Sunday Morning Coffee

Barry Ritholtz posted a commentary from Dylan Grice (via John Mauldin) that attempts to redefine the concept of safe havens. Grice's solution is simple and will make the dividend guys happy although I am not sure I agree. It is very much worth reading though.

A similar picture emerges with the standard quality equity names in countries afflicted by the eurozone sovereign crisis. For example, Hellenic Bottling (Greece), Luxoticca (Italy) and Kerry Group (Ireland) all followed a similar pattern, outperforming their domestic equity indices and performing the safe haven role vacated by their government bonds



The picture is Devil's Tower.

John Mauldin and the big guys have done that type of investment. So now the investment news.

I think many investors see large cap dividend stocks (preferably with worldwide exposure to their business)and gold as a suitable investment strategy. The "do thy patient no harm" approach is good enough for many folks who do not have an inclination to search for better portfolio components.
