22 November 2016

Equities trading above our benchmark Risk Price (SF) are those liked by investors, as two of three

continue to price rise due to investors’ preference. These equities we call “likeables.” They are

revealed by their rise above Risk Price, our metric that investors must know to defend their capital1.

Cash must be engaged in the economy in business ideas with valiant balance sheets or it loses

value. That is simple fact. For small savings it is needful but arbitrary you feed at the low price end

of "likeables" we find in balance sheets. Equities that tend to hold their value and gain are better

than cash. Risk Aversion, Capital Safety and Liquidity in ‘likeables’ we prove works for you.

The US markets particularly well fed on Quantitative Eating courtesy of the Federal Reserve

suddenly lost their expectations. The markets are always expectant mooing for fodder. They got

pooped when the forced feeding ended, despite early Fed avuncular advice. Finally Fed rate rise

tentatively feels-out real recovery. Banks margin rise hinders2 the real economy, already sits on top.

Two and a half years late Uncle Draghi is now leading that charge to easing money market pain. Xi

and Putin are pondering how they will rule the mountains, valleys, even the Black and China Seas.

Saud and Khomeini divide the sands, as 3/4ths of mankind bow their heads to Abraham’s God.

Greek flirts with the dancing Bear brushing aside Merkel as the Euro banks ease pains. Christine

Lagarde has had a moral conversion and presses for some jubilee, before heading to court.

On years discussion the Financial Stability Board under Mark Carney has realized its remit and

declared risk models of deposit insured retail banking go back to the medieval3 era practice of

retaining more than 1/7th reserve4 for absorbing Bad Risks they have put on their ledgers with our

money. History proves that high reserves worked to prevent imprudent bank calamity. Meanwhile

our real economy is hard at its work to absorb their imprudences, exceed population growth and

save for a hopeful return. Consumers were demanding, firms were not reversing their balance sheet

cash loads to capital, capitalism. Firms that have not found their way to innovate, have chosen to

dispose rather than aggregate demand for more cash flow. At high cash and low interest rates many

chose to buy-back stock, propping price5 they can scoop their stock-options their moral hazard gets

bonused, again. The market mavens are always, ‘surprised’ yet again, it is their stock response.

The pundits’ paid-by-the-word business model wrote lots, but as gossips they never knew and never

do know, they are just highly motivated guessers. We have a guidepost, Risk Price (SF), we know

where we are, when and where to go. Know What You Have. Have What You Know.

In 2012 as open handed ‘Truth or Dare’ display of our methods we partitioned from then current

identified monthly crop of new ‘likeables’ from NYSE the Solo50KTM portfolio for a select group

of self-employed entrepreneurs. Solo-50K portfolio results in US tax law amendments6 to

encourage saving by the self-employed especially during years when their hay is high. We opted to

use only passive stoploss settings for capital safety rather than aggressive options that are normal to

our method. This Risk Price model of stock worth proves how robust our derived ‘likeables’ are.

22 November 2016

Many may recall the rightly famous Black Swan crying fowl on her fund managers three years ago.

We sent her a Tweet 15 April 2013 to calm her down to our methods. We introduced her to our

portfolio we called the Solo50KTM we had prior devised to help self-employed heroines in our

circle of readers. We can call it the BlackSwanTradingTM or, in all respect to Noriel Roubini,

perhaps a more topical name suits BloodySlowTradingTM counterpoints Wall Street Pumpers.7

Hans Goetze @HansGoetze Apr 15

@RealMilaKunis

Solo50Kportfolio:AIZ,AVY,BSX,CMA,DOW,GT,HCBK,LLTC,LNC,NBR,NYT,NYX,OR

CL,SYY,TE,TEX,TSN,UNM,WM=123.15%@19wks

Note Solo50KTM had already made a 23.15% gain in the prior ‘hot’ 19 weeks. So, we reset it as

BSTTM for Ms. Kunis. If Ms. Kunis was not just clawing air time dollars from her followers but

allocated BSTTM it has posted 62.25% gain since 15apr13, with NO CHANGES. That is

disregarding our stoploss settings that had kicked out all but 3 of the original 19 stocks in 26

months.

We prefer capital safety, from very slow trading. With risk averse stoploss settings (instead of

collaring options as we prefer)8 BSTTM as Solo50KTM had made a nice 103.58% in 30 months.

That was an annual 32.89% internal rate of return, well above our 12 year test on the DJI.

But wait, there is more to Solo50KTM. The original Solo50KTM had been sent prior to the

attention of a public service endowment frantic to rebuild its capital which had declined further

18% under ‘active management’ since the 2009 plunge. Their remit was threatened. They may wish

they had known sooner of our work based in our new theory of the firm that proves in real markets.

Quantitative Eating was an unusual time. Most everyone has forgotten the DJI was at 12966

03dec2012. That market growth rate out stripping GDP is not likely repeated as Draghi uses QE.

Conventional bleating of the ‘dollar-per-word” industry called 2014 too volatile and 2015 too lame,

to make money, for you. With our “likeables” you can save your own bacon. You have proof.

What proof does convention offer? Yup, that is an oxymoron. Convention is flat-landers in a global

reality. Fund managers are just used equities traders who know little more than pretense, for

unworthy fee-taking so that none is ever left for you. Do not give those

Artful Dodgers your wallet.

Financial industry advisors are schooled sellers of financial products to

exploit small investor savings for their taking fees9. They are not

changing their tools or sharpening those they have. They took the

“regular courses” required by a self-regulated industry driven only their

creative sales fiction10. Seemingly, certification requires intensive study

in the key tools of Rhetoric - Adumbration, Subterfuge, Mystification

and Derogation. Humm, that sounds familiar.

“I only took the regular courses,” sighed the Mock Turtle.

“What was that?” inquired Alice. “Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the

different branches of Arithmetic – Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”

The larger your “likeables” portfolio will tend to average 26% per annum Internal Rate of Return as

proven through the two recessions of the past 13 years. See our articles StockTakers’ 2012Q1 bite

on DJI11. and The Counter Culture: Case for a Can Opener12. Our work stands on giants, insights

of three very different laureates, and evidence as our “likeables” behaviour is proof.

That proven behaviour of our portfolios, fund managers like CPPIB13 can afford to ignore but

politicians demand you must trust to invest in their proven failures, even double-up donations.

Donations to their failure have already doubled since I was legally required to start paying 45 years

ago. Wall Street14 does not understand value or even price. When is any stock cheap enough15?

Convention does not comprehend our ‘likeables’ behaviour as hedge funds fail to deliver16. But,

they are still skimming purses. Bonds are oh-so-ho-hum17 they do not know how to ‘fix-it’ either.

On gossip hem and haw the markets bounced and yawed with all the boats as Trump slapped the

troubled waters of US stagnant politics holing stoplosses. The managers of pensions, insurance and

other equity pools trade accounts for 90% of the market, but they do not know which way that flat-

world view of theirs turns, but churning your money works for their salaries, just not your income.

Quantitative Eating as ‘treacle-down’ never worked just capitalized sticky fingers gaming US

markets, not consumers ‘getting-on-with-their-lives’ hoping to earn income on savings.

Our public portfolios are proof, we can. Extending our proprietary information as charity suiting

small savers’ needs in our BookBuilderTM allows you invest in your children’s education,

TaxCharityTM allows you invest in your retirement income needs. Because we can, you can too.

Our public portfolios do better because we can with our new theory of the firm. We seek accredited

investors to whom we can offer StockTakers 12% Bond18 advancing what we have proven, we do

the work. We show proof in our methods, in real time portfolios.

BlackSwanTradingTM is a study in passivity. Managed with our stoploss controls from the start in

01dec12 it showed gain of 103.58% for 43.7 months. These past 26 months’ of mugwumps mauling

market prices had to give-up the bloat of QE, with managers claiming need of switching to bonds to

generate their incomes from churning client cache19. No crisis, no fees is their mantra. But risk

averse ‘likeables’ have nice tendencies and are very likeably coming back to current near doubling.

Stop-loss settings intend to defend capital from unusual negative market volatility in case of such irrational

market mavens’ pressures of Q3-2014 through Q1-2016. Irrationally volatile swings occurred without

regard for reason as stock prices sharply rebounded. Capital was defended by stoploss settings as intended

but you must rebuild the portfolio with successive replacement buy-ins as shown below.

If you did not pay for the stop-loss positions you took the risk but carried-on in a slumber as above, you

gained a tidy 92.62% for snoozing like Rip Van Winkle for 47.7 months, a net 17.93% IRR p.a. gain,

you got $13,517.50 (used-less) cash in your wallet and now rockets return and land on earth, standing-up.

In the long haul all but 2 of these 19 ‘likeables’ rebounded above their Risk Price and $topLoss in dominant

in a mixed market that was strongly negative on ‘news’ without substance over these past 20 months, on

newspeak unrelated to business of firms in the real economy. Managers make 90% of trading but they never

know where they are or which way to go.

We have progressively tightened our stoploss settings to less than a standard deviation on a 52 week rolling

range20 of a stock’s price. That does incur an added ‘churn’ cost of buying after selling at the triggered

stoploss setting. That is a consequence of exercising Capital Safety. There are benefits to doing that.

Above no stoplosses were applied. Below we show the effect of the stoploss set only on quarterly basis

gained 31.94% more at the end of 47.7 months for little effort by our model small investor managing their

personal savings portfolio only once each month and still over that interval including the last rough 8

quarters negative volatility again hit 103.47% achieving 19.56% IRR p.a. That is very likeable.

That demonstrated yield of 19.56% IRR p.a. is further proof our Risk Price driven ‘likeables’ risk

averse discipline is Capital Safe, Liquid and AlphaSmartTM. Investors need to know Risk Price.

money on the dice floor. We can buy back ‘likeables’ at lower prices and recover. Stock Prices

rebounded well above the prior stoploss again indicating less tight stops should be used again. The

normal mooing of herds grazing has returned. With our ‘likeables’ we can benefit most from the

fluttering of uncertainty in the market that is made by ‘active’ fund managers who have no

direction, no compass, as they lose the cache of their clients in their churn for their fees income.

Balance sheets did not flip-flop, but portfolio managers did, unrelated to ‘fundamentals’ of value

investing22. Our tighter $toploss values reduced risk of loss while the bears grumbled. All of the

stocks in our public portfolios23 simply rebounded, much higher. Few can still be bought back for

less than they stopped out weeks ago even as the markets regain confidence. Take the bonus when

it is there and buy those back. Staying in the market gets the rise as the tide swell comes in.

Skimming for advantageous collaring options to protect your capital takes time, away from

working at what you know you do best. Collaring of options can be very useful in added gains but

it requires a lot more attention than small investors can lavish.

Stoploss is a simpler approach. It is time to loosen the easily managed $toploss values as positive

mooing returns, as the bears picnic, rebuild for gain as markets liquidity has returned. Price has no

mass - gossip fluctuates and gyrates like a dervish, gravity less so but we know more about it.

Most of the US is nearing NAIRU full employment. Political shift to fuller renewal of

infrastructure is now at forefront with income equality initiatives. All the ‘canards’ must walk the

political stage while the real economy slowly inches its recovery forward, while absorbing other

people’s abuse of ‘credit float’ in the sea of moral hazard they had created.

The reality that ‘treacle-down’ never worked is roosting, as much as, austerity is impoverishing in

hard times when innovation and productivity are needed to ‘credit float’ warranted investment in

valiant business processes and enterprises in the real economy. That is the expectation society has

of corporations given fictitious personhood in accepting as public liability for corporate risk of

failure that society will obtain benefits if corporate success is won. Society needs the collective use

of ‘credit float’. Society wants those risks for socio-economic benefits to all trading connections

for ‘credit float’ given to the federation of interests that is incorporated with the enterprise. How

the corporation is governed and the added value distributed is where we need to workout better.

Austerity the FSB sees as necessary in support of retail bank reserves to limit imprudence of moral

hazard by bankers, which they pay from their resources without the public purse. The high margins

bankers have imposed in recent years has reduced liquidity, damping markets instead of spurring,

the amount of ‘credit float’ available for real economy enterprises, creating worth and wealth in

their business process, making ‘money’ to put in all our pockets and allocate as we wish or save in

‘likeables’ equities hopeful of gaining better income than our labour alone provides.

even if the mavens ‘expected’ better Q2 profit,

you snacked on Zacks bet and earned yourself

Or, did you add to your cache from your

Stop-loss settings defend capital from unusual negative market volatility as in case of such irrational market

mavens’ pressures trading on ‘newspeak’ and gossip. Irrationally volatile swings occurred in the past 18

months as the stock prices sharply rebounded without regard for any real reason. New highs were recorded

in markets showing a 6% swing in days. Capital was defended as intended but you must rebuild the

portfolio from capital protective $topLoss sales with successive replacement buy-ins as shown above.

If you did not pay for the stop-loss positions you took the risk but can carry-on, grateful most rebounded

above their Risk Price and $topLoss, some are ‘zoomers’ some are clearly ‘laggards’ needing to be

shunned. However one sees clear example of our ‘likeables’2 of 3 tendency in wobbling mixed markets

with Solo50K BSTTM continued gaining. As market behaviours shifted sharply up and down risk aversion

pays with less risk and better gains. More stable trading seems to have returned, to contented mooing.

No one is claiming DJI to hit 20000 this December, as they did last year. But feeding frenzy has gripped on

promised infrastructure financing, the XYZ-millenials will be paying for the next 40 years as deficit debts

will balloon under the Yuge Welfare Queen from Queens. He has never minded debt so long as someone

else paid. That is GOP 101, per, Dick Cheney, “Deficits do not matter, Reagan taught us that.” Cut welfare

to single parent and child households and have States shove that Federal money into frat-boy bursaries and

marriage counselling for young upper middle class couples24. Empty all your pockets, say good-bye to it.

That is the only change voted, worst of the same corporatocracy, the corporate command economy25.

StockTakers helps small investors grow their wealth and attain liquidity with their own savings26. To the

accredited investor StockTakers offers the 12% Bond, we do all the work and take all the risk.

Engage in “likeables” save your own bacon. Because we can, you can, too.

The conventional investment industry cannot prove any of their assumptions underlying their

methods. As we have shown, luck is all that they trade in. At their best 1.03 to 1 is just a coin-toss,

not adding value, or covering inflation and their fees – you lose. They cannot model a fair price or

value. Nonsense told often enough can even become politically correct, even as legal sinecure.

Equities that tend to hold their value and gain are better than cash. We like Capital Safety and

Liquidity because we have proven our risk aversion works, consistently obtaining both low risk

and AlphaSmartTM high gain. Our Risk Price is what investors must know to defend their capital.

Market behaviour prefers the “likeables” trading above Risk Price and bids up their price. Our

method is proven. Because we can, you can27.

In our Modal Geometry28 theory of the firm we make only two assumptions, clearly as follows:

1. there is a balance sheet of the firm (that the rule of law governs its information is possibly

weak assumption but at an accuracy to at least the modest degree accountants are prepared

to be responsible for); and,

2. the firm will vigorously negotiate, “what it owns” (in order to stay in business “what is

owed to it” with “what it owes” and vice versa, to make the best of what it has, that is in its

trading connections).

The Modal Geometry theory of the firm has unfolded by rigourous observation of corporate ledgers

relation to balance sheets as business process29 adds value. That is aided with logic, epistemology,

and some powerful mathematics. You have proof in these TaxCharityTM portfolios performances.

Our reasons for having any equity in our portfolios are clear, concise and consistent. “likeables”

tendency demonstrates 2 of 3 gaining for the long term. This we show proof positive, in our

TaxCharityTM and BookBuilderTM portfolios continued gain.

Know What You Have. Have What You Know.

Our view is risk averse. Of course we earn our fees for taking all the risk. Mail us for our help.
