2023 Observations

  • Short Term US Interest rates  have climbed from just above  0% and now stand  at 5.28% for one month  T-Bills and 5.42% for  three-month
    T-Bills…

https://home.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/TextView?type=daily_treasury_bill_rates&field_tdr_date_value=2023

 

  • Through 7 September 2023, the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite (CCMP) has risen ~32% whilst the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) has risen ~39% led by  AAPL,
    NVDA, TSLA et al., which have accounted for 60% of this year’s performance.

 

  • As an example of  the madness of crowds,  we have chosen TSLA.  TSLA, and the ~51  Wall Street Analysts (on  Bloomberg) who cover  TSLA,
    would, apparently, like investors to believe that TSLA is a tech company, not a car company; in the end analysis, if logic prevails,  it
    doesn’t actually make any difference because if TSLA is a tech  company, then so are all the other new EV car manufacturers.  Logically,
    therefore, as with every  industry, it will  come down to  who survives and how  much money they  make…the answer, in  our view is  that
    margins will  shrink as  competition intensifies,  and many  will go  bust before  there is  a clear  winner. Ultimately,  however,  the
    transportation industry has never yielded above average long term returns…and we don’t think this time is any different…even if Mr  Musk
    and his groupies believe we are no longer driving cars but tech-platforms  on wheels…call them what you want, but at some point it  will
    invariably come down to ‘Free Cash Flow’, not a new paradigm to describe an old industry.

 

  • For those who don’t agree, they may want to cast an eye  over the graphic and price chart below which highlights the insanity of  TSLA’s
    recent $777 billion market value.

The left-hand column shows the Market Cap of 12 international ‘car’ manufacturers vs. TSLA, whilst the right-hand column shows the  combined
number of cars sold by the twelve vs. TSLA. Go figure?!

 

 

TSLA 5 Year Share Price Chart

 

Chairman’s Statement

 

Macro

H1 2023 was all about Big Tech, the  magnificent seven as they are now referred to,  META, GOOG(L), MSFT, AMZN, NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, which  now
represent more than 40% of US Large Cap Active Managers’ Assets, compared with 12% last year. (Source: Bank of America).

There is always a problem in the making when stock market leadership narrows to the point of stupidity…just as with the timeless  children’s
game of musical chairs…at some point there will be nowhere to sit, and when investors decide that NVDA may not be worth 41x Revenues or that
Apple, Amazon Meta, Alphabet and Microsoft are  in fact mature companies, valuations will compress  and the price of these shares will  fall
dramatically (read plummet).

For those die-hard believers that the above ‘Famous Five’ are  still growth stock, the chart below courtesy of StoneX Financial  graphically
shows what Momentum and Quant investors simply ignore, namely the fact that Revenues of the above 5 companies barely keep up with US nominal
gross domestic product and their collective net income  fell to $263 billion in the past four  quarters, down 9% from $289 billion the  year
before.

As Vincent Deluard of StoneX points out “If stock prices are the net present value of their future cash flows, higher rates should  penalize
growth stocks, (or perceived growth stocks), which derive most of their profits from distant profits.”

These ‘mega’ companies should clearly weather an economic slowdown or recession better than more cyclical companies…but they are not immune!

Where next?

The US Govt. is famous (in old Westerns!) for speaking with a forked tongue…on the one hand the FED is raising interest rates, and reversing
quantative easing, whilst on  the other, the  Federal Government continues to  spend, like money  grows on trees, which  if you oversee  the
printing press, it clearly does. Exactly one year ago, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, meant in large part to deliver on
the administration’s climate goals. The law provides  for $369 billion in new spending to  help accelerate renewable energy projects in  the
US, increase EV auto manufacturing  and spur electric everything adoption.  This latest ‘give away’ follows  the $1.9 trillion January  2021
Economic Rescue Plan,  which augmented  the $3 trillion  coronavirus relief  bill from  March 2020, and  the $900  billion legislation  from
December 2020, which was scaled back to garner support from Senate Republicans.

Clearly, some (read a lot) of this money has flowed into the stock market and consequently ramped-up prices.

Stock markets are driven by sentiment, by a feeling of well-being and, lest we forget, by greed.

For the past nine  months, experienced commentators,  including Jeremy Grantham, founder  of GMO, have  warned of the dangers  of a 3  Sigma
Bubble and the devastating impact that  a massive correction in stocks,  bonds and real estate will  have on personal and corporate  wealth.
Few, very few have listened and the ‘smart  money’ managers that shared Jeremy’s point of view  and took on large short positions have  been
flattened by the magnitude of the increase in share prices in 2023…led by the Magnificent 7.

Like it or not, the Board of THAL believe that sentiment and by consequence, money flows, have already changed direction and the combination
of higher interest rates,  spiking energy prices  and Apple’s Black Swan(?)  moment following the  Chinese Govt. ban on  the use of  Apple’s
I-Phones has finally forced even the most ardent  believers of ‘to infinity and beyond’ valuations,  to the need for earnings and free  cash
flow.

We believe that the S&P 500 (SPX), the NASDAQ Composite (CCMP) and  the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) have already begun a correction which coupled  with
declining economic activity and reduced earnings could evolve into a perfect storm  which could in turn result in a decline in the S&P  well
below fair value (estimated at about -20% below  current levels) as a correction overshoots. To  this end, a small portion of the  Company’s
assets have again been invested in various SPX, QQQ,VIX and TSLA hedges.

Holdings -

  • There was little or no movement in our positions in H1 2023.

 

Real Estate  -

  • The Real Estate owned by the Chairman, but pledged to the Company, is currently let until September 2024. Planning permission has and is
    being sought for certain  developments, which it  is hoped will increase  the value of  the property. It is  anticipated that the  sales
    process will begin in Q4 2023.and that a sale can be completed in Q4 2023/Q1 2024.

 

Janzz  -  2 https://janzz.technology/

  • Janzz recently closed a strategic investment by subsidiary of major Japanese industry market-leader

 

ALNA -  3 https://www.alina-holdings.com/

  • Please refer to Alina website

 

AMOI -  4 https://anemoi-international.com/

  • Please refer to Anemoi website

 

NWT -  5 https://newmarksecurity.com/

  • Share price performance of NWT continued to recover slowly through H1 2023. We still believe that, given the age of its chairman and the
    fact that he has three  children, two of whom are  not involved in the company,  that NWT will, in due  course, be sold. We are  patient
    investors and will continue to hold our position.

 

 

Conclusion

We anticipate a further correction  to US and European Stock  Markets, and remain cautious on  the macro-economic outlook, which we  believe
could deteriorate significantly this winter.
