Century Management Market Update - November 2018

Investments

In our latest market update we discuss:

  • The fundamentals of the companies in our portfolios are by-and-large doing well as of the third quarter, with most providing positive guidance looking forward.
    We believe the overall economy is in good shape, and we do not see a recession on the horizon.
  • We believe this market correction is largely due to fears of a slowing market and economy as a result of trade issues.
  • We believe that stocks, overall, are entering a fair value zone, and have largely priced in a slower economy that has yet to arrive, and stocks are materially cheaper than bonds.
  • We continue to believe that oil and energy-related stocks are in a long-term bull market.
  • We believe the cause of this week’s market sell-off (other than stretched valuations in many companies) is due to the concern over rising interest rates, which the Fed is raising in an effort to head off the potential of higher inflation.
