“A correction is a wonderful opportunity to buy your favorite companies at a bargain price.

“A correction is a wonderful opportunity to buy your favorite companies at a bargain price.” [Wiggin Sessions] August 22, 2022 Fear Not, Buy Good Stocks… Cheap! “A correction is a wonderful opportunity to buy your favorite companies at a bargain price.” – Peter Lynch [Addison Wiggin]Dear Reader, During a recent stop off in Baltimore, our founder and my erstwhile writing partner, Bill Bonner, asked his closest friends – and the sharpest minds in the Agora universe – two simple questions: What is the state of the world right now? And what are you doing with your own money? This week we’ll give you the responses we think provide the most insight, so you can avoid rash decisions and forge a judicious, tempered strategy through what promises to be turbulent markets this fall. You’ll recognize most of the names in what we’re calling “[Bonner’s Private Briefing](... Jim Rickards, Rick Rule, Porter Stansberry to name three. Some of their analysis is urgent and dire or what Barry Ritholz once called at our Vancouver conference… “Doom Porn.” Others, like today’s focus, maintain a lighter step. First up, Chris Mayer, portfolio manager at Woodlock House Family Capital. His thesis: Fear not the markets. Pick good stocks. “With all dips like this people get overly fearful,” Mayer comments. “If you look back over time, they just kind of fade away in the little dips on the long-term chart.” [chart] S&P 500 Index - 90 Year Historical Chart Mayer continues: I was looking the other day at the S&P and even the 2008, 2009 crisis, which was awful to live through, is just a little dip on a line. The S&P itself is up 5x from then even now, correcting for the 20% drop. This outlook takes “thinking macro” literally. We’ve discussed stoicism before… maintaining a cool head amidst chaos and concern. Let’s push back against Mayer a tad. Is it right to discount recessions entirely – highlighted in gray in the chart above – and still “buy the dips”? Isn’t inflation a real threat? Yes, a rising tide lifts all boats, but what of the purchasing power of the dollar itself? If the dollar is worth less, then a higher price, in the long run, is worth less, too. To put it bluntly… aren’t we just drowning? Mayer addresses this concern directly: One of the things I've learned in my nearly thirty years of investing is that when you have times like this, buy the best stuff. I remember 2008 when the market was cut in half, and there were all kinds of stocks you could have bought for trading at cash, or very low multiples earnings. Those generally weren't the best investments, actually. The best investments were to go and buy the best companies and the companies that you always wanted to own but were too expensive. So, if you would've bought a MasterCard or Visa in 2008, held it, you've done phenomenally well. These are the kinds of stocks I'm looking at. Maybe not drowning… treading, and getting tired. I admire Mayer’s sentiment, and think his outlook is apt for the moment. “Buy the business,” Buffet would say “not the price.” The idea is that a good company has a strong “internal engine” firing and firing through recession. Chugging along. Mayer again: I know for a lot of people, it's hard because they take their cues from stock prices. But if you really pay attention to what's going on in the business, you'll see that they just get more appealing as they come down in price. And people don't realize how quickly valuations come in. Don't let the bear markets shake you out. This is the time to really pay attention. This is the time when you really want to find opportunities. The markets opened down this week as last week’s rally waned. Day by day the media heralds a rally. Then laments a recession. Then gasps at new inflation numbers. A rising tide. A receding wave. A riptide. Meanwhile, we wait for volatility in the markets to subside, and take a page from Mayer’s book by holding on to or looking for new good companies. One thing we can guarantee for this week, the media is going to be all lathered up by the Fed as central bankers descend on Jackson Hole, Wyoming for their annual confab.

So it goes, [Addison Wiggin] Addison Wiggin Founder, The Wiggin Sessions P.S. If you haven’t seen the following chart already, it’s worth a look. It overlays the S&P 500 from the past two years with a similar period of time in 2006-2008 leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. Once volatility does subside and we get a clear trend, we may not like its direction: [chart] If history rhymes, as they say, we’re in for a doozy of a fall, early-winter trading environment. All the more reason to heed Mr. Mayer’s advice from above. Buy good stocks, cheap. P.P.S. Rather than launch ad hominem attacks on Fed Chairman Powell leading up to and following his remarks at Jackson Hole this week, we prefer to focus on what you can do with your investments now and in the months ahead. After all, suggesting Chairman Powell is behind the eight-ball on fighting inflation… or the Fed is using the wrong model to forecast the government goosed post-pandemic economy… or they let “mission creep” – full employment and climate change – get the better of them, well, that would just be rude, wouldn’t it? --------------------------------------------------------------- This is the new normal… [Click here to learn more]( A strange phenomenon is ‘distorting’ America’s financial system. If you listen to the mainstream media, you’d think a new crash is imminent. But today, former Goldman Sachs Managing Director Dr. Nomi Prins is coming forward with a different kind of prediction. “We are about to see a crisis like nothing we’ve ever seen before. It won’t be like the crashes we saw in 2000… 2008… or even 2020. In fact, the next crisis won’t be a crash at all.” – Nomi Prins It has nothing to do with a pandemic, or inflation, either, but “Americans who are hoping for a return to ‘normal’ are about to be left behind by a new reality.” If you have more than $1,000 in the bank, this could be the most important interview you see in the next 60 days.
