The Comeback King: For 40 Years, John Rogers Has Come Out Of Bear Markets Stronger
The veteran value investor’s flagship Ariel Fund was up 14% in January after taking a hit in 2022. Now he is betting big on entertainment, private equity and — surprise! — housing. In an era when dyed-in-the wool value investing strategists have been pushed aside for sexier growth and quantitative managers, John W. Rogers Jr.’s patient contrarian approach has proven resilient in the aftermath of multiple market storms. Rogers, the founder and co-CEO of Ariel Investments, started the firm in 1983 just three years after graduating from Princeton. Forty years later, the oldest Black-owned investment firm in the U.S. manages more than $16 billion in assets. Most of that is in mutual funds and separately managed accounts, though $1.45 billion is in a new private equity fund dubbed Project Black. The brainchild of his co-CEO Mellody Hobson, the new fund aims to buy existing mid-size businesses and install Black and Latino executives who can build them into top tier suppliers … [Read more...] about The Comeback King: For 40 Years, John Rogers Has Come Out Of Bear Markets Stronger
Protect Your Portfolio With Defensive Stocks Like These
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Defensive Stocks Recent News The investing landscape in 2022 was notable not only for the severity of losses but also their breadth: It was the first year, since at least the 1870s, that U.S. stocks and long-term bonds both fell by more than 10%. As a result, investors have turned to defensive stocks. Defensive stocks are companies that generally hold up well in times of economic distress. The main defensive sectors are generally considered to be utilities, healthcare and consumer staples, all of which have outperformed the market in 2022. Even in a downturn, consumers continue to spend money on these products. As of December 29, the S&P 500 index’s utility stocks as a whole fell 0.5% in 2022, while consumer staples were down 2.7% in the period.

Despite the better performance, cyclical sectors such as industrials and consumer … [Read more...] about Protect Your Portfolio With Defensive Stocks Like These

[+] by Neoen SAS, near Jamestown, South Australia, on Friday, Sept. 29, 2017. (Carla Gottgens/Bloomberg In late January , I noted that Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk’s executive compensation plan raised significant red flags. Since then, proxy advisor Glass Lewis recommended investors vote against the proposal , which could grant Musk performance-based options worth over $2.6 billion. The red flags haven’t stopped there.

Can John Roa’s Caden Solve The Internet Advertising Privacy Problem?
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Internet advertising was born of the idea that a host of services and information would be available free in return for the ability to collect data from consumers in order to serve them better ads or search results.

Data, provided by consumers most often without their informed consent, is at the heart of the staggering rise in Internet Advertising. Digital advertising spending worldwide amounted to $521.02 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $876 billion by 2026, according to Statista, with marketers spending more on digital platforms than any other media format.
