Why gilt investors can afford to smile at market panic

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom government securities (gilts) offer little value for investors unless they forecast a drop in interest rates to 1%, as has occurred in Japan. Short-term holders of gilts are likely to sell once decline becomes apparent. Gold prices have also risen, and gold and gilt prices tend not to rise together except when there is a fear of a total collapse in markets. Relative strength in stocks is especially important when prices are falling, and investors not in safe sectors are likely to see a poor performance.

Exceptional economics are attractive

Article Abstract:

Exceptional economics are possessed by companies that do not need much in the way of extra resources to generate additional sales. This concept is illustrated by the case of Trafficmaster which has a patent covering the transfer of traffic data to drivers from highway bridges. Trafficmaster can benefit from license fees, after having invested in research to develop its product. Such a company could present opportunities for investors, as Warren Buffet points out.
