I am one of the few last standings, I still like value traps, I think that value is it's own catalyst. However, I want a 5-6% dividend+buyback for these type of companies.
I cannot go however on the NAV value companies type if they don't provide a minimum capital return
Thanks. I guess that a 5-6% yield can be a catalyst by itself. Depending on the discount, of course.
Also, I believe the more diversified you are, the more your valuation work matters, as opposed to catalysts. You can handle something "being cheap" for a longer time if it's a part of a larger portfolio of dirt cheap names, whereas I cannot "afford" a 30% position that doesn't re-rate over a 3 year time frame.
“When an asset-play lacks a catalyst or growth, capital allocation becomes crucial!
Being cheap is not enough. This is where you’ll get a value trap.” - I agree and also made that learning last year.
Excellent observations. Nice post.
"So, where await the next extremely pessimistic sentiments, fellas??"

Great to think about the hurdle rate. Will help you avoid dead-money value traps. Best of luck in 2024!
Thanks! Likewise, Michael
