Thanks Sven, i’m learning a lot from you, i like your channel, it’s not like those others with their BS charts. I invest a lot outside of The us, that’s because i can’t find valuations like tencent, baidu, jd, baba state side. Sure they got political risk, but i’m willing to take those risk with their valuation, it will all work out, ones the stocks in the us start to tank, people are going to run after stocks outside the us. So for now i’m accumulating while it’s cheap.
I like money market funds like SWVXX because they pay about 4.48% interest and you don’t have the same risk of the stock going down that you have with dividend stocks. I also like that you can take your money out whenever you want with not penalty. The main risk is the interest you earn can go down, but it won’t go negative.
Sven can you take a look at BMY. its down 50% since 2022. Typical stalwart stock with 6% dividend yield. Issues being the large debt and no/slow sales growth (turnover from legacy to new drugs). Guidance for 2024 was previously 7.1-7.4 non GAAP EPS was recently updated to $.4 - $.7 due to impairments and acquisitions... FCF/share ~ 6$ =~ 15% FCF yield.
Inflation according to the FED is almost 3%. But my 2016 eBay shopping list with more than 100 different types of products says it is close to 100% because all the prices were doubled. Of course, the FED removes absolutely everything that rises in price from the index. As Max Kaiser said: "the illusion of winning." Earn a lot of dollars, but a hamburger will soon cost 100. Regards.
can you review the rotation into to small caps that started last week. Typically when the fed starts cutting rates small caps have outperformed over the next 12 to 18 months on a historical basis/ thanks
The PE ratio analysis is a bit misleading. If you look under the hood of the S&P, the top 10 stocks are pulling the PE higher, the other 490 have reasonable valuation
@@eddy563 I think he looks hard enough for a living. And his objective is not to find "reasonably priced" businesses. His objective is to accumulate stakes in businesses yielding 10-15% through organic growth, dividends and buybacks. It is very hard to find that in the American large cap bubble.
The other 490 might do better than the inflated 10, or it could be that the digital monopolies and AI companies keep on "eating the world" and end up with triple the profits over the next 10 years while the 490, on average, get the crumbs. Imagine the 490 being the horse breeders, horse accessory makers, horse-based transport companies of the 1900.
The flat years are when most opportunities present themselves. They are also great periods for accumulating shares over time.... My main problem, again, is 30% tax on US earned dividends for Foreign Nationals. That makes me a very stringent person with regards to what yields are reasonable.
Don't know where you are located, but have you ever heard of the W-8BEN form? With this you can reduce the tax on US dividends to 15%. Some brokers like IBKR allow you to fill in the form online so there is no paperwork for you.
@@TheScaryGermanGuy Hi, thanks for the message. I am aware and filled a W-8BEN form. I am a Brazilian citizen. When I opened my account with the US brokerage firm, the form was one of the pre-requisites. It must have something to do with tax bilateral treaties between the US and Brazil. When I file my annual tax returns in Brazil I can offset part of those taxes paid in the US against the taxes I pay in Brazil (difference from 30% to 27,5%) and get those 2,5% as tax refund here.
@@theodoroseidler7072I am living in Poland. I pay 15% in both (for selling a stock and its dividends) it cames from USA. But in Brazil till 27% in bounds, also we do not pay tax on dividends or till 20k (in reais for selling a stocks). But Poland will make me pay 15% for these not paid stuff in Brazil anyway.

Great video yet again, but how would you invest with you pay 25% dividend tax (in the Netherlands). We have no capital gains taxes (yet), but I like my dividends coming in. A 6% dividend with a 25% tax is kinda hard or am I wrong?
As a great investidor said about Brasil: we have crisis every 2, three years and companies repasses inflation. We also pay a lot of dividends compared with other countries. So why I would put my money in USA? And I do agree. Although we have inflation and our money is highly dependent on how USA goes, usually we lose. This is passed over to the clients. And if you wait the peak of the dólar to put and the bottom of the dólar to take… 🤯 also, we have one of the highest righ return for government bounds. Because of the risk of money lose values. I would say: diversify. But remember emerging countries have a lot of room to grow. I am starting investing, slowly, and I can see a lot of my mistakes. For the moment I can really understand why Warren Buffett is choosing to wait!
One idea would be to buy Berkshire and let Buffett use his superior 15% tax bracket and reinvesting skill to compound for me and live off of capital gains :)
@@theodoroseidler7072 So what would a good price be? I bought several shares of BRK/B around $200 before Covid, but the stock has been moving too slow in recent years...

Strongman personal finance made a good rebuttal to this video on how you can still make money in a flat market by dollar cost averaging, you're making some assumptions that won't hold for most working people who constantly buying like clockwork.
Market caps are just too high. US companies are worth more than entire countries now, but the companies don't have anything new to offer. How many gadgets in our iphones do we need? How many ai chatbots? In the end of the day, the inventions of the past 10 years have been a busy, and nothing like the telephone, automobile, and similar things
The 2 have nothing to do with each other, they don't have to offer anything new to make money. Coke hasnt offered anything new since it's inception, coke is coke, however they still make a lot of money. The companies are worth more than countries because they have more money and power than some countries lol. A company like Meta or Google could completely destroy some countries from the inside out if they wanted to, one could argue they already have/do.
"Market caps are just too high. US companies are worth more than entire countries now," Ok, and.... Many companies based in the USA that are worth more than entire countries are also selling products and goods around the globe while some of the smaller market cap countries aren't. Some are run by dictators that steal from their own people and keep them in poverty. Finally - those companies are literally generating huge amounts of revenue and creating wealth for millions of people (direct stock owners and holders of ETFs, mutual funds, pension plans etc that hold shares) while some countries just don't have a GDP that can rival some of the largest companies on the planet. There is also nothing wrong with huge companies as long as trade with them is not forced or coerced. Nobody forces you to buy an iPhone; Nvidia data center servers, gpus, AI hardware etc; Microsoft's games, Xbox units, their online office tools or other software, team / project management tools, etc.

Hi Sven, can you make a video about Cheer Holdings, it would be interesting for you and for the audience. I don't think you analyzed such a company before.
Hi Sven, you talk many times about cyclical companies and commodity driven stocks. Could you have a look at BCC? It is a land and timber stock that I bought when I felt it was extremely undervalued some years ago... now, the stock price more than doubled but PE is still "low"... 11. Is this a case of a typical commodity play that you buy when PE is negative or very high? I like the fundamentals of the company and I bought because of it (good balancesheet, great FCF, low debt and selling at a decent price). I would love to see you doing a deep dive in this stock
A flat market is just a phrase or at best an observation. You should explain why the market is flat ? Lack of earnings growth ? Falling multiples overcompensating earnings growth ? Explain the mechanism behind the observable "flat market", then we can conclude what to do. You stay at the surface with your video, that does not exactly help our understanding. Do it like scientists: Observation-Explaining the mechanism as cause of the observation- conclusion.
@@user-nt5vk1is9t I am aware of the potential causes. I just say, the video is useless without discussing the causes, because you do not learn any applicable information based on which you can act.
We have different problem. People who stayed out of stocks or real estate last few years lost to much. They have only worthless money and treasuries which lost 2/3 of its value just in 5 years.
Idk where you live but that’s not the case here in the Netherlands. Housing shortage is increasing and will keep on increasing no matter which timespan you use
Not here where I live either. Prices went down just a little bit but shortage (also caused by mass migration) keeps prices steady. And now that fewer homes are built because of higher interest rates shortage will increase even more. So yes, buy, but not because it is cheap. Buy because it will get even more expensive.

Is this a case of a typical commodity play that you buy when PE is negative or very high? I like the fundamentals of the company and I bought because of it (good balancesheet, great FCF, low debt and selling at a decent price).
I would love to see you doing a deep dive in this stock
thanks for suggesting, can't make any promises
A flat market is just a phrase or at best an observation. You should explain why the market is flat ? Lack of earnings growth ? Falling multiples overcompensating earnings growth ? Explain the mechanism behind the observable "flat market", then we can conclude what to do. You stay at the surface with your video, that does not exactly help our understanding. Do it like scientists: Observation-Explaining the mechanism as cause of the observation- conclusion.
Dude you need to read more investing books , start with intelligent investor
I explained that in other videos, you have the links in the description of this video!
@@user-nt5vk1is9t I am aware of the potential causes. I just say, the video is useless without discussing the causes, because you do not learn any applicable information based on which you can act.
skip etf and mag 6 or go flat for several years
Thanks for sharing
We have different problem. People who stayed out of stocks or real estate last few years lost to much. They have only worthless money and treasuries which lost 2/3 of its value just in 5 years.
yes, but there were opportunities to buy stocks cheap and RE with no risk in the last 5 years, sometimes you have to act!!!
What about preferred shares trading below par and offering 8% dividends? PennyMac amber realty. JPM …
didn't analyze:-(
sometimes u read the questions in my mind and make a vid about it
:-)))
Fear mongering
value investing is about risk first, no matter whether you like it or not!
Dividends, coupons, buybacks.

Bonds were good during petrodollar. That is coming to an end.
that is true, but keep in mind this is 3 months
Look at real estate,nobody is buying now.
Prices are down 25% and you are able to buy quality atm...
Idk where you live but that’s not the case here in the Netherlands. Housing shortage is increasing and will keep on increasing no matter which timespan you use
depends on the return you get, compared to the price, i.e. mortgage
@@augustus331 Same here in Portugal. No supply and increasing long-term demand.
Not here where I live either. Prices went down just a little bit but shortage (also caused by mass migration) keeps prices steady. And now that fewer homes are built because of higher interest rates shortage will increase even more. So yes, buy, but not because it is cheap. Buy because it will get even more expensive.
first
