"When growth goes wrong it looks ugly". 100% agree. Thanks for your perspective as always!

[@mantasbraziunas4295]

Sven, thanks for the good content. What I like best is when you analyze specific stocks from a value investing perspective. If someone doesn't understand it, then they don't understand the risk - reward concept. I'm 37 years old, the crisis of 2008 cheered me up so much that after the blood bath I sold everything, paid the down payment for my apartment. I got back into the game only a few years ago, I've already paid off the loan, and now I only follow a value investing philosophy. None of them will accept it until they experience a serious recession and panic. Until then, we are all immortal and financial geniuses. Please continue these videos, 15-20 min., with specific examples, analysis, and value investing foundational statements, it is fun to meditate on them regularly. The US market is overvalued, it would be great if you could created more content on European exchanges. For example, a year ago you discussed Brembo NV, now the company is down 30%, it looks like a good option for value investing.

[@Nufaa2]

Impressed by the patience and restraint Sven. For people out of their 30s some of us can remember comments about how Buffet is outdated and has lost his touch. This has been going on a long time. Funny we can't remember any of those people's names. I love your willingness to be that bearer of the message no one wants to hear. It makes your channel my favorite investing channel

[@mjs28s]

"some of us can remember comments about how Buffet is outdated and has lost his touch" Based on what? Because Berkshire is so large that they have very limited investment options that they can utilize? Berkshire can't even bother with anything under a multi-tens of billion dollar investment and even the smallest investment that they could make that would matter would literally buy out hundreds of companies outright.

[@Nufaa2]

@@mjs28s I didn't make the comments, so not sure what point you are responding to

[@TheBullRunb1]

I've only been on my investment journey for 4 years but what I've seen in my travels is that you really have fewer "value investors" then investors think there are. Everyone is a value investor when the market is booming but when the market or companies in the market fall 50% some of those so called "value investors" become afraid. Its fascinating to hear the stories about other bubbles then now that we are in one to see investors act exactly the same. All you have to do is read a few books to know what's happening. Great video Sven! Keep up the good work.

Hey Sven, thank you for your great videos. I am a Tesla shareholder (no a fanboy), I bought into the company back in 2019 so you can imagine I enjoyed a solid 10x. But, I didn't sell at the high and thus lost a good portion of the gains while I actually sold a portion at a 5x gain. I've started to move my money into more stable business with clearer compounding potential. I appreciate your videos as I am still trying learning how to choose these companies.

Sven, I am a subscriber to your videos from about a year and I have to say that this is one of the few comments that I am writing in KZbin. I think that very few people are ready to do their own research and are willing to have a different view on the US stock market and value investing. I believe you produce quality analysis in every video that I have listened. It is evident that you are great investing professional and I honestly believe that in our "trend world", contrarian investors like yourself will be able to find 10 baggers in the long term more easily, compared to the generic approaches (blindly following short term trends). Keep up with the good work!

My favourite KZbinr. Every time I feel like throwing in the towel to give up value investing I watch this channel for comfort.

Hi Sven, what do you think about investing in RSP, the S&P 500 equal weghted etf? It has outperformed the market cap weighted S&P 500 over the last 20 years and even 50 years (backtested). I think because of small size and value factor. Its kind of anti- bubble, because it rebalances each quarter and takes speculative return of the table. What is your meaning?

[@styx814]

It's been a while since you looked into Brazilian market. Huge, mostly stable country, no serious geopolitical issues, gets on with both US and China, young fast growing population similar to India, one of the largest and diversified commodities exporters. Stock market looks pretty cheap - not as cheap as China but nowhere as crazy as India. I'm a regular visitor in Brazil and what I see gives me confidence this is one of the future markets. By the way, I always recommend investors into EM to visit the countries you investing, try products, witness the reality on the ground - not just from newspapers. It gives you confidence in your investments. Ambev in particular looks pretty attractive to me: stable dividend currently at 6.8%, growing revenues and earnings, stable growth in free cash flow. Guarana is more popular than Coke there - huge moat as they own most of the popular brands in Brazil. 12 PE and the stock is down 70% from its all time highs as is most of Brazilian market. Many companies paying above 5-10% dividends. Also, would be interesting if you could talk in more detail about USD and EM correlation as expensive USD seem to be one of the biggest issue for EM stocks. Thank you. Love your videos!

[@TheRustyLM]

Great episode! I heart Sven’s sarcasm. Surprisingly fluent👍 And great shirt. European styles over USA, for sure.

[@TidusVen]

Great video Sven. Maybe what value investing is missing is a shift in investor sentiment: for most value companies, the numbers are there (growth of revenues, earnings, dividends, ...). Similar to what you said, I think some people don't research enough and tend to invest their money in companies they don't have to "get to know that well". And I think this is why we see companies like NVIDIA, Tesla, Apple making new 52 week highs every month. I don't think we can control investor sentiment, so we have to keep putting cash in sound businesses and wait. It usually pays-off, as I have seen with META: a pessimistic 2022 (the company will lose to Tik-tok and die) and an exuberant 2023 (the company is dirt-cheap). All it takes is research, conviction/patience and consistency.

The S and P 500 historical mean PE is 16.00. It's currently 27.43. The market is overvalued fueled by exuberance. The Wall St rug pull is coming. People should go more cash heavy and wait for the pull backs whilst simultaneously investing in only great businesses and not great meme stocks.

Question: Do you think the amount of money boomers and Gen X has poured into the market impacted price? I foresee I boom then a crash once all the boomers retire and flood the markets with money, however, after these companies expand they will have to contract to the market now that boomers who hold roughly half of the US wealth are no longer in the market (I.e., the crash). Is this plausible in your view are just simply just silly economics fan fiction?

[@steventaylor6027]

Any reason to believe that the P/E of stocks must stay constant over time? Is it possible that $1 of earnings should actually cost more in 2024 than it did in 1950?

[@BarsonlineOrg2013]

We will see....don't forget, that there are two variables in PE (Price & Earnings). It can be that the Earnings will grow fast and the S&P 500 will double by 2030. Of course this growth would be completely financially engineered, since it would not consider inflation. Inflated earnings is the instrument how the FED can betray the economic forces and created an earnings bubble. It is still possible, but the risk is alot bigger, then for normal productive growth e.g. in China.

Great video. Investors no longer take starting valuations into account. The expectation is that 30-40% returns will arrive irrespective of what the starting value is. Thanks Fiscal and Monetary policy for detaching asset valuations from fundamentals.

[@aman101112]

If history is any guide, you (and other value managers) will end up on the right side. Or we are living in a new paradigm where businesses are valued based on how much they can excite investors rather than how much they can earn. That paradigm poses some other very interesting societal challenges. Society and money are deeply interlinked and if you distort one, you distort the other. So this will be a fun ride.

[@Snowfire96]

@Sven even tho all the points you mentioned are basically right, there is one thing which makes emerging markets a gamble and not an investment. It is the right of legitimate ownership as a shareholder. Buying chinese stocks as a foreigner is more like buying contracts which the chinese government officially does not even recognise as according to laws. If China should ever attack Taiwan or just wants to f*** with the western world it will terminate those nearly worthless contracts for good. I still liked the video :).

[@ljragsandfeathers]

This is exactly what makes me bullish on China right now. They are in a major crisis and because the government is on the hook for most of the real estate fiasco their hands will be tied to prioritize the economy and keep their natural imperialism in check. They won’t want to rock the geopolitical boat too much until they can lock it down. As Charlie Munger once said, ‘follow the incentives’. The incentives just aren’t there to attack Taiwan right now. Maybe in 5-10 years, but not now. Besides, how can they galvanize their poverty-stricken citizens on mainland China to support their unnecessary war even as they cut off the Western hand that feeds them? It wouldn’t be wise on the domestic front, either. They can’t really pull off another Tiannamen Square and they know it.

[@TheScaryGermanGuy]

Have you looked at EPAM, Sven? Couldn't find any video from you about it. It's an IT company trading near 2020 covid levels. Since the stock tanked they started to repurchase shares. Maybe a good example for how to do it, compared to Apple. 🙂

US markets are so expensive, and I see some problems in the near future. I learned in my four years of investing that one should be buying when everybody is selling and selling when everybody is buying. So I sold or more frequently trimmed my positions this year, because there are many many overvalued stocks right now after this latest rally, and just took some profits on those stocks that were too expensive to risk being almost 100 % invested, especially in those. That's what that guy in the comments was asking I guess. So... Yes, risk-reward. Buy low, sell high (or not sell at all and that's it). Value investing. Thanks!

[@Metal_Stacking]

My value portfolio with a 5.5% yield has been flat for over 3 years. I own more shares with drip. I just keep telling myself it will work out. Time will tell but it definitely bothers me. My smaller value/growth portfolio is up 50% in same time frame. I have noticed when the mega caps drop my value portfolio goes up. So it gives me some piece of mind that if the bubble pops my portfolio might do well. At least my real estate is up 40-50% over the last 3 years. Gold and silver has done well also.

[@ussul6524]

2:55 Sven, the sea of stocks when one is up and other is down lets the investors to pick a good company. Even you sometimes you say it is under valuated by stock market for some reason. Then sell in a year or sooner bc it got 40% or more up. Then pick another, and so on. This is also investment strategy. I clearly do not understand your strategy bc you are saying I buy and hold forever - no exit.

Sven, I think it's impossible to time the market, and that there are always some good company / ETF at a reasonable price (even in a 03/2000 environment).

Great video. Buffet always has cash, in 2006 he had 46 billion or so but the lowest he went from what I can find is around 24 billion in 2007-2008 so not even 1/2 was deployed, in 2020 he went from 146 billion before COVID to 106 billion so not even 1/3 was deployed. He always adds more cash over time as well, maybe some balance with his investments, or as he thinks risks rise over time since the last economic cycle or maybe due to risk of taxation, he specifically talked about risk of rising US taxes in the future in the last talk he had. I think overall it is a mistake to think that Buffets 200 billion cash right now is a bet not-on the USA as he has 800 billion invested in the USA so if anything it is a hedge or a war chest combination of some sort.

I do agree with the principles of value investing. What I do not agree with is how you assess value. You simply look at the P/E and if it is 'low' you buy then sell when the P/E is high. That is NOT value investing. That is trading. Even deep value investor Ben Graham was willing to buy high P/E and hold for long-term if the fundamentals remain strong (Geico). But during his time, buy and hold businesses were rare and it was not unusual for businesses to get disrupted and go bankrupt. As Professor Aswath Damodaran says, P/E only shows relative price but durable cashflows determine value.

Hi Sven. Many people in the comments can’t see the risks, if they are investing less then 7-8y and it is not their retirement money they will need in the next 10-15y. Seen like this many start and do mistakes and have luck plus have in the last 10-15y (since bigger and longer crisis 2008-2009) rising stock markets in the US. The money most of the people accumulated till now is practically a high risk investment, that is in such a rising phase nearly safe. So for them Your safe handling is not logical, but I guess the money You invest is Your working capital, that has in future the function as retirement money. Theoretically a major cycle should end soon and give us soon stagnation and falling share prices. But times are mad and it’s wise to bet safe ;) Why rely on luck when it can be done clever…

I would add one more point which is net worth at risk. Many people commenting on missing NVIDIA or micro or the next hot stock may have participated but with only a fraction of their net worth. It's very easy to buy a few shares (1-2%) in a 100k portfolio but it is very different to deploy 10%+ towards an idea. That is conviction. I am sure there will be some people posting here that did so but those will be in the minority. Can you invest 80%+ of your liquid net worth and sleep well at night?

[@thetjt]

I've invested half of net worth and feel still a bit uneasy, even though 25% invested is in medium term bond funds and the rest in equity etfs with some geographical distribution. I think most investing world talking heads are completely detached from normal life when their usual advice is to invest close to 100% of your wealth. Yeah, 50% down doesn't really hurt a multimillionaire, and much easier to keep calm head vs gambling with retirement savings. Even value investments can go down a lot when times get really tough... the only real hedge is money, I believe. Probably gold as well.

Quite good margins, low debt, dividend yield is low OK. Would love to hear your opinion. Not necessary a video analysis, just quick opinion in a comment.

[@bernfar82]

The US market is trending at a high PE. This only means that investing in an SPY will probably be effected by a market crash due to its high PE. Still, it is the average PE and one can find some US companies which will still do good even after a crash - but you must wait for a 50% downfall and you must have the stomach not to sell. You should have the courage to buy when the value of the stock market is low. Cash is not king when you have 0-3m treasury funds with a 5.5% return (SGOV). I sold half of my stocks a year ago and purchased treasury bills. The other half are still in stocks with 50% US, 40% China and 10% elsewhere. Investing in the US only is risky as well.

Not quite, many of these value investors buy companies that are not growing at all or even shrinking because they are “cheap”

[@eco-enjoyer]

Right? I buy when I see value AND growth opportunity. Buy NVDA when it's $10/share. Not today. Buy META when it's $90. Not today. Buy them today, and the risk is huge.

[@steventaylor6027]

@@eco-enjoyer ironically NVDA is probably cheaper now than it was when the share price was $10

[@arkiki2717]

Maybe focusing on free cash flow and dividend yields misses the bigger picture that companies at the top of the markets (Mag7) may simply create more value for their shareholders reinvesting into their own operations through opex and capex than by focusing on cash generation and distribution. Maybe they are the new value stocks in a way, being able to compound in new ways (through internal value accretion rather than through capital distribution), and building on their moat to disrupt older business models / sectors? Even Berkshire went from picking buts to investing in great businesses at a fair price!

Thanks for the update. I bet those Primetime token holders aren't too worried about the markets.

Seems to me that staying faitful to a school of investing is the hard part for the majority of average investors. Value investing works, trading works, daytrading also works for some people. How well we understand and act within a frame is the key. If you are good at "hit and run" why not, and if you are good at value investing the same.

Just buy Berkshire when stocks are expensive and buy VWCE when Sp500 falls 50 percent

[@surajsajeev1988]

What was the forecast future returns of SP500 7 years ago?

[@CraigTaggart]

thanks Sven excellent review about value and current state of the market. Completely agree with compounding as we have been very fortunate to have been with Google since 2007. This is not the time to chase technology as most of these AI companies on the venture side will fail in the first year. Nvda cant keep the market and AI story chasing up forever.

[@yoantorres1099]

Sven now criticizes Cathy, but he even bought Baidu just because she bought it. I used to be in his platform.

[@Value-Investing]

not correct!

"Now I don't have Tesla fan boys in the comments." Classic!

There’s no one right way to invest, otherwise all of us would be successful. I think different markets warrant different approaches. In a bull market, value is okay but momentum stocks will be better. Or you can put all your money in the bank, never good!

thanks for commenting!

If you are searching return, Deep Value is a total mess. Low IRR and low MoM for long term periods. Other thing is seeking value approach in high liquidity stocks.

Well, I thought your last video made sense.. it sounds like people were insulted by not backing the US all the time.

[@karsinds]

I'm 100% value investor. I can't buy, literally, stocks or indexes with high multiples. I'ts like going to a store and buy discounted stuff and bargains instead of over expensive things.

[@Metal_Stacking]

80% of the market is owned by institutions. The institutions decide what stocks will be over or under valued. Most likely the reason politicians have the best returns.

[@MLogVideo]

The reason value investing can fail is that it is rarely a scalable and non-cyclical investment. In addition, entry barriers are low without a monopoly.

[@lareau6]

Can berkshire really use all that cash should the opportunities arise or is it needed for the insurances businesses?

[@Value-Investing]

just $20 to $30 billion is for insurance needs

[@thedude121212]

Amazing content, thank you.

[@AlejoFG2012]

Hi Sven. Can you do an update on Cisco stock now that is has come down to $46. Is it back to value?. Regards.

[@Value-Investing]

thanks for suggesting!

[@ShortsChanel7]

The tokenomics and use case for Primetime token protocol is fantastic!??

[@BAM1968a]

In it's current form AI is reaching it's limits. Think about that and the effect that's going to have on AI stocks.
