Dark warnings about the impending sellside cull<\/a>
\nThis FT article starts with the premise that the only way to beat the market is to focus on markets which are under-researched. Whilst this premise is perhaps flawed, for many managers it might be true – partly because their stock portfolios have so many positions. The article goes on to argue that longer-term the current regulatory changes will be bad for the sell side analyst community and that a smaller sell side analyst community will be of benefit to active stock pickers.<\/p>\n

\nThis James McIntosh article in the FT takes a look at the current environment for deep-value and contrarian investors, where there are \u201cslim pickings for contrarians in developed markets\u201d. It takes in some perspectives about where some investors are finding value today \u2013 although some of these areas would require the need for, as the author puts it \u201ca strong stomach and the willingness to hold on when things go from bad to worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
