The Return of Value Investing
Value investing spent fifteen years out of fashion. This year, it's beating the index almost everywhere you look β energy up roughly 20%, industrials 17%, healthcare 15%, utilities 14%, financials 12% β while the S&P 500 sits near 8β9%. This week we dig into the return of value investing and what the greatest investors of all time can teach us right now. Β On this week's Money On Tap, we go deep on the tradition that runs from Benjamin Graham through Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger: buying good businesses at sensible prices, collecting the dividends they pay you, and letting compounding do the heavy lifting. We explain why value went dark from roughly 2009 to 2025 β cheap money was rocket fuel for growth stocks β and why higher interest rates have flipped the script: growth borrows, value pays you. We connect the rotation to worn-out tech traders taking gains, the 401(k) flywheel, and the demographic engine underneath it all β roughly 10,000 baby boomers reaching retirement age every day, all needing present-day income. Plus Pepsi's 53-year dividend streak and a candid conversation about when mutual funds and ETFs stop making sense and direct stock ownership starts. Β What you'll learn: - The sector scoreboard: energy ~20%, industrials ~17%, healthcare ~15%, utilities ~14%, financials ~12%, staples ~9% β vs. the S&P 500 near 8β9% - Graham vs. Buffett: buy cheap and sell at fair value, or buy outstanding businesses and hold for decades - Munger's rule: "The big money is not in the buying or the selling, but in the waiting" - Why low interest rates buried value for fifteen years β and why higher rates brought it back - Margin of safety: the idea that protects you when you're wrong - Why money is rotating into companies that pay you to own them β dividends over promises - The demographic engine: 10,000 boomers a day retiring and the demand for present-day income - The compounding story: Buffett's American Express dividends now exceed his entire original investment β every year - When funds stop making sense: the case for direct stock ownership at higher net worth Plus Money In The News: - SpaceX says it's coming for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile customers β but does satellite cell service actually work? - The Treasury has refunded $100 billion in invalidated tariff revenue to companies β and none of it is coming back to you - A tale of two housing markets: luxury demand surges while starter-home buyers finally see inventory Want a white paper on this week's topic?
