Most of us won't face that problem investing in mutual funds.My cigar-butt strategy worked very well while I was managing small sums. Indeed, the many dozens of free puffs I obtained in the 1950s made that decade by far the best of my life for both relative and absolute investment performance.
This concurs with my opinion that big tech is flying towards the sun and if we wait long enough it will crash back to earth. And the Liz Ann Sonders piece Charles referenced recently.Executive Summary
Value investing has a long and distinguished pedigree but is currently in a deep thirteen-year drawdown. We believe this is because value has rotated into a massive losing bet against technological disruption.

...look at the companies you actually get when you buy a value portfolio. Exhibit 4 shows the sector composition of Russell 1000 Value and Growth....Value investors are making an epic 34.7% short bet against the technology sector. Moreover, this bet is more than fully explained by their underweight to the FAANG+M companies. Value has a meager 1.4% position in FAANG+M compared to Growth’s 39.4%. Not only are value investors short tech, but they are short Big Tech. And in a big way. Once we neutralize its anti-disruption bet, we find that value’s lost decade disappears. Value’s drawdown is fully explained by its big bet against disruption.
Buffett gradually evolved his approach beyond that of his mentor. With the help of his partner, Charlie Munger, he realized that Graham’s “cigar-butt” investment style was neither scalable nor sustainable. Meanwhile, the economy was evolving, marked by the rise of the great American consumer brands, such as Coca-Cola, which enjoyed loyal customers and wide moats. Buffett embraced a more holistic focus on brand and management quality. His new blueprint: “Forget what you know about buying fair businesses at wonderful prices; instead, buy wonderful businesses at fair prices.”
Conclusion
Value investing has rotated into a massive bet against technological disruption. This position cuts across diverse industries but can be isolated using machine learning. The anti-tech bet explains value’s ongoing drawdown. We suggest that value investors evolve their framework to accommodate the rising role of technology in our economy. Meanwhile, we believe allocators must invest in developing an informed view on technological trends in order to truly underwrite their value managers.
I'ld be leery of any value fun with a turnover higher than 50%. Shoot. I'm leery of any fund over that.I am looking at a few Mid Cap Value funds because I believe we are due for a style rotation to Value and Mid Cap soon. I am interested in the following Nuance Mid Cap Value NMAVX, Artisan Mid Cap Value ARTQX , JP Morgan Mid Cap Value JAMCX, Janus Henderson Mid Cap Value JNVSX. I do like the look of the Nuance Fund, but it has a turnover of over 100% And how can you be a value investor with a high turnover such as that. Any one that has any feedback will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Blocking the middle seat is Delta policy until January 6, 2021 per their website.Your wife got lucky. My coworkers traveled on United and they were not please with the full flight. Some low cost operators even reduce the number of flight so to reduce the fixed cost. We love to travel overseas but many countries do not want Americans due to the high COVID cases.
Ditto. Plain and simple. And Hawaiian Air just killed change-fees, along with a couple of other big Legacy Carriers. Funny, though, how the FARE rose so much on the new date you choose to fly..... ALWAYS.
I'm not in a rush to get on a commercial flight anytime soon.
Not my wife's experience on Delta this past Friday. Middle seats were vacant. Masking was strictly enforced. I don't know how they handle it on narrower air frames.
I hear that the airlines still pack the planes. The only social distancing they practice is before boarding. Face covering is mandatory and yet some still fight this public health rule. It will be sometime before the airlines return to normal when the COVID-19 is contained with the vaccines.
