Terrible Year For Investors????

By: Michael Keane

There was a recent article published on Yahoo! Finance and Bloomberg that had the headline "2015 Is turning out to be a terrible year for investors" (link here). This caught the fund's attention for a couple of reasons. We disagree with the assertion that it has been a terrible year for investors. The fund also feels that this kind of headline mismanagement should be checked when needed.

While the fund agrees that 2015 continues to be a tough year for those investors looking to sell shares, those investors looking to actually invest are not really complaining about the downturn. The fund was able to pick up shares of MFA, Ford, and AT&T in the past six months at wonderful valuations. Without the downturn, this could not have happened.

The importance of a headline cannot be understated. KDK Fund is always looking to maximize the message to its readers when thinking about the proper headline. While reading a headline like the article has might gain short term reading, it actually does long term damage to the brand of news outlet delivering it. Seasoned investors know to avoid articles with these types of headlines because they know the content of the article will probably be just as worthless. While KDK Fund is aware that sometimes the writer (in this case Wes Goodman) does not have any control of the headline printed for the story, he or she should make it clear to the editors that the headline should match their quality of writing. Seeing Bloomberg at the headline game is kind of weak and more the norm of its main competitor. 

Well rounded investors know that there is ample opportunity in all markets. Seeing this type of headline screams for new investors and those consumed with knee jerk reaction emotions towards the market. Not only is the headline wrong in regards to the message, it shows a priority on gaining readers eyes instead of educating its readers brains. 

Happy Investing!

A portion of the dividends will be reinvested. Some reasons why the shares were purchased are below.

- Progressive business practices are continuing
- A high quarterly dividend
- Involved in business that can be adapted quickly

New Purchase of Ford Shares

KDK Fund has just purchased shares of Ford. The cost of the trade was $14.82 per share not including commissions. The goal of the trade is to hold onto the shares as long as the business, and management are successful. The plan is for dividends that are not paid out to the fund's investors to be reinvested. At some point in the future, out of the money call options will probably be sold to generate another source of income. Optionshouse was used to execute the trade. Reasons for the trade are below.

- 4% dividend
- A Lower PE Ratio
- Priced around support
- Good Management
- Growth in the Industry
- Leader in the Industry

Holy Wealth Builder Netflix Batman!!!!

Story by Michael Keane

Well, well, well.

Netflix has taken Apple's lead and with one move, just created the possibility of shareholders to become immensely wealthier in the future.

The company announced today that they are splitting their stock 7 to 1 (Bloomberg story link here). That means that every shareholder will now have seven shares for every share they originally purchased. This is amazing news!

It is amazing news. This has opened up the options market to thousands of investors. For every investor that owns just 15 shares today, you will now own 105 shares. This will allow each of these investors the opportunity to sell call options on Netflix. That can be an extra stream of revenue that can go on forever. This is one of the ways that wealth can be built. With Netflix being a volatile stock, the options pricing should be fairly high.
