  • Eotm the Agony and the Ecstasy
    EYE ON THE MARKET SPECIAL EDITION THE & agTHE ny ecst sy THE RISKS AND REWARDS OF A CONCENTRATED StOCK POSITION The Agony and the Ecstasy is a 1961 biographical novel by American author Irving Stone on the life of Michelangelo: his passion, intensity and perseverance as he created some of the greatest works of the Renaissance period. Like Michelangelo’s paintings and sculptures, successful businesses are the by-product of inspiration, hard work, and no small amount of genius. And like the works of the Great Masters, only a small minority stand the test of time and last over the long run. The Agony and the Ecstasy conveys the disparate outcomes facing concentrated holders of individual stocks in a world, like Michelangelo’s, that is beset with intrigue, unforeseen risks, intense competition and uncertainty. EYE ON THE MARKET • J.P. MORGAN Eye on the Market J.P. MORGAN The Agony and the Ecstasy: The Risks and Rewards of a Concentrated Stock Position Executive Summary There are many Horatio Alger stories in the corporate world in which an entrepreneur or CEO has the right idea at the right time and executes brilliantly on a business plan. But history also shows that forces both within and outside management control led many of their businesses to suffer serious reversals of fortune. As a result, many individuals are known not just for the wealth they created through a concentrated position, but also for the decision they made to sell, hedge or otherwise take some chips off the table. In this paper, we take a look at the long history of individual stocks, and at the risks and rewards of concentration.

  • Enron and Co
    Enron and Co. - the fiasco of the new USA-style economy Eric Toussaint (*) Twenty years of deregulation and market liberalization on a planetary scale have eliminated all the safety barriers that might have prevented the cascade effect of crises of the Enron type. All capitalist companies of the Triad and emerging markets have evolved, some with their own variations, on the same lines as in the USA. The planet's private banking and financial institutions (as well as insurance companies) are in a bad way, having adopted ever riskier practices. The big industrial groups have all undergone a high degree of financialization and they, too, are very vulnerable. The succession of scandals shows just how vacuous are the declarations of the US leaders and their admirers in the four corners of the globe (see Ahold, Parmalat,…). A mechanism equivalent to several time -bombs is under way on the scale of all the economies on the planet. To name just a few of those bombs: over indebtedness of companies and households, the derivatives market (which in the words of the billionaire Warren Buffet, are « financial weapons of mass destruction »), the bubble of property speculation (most explosive in the USA and the UK), the crisis of insurance companies and that of pension funds. It is time to defuse these bombs and think of another way of doing things, in the USA and elsewhere. Of course, it is not enough to defuse the bombs and dream of another possible world. We have to grapple with the roots of the problems by redistributing wealth on the basis of social justice.

  • When Exactly Is It Time to Make Your Personal Exit?
    When exactly is it time to make your personal exit? Consider all of the players who have over stood their hands in the last two years. And I am not talking about you, or me, or our personal stock holdings here. Not all that long ago, Ken Lay was the toast of Houston; a regular at the White House, the Texas if not the California Governor’s Mansion, and all the best charity events in town. Consider Enron even bought the naming rights for the local arena. Now Lay would be most welcome all over town on a barbeque spit, anybody’s barbeque spit, rotating around with his tail feathers just above the coals. How about Bernie Ebbers? What must the new trophy wife be thinking? Whatever lifestyle she thought she was signing on to enjoy a couple of years ago surely didn’t include the prospect of personal bankruptcy and a three-bedroom ranch house with a carport for the used Chevy. Let’s just watch and see how long true love lasts in the face of what lies ahead for Mrs. Ebbers. What will the new little wifey really think as the “wealthy tycoon” is exposed for having been right up to his elbows in cooking the revenues? Will she really hang out when he trades in his vertical pinstripes for the government -issue horizontal ones? Perhaps you prefer Sam Waksal? Recently Sam decided to go the full 100 yards dash naked. He insisted in Court in August that Imclone will ultimately help a lot of people beat cancer, that he would not plea bargain but rather prove his innocence, and all those apparent efforts to sell his stock were just a big misunderstanding.
