Economic Business Cycle Seguin-Associates Financial Services Ltd.
Problems With Financial Valuation • Stock Val data doesn’t have 2008 sector data - Based on 2007, nothing has changed except profit. 2008 was when deleveraging occurred. • Price to Book Ratios’ accuracy questionable
Industry Safety • Broad categories have performed worse than S&P 500 since 2006 • Individual industries may provide some safety • Individual companies have outperformed with respect to the market
Real Estate Woes • Estimated $3.3 Trillion loss to date • “mid-prime” loans are failing • Brought down Indy-Mac • Poses problems for insurance companies • US Banks hold ~ $800B • Commercial Real Estate is expected to decline in value
4Q08 SIM Activity • Sold Bank of America and Merrill Lynch • Purchased Wells Fargo • Recommended to hold underweighting at 200bps
Recommendations • Further underweight to a total of 150 bps • Reduces Exposure • Keeps the fund in the game when upside occurs
