentals • Stockdoctor scans • Industry knowledge • Selection panel agreement • The charting • Everything with merit lives in a dedicated watchlist • Entry points based on a combination of attractive valuation and technical rationale • Either entering at key support or on a signal that the move is underway
Ongoing Information • The services • Monthly video & written report • Monthly Q & A webinar • Members forum • Your task • Monitor your portfolio weekly • Digest the monthly video & report for new opportunities and active management actions • Ask questions via the webinar &/or forum
