In the Volatile “wild west” world of small-cap stocks, bigger small cap companies tend to do better than the smaller small caps, and a high turnover portfolio management strategy tends to outpace a less active approach, according to a report by Merrill Lynch analyst Steven DeSanctis. “It has been a wild Market thus far in 2008, with plenty of twists and turns,” said Mr. DeSanctis, adding that this has be the “most volatility anyone has seen since we traced the data back to 1993 and may rival the swings back in the fall of 1987.” Not only has the volatility affected large cap stocks - “When has an investor seen a large-cap stock rise and fall by 20% or more in any given day?, Mr. Sanctis asks in his report - but small cap investors are “having a very difficult time figuring out which way the Market, sectors, and stocks are heading.” This is seen in the statistics on fund manager performances compiled by Merrill. Mr. DeSanctis noted that less than 7% of small-cap growth and value managers beat their bench marks in July, while a “less than impressive” 11% of core funds did so. As for the year-do-date totals, he said just 13.5% of growth funds are ahead of the game, while less than 30% of core funds and 37.7% of value funds are “topping their bogeys.” Mr. DeSanctis argues in his report that active managers should raise their level of turnover to take advantage of the swings in stock prices. “Our data supports this thesis, as in the c ...

While high-end developments around the West collapse under the weight of huge debt loads the slumping housing Market can't support, the planned Bitterroot Resort south of Missoula, having yet to tap investors and with little built infrastructure, appears to be in position to ride out the slow down. As rancher-turned-resort CEO Tom Maclay said Tuesday, "It's very good to be standing outside of that." The money spent so far on planning, public relations, carving runs on private land, retaining top-flight resort manager Jim Gill has all been "internal," Maclay says, made possible by "a few land sales" and "good bankers." ...

Car loans customers looking for a used car have been told to be wary of current Market conditions. The HPI has claimed that the Market is experiencing volatility as demand for low-mileage vehicles continues to be high, yet ex-fleet cars are now much less popular. According to the organisation, fleet managers are "overvaluing" their cars, meaning many are left unsold which in turn is expected to hit values. The introduction of the 58 plate next month is also expected to add to an already complicated marketplace, it stated. Commenting on the issue, Martin Keighley, valuations expert at the HPI, said: "Accurate vehicle valuation hasn't been so difficult for some 15-20 years. "However today's Market should be looked at as part of a normal cycle rather than an apocalypse." Valuations have fallen across all sectors of the Market but 'gas-guzzlers' and those in the higher vehicle excise duty bracket are expected to see a five per cent fall in value, he added. The HPI claims its data has helped many motorists to avoid buying cars that have either been stolen or written off. ...
