Phil Ordway on Building Products Companies - Best Ideas 2016valueconferences
Opportunities in Building Products: Armstrong (NYSE: AWI) and USG (NYSE: USG) operate within a profitable niche market for ceiling products, and both are interesting companies. They have ~50% and ~30% market share, respectively, in a very stable, high-ROIC business with exemplary pricing power and relatively little competition. Using AWI’s numbers, volumes are still well below their 2005/06 peak and their plants are running at ~70% utilization, but they’ve been able to raise prices consistently and revenues and margins are considerably higher compared to the prior cyclical peak. This cycle may be a little different -- namely, it has been much slower to recover than many expected, and we may not attain those 2005/06 levels anytime soon -- but therein lies the potential opportunity, as some investors may have lost patience. AWI is also undergoing a period of significant change. Its smaller, less profitable flooring segment is likely to be spun off in 2016, and the remaining ceilings business will then be under the full control of a new CEO (who is the current president of that division and has achieved good results).
Many investors find themselves trapped in a perplexing cycle of underperformance and missed expectations from their investments. Choosing your investment philosophy is the missing link that can offer long-term peace of mind.

Currently pi network is not tradable on binance or any other exchange because we are still in the enclosed mainnet.
Right now the only way to sell pi coins is by trading with a verified merchant.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

After a great performance in 2015 (+51.4%) I’m expecting a tough 2016.
It’s more about capital preservation and specific stock selection – based on
expected deal flow & special situations rather than out and out capital gain.
The stocks chosen (should) be resilient to the headwinds below.
I’m avoiding huge swathes of my traditional stock base given the impact of
(1) drought (2) Rand weakness (3) rising interest rate environment (4) impact
on the already embattled consumer and (5) the Zuma risk to economic &
fiscal policy.
Having (more) than beaten my benchmarks in the past four years I am
confident that year 5 (may) prove to be another fair year (if) my views hold.

How my 2015 selection did
• Overall cumulative return for the year was 51.4%.
• Happy to continue to own (most) stocks; I’d take profits in Curro Holdings as I

How the 2015 Top 5 have fared since selection; where too in 2016?
Had a fair year, even though it nearly made my 3600c target price. A lack of understanding on its
Angolan oil unit (AES) hit the company BUT strong revenue and profit growth soon saw a bounce
back. 2016 will be much of the same with a solid order book and 60% Rand hedge qualities.
More than doubled in the year as the ADH vs. COH deal battled and derailed. A firm interest in
‘recession proof’ private education and its ‘J’ curve effect means the stock soared and flew
through my 3800c target to hit 6000c. I see good business progress in 2016 BUT the share price
is too full....and the company knows it.
Torre has been a good solid 3-year performer. Stock ran to 550c in the year then sector issues
(unfairly) hit the counter and saw it end flat on the year. With ongoing organic and acquisitive
growth, cash on hand for deals and the chance of a (takeout by Stellar) its one I keep in 2016.
My star performer rising over 150% as astute marketing, a slew of deals and great positioning
saw the stock catch fire with investors. I like the business and model but after such a fantastic
2015 I cannot see 2016 being as great and thus remove the stock and I maintain it a core hold.
Uncovered, misunderstood agri/feeds business has done much to de-risk itself from volatile
segments of industry. Ran to 429c then gave it all back as the maize price soared. Stock looks
utterly cheap, has huge cash pile BUT as long as market does not understand it, it will languish. I
still rate the counter a BUY.

Consolidated Infrastructure Group (CIL) 3010 cents
• For the fifth successive year I select CIL in my Top 5
• Recent ‘weakness’ affords good opportunity to get in
• FY15 HEPS at 221cps with another +25% expected FY16 – 60% Rand hedge. CEO very ‘upbeat’.
• Organic growth remains the main thrust, 2014/15 was all about ‘positioning to cope with growth’;
• Conco continues to me main growth driver. Muni’s & Eskom are spending; unprecedented
tender activity currently being seen as Gov’t upgrades the reticulation network.
• AES services in Angola has undertaken aggressive expansion to cope with new
legislative demands on the oil sector and onshore drilling. Legislation now in place.
• (REFIT) going well, Phase 3 – 4 underway with more to come and on-going O&M initiatives
• Building materials remains a good cash cow with stable prospects.
• My year end target price for CIL is 3800 cents implying a return of 26%. My mid-cap bell weather.
17. 017
Sygnia Holdings (SYG) 1344 cents
• A new entrant as I let the ‘Anchor’ loose. Was a tough call.
• As a recently listed business, Sygnia drew much attention but
has not YET garnered the ‘rara’ that the formidable PR, marketing and cult CEO personality that Anchor
has....that may be about to change in 2016 as the ambitious CEO uses her listed platform to grow.
- Fat cash war chest (R250m) post IPO with ‘whispers’ of deals in the pipeline
- Legislative changes that could invigorate Sygnia’s low cost index tracking platform
- Umbrella funds, hedge funds and Private Clients are all major growth drivers in 2016.
• The IPO has raised Sygnia’s profile, especially on the (higher margin) private client side; I
understand inflows are x3 the pre-IPO flows. This made 19% of profit in FY15 and is growing fast.
•My year end target price for Sygnia is 1800 cents implying a return of 34%.
18. 018
Stellar Capital (SCP) 225 cents
• Stock back in after a year’s break. Was top stock in 2013
• R1bn of new capital recently raised with significant cash (via prefs) pumped in by owner MANCO – they
are incentivised to succeed and grow this business.
• Recent management update meetings lead me to be confident of a slew of accretive deals in 2016 and
my view that this business could become an ‘English PSG/Rembrandt’ remains.
• With the CEO having undertaken a slew of ‘roll-up’ deals to create Torre and now his management (and
stake) in SCP needs to be taken seriously.
• I’m a believer in “follow the money’. Manco moved from TOR to SCP. I expect plenty of deals in 2016
as CEO Charles Pettit ‘moves up a gear’ in SCP and my 350c target price implies a return of +56%
19. 019
Torre Holdings (TOR) 374 cents
• Like the star sign Libra...TOR is co-joined to SCP so I include as a
joint Top 5 selection. The two (I believe) are now interlinked.
• Stocks ‘deal’ potential in 2016 means it has to be re-included as I feel its undervalued nature (FPE to
June on my forecast of 38cps is <10x) means it will either re-rate OR majority shareholder SCP may just
take it out. Either way I see upside in Torre in 2016. H1 earnings will show growth but 2H will be better.
• Recent management update on prospects;
• After a year of deals...all are bedding down & performing (cost cuts & efficiency gains) building
solid (and scalable) business units. Most units performing to expectations. Whispers of a sizable
new deal underway could move TOR into the ‘next league’. The ‘roll-up’ continues.
• Capital structure can support growth...balance sheet can fund R800m in cash deals.
• My year end target price for Torre is 500c implying a return of 34%. I can ‘smell a deal’.
20. 020
Santova (SNV) 430 cents
• New stock inclusion and SmallTalk plans to initiating coverage.
• A stock I have been watching for most of 2015.
• At R678m its a small cap but with an impressive management team, building a solid and international
logistics business with recurring Rand hedge qualities and innovative supply chain software solutions.
• The group reported HEPS up by 47,7% on the back of some particularly strong performances in its
offshore logistics operations (Hamburg, Ghana & Mauritius), amplified by the weakening of the rand, which
shows starkly the benefits of currency diversification in the earnings streams. Profits rose 60%
• The acquisitive flurry in 2015 will pay dividends in 2016 esp given where the R vs. Euro/US$ is.
• Proper coverage and ‘marketing’ of the counter could see its becoming ‘mainstream’; that’s my aim. The
stock has had a good run and is starting to gain (some) institutional traction but I feel 2016 ‘could be its year’.
• I’m choosing the counter as my small cap ‘speculative’ play to see ‘what I can do with it’.
• On my initial analysis and ‘look see’ I can see a YE target price of 600c implying a return of 40%.
21. 021
Astoria (ARA) 1799 cents
• New stock inclusion and may be a contentious choice to many as its an offshore fund.
• Listed in late 2015 at 1423cps (and managed by Anchor) the counter converted its raised R1,8bn
in new cash at R14.39 to US$1. The return since IPO is 26% and I expect much more as the Rand
continues its slide. It trades at a premium to NAV presently.
• So why do I chose it? Most of the fund can be replicated BUT lots can’t...and that’s the edge it has.
• 60% international equities (easily replicated) but the remaining 40% in specialised private equity
funds & country funds (at judicious rates) cannot.
• The formidable marketing machine of Anchor is behind the stock and Astoria is the default
offshore asset class for Anchor clients; as Anchor AUM grows so does its push to ARA.
Given the current political, economic and Rand issues in SA...ARA is ‘the fund of the moment’
and I see a minimum target price of 2250c implying a return of 25%....it may surprise!
23. 023
My ‘little black book’ of ideas at the start of 2015....they fared pretty well....
• Kaap Agri. With OTC trading resumed this ‘gem’ of an agri business continues to look like a
compelling holding. With excellent recent FY14 earnings and (my) forecast increased for FY15 (265-
275cps) I can easily justify a 1-year target price of 3500 cents. Perhaps Zeder will make a tilt at
buying it out (for a 4th time) but they will have to pay up...but what is certain is they will ‘creep’ their
stake higher. At 2900c stock a core own.
• Zeder Investments. The stocks has had an astonishing 2014 with the share price surging as the rally
in Pioneer Foods fed into its 31% stake in Pioneer. But at the current share price (to me) it looks fully
priced. So could there be more deals in 2015? An issue which will cross shareholders minds post the
February YE is the truly ‘vast’ fee they will pay PSG (+R250m)...this may lead to ructions...and
perhaps lower fees in future.
• The Food Sector, due to low soft commodity inputs/energy, should have a great 2015 with
poultry (ARL, QFH, SOV) and the OTC agri stocks (Kaap, Senwes, NWK, BKB) coming up top trumps.
24. 024
My ‘little black book’ of ideas at the start of 2016....time will tell....
• PSG Group. Having raised an opportunistic R2.2bn at R245 per share (a discount to the then share price
but a fat premium to its then SOTP)...PSG is a stock I like for the longer term given its investments. BUT,
in 2016 I fear for the underlying valuation of its big assets. Capitec is going to come under strain like all
the banks in SA, I see Curro going nowhere, Zeder has dived...as has its piggy bank fee income to PSG; its
24% premium is now at an 11% discount to SOTP. Little to get excited about here.
• Zeder Investments. Having slammed Zeder for the past three months (justifiably) and the share price
having slumped....there will be minimal fee income to PSG Group from Zeder so shareholders will save a
bundle. But with the asset base at a high discount and further weakness expected from Pioneer....I still
see little need to get excited on Zeder. What could I see? Perhaps PSG increasing their stake....they can
buy R1.00 of asset currently for @66cps...seems like the type of deal they’d do to line their own pockets.
• The Food Sector, reversing the glory year on H1 2015 is in for a torrid year. Drought, a slumping Rand
and a weak consumer base will see contracting volumes, tighter margins and if the maize crop is as bad
as ‘whispered’ (5m tons)...then the poultry sector and milling sector will bleed. I’m avoiding all.
25. 025
My ‘little black book’ of ideas at the start of 2016....time will tell....
• Torre Holdings. This is a counter I have covered for many years since its metamorphosis under CEO
Charles Pettit from a 30c stock to a counter that in mid-2015 reached 550c. The current 374c share price
(on my FPE to June of 38cps (+26%) means the counter is on a 9.8x PE and a 2.2% DY. With ongoing
earnings accruing from past acquisitions (Control Instruments, SetPoint & Elephant Lifting) the counter
stands out from similar industrial counters as it has the ability to deliver positive HEPS growth from its
nimble, ‘roll-up’ deal strategy. With a @R2bn market value and majority shareholder Stellar owning
@35%...I can see a take-out of TOR coming if the market continues to ignore Torre’s unique operating
mantra. Whatever happens in 2016....there will be action in Torre one way or another thus I see
meaningful upside appreciation.
