ABCs to Zs Defense of Capital, Tax CharityTM
–31 December 2016
Risk PriceTM analysis of balance sheets allows us to discern a most useful partition from all the equities
in any market. These are ‘likeablesTM’ because they seem “undervalued1” in the market mind-sense.
The demand for them exceeds the supply at current prices. Investors prefer them and price them up. So
there is much to like.
As a group, 2 of 3 ‘likeablesTM’ equities we identify by Risk PriceTM tend to gain in stock price for
long periods. We understand why by proven theory2. We give proof also in open display in real time
markets. Because We Can. No one else can, so they do not. WE DO, Because We Can.
As open handed display of our methods in January 2011 we released the ABC’s portfolio comprised of
just newly identified equities on TSX and NYSE ‘likeablesTM’ market partition. Our ‘likeables’ are
revealed by their rise above Risk Price TM our metric that investors must know to defend their capital.
Our ‘likeables’ tendancy to hold value and gain is better than cash. Risk Averse, Capital Safety and
Liquidity in our method shows, in proven AlphaSmartTM high capital appreciation. Less risk more gain
sounds strange but truth to power3 there is no science in conventional fund portfolio methods.
Then we arbitrarily extended those ABCs to Z showing both ends of our AlphaSmartTM result. The
ABC-Z portfolios make our case even as these two substantively different markets have diverged in
their own pitch and yaws, often moved in different directions. Our ABC-Z sample portfolios are proof
we have shown in open display our theory and method works in real markets.
Fund managers are victims of their own gossip just playing dice 4 , with your money. The self
proclaimed ‘bright lights’ running hedge funds HFRI5 record only 0.0014% pa for the past four years.
For such underperformance they take fees supposed earned. Your risk is their ‘professional’ gain.
Conventional investment industry claims “expertise” but use untestable models,
conjectures claimed as viable theory. These Artful Dodgers just cull small
investors’ wallets to their use. All the fun, fees and profit is theirs, but next to
nothing for you6 are ever left, just their tease for fees, and perhaps a Mozarttaler
for your thanks. Their baseless swing from no-ooo to buy-eee wrecked havouc
on the ABC-Z portfolios but the capital is safe. StopLoss intended to protect
your capital did their job though most all equities rebounded, very sharply. We
reset the ABC-Zs as few are bought back for less, while still ‘likeables’ in a mild
sort of short selling. Most hit the stoploss and sprung far higher.
Some ‘dollar-per-word’ market gossips called the DJI to hit 20000, in 2014 autumn. Market mavens
are irrational gossips, for no reason calling the sky limitless, or market bottoms to fall. Balance sheets
tell the reality of valiant business ideas and how well they are doing in the real economy. Judging by
the ciphers in balance sheets is different than the latest cover flap story. But we wait for their skyfall to
quit and the contented mooing of reality to return to markets. Firms are ready, that is the real story.
There is much to be said for the quiet munching of the herd as real economies ease along on 1.2%.

We offer accredited investors StockTakers 12% Bond7 at our risk, working our proven theory for their
steady return. Proof is shown in our proprietary data driven list of ‘likeables’ helping small investors to
show our ‘stuff’ is robust using just stoploss. ‘Likeables’ portfolio performance is proven. Because we
can, we do. With proven ‘likeables’ we get AlphaSmartTM gains.
The TaxCharityTM and BookBuilderTM portfolios take the challenge for the small investor to invest
savings under the limits of annual Tax shelter provisions. Our ‘likeables’ followers did well, as NYSEs
gained 14.10% since 31 December 2013. Those hedge fund mavens made just half, 7.50% (2.44%
p.a.)8 in these past 3 years. The prior 22 month trough, made by convention bound wealth mangers
having no real direction, has shaken off QE phantom expectations as patient consumer growth resumed.
Trouble is the dollar-per-word crowd never knows which end feeds the bull. What confuses them, price
is neither value 9 nor worth. ‘Heads down’ working, resolving debt of credit extended to valiant
business ideas, the market goes up. Even Europe’s unemployment is down, contented mooing of heads
feeding, it is time for real stocks growth, STXE gained 2.94% in Q2-3, despite ‘Brexit’.
The wearisome US election cycle of rotten tomatoes has worried the markets the past two quarters as
the combatants resisted effective policy outlooks only drawing back to take aim. The outcome is relief,
but a messy ‘bubble’ start. The coming venality will be fierce. Never mind, the swamp beasts wheeling
in to stake their public purse turf drainage into vapid ‘pet-policies’ with neither merit shown nor known
worth. The fallout from GOP summer long cover-up of their and FBI Dir. Comey complacency with
Russian election interference means treason trials may call the senate (1973 revisited) to appoint
replacements. This hits the fan. The salacious, vulgar and unethical tenures are smaller issues.
Consumers, under the burden of bankers’ moral faults advanced several years economic rise for their
demand on credit (while all others demurred). Secure your ‘likeables’ then fasten your purse strings.
We have seen the real behaviour of market investors to Risk Price TM driven ‘likeables’ is they like
them. Their desire evidences as demand exceeding supply driving ‘likeables’ prices up. We use that
tendency. We must rebuild from 2 years of baseless volatility from wealth managers and ‘dollar-per-
word’ market mavens gossip teasing the pitch into their game of coin tossers, with your cache.
We have more aggressive methods using collaring options for sharpening gains and limiting exit due to
unreasonable market mavens gambolling goats10 grazing on their client wallets. There is no science in
conventional fund portfolio methods11. Avoid those Artful Dodgers. We prove, because we can.

The `Brexit` panic of fund managers was unusual causing their “Ì don`t know nothin’ ‘bout birth and
babies” wild assed dump reaction triggering stoploss markers. Our fundamentals of firms is
something meaningful and entirely new. Our fundamentals of firm’s worth allows us to know more
and discount market gossip as much it influences fiscal illusions driving fears and greed behaviours.
Cumulatively our ‘likeables’ are the difference, they give us an average of 26% IRR by our using
‘collaring options’ a result stoploss markers alone cannot provide. Even with stoploss markers to
ensure capital safety for the small investor the robust result shown here is 7 times better than hedge
funds, and 16 times better than financial industry ‘products’ from those charming ‘Artful Dodgers’
the Certified Financial Advisors, in suits and cars, you paid for. Do not give them your wallet.

This result may still seem small beer to many, to us in particular. Consider, though the past 36 months
the TSX is still down -1.26% from 01sep2014. This portfolio using stoploss passive regime has
proven stunningly better result for the small investor, passively better than any ETFs, GICs, 401Ks,
RRSPs, hedge funds12, bond or financial product industry offers you buy. Capital safety provided
by stoploss markers is by design. The ‘likeables’ portfolio remains liquid for you the small investor
needing access to use their own wealth to help themselves or dear ones when genuine need arises.
We know pursuing framing options to collar exit or holds guided by robust Risk Price is more
lucrative13. But passive stoploss is manageable for the small investor. They can keep their attention
on saving from earnings made in their usual way they know best. Risk Price determined ‘likeables’
make your savings grow into wealth or added income when it is needed, always liquid to help you.
The 2013 portfolio slowly increases its rate of return, with 1.13% gain in the month. It is nicely on
stride holding ‘likeables’ double digit gains per annum ratio our method tends to. Its 36 month run is
proof in the longer term, ‘likeables’ work.

Engage in “likeables” to save your own bacon.
Do not expect perfect of Risk Price. High tendency for gain is not the same as pin-the-point on the
mule as most claim. Motley brayers talk only of their survivor bias winners. Let others chase gamblers’
risk/reward model that does not work. Their ‘house’ always win, fees you donated them. Risk Price
works. Even when the last 2 years have been volatile and negative, you held for gain in your cache.
Proven behaviour of market investors to ‘likeables’ is that they like them. This is why 2 of 3 tend to
long term gains in stock price once they trade above the Risk Price. Our ‘likeables’ are better behaved.
It is best you have eight or more ‘likeables’ in your portfolio at any time to enjoy their ‘behavioural’
tendency, as these larger portfolios show when compared to the smaller portfolios we charitably aim to
help small investors. Small portfolios can be erratic outliers, larger distribution tends to ‘behave’ better.
In our demonstrations we show what we can do, simply with just passive stoploss. We prove, in these
open tests our work and theory it is based in. Accredited investors need our help with the StockTakers
12% Bond14, because we can. We can share our Risk Price driven proprietary data, to help small
investors, to show we can obtain our AlphaSmartTM gains. Pay-forward our charity by designating a
normal ‘2 & 20’ fee portion to social charity. Good works deserve15 your help.

Once again the cattle returned to lowing, contented mooing had returned to the stockyard. Though
a few burped at the ‘nasty’ electoral Trump-derheads spooked the beeves bidders and froth
whipped their waves. The tally-stick throbbing the herd moved-on. Fund managers panic rumoured
‘sky falling’ on the markets decry the real economy inching forward, reclaiming value lost under
management herd trample, spooked by politicians vying for an income. There was sharp rebound
since, as fundamentals of the real economy remain positive, as the economy worries down the
excesses of others’ moral hazards. There shall be tax cuts for the rich; military and infrastructure
will have more revenue to explode the national debt; and, medicines and healthcare shall be
costing more all treacling down. Build no wall to keep corporate profits offshore revenues.
There was no moral compass, respect and civility in debates16 discussing facts and consequences
of choices. Back interns, underpaid job proles and troglodytes, before you get fired to join Sullen
Green stockyards. The voting is over, now just endure the suffering. The national purse is spent to
partisan preferences now heedless of debt spent. It is not their money. We pay. Millennials will
have to pay down that burden too.
Turbulence will be high for these four years as the nation wakes to the moral hazard they picked-
up in these rigged reality games of foreign rigging, politicking, talking past, instead of debate. We
in the real economy must work harder, no alternative. Future debt will be heaped at higher bank
tithe17 rates dampening real progress by added cost friction. Their new bank pox is on us all.
Best engage for the long term. Buy back those ‘likeables’ that have not already rebounded too far
and are still above our SF. It works. Consumer spending has rebounded and business is recharging
inventory, as the economy grows 1.2%, inch by inch to 2.0%. ‘Niagara Falls’ the market callers
went ‘loopy’ again. We loosened the stops, because the real economy is mooing and munching in
growth. The non-debates of rude slanging are no help. Adding infrastructure to Millennials
national debt, interest rates will rise to quell inflation weakly setting the stage for the bubble forced
into the economy by financials mismanagement at the C-suites, we all ride atop new bank tithe18.
Having suffered through 24 months of volatile and negative markets ‘likeables’ demonstrated
performance is eleven times better than hedge funds over that interval, 3 times better over the full
five year interval. The gain of this sample portfolio taken from our ‘likeables’ partitioning of the
markets was achieved with simple passive stoploss as is suited for small investors’ needs, while
remaining liquid for accessing your own wealth for your emergencies or helping those dear to you.
Passive gain is very nice, with ‘likeables’ working for you, managing the growth of your own
wealth, kept in your own control.

–31 December 2016
Using framing options to collar exit or holds guided by the Risk Price is more lucrative than
stoploss controls, but that takes ardent even anxious attention to market gamblers bet making and
taking. We take them when ‘likeables’ show us the way19. We have a lever with Risk Price, and its
‘likeables’ we know something more about an equity than anyone else outside the company,
because we read balance sheets differently, with new fundamentals cipher measuring worth and
debt capacity. Old fundamentals conventions measure price, not worth, which is never reliable
foundation for managing growth of your wealth. The market ‘stockyards’ are full of auctioneers
who know nothing about worth, they are just ‘making markets’ by ‘calling’ bidders.

This month the mooing of the contented herd returned the anxiety due ‘Electoral’ storm clouds,
with ’nasty’ lost value. There were no thunderheads, no policy, just annoying yackers seeking their
incomes, not yours. Like Wall Street, making noise to gain their incomes, “no panic, no trades, no
fees.” Neither know what they are doing, not politicians, not Wall Street, they just read a
meaningless script of ‘Wild-Ass-Guessers’ to the looped 24 hour news cycle in zero-sum games. It
is scary what their handlers want done by them to rig the dice they give you to throw.
This current IRR result is still far less than our expected long term tendency when using collaring
options. However, it is growing, faster than hedge funds. That is cause for celebratory hats and
horns for the small investor. This portfolio has gone through 24 months of volatile and negative
market behaviour, two thirds of its interval and now rebuilds. This portfolio has demonstrated
resilience even using less effective stoploss regime suiting the small investor. We know the pursuit
of framing options to collar exit or holds guided by the Risk Price is more lucrative. But, holding
our cards, 22.97% gain, is nicely ‘likeables’- easy done and 3 times better than all the hedge funds!
Over these three years this portfolio outclassed the troubling performance of hedge funds who
need Confessional for, “they know not what they are doing”. This ‘likeables’ portfolio using
passive stoploss regime has proven stunningly better result for the small investor, passively better
than any ETFs, GICs, 401Ks, RRSPs, hedge funds20, bond or product the financial industry
offers and always is liquid for the small investor needing access to use their own wealth to help
themselves or dear ones when need arises.
By staying in the market and riding through the trough like a surfer, this portfolio has proven
stunningly better result for the small investor than any financial industry product based in
conventional aphorisms, which as we know are useless and dangerous to your wealth, even your
health, becoming prone to nervous anxieties. Do not give those ‘Artful Dodgers’ your wallet.

Engage in “likeables” save your own bacon.
The conventional investment industry cannot prove any of their assumptions underlying their methods,
whose results are 1.03:1, like21 a coin toss. Avoid those Artful Dodgers playing dice with your wallet.
Investors need a real compass22. Risk Price shows their way23. Our TaxCharityTM gives proof. In the
spirit and tradition of real science of Bacon and Newton we feign nothing; our demonstrations are in
real time with real consequences obtaining real benefit to investors’ wallets, because we can.
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 rigorous observation in the real world of
corporate ledgers relation to balance sheets. That is aided with logic, epistemology, and some powerful
mathematics that is real science, not conventional assumptions with little relevance but gossip.
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, in more than theory, in real markets.
Proof is positive, in our TaxCharityTM and BookBuilderTM suite of portfolios extending our
proprietary information to small investors use. The ABC-Zs suit larger wallets. But all our portfolios
scale up, as many of our sneakier viewers know. Amorality is not what Adam Smith proposed as basis
for economic society, society did not need ‘professionals’ cons for that. Because we can, while the
entire financial industry is so busy blowing bubbles24 with cash from your wallet.

novelty, unprecedented self-serving interference suppressingaggregate demand by industry and consumer sectors, .see, Rajan 2009

least two thousand years as Trajan established 3% for his bankers margin on handling orphan endowment investments, and Tiberius
