Higher Performance comes with finesse
We have been wringing our hands over the macro economic, governmental and regulatory actions for some time here. In the end, though, the top performers will be those that can maneuver the micro economic issues their company faces each day.
In every turbulence experience in the past there are companies that muddle through, fail, and do exceptionally well. Those that do exceptionally well are those that properly "read the tea leaves" affecting their business and ignore the noise that does not affect them in the short term.
This economic cycle is no different.
Watch what the executives say, watch how they execute and you can come through these current times not just unscathed but prospering.
It is something like one dark night in the winter of 2006. I was in Emory Hospital being treated for Burkitt's Lymphoma. I had my computer, of course, and had been looking at statistical data related to this disease for days. Then I had an epiphany--the whole bell shaped graph does not apply to me, I am only a dot on this graph. It turned out, fortunately, that my dot was in a good place on that graph.
It is the same when you look at the performance of companies in times like these, but in this case you have more control. Do your homework, study the companies and invest in the ones whose dots are in the place you want to be on the performance graph.
No company is average. All are exceptional, some exceptional good, some exceptional bad. You must do your homework to find out who is who.
