A Stock Picker?s Market Likely to Continue in 2012

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

Wasatch Advisors Chairman and Chief Investment Officer Sam Stewart recently shared his fourth quarter 2011 insights on the economy, Europe and the stock markets.

Said Stewart about the economy, ?Generally, the market takes its marching orders from the economy. Lately, the economy has been issuing a wide variety of orders, some in conflict with others. Not surprisingly, the market has been acting confused. It has gone up or down depending on who is issuing what orders.

?If we consider only orders issued by the U.S. economy, the news has been uniformly good since my last letter. For example in the last three months, the Citigroup Economic Surprise Index has risen from -50 to over +50 indicating that the U.S. economy has been performing much better than expected.

?To illustrate the conflicting orders the market has been hearing: in contrast to the U.S., the same index for China has fallen from +20 to -20 since last quarter. Not only are global economies issuing confusing orders but politicians have also been a study in conflict. For example, U.S. politicians decided to have a big dustup over extending payroll tax cuts, a policy economists uniformly agree is a good idea. However, our political leaders enjoy arguing so much that they delayed agreeing upon this non-controversial item. It appears as though they argue just for the sake of arguing. It?s not a pretty sight for taxpayers who are the ones actually footing the bill for this frivolous behavior.

?While China?s economy has been underperforming expectations, at least Chinese leaders aren?t arguing among themselves.?

About investing in today?s markets, Stewart said, ?At Wasatch, we look for high quality companies that we believe can thrive even during difficult times. Many people equate high quality companies with blue chip stocks. However, given our focus on smaller companies, most blue chip stocks are off limits to Wasatch. So we have to search for quality in companies that are not (yet) bellwethers of industry. It might be helpful to explain how we discern quality in a company. We look for smaller companies with great business models, growth prospects and strong balance sheets.

?I continue to believe that our current restrained economic growth environment points to a stock picker?s market for some time to come.?

Andre Alves Hosts The 2012 Annual Perennial Plant Exchange In Rochester, NY

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

When separating perennials this year, rather than dropping them in the yard waste container, drop by the Andre Alves Rochester NY Perennial Plant Exchange and find someone to exchange plants with and get new perennial yard plants.

?This is a great way for gardeners to thin their perennial beds, add new plant varieties to any garden, meet other gardeners, share information and experiences...and save money,? said Andre Alves from Rochester NY Perennial Plant Exchange. Andre Alves will be hosting the Rochester NY annual perennial plant exchange in the spring of 2012.

?This is one of the best times of the year to divide perennials. Dig them now while they?re small enough to handle. They?ll adjust to their new location faster with growth just starting? mentions Andre Alves from Rochester, NY.

No registration is required for the event, which will take place at the Rochester, NY 12 Corners. Alves said, ?This is a free event, and only trading of plants is permitted. All plants should be labeled, and only healthy, pest-free plants may be exchanged.?

Plants may be in plastic bags, boxes or any other disposable container. Those who have plants to sell may do so at the neighborhood garage sales in Brighton NY.

Andre Alves from Rochester, NY owns Aware Bear Computer Repair in Pittsford, NY reminds people about not selling plants or garden supplies at the Rochester NY Perennial Exchange group. ?The Rochester Perennial Exchange group was created in order to promote the plant exchange between neighbors and friends. The whole idea is to exchange the surplus plants instead of throwing them out,? said Alves from Pittsford, NY.

When gardeners bring a plant to the free Perennial Plant Exchange, a space where the exchange can take place will be given. Labeling all plants is recommended in order to help the plant identification process. Plants should be identified by type, such as ?flowering plant,? ?shrub,? ?non-flowering plant,? and ?tree.? These labels can help expedite the exchange process.
