Con ese titulo quien no va a leer este articulo. Es excelente, una buena manera de poner las cosas, parece simplista pero no deja de tener razon.

Por que el papel higuienico es mejor que el cash
El estratega contrarian Rusell Napier ve signos a seguir en el stock market mirando al papel higuienico. Por que alguien tendria cash o en el banco cuando puede comprar papel higuienico. Napier piensa que los bonos ya han subido de precio demasiado y estan caros comparados con el stock market que el piensa va a seguir subiendo.
Los fabricantes de papel higuienico Kimberly-Clark hacen papel higuienico de la misma manera que el Fed hace dolares. Si pongo un dolar en el banco, tengo suerte si me paga el 0.5%. Si compro Kimberly Clark me da un dividendo de 4$, siete veces mas, el dice.
La teoria es que los inversionistas pronto se cansaran de no recibir retornos por su dinero en cash y bonos, y habra una movilizacion de depositos a otros activos que pagan mejores retornos. El obvio lugar es el high yield equity como Kimberly Clark, el dice.
Y el espera que Kimberly Clark siga bien no importa con lo que pase con la economia.
Digamos que el Fed se equivoca grandemente y pone a trabajar su impresora y produce montones de dolares. My dividendo va a subir, Kimberly Clark definitivamente va a ganar mas dinero en un escenario inflacionario., el dice. sugiriendo que marcas como Cottonelle y Scott tienen suficiente poder como pasarle los costos al consumidor.
Que pasa si ocurre otra recesion?
Digamos que el Fed se equivoca terriblemente en la otra direccion y no imprime suficiente dinero y nos vamos a otra recesion, el dice. Kimberly Clark nunca a cortado dividendos. Tengo la informacion desde 1977. Nunca lo han hecho. Durante la GRan Recesion, crecio 13%
Why Toilet Paper is Better Than Cash.
By Alex Frangos
CLSA’s contrarian strategist Russell Napier sees a clue to the stock market’s direction in toilet paper.
“Why would anybody want to have money on deposit when you can own toilet paper?,” he asked in Hong Kong at the brokerage house’s annual investor forum. Mr. Napier thinks the bond market has peaked and bonds’ expensive prices compared to stocks signals an equity bull market is in the offing.
The proof is in rolls of cushiony white paper.
Napier points to toilet paper maker Kimberly-Clark Corp.
“Kimberly Clark, as you probably know, makes toilet paper. And the Federal Reserve makes dollar bills. If I take a dollar bill and change it into a deposit in a bank, if I’m lucky I get 0.5%. If I buy Kimberly Clark — it owns big printing presses that print toilet paper — it gives me a dividend yield of 4%, seven times higher,” he says.
That mismatch in these seemingly different types of paper signals a massive bull run for stocks, up 30% over the next few years, Napier says. That’s because the ratio between dividend yields on stocks and the yields on bonds, which guide the ultralow rates on cash deposits at banks, are at cyclical high, similar to 1963, 1974 and 1979, he says. Intense, albeit short-lived bull markets followed. (Napier uses economist Robert Schiller’s data on dividend yields)
The theory is that investors will soon tire of earning no yield on cash and bonds, and there will be a “mobilization of deposits” into assets with better returns. “The obvious place is to high-yielding equities,” such as Kimberly Clark, he says.
And he figures Kimberly Clark will continue to deliver no matter how the economy performs.
“Let’s say the Federal Reserve makes a big mistake and puts its machine into overdrive and produces lots of dollar bills. My dividend is going to go up. Kimberly Clark is definitely going to make more money in an inflationary environment,” he says, suggesting the maker of brands such as Cottonelle and Scott has enough leverage over consumers to pass on higher costs.
What happens in another recession?
“Let’s say the Fed screws up in the other direction and it doesn’t print enough money and we do get a recession,” he says. “Kimberly Clark has never cut its dividend. I have data to 1977. They’ve never cut it. Through the Great Recession, it grew 13%.”
