ABCs Defense of Capital, Tax Charity–22 August 2013
Risk Price analysis of balance sheets allows us to discern a most useful partition from all the
equities in any market. These we call “likeables” because investors have consistently shown they
prefer them and price them up. Investors like them and there is much to like. As a group 2 of 3 of
these “likeables” equities tend to gain in stock price for long periods. We understand why and have
shown our case in open public display, because we can. No one else can, so they do not.
As open handed display of our methods in January 2012 we released the ABC’s portfolio comprised
of just the of newly identified equities on TSX and NYSE we call “likeables” we partition. They are
revealed by their rise above Risk Price, our metric that investors must know to defend their capital.
Those ABCs made the case even as these two markets diverged. There were 16 equities in the TSX
sample for an aggregate $33,580 invested and 13 in the NYSE sample portfolio for an aggregate
$36,370 invested at outset. Through the year 5 were dropped due to negative change in their Risk
Price metrics, as it turns out in both, finishing the year with the TSX sample up 122.64% and the
NYSE sample up 138.97%. These were substantively different markets.
The TSX had declined early in the year and then regained ending up 6.02% and the NYSE had
started hot and then cooled to obtain a 8.35% gain in the year. Roughly a four-fold gain was made
in both portfolios over their markets. The hedge fund industry recorded only 6.16% on the NYSE
prior to their taking fees.
Those two ABCs sample portfolios have continued through this year, gaining further to end of July
on the TSX 11.95% (as the index gained 0.43%) to total 135.15% carrying its cash-outs of $9,533
(after those 5 having contributed modest gains of 14.74% before hand). Only recent volatility hit
the StopLoss of 3 in the TSX leaving now $19,472 cashed-out and $33,146 still invested.
The sample NYSE portfolio has gained 18.73% (as its indices gained 13.84%) to total 142.41%.
carrying its 5 cashouts of $44,340 (after those 5 having contributed modest gains of 7.97% before
hand). There was 1 recent StopLoss in the NYSE sample with now $48,940 cashed-out and $46,665
still invested. Idle cash value is eroded by inflation. Carrying idle cashout diminishes gains earned.
We insist cash must be engaged in the economy in business ideas with valiant balance sheets or it
loses value. That is simple fact. Equities that tend to hold their value and gain are better than cash.
We like Capital Safety and Liquidity because we have consistently shown and proven that works.
The TaxCharity portfolios we posted this past January 2013 took-up the challenge for the small
investor to reinvest their cash under the constraining limits of annual Tax shelter provisions. You
will have done well. Using the “likeables” Newbies of 01January 2013 idled ABCs cashouts
reinvested would have gained further. Per below the TSX would have improved by 12.52% to
29.45% gained on 19.0 months with still $205.00 cash in hand. On the NYSE reinvestment would
have achieved further 26.17% gain to 65.70% on 19 months with still $40.00 cash in hand.

Engage in “likeables” save your own bacon.
The essential feature of “likeables” is that 2 of 3 tend to gain. What is essential in your portfolios is
that you buy a full complement of at least eight or preferably more equities at any time (preferably
in equal blocks of 100 shares for 'collaring options' as exit strategy to maximize gains, most often
continuing to hold through volatility, earning more gains). StopLoss weeds the laggards as needed.
Tendency for gain is not the same as pin-the-point on the mule as most encourage or seek. Those
motley brayers are legend with survivor bias, even when 2 of their 3 crash they will talk only with
whimsy of the one. Their mothers’ “Speak when you have something positive to say” is ignored.
Let others chase the gamblers’ risk/reward model. Good reason knows that rarely works. But you
can be charitable and buy a lottery ticket that donates support to community sports and arts, like
buying a raffle ticket at the Strawberry Social.

ABCs Defense of Capital, Tax Charity–22 August 2013
The conventional investment industry cannot prove any of their assumptions underlying their
methods. As we have shown, luck is all that they trade in, 1.03 to 1 is just a coin-toss, not adding
value. A tautology is just repetition until it appears to be logical. Lies told often enough are
expedient and can even become politically correct.
In our Modal Geometry "theory of the firm" we make only two assumptions, clearly as follows:
1. there is a balance sheet of the firm (that the rule of law governs its information is possibly
weak assumption but at an accuracy to at least the modest degree accountants are prepared
to be responsible for); and,
2. the firm will vigorously negotiate, “what it owns” (in order to stay in business “what is
owed to it” with “what it owes” and vice versa, to make the best of what it has, that is in its
trading connections).
The Modal Geometry theory of the firm has unfolded more by rigourous observation in the real
world of corporate ledgers relation to balance sheets. That is aided with logic, epistemology, and
some powerful mathematics, not just conventional assumptions with little or no science.
Our reasons for having any equity in our portfolios are clear, concise and consistent. “likeables” are
equities shown valued by investors, tending to continuing gain, which investors have demonstrated
a determination to buy and hold at stock prices above the price of risk. That tendency demonstrates
2 of 3 “likeables” gaining for the long term, as we continue to show.
Proof is positive, as our TaxCharity shows. We do that for the small investor, because we can. No
one else can.
Know What You Have. Have What You Know.
Our view is risk averse. Of course we require 2&20 fees for doing that. Mail us for our help.
