We now see a reversal of that accommodation to combat real-world inflation, and that reversal is leading to a global repricing of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can look at the damage among dubious investments, like SPACs, but I find stocks like Shopify (SHOP) more instructive.&nbsp; That was a marginally profitable company that hit its stride during Covid.&nbsp; It became a stellar outperformer, but began to stumble even before its recent quarterly loss.&nbsp; The stock is down about 80% from its highs, but is still worth over C$50 billion and sports a forward P\/E above 200.&nbsp; Is the decline the fault of SHOP, or the crazy valuation that investors placed upon it?&nbsp; I\u2019d assert that most of the blame falls upon the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three themes that define the excesses that we saw in investors\u2019 love of speculative growth stock:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Disruption is a means to an end, not a goal in and of itself.&nbsp; Many of our greatest companies were disruptors at one time or another.&nbsp; Microsoft (MSFT) disrupted the computing industry, for example.&nbsp; But those companies found a path to sustained profitability.&nbsp; Being a disruptor without a path to profitability ultimately does little good for investors. (Think Uber and Lyft)<\/li><li>Price\/Sales is a lousy metric.&nbsp; Yes, companies need to grow their revenues if they hope to grow their profits.&nbsp; But sales without profit or cash flow is unsustainable.&nbsp; I am reminded of an old joke where one partner in a business notes that they are losing money on every item they sell, and his partner responds, \u201cyes, but we\u2019ll make it up in volume.\u201d&nbsp; I believe that was the rationale for many investments recently.<\/li><li>If real rates are zero or negative, one can discount future cash flows to infinity.&nbsp; If we accept that a stock price represents a share the future cash flows and\/or earnings that a company will earn, lower interest rates lead to higher net present values.&nbsp; If we use an interest rate of zero or less, we can rationalize any value we\u2019d like.&nbsp; And many investors did.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this mean that value stocks are poised for an extended period of outperformance over growth?&nbsp; Maybe, since we don\u2019t appear to be close to fully unwinding the monetary stimulus that led to growth\u2019s valuation.&nbsp; But if we consider valuation and the dispersion of returns, slow and steady does appear to be in a good position relative to fast and furious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of us are familiar with the fable about the tortoise and the hare, a cautionary tale about overconfidence.
