Forum List » Guru News and Commentaries Guru News, Stock picks and commentaries The Top Stocks Warren Buffett and Donald Yacktman Agree On
Posted by: Holly LaFon

Date: December 3, 2012 04:48PM
Warren Buffett and Donald Yacktman have much in common as investors: They both look for good, predictable, undervalued companies that they typically hold for quite a while longer than most investors.
"It's what you buy and what you pay for it – for me, this is ultimately what this business boils down to…" Yacktman said in an interview at Texas Lutheran. "By being disciplined and buying at low prices, you're shifting the odds in your favor." Through their strategies, they have both also produced superior returns. Yacktman beat the S&P 500's return 174.5 to 34.9 cumulatively over the past 10 years; Buffett XYZ According to GuruFocus' Aggregated Portfolio of Gurus, these are the top stocks the two investors own in common: Procter & Gamble (PG), Viacom (VIA) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). Procter & Gamble (PG) Donald Yacktman owns 27,781,353 shares of PG, valued as $1.93 billion as of Sept. 30, 2012, which accounts for 11.6% of his equity portfolio. Warren Buffett owns 52,793,078 shares of PG, valued as $3.66 billion as of Sept. 30, 2012, which accounts for 4.9% of his equity portfolio. The Procter & Gamble Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of a range of branded consumer packaged goods. The company produced $83.7 billion in revenue in 2012, but revenue has been slowing in the last five years. The company had average revenue per share growth of 4.1% in the last five years, while EBITDA declined at a rate of 1.1%, free cash flow increased 0.9% and book value increased 2%. Over the past 10 years the same rates increased at 6.8%, 6.5%, 8.2% and 18.6%, respectively. Return on equity and return on assets also both declined annually for the last four years: The flagging results prompted activist investor Bill Ackman to purchase a 1% stake in P&G for $1.8 billion. On Sept. 27, he pushed for the resignation of its co-chairman and CEO, Robert McDonald, who took over in 2009, according to Reuters. The company is a strong dividend payer. It has paid a dividend for 122 consecutive years, and increased it for the past 56 consecutive years. For the fiscal year 2012, the company has increased its expected share repurchase outlook to $4 billion to $6 billion, from $4 billion, its previous forecast. P&G has a P/E of 18.73, P/S of 2.31 and P/B of 2.97. Viacom (VIA) Donald Yacktman owns 12,044,963 shares of VIAB, valued as $645 million as of Sept. 30, 2012, which accounts for 3.9% of his equity portfolio. Warren Buffett owns 7,607,200 shares of VIAB, valued as $408 million as of Sept. 30, 2012, which accounts for 0.54% of his equity portfolio. Viacom is a global entertainment content company whose family of prominent and respected brands includes the multiplatform properties of MTV Networks, BET Networks, Paramount Pictures, Paramount Home Entertainment and DreamWorks. In the last five years, its revenue per share increased at a rate of 50.1% annually, EBITDA at 53.4%, free cash flow at 35.2% and book value at 7.5%. Last year was below average; revenue per share increased 1%, EBITDA increased 12.8%, free cash flow declined 5.8% and book value declined 6.5%. Viacom's full-year 2012 declined 7% to $13.89 billion, due primarily to 19% lower theatrical and home entertainment revenues in the filmed entertainment segment. Advertising revenues also slipped 5%. At Sept. 30, 2012, Viacom's debt outstanding totaled $8.15 billion, including capital lease obligations, up from $7.37 billion the previous year. The company's cash decreased to $848 million, down from $1.02 billion the previous year. The company has also been aggressive in repurchasing its shares: Yacktman commented on the company in his August interview with GuruFocus: "It is also important to be flexible, and I think our behavior in the 2008-2009 period demonstrates that. With AmeriCredit (ACF), News Corp (NWS), and Viacom (VIA), all of the stocks had some risk to them, but they offered potentially breathtaking returns. So we sold of Proctor & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson , We kept some defensive positions like Coke that we thought would be durable even if the market continued to go down because we felt on balance the portfolio had enough securities that could rise dramatically if the market stabilized or recovered." Viacom has a market cap of $26.56 billion; its shares were traded at around $51.1 with a P/E ratio of 12.2 and P/S ratio of 1.9. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) Donald Yacktman owns 8,387,771 shares of JNJ, valued as $578 million as of Sept. 30, 2012, which accounts for 3.5% of his equity portfolio. Warren Buffett owns 492,028 shares of JNJ, valued as $34 million as of Sept. 30, 2012, which accounts for 0.045% of his equity portfolio. Johnson & Johnson is engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of a range of products in the healthcare field. The company in the last five years produced revenue per share growth at an annual rate of 4.1%, EBITDA at 1.4%, free cash flow at 3.2% and book value growth at 9.8%. Return on equity has been in decline for the last three years, and return on equity for the last two. In the company's third quarter, sales were $17.1 billion, a 6.5% increased from the previous year; net earnings were $3 billion, with earnings per share of $1.05, representing increases of 2.3% and 0.8% from the previous year. "Our third-quarter results reflected continued sales momentum driven by strong growth of key products, successful new product launches, and the addition of Synthes to our family of companies. We advanced our pipelines with regulatory approvals for a number of new products, the submission of several new drug applications, and the completion of several strategic collaborations," said Alex Gorsky, Chief Executive Officer. Over the last 10 years, the company has been aggressively buying back shares: Johnson & Johnson has a market cap of $192.25 billion; its shares were traded at around $69.56 with a P/E ratio of 13.8 and P/S ratio of 3.

As we move into the cooler months, I wanted to add to my growing collection of handmade items, a warm and slouchy crochet beanie.
If I'm honest, I've been reluctant to embark on sewing any kind of pants as part of my New Year's Resolution project to sew one item of clothing each month of 2012.
September is the perfect month for thinking about making a comfortable cotton shirt that can be dressed up with a nice woolen cardigan or jacket on cooler days or worn alone for when the low sun is warm and shining.
I am now embarking on the 11th month of my year-long resolution to sew one wardrobe item each month during 2012, and I can easily say I have enjoyed every minute of my sewing marathon this year.
Big pom poms are a fun accent that is getting a lot of attention in home decor projects right now, and shabby flowers are a trend that continue to be popular. I decided to combine them, using them to make a soft, fluffy wreath.
In order to build on the sewing skills I acquired last year, I'm determined to sew one item of children's clothing every month during 2013. This month, I'm making a coat for my six year old daughter, using the School Days Coat...

I have written some open-source software, some to scratch an itch, and some as part of my research.
Currently Active Projects
mahotas is a computer vision package for Python. It operates on numpy arrays. It is implemented in C++ as it has a strong efficiency focus.
License: MIT.
Jug is a task based framework for running embarassingly parallel code in Python. You can also think of it as a light-weight python-based map-reduce environment.
License: MIT.
Hex is a TeX engine in Haskell. It currently does not do much, but it is progressing. The goal is a full reimplementation.
License: GPL.
This is the system behind this website. It is a django based content managed system, where all the content is stored on flat text files. I use git to manage those text files and publish on the website.
License: Affero GPL.
Reproducible Research
I have also made some code available for reproducible research.
Dormant Projects
These are projects that work but which I am not too interested in pursuing right now, but which I might revive in the future.
Pymorph: Python Morphology Toolbox
This is a Python image morphology toolbox which I have adopted (i.e., taken over maintaining). This works, but I am not adding any more functionality.
- Includes basic operations such as
- erode
- dilate
- open
- tophat opening
- watershed
- ...
License: BSD.
ncreduce: No Copy Reduce Operations for Numpy
This improves on the speed of reduce-type operations in numpy. The code works great for its purpose, and I still resort to it everytime that ndarray.sum shows up in my profiles as a time hog (surprisingly often). However, it is too large (the binary is huge).
I learned a lot about numpy's internals while doing it and I developed this technique for writing fast clean C++ to work on numpy code.
License: GPL.
This used ImageMagick to read images. It has been superceded by imread.
Bits & Pieces
These are little projects that are helpful, but not part of anything larger.
FASTA Python Reader
Parses FASTA files in Python. As a major feature, it correctly handles comments (which many programmes do not). As a major mis-feature, it was one of the first Python classes that I wrote and it shows.

Jimi: A brilliant little innovation for iMac owners
The late great rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix was an innovator, doing things with amplifier feedback that had never been done before and changing the sound of rock music forever. Now design firm Bluelounge has given Jimi's name to a nifty little innovation that makes life easier for owners of the newer slim unibody iMacs. While it won't have as lasting an impact on history of the world as Jimi Hendrix's music did, the Jimi USB Port Extension (US$14.95) at least gives iMac users something to be thankful for every time they want to plug in a USB cable.
Jimi is cleverly designed to transition the vertical USB port on the back of the iMac to a horizontal USB port that pokes out from the bottom of your computer. Rather than blindly fumbling around trying to plug something into a port on the iMac, it's right at your fingertips at the bottom of the display. Jimi is unobtrusive and works on all four USB 3.0 ports on the 21.5" iMac slim unibody and the three leftmost (as viewed from the back of the computer) USB 3.0 ports on the 27" iMac slim unibody.
There's really not much more to be said about this little J-shaped port extender, other than if you have one of the late 2012 or newer iMacs, you need to buy at least one Jimi. The first time that you use it and don't have to grope the back of your iMac trying to find a port, you'll thank me.

The Quangle Wangle's Hat
On the top of the Crumpetty Tree
The Quangle Wangle sat,
But his face you could not see,
On account of his Beaver Hat.
For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side
And bells, and buttons, and loops, and lace,
So that nobody every could see the face
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee.II.
The Quangle Wangle said
To himself on the Crumpetty Tree, --
"Jam; and jelly; and bread;
"Are the best of food for me!
"But the longer I live on this Crumpetty Tree
"The plainer than ever it seems to me
"That very few people come this way
"And that life on the whole is far from gay!"
Said the Quangle Wangle Quee.III.
But there came to the Crumpetty Tree,
Mr. and Mrs. Canary;
And they said, -- "Did every you see
"Any spot so charmingly airy?
"May we build a nest on your lovely Hat?
"Mr. Quangle Wangle, grant us that!
"O please let us come and build a nest
"Of whatever material suits you best,
"Mr. Quangle Wangle Quee!"IV.
And besides, to the Crumpetty Tree
Came the Stork, the Duck, and the Owl;
The Snail, and the Bumble-Bee,
The Frog, and the Fimble Fowl;
(The Fimble Fowl, with a corkscrew leg;)
And all of them said, -- "We humbly beg,
"We may build out homes on your lovely Hat, --
"Mr. Quangle Wangle, grant us that!
"Mr. Quangle Wangle Quee!"V.
And the Golden Grouse came there,
And the Pobble who has no toes, --
And the small Olympian bear, --
And the Dong with a luminous nose.
And the Blue Baboon, who played the Flute, --
And the Orient Calf from the Land of Tute, --
And the Attery Squash, and the Bisky Bat, --
All came and built on the lovely Hat
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee.VI.
And the Quangle Wangle said
To himself on the Crumpetty Tree, --
"When all these creatures move
"What a wonderful noise there'll be!"
And at night by the light of the Mulberry moon
They danced to the Flute of the Blue Baboon,
On the broad green leaves of the Crumpetty Tree,
And all were as happy as happy could be,
With the Quangle Wangle Quee.

Artwork Description
for a competition on PIXELBRUSH entitled "MASSIVE"
depicting a creature of colossal size and strength, snaring a ship from orbit and tearing it apart...right after Sauron left his mark HAHA..well not quite but this is actually a good excuse to paint a horse, something i haven't done since 2001!!!.
I came to your page to thank you for the lovely comment you posted on my butterfly image, and I was blown away by all the awesome art you've got here. I looked at most of it... and half wanted to comment all of them... but then I realized I would be a broken record saying, wow, and ooh, and nice, in as many ways as I can image. So I'm writing a comment for all of it more or less here. I love your style, the detail is exquisite but no over the top, you use great color schemes and the lighting is always so nice and misty soft yet strong. The images you create are truly original and effective. I love the almost fractal feel to much of what you put up. Thanx for sharing your art.

Misty Mountain Model Railroad & Museum
This is the largest privately owned O-gauge railroad in the country. Misty Mountain Model Railroad features a 3,400-square-foot layout with 14 O-gauge Lionel trains traveling on a mile of track over 12 bridges, four trestles and through 15 tunnels.
The layout is a fantasy journey through sights and cities in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Highlights include a 6-foot bridge that raises to allow visitors to enter the display and a 17-foot trestle recreated in Tallulah Gorge, the deepest gorge East of the Mississippi. Some 300 pieces from Department 56 are sprinkled throughout communities, such as Gainesville (GA), Copperhill (TN), Helen (GA), Kennesaw (GA), Atlanta and Biltmore Estates (NC).
The Misty Mountain Railroad is offered year-round for a one-hour tour beginning promptly at 1:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, Friday and Saturdays. Start with a walkthrough of the huge collection of trains, an overview of the railroad, and then the model railroad upstairs.

At the prodding of concerned, vocal neighbors, the Anchorage Assembly passed resolutions Tuesday requiring two Mountain View Brown Jugs to acquire modified conditional-use permits in the next 180 days, giving residents the chance to weigh-in on the liquor stores' operations.
Diane Mead, the acting president of the Mountain View Community Council, testified before the Assembly that neighbors have complained of witnessing inebriates throwing up and having sex in front of a bus stop near Clark Middle School. She said Brown Jug bags litter the area, tangling with empty liquor and beer bottles.
"As operated now, I don't feel that the two stores are compatible with our neighborhood," Mead said.
The stores in question sit around the block from one another -- one at 119 Klevin St. and the other at 131 Bragaw St. Walk about 280 feet south and you'll find the middle school with more than 1,100 students.
"We'd like to have our children go to school without having to go through, you know, step over or be around or be harassed by people who are inebriated," Don Crandall, a Mountain View resident, told the Assembly. "It's not a good example for the kids."
But O.C. Madden, Brown Jug director of operations, said the package stores shouldn't be blamed for the behavior of individuals. He said the stores have already raised prices, retrained employees and shifted management.
"I agree there was an influx of inebriates into Mountain View this year and I think that the primary reason for that was that the Inlet Inn was torn down," he said. "And we've experienced, and I'm sure long-term Anchorage residents will know, that when you squeeze the public inebriate bubble in one part of town it shows up in another because there has never been an attempt to actually deal with the problem."
Assemblyman Patrick Flynn, who spearheaded the measures, hopes that the two sides can reach a compromise on sales, hours and labeling by the time the new permit comes before the Assembly for approval.
Flynn and some Assembly members have latched onto this re-permitting process as a way to open up conversation between residents and unruly liquor stores. Last year, the Assembly created a new conditional-use permit for the Spenard In & Out that called for the business to start labeling individual booze containers.
To sell or distribute alcohol, a business must have a liquor license from the state and a one-time conditional-use permit from the municipality. But in 1994, Anchorage standardized conditional-use permitting. This has left many long-standing liquor stores today with outdated, but "grandfathered" permits, like the two Brown Jugs.
Businesses must renew their liquor licenses with the state every two years, a renewal that the Assembly can protest.
When the Mountain View stores' licenses came up for renewal this year, the Assembly voted 10 to 1 Tuesday that the stores must apply for and obtain new conditional-use permits in the given time frame as a prerequisite for the licenses.
"I think we're making the right decision by letting the community council and the operator figure out what the right balance is and bringing it back to us in 180 days," Flynn said, whose district covers Downtown Anchorage.
Shirley Cote, director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, said that as of Feb. 14 there were 486 liquor licenses in Anchorage. Francis McLaughlin, a senior planner with the municipality, estimated that hundreds of those licensed businesses have outdated permits. Permit modification costs $1,080, he said. The Assembly has not planned a course of action for the other outdated permit holders who haven't caused a community stir, Flynn said.
Assemblyman Bill Starr, who represents Eagle River and Chugiak, was the only no vote on the two resolutions. He described the modified permitting process as burdensome.
"I think this is a little bit punitive, Mr. Flynn, and it confuses the folks that the next time a renewal comes up we can mess with their conditional use," he said. "The only reason they're here is because there is no conditional use, a technicality of old age."
Madden hired Hellenthal & Associates to poll Mountain View residents about their neighborhood Brown Jug stores this month. He read the results to the assembly -- 50.2 percent of the 271 polled wanted "to be able to buy alcoholic beverages at a liquor store free from government imposed restrictions on minimum size, minimum price and types of alcoholic beverages that may be sold." About 88 percent supported holding public inebriates accountable, he said.
Meanwhile in Juneau, Rep. Geran Tarr, D-Anchorage, introduced a bill Monday to extend the buffer between schools and alcohol stores from 200 feet to 400 feet. In a prepared statement, she said she chose to introduce the legislation after hearing student and parent complaints at local community council meetings.
"I'm proud that the students spoke up and wanted to do something," she said. "This bill is about keeping our students safe."

Our trek to the audiologist became an interesting venture. It revealed the tip of a huge iceberg called: "Can you hear me now?" Actually, "Are you listening, pretending or truly unable to understand my words?"
Obviously, there had been an ongoing discussion as I tried to ferret out the truth behind the questions and their accompanying responses, or lack thereof.
Choir festival practices begin

Why should I feel lonely?
Why is it I do not feel at peace?
These are questions everyone may ask from time to time, but this question is asked often by those who struggle with depression.
Depression is nothing to be ashamed of, and being depressed doesn't mean there is something in your life that is horrible. Sometimes depression is a chemical imbalance.
