We are maintaining our Buy recommendation on Joy Global (JOYG). The global coal market appears strong as supply and demand fundamentals should keep prices elevated for the next several years. This will be a benefit to Joy as it is the world's leading manufacturer of mining machinery in the world. Sales and bookings were impressive in Q3 reflecting producer's positive long-term outlook for coal prices. Joy's industry leading operating margins look to improve on the back of several cost cutting and capacity expansion initiatives that will be felt as early as 2009. However we are lowering our target price from $84.00 to $71.00 per share due contraction of our valuation multiples. Although already an industry leader in operating margins, the growth and cost initiatives put in place will pave the way for higher revenues, margins and[More...]

The outlook for McGraw-Hill's (MHP) Financial Services (45% of revenue) segment is murky. Operating income shrank 17% in 4Q07. Given weak housing market fundamentals, we don't think Financial Services operating income will trough until at least 4Q08, and then it may likely remain weak through 2009. Rising mortgage defaults and the resultant...[More...]

Investing Pitfalls: Going Long-Only

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:53:38 GMT

In Ben Stiller’s parody of the fashion industry, Zoolander, the protagonist possesses a critical flaw preventing him from regaining kingship of the runway world: Zoolander does not turn left. As an avid reader of the mainstream financial media, I have noticed a similar critical flaw: many of my peers do not sell short or buy puts. If the market can go up and down, we need to learn how to invest for up and down. Otherwise, we are like Zoolander or a car driver who turns only right: we lose ground when we need to go left. Thus, investors are not whole without shorts and puts.I agree that shorting and buying puts has risks. However, I have read numerous recommendations in the financial media to buy homebuilders and banks while these industries are experiencing a crisis, and such buying has proven extremely risky (if not detrimental). On the other hand, short sellers and those buying puts of homebuilders and banks have crushed the markets with superior ga[More...]

Martha Stewart Living is not a growth stock

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 18:01:13 GMT

Since I recommended buying puts on Martha Stewart Living (NYSE: MSO) last month, shares have tumbled more than 5% as the broader market has rallied. Yet despite this minor correction, the market is still pricing MSO as if it were an exciting growth stock, not the dying brand milking its core followers for every last penny that it really is. Recent developments reinforce the fact that this stock does not deserve its current 22 forward multiple or 2.7 P/S.First, there was the apparently upbeat announcement that The Martha Stewart Show would be picked up by NBC/Universal for a fourth season in syndication. You had to actually read the entire press release to see the bad...[More...]

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSO) now at $10 a share

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 18:08:20 GMT

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (NYSE:MSO) isn't what it used to be. Martha's house arrest, missing analysts estimates, and now suing Sears (SHLD) has driven the stock down 50% in the last year. So now that it's half of what it used to be, the Masters think it's worth a look. [More...]
