Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pathology (Research Emphasis) - Baltimore, MD
The Johns Hopkins Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology invites applications for our 4-year postdoctoral fellowship (research emphasis). The successful candidate will receive 3 years of outstanding research training in a discipline of their choice. Research training is preceded by one year of intensive training in anatomic pathology in preparation for certification by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP). This training is comparable to residency/PhD programs offered at veterinary schools, but is distinguished by the broader research opportunities afforded by a large medical institution and the opportunity to pursue a PhD in a stellar JHU graduate program.
This is a 2-part program: three years of research training, funded by the National Institutes of Health, preceded by a year of pathology training funded by Research Animal Resources. During the first year the postdoctoral fellows gain outstanding clinical experience in anatomic pathology through gross and microscopic examination of cases from the JHU animal colonies, local veterinary practitioners, the Maryland State Laboratory, the Maryland Zoo and the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Didactic training consists of weekly lectures and pathology seminars plus peer-mentored boards study, gross and histopathology practice and journal review. In years 2 to 4, trainees participate in full-time mentored basic or applied research in a discipline of their choice. Postdoctoral fellows may pursue a PhD concurrent with their research training, finishing their PhD after completing the pathology fellowship.
Our faculty includes 12 veterinarians with ACVP and/or ACLAM board certification plus additional MD and PhD faculty. Research interests include retrovirology, neuropathology, cardiovascular disease, proteomics, rodent phenotyping and laboratory animal diseases. Postdoctoral fellows also may work with faculty from more than 30 academic departments forming Johns Hopkins Medicine.
This position is targeted for a veterinarian who wishes to pursue a career as an experimental pathologist in a research setting. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree, be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States who has graduated from an AVMA-accredited institution. Candidates from non AVMA-accredited institutions must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States and must have the ECFVG or a license to practice veterinary medicine in at least one state of the United States.
Submit your curriculum vitae, transcripts, three letters of recommendation, class rank, GRE scores, and a letter of application, describing your (i) professional background, interests and goals, (ii) pathology experience and preparation, and (iii) plan for professional development to Emma Ey, Academic Program Coordinator, Johns Hopkins University, 733 N. Broadway, Suite 811, Baltimore, Maryland 21205, phone 443-287-2953 or email her at email@example.com. Visit our website at www.hopkinsmedicine.org/mcp. Application deadline is October 9, 2015.

Keep talking. Make your voices heard. That was the message received by the more than 125 people who attended the screening of the Maziar Bahari film, To Light A Candle, at the UO's Lillis Business Center on February 26.

But it was also a powerful reminder of the resilience of that persecuted minority, and its determination to progress and even thrive, particularly by providing the best education possible to its young people.
Around the world, local communities are coming together to host screenings of the documentary To Light a Candle, which highlights the Iranian government's systematic efforts to eliminate the Baha'i faith in that nation.

The Tongue of My power hath, from the heaven of My omnipotent glory, addressed to My creation these words: "Observe My commandments, for the love of My beauty." Happy is the lover that hath inhaled the divine fragrance of his Best-Beloved from these words, laden with the perfume of a grace which no tongue can describe. Think not that We have revealed unto you a mere code of laws. Nay, rather, We have unsealed the choice Wine with the fingers of might and power. To this beareth witness that which the Pen of Revelation hath revealed. Meditate upon this, O men of insight!

Online Practice Tests for Bachelors, Masters and Clinical exams
The Association of Social Work Boards offers full-scale online practice tests for candidates registered to take the Bachelors, Masters, or Clinical ASWB licensure examinations. There is no online practice test for the Advanced Generalist examination.
There is only one version of the online practice test for each category. If you have purchased the online practice test since April 1, you will be purchasing the same exam if you purchase it again.
The items on the practice test have been updated to reflect DSM-5 content; however, because no other content changed in the ASWB examination blueprints, these were the only changes made to the practice test. With the exception of language adjusted to comply with DSM-5, customers who purchased a practice test before the change to DSM-5 compatible content are likely to receive the same items purchased previously.
After candidates register and pay the examination fee for the licensing examination, they may choose to purchase access to an online practice test.
The practice tests are delivered via the Internet only—no CD-ROMs, books, or other delivery methods are available. You may purchase access to a practice test at the time you register for the exam or after you have registered at 888.579.3926, or by clicking the button to order products on our home page.
Technical limitations:
For best results accessing the online practice test use the following:
- Windows XP or higher
- Mac OS x 10.4 or higher
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher(Scroll bar does not work with zoom feature with IE7)
- Apple Safari 2.0 or higher
- Firefox 2.0 or higher (Zoom feature does not function with Firefox)

Trade Bait: Steve Sullivan
Mar 28, 2013, 4:29 PM EDT
The NHL's trade deadline is Wednesday, April 3. Following is a player that may be moved. For more "Trade Bait," click here.
Thursday in Nashville, Steve Sullivan will play his 1,000th regular-season game in the NHL.
It's been quite the career for the diminutive center, now 38 years old, who was a long shot to make it in the world's best league.
In 1994, Sullivan was drafted 233rd overall by the Devils. Around two decades later — and throw in some serious back issues along the way — he's still at it.
Sullivan's production has fallen to just 12 points in 30 games this season, his first with the Coyotes. But with a number of teams in the market for a center, it's possibly he could be on the move prior to next week's deadline.
Sullivan is a pending unrestricted free agent on a one-year, $2.6 million contract.
Will Phoenix be a seller at the deadline?
Well, the Coyotes lost again last night, blowing a late lead to the Wild and falling 4-3 in overtime. Phoenix now sits 13th in the Western Conference, five points back of a playoff spot, with only 15 games remaining.
According to Sports Club Stats, the Coyotes have a 5.5% chance of making the playoffs.
So to answer the question: yes, they'll probably be sellers.

Fine Arts - Mr. Turner, liberated by art
by Sura Wood
A maestro of atmospheric climatic effects, the British romanticist landscape painter J.M.W. Turner was a lover, observer and depicter of wild unbridled nature and its destructive powers, with seafaring ships in peril a particular specialty. Turner's strikingly original oil paintings, which set mid-19th century wags aflutter, were analogous to epic poems, with the implicit drama that comparison suggests. Liberated either by the confidence that accompanies maturity and experience, or by the urgency of time running out, it was in the last 15 years of his life... (read more)

Asset returns in 2012 will be positive but most likely modest. The first half of the year will remain tricky and will be similar to H2 2011, as equity markets are set to remain range bound and volatile. The two major debates surrounding the state of the global economy and the fate of the eurozone will continue to dominate. For the second half of the year, there are reasons for optimism and I expect a more positive environment.
While not a vintage year in return terms, 2011 certainly will be remembered for its various geopolitical shocks and macroeconomic events. The first half was noteworthy for the Japanese earthquake and the Arab Spring uprisings, and the second half was dominated by the eurozone debt crisis and by fears of an economic double dip in the global economy.
For 2012 my expectation is that asset returns will be positive but most likely modest. The first half of the year will remain tricky and will be similar to H2 2011, as equity markets are set to remain range bound and volatile. The two major debates surrounding the state of the global economy and the fate of the eurozone will continue to dominate. For the second half of the year, there are reasons for optimism and I expect a more positive environment where equity markets rise to higher levels, supported by positive fundamentals from valuation and earnings. Fixed income markets should experience a trickier year and core sovereign bond markets are set to produce negative returns.
In making these forecasts, my three core assumptions remain:
The early months of this year will be difficult for equities.
The eurozone crisis is far from over and we are very likely to see a further bout of turbulence as a result, with Spain and Italy's very heavy financing schedules in the first quarter being a possible catalyst. Eurozone economic data should weaken as a result.
But there are potential problems elsewhere as well. The markets will remain anxious about a "hard landing" for the Chinese economy, while banks globally will continue to de-leverage hence dampening activity, and earnings expectations will need to be revised downwards in line with slower growth figures.
As we proceed through the year a number of the risks events mentioned above will diminish. Neither economic nor earnings growth will suddenly "stop", and the economic cycle will continue. The key support of markets remains in place, i.e. the strength of company balance sheets. Companies remain healthy and generally have very strong cash balances to deploy into merger and acquisition activity, dividend increases, or share buybacks.
Central banks will remain market friendly and I expect that emerging market central banks will loosen monetary policy, as inflation 'rolls over', giving central banks much more scope to ease. And in the eurozone, the recent funding facility for banks announced by the ECB is a very positive development.
Importantly, as we enter 2012, commentators are predominantly cautious and investor positioning globally appears to be neutral at best. This is actually a positive indicator for investors, indicating that many investors are already underweight their neutral benchmarks and therefore have limited scope for further selling, so there is plenty of scope for contrarian investors to be quite optimistic on this basis.
At Kleinwort Benson Investors, we continue to analyse all these fundamentals and to manage your portfolios accordingly. The market environment we envisage will require continued active portfolio management taking into account reward and associated risk.
At regional level, after a challenging 2011, emerging market equities provide a very attractive opportunity. At stock selection level, we will continue to emphasise companies with strong fundamentals, i.e. balance sheet, cash flow and management. Investing in companies with higher than average and growing dividends was a winning strategy in 2011 and I expect this to continue. Company management will continue to provide strong leadership through their actions - leadership that seems to be lacking in the political arena.

Where to from here...can equity markets keep going?
Despite the strong returns achieved last quarter, for euro investors in particular, I continue to take the 'glass half full' view and believe that equities can make further progress over the next 12 -18 months. It's worth highlighting that in absolute valuation terms, equities are no longer cheap, as the MSCI World equity index is now on a P/E ratio (using 12 month trailing earnings) of 18 versus the 16.9 times historic average, and so equities are now above fair value relative to history. My core expectation from here is that further upward progress will be in line with earnings and dividend growth rather than by further P/E expansion. The slow-but-sure economic recovery we forecast will support this.
I could go further and highlight that there is perhaps a 20% chance that equities continue to perform strongly and continue to rerate even further upwards to a P/E of say 20. In a world where many major central banks continue to make strong efforts to boost growth (and inflation) through Quantitative Easing (QE) and other means, bountiful liquidity continues to flow into the financial system which can first drive asset prices strongly upwards, with the real economy responding with a lag. That abundant liquidity has already had a strong impact on government bond markets – with many eurozone government bonds yields being below zero for periods out to 5-7 years, or longer in some cases.
Those low bond yields, and very low deposit rates (negative in many cases) also support equities as they make bonds and deposits, the traditional alternatives to equities, extremely unattractive relative to equities, particularly equity strategies with appealing dividend yields of say 4%.
Where can it go wrong.....the key remains growth?
This equity bull market is now six years old and probably one of the few in history where investors have worried the whole way up. For me there are no signs of exuberance, such as we saw for example during the 'TMT' bubble of the early 2000s, as for every positive I can highlight, there can be a corresponding concern or worry.
For me THE key issues to watch will be:
1) The US economy. Growth in the US has been quite weak during the first months of 2015 with events such as severe weather being blamed. A rebound is expected by the markets and by most economists over coming quarters. If this does not happen, it would be a material unexpected negative as the US remains THE engine of the global recovery. This would have negative implications for the earnings and dividend growth I highlight above.
2) Chinese growth. The Chinese government has been directing and managing a slowdown in their economy, towards or slightly below the 7% growth level. This has been achieved without any significant dislocations to markets or society. Any further significant slowdown from here to say 3 or 4% growth would be a significant negative for global equities
3) The impact of 'QE' in Europe. An obvious issue to watch is whether the ECB's QE programme will bear fruit. It's early days but there has been a more positive tone and indeed an economic pickup in Europe over recent months. A relapse would be provide a meaningful challenge and, at the least, a meaningful setback to equity markets. Greece will also remain in the European headlines
4) Market breadth in the US. While I remain generally relaxed, I am not relaxed with what I perceive to be quite a narrow and unhealthy US stock market. Over recent months in particular the market has been hitting new highs but led by a very narrow list of stocks in high-momentum, high-valuation sectors such as biotechnology and new-economy technology stocks. Large parts of the market aren't participating in these new highs. I would look to see the leadership in the market rotate and broaden out over coming quarters as if it doesn't, for me it would begin to echo the early 2000s market which would not be positive.
5) Strange bond markets! To fundamentally rationalise bond yields at current yield levels is pretty impossible. The distortion created by central banks buying is seemingly very apparent. When I see for example that Danish home buyers now get paid by their bank to take out a mortgage or the Mexican government launches a 100 year bond denominated in Euros at a yield of just 4%, it's not normal. Similarly when I was told that wealthy Swiss savers are now taking the money from their local Swiss bank account and lodging it in security company vaults and paying them 15 basis points per annum for the privilege because it's cheaper than the negative rates the banks are paying, it's certainly not normal! At some point just as with the TMT bubble, this bond bubble will burst. To pinpoint when or how is the difficult bit.
To conclude, despite strong returns to date, equities remain the asset class of choice against pretty much zero returns on cash and bond markets which are fundamentally unattractive in our scenario. From a macro perspective, the main change we expect to see over the next couple of months is confirmation of improved growth and activity in Europe, where a combination of the lower euro, much lower energy prices, and QE by the European Central Bank is expected to boost consumer and business spending, as well as exports. Other economies are also expected to grow at a reasonable rate. Globally, we expect to see further cuts in interest rates, particularly in Emerging Markets, but in contrast US interest rates are likely to rise (for the first time in many years) in the autumn.
Meanwhile the corporate sector is in good health, with plenty of cash on its balance sheet and relatively little debt. We expect an increase in Merger and Acquisition activity, but also a focus on dividend growth and other ways of returning cash to shareholders. Against this background in our portfolio construction we continue to emphasise stocks with strong cash flows, attractive balance sheets and strong and attractively positioned businesses. In a world of zero or negative cash rates, I expect equities with attractive and growing dividends to remain winners.
Noel O'Halloran, Chief Investment Officer
During 2014 we recorded new highs for global equity indices as well as recording the sixth year in a row of positive returns from global equities. This was achieved despite many headline challenges be they geo-political or simply the ongoing challenges of the muddle through growth struggle for many of the world's economies. From my general perspective, this constant 'barrage of challenges' to the recovery scenario was to be expected and has been a feature of the global equity recovery since March 2009. Global bond markets have also continued to hit new highs confounding all negative predictions (including yours truly) once again.
For 2015, I believe we can expect more of the same, albeit with more volatility than recent years. While the global equities have been in a bull market now for six years and is therefore quite mature, I don't believe the bull market is over but do believe investors should expect more modest single digit returns for 2015. The lesson from recent years have been that while 'hits' have been many and frequent they are transient and eventually overcome by improving fundamentals and central banks that keep the recovery underpinned....so buy the equity dips!
Why more modest returns?
What will we be watching?
What could surprise?
To conclude, I believe that 2015 will be a positive year but one with more modest returns and with more volatility to be expected. Equities remain the asset class of choice against pretty much zero returns on cash and bond markets fundamentally unattractive in our scenario. Central banks will remain central actors on the stage, although their roles will change with the Fed likely to become more the 'bad' guy and the ECB and others to become increasingly centre stage.
Noel O' Halloran, Chief Investment Officer
There is more than a touch of "déjà vu" in the financial markets at the moment. Yet again we are faced with speculation about a country (Greece) leaving the eurozone. Once more we are looking ahead to what seems likely to be a year of very weak growth and inflation in the eurozone. And of course we are again waiting to see what the ECB will do when it finally makes its mind up about how to react to these various issues. In our view the markets are correct to be worried about these problems – they are very real – but it remains more likely than not that the outcome will also be the same as in previous years – a "muddle through" with no dramatic progress towards better growth and inflation, but no collapse of the eurozone, no country leaving it, and no severe recession either.
Before explaining why we think the 'muddle through' scenario is the most likely, it is useful to take a look at recent developments as in some ways the situation that European authorities face now is as serious as anything seen at the height of the eurozone fiscal crisis in 2011/2012 – with the major difference being that financial market sentiment, so far, is dramatically more positive now than it was then.
Firstly, we focus on Greece. As readers will be aware, the failure of the Greek parliament to elect a new President in three attempts last month forced the government to call early elections, in what was in effect a major victory for the opposition. The leading party in all opinion polls is "Syriza", a left-wing and relatively new party. Until very recently it would also have been described as an 'anti-European' or 'anti-euro' party, and it can certainly still be called an anti-austerity party. Syriza's gains in popularity have been driven by the austerity policies implemented by the governing political parties, which policies in turn were largely forced on the government by the troika after Greece was the recipient of a large bail-out from the IMF, European Central Bank and other European governments. In practice those policies would have had to be implemented in any case but the troika has been blamed for the very severe cuts in spending that have been implemented during the crisis period.
Although Syriza is expected to win only about one-third of the votes, that share is expected to be significantly larger than any other party. And, crucially, Greek electoral law gives a large 'bonus' allocation of seats to the largest party in the election, which means that Syriza is likely to have almost enough seats to form a government by itself.
What makes all this so important is that Syriza has had policies that are very anti-establishment (for want of a better phrase). It believes that the solution to Greece's fiscal problems is for lenders to Greece to write off large amounts of the debt, and until recently at any rate Syriza has seemed to want Greece to leave the eurozone entirely. It is adamantly opposed to the various austerity policies being implemented by the current government. On the face of it, this is quite dramatic, particularly the desire to leave the eurozone. If that still is the Syriza policy (more on this later), and if Syriza does win the election as expected, it would mark the first time that any eurozone country has been led by a party that supports exit from the eurozone. Even at the height of the eurozone fiscal crisis in 2011/2012, every eurozone government was adamantly and absolutely opposed to their country leaving the eurozone.
An exit from the eurozone would certainly be extremely messy – there are no provisions in European law to allow it, and it would involve the creation of an entirely new currency, as quickly as possible. In all likelihood, the banking system or large parts of it would collapse and/or need huge taxpayer bailouts due to the mismatch between euro denominated liabilities and drachma (if that was the new currency's name) denominated assets, and there would be a degree of chaos for some weeks in the interim period with a massive hit to economic activity in Greece. Internationally, a Greek exit from the eurozone would surely bring more pressure on other peripheral countries in the zone, such as Portugal, Cyprus, Ireland, maybe even Italy and Spain, as if one country left the euro, others might be thought to be at risk of doing the same. We would expect an extremely negative market reaction to such a development, one which might make the previous eurozone fiscal crisis look quite mild!
Meanwhile, "back at the ranch", the European Central Bank continues to struggle with dangerously low inflation and economic growth across the eurozone as a whole. It seems reasonably clear that if inflation, in particular, falls further from here, the ECB will take more drastic actions to boost growth, inflation, and confidence. The most likely option is that it will inject cash into the economy by buying government bonds, in the first half of the year, in effect printing the money with which to buy them.
However, the Greece situation is an unwanted complication for the ECB. If Syriza wins power in Greece, it will put huge pressure on Greece's creditors to write off all or part of its debts. And the ECB happens to be a large creditor of Greece as it owns, directly or indirectly, a large quantity of Greek government bonds (Greek government bonds are no longer investment grade, so many private sector investors no longer buy them). Thus the ECB is currently trying to reach a decision on whether to buy large quantities of government bonds, at exactly the same time as it is being asked (by Syriza) to accept large losses on the Greek government bonds that it already owns. That is a complication that the ECB – and all of us in the eurozone, perhaps – could really do without, and that might well prevent or substantially delay the introduction of further ECB measures to help the eurozone economy.
However, we should not get too carried away by all the seemingly bad news. As we stated at the outset, we do NOT expect the situation to deteriorate very rapidly in the months or weeks ahead, notwithstanding the sometimes grim-looking outlook. There are a number of factors which will combine to make another year of "muddle through" more likely than a year of crisis:
Our conclusion, therefore, is that 2015 will be a year of (even) greater volatility – and action - in the eurozone than was 2014, in terms of politics and policy. But as has been the case for several years now, the authorities will do enough to prevent that volatility and uncertainty translating into a full-blown crisis. In the next couple of days, Noel O'Halloran, our Chief Investment Officer, will publish a separate blog outlining what this scenario means for asset allocation in 2015.
Eoin Fahy, Chief Economist, Investment Strategist
Since the current global bull market began during the first quarter of 2009 there has been a constant debate between bulls and bears about whether the markets are being driven by strengthening fundamentals or driven by free and abundant liquidity provided by central banks led by the US Federal Reserve. We have maintained a consistent view that the bull market has been driven by a combination of both liquidity and improving fundamentals. Markets themselves can be swayed by the additional ingredient of investor sentiment and as we know in relatively short time periods, investors can move from unbridled optimism to wholesale pessimism in a herd like manner. At present they appear to be veering towards the pessimistic side.
From our perspective while headwinds and challenges remain, the key factor we focus on is the economic outlook. We do not see a material change to the fundamental economic and market outlook we have been writing about now for the past number of quarters. A fundamental part of our thesis remains as written last quarter where we highlighted the slow return to "normalisation", with the nature of this economic recovery remaining similar to none other i.e. being particularly 'sub-par' as we work through the excesses that caused the last downturn.
Central bank actions will be consistent with how they see their own specific economic area, but in a global interconnected world economy their impact is not isolated to their region. Indeed the more positive outlook for the US economy versus Eurozone has already been reflected in the rapid weakening of the euro so the markets are already doing some of the central bank's work for them. Concerns about the Federal Reserve tightening are overdone and in particular by those with inflationary worries in mind. While there are reasons to worry about potential deflation in Europe there is not a corresponding argument to be over concerned about inflation in the US economy. In fact far from worrying about the removal of liquidity support from global markets, we believe that central banks need to keep interest rates at what will be viewed in history as emergency levels as this is what the 'sub-par' recovery necessitates.
Geopolitical events remain constants in the world of investing with the frequency and scale of events oscillating quarter to quarter. As an investor it is best analysed in terms of whether any economic impact is adequately modelled in economists' forecasts and whether the risk is appropriately embedded in asset class valuations. At current levels, we believe equity markets to be again fairly valued and in line with historic averages with subsequent returns from here going to be strongly influenced by earnings and dividend growth rather than banking on higher valuations. The greater volatility and polarisation within market performance over recent months provides some very attractive investment opportunities for stocks or sectors that look to be overly punished by investors.

In my beginning of the year piece, I expected 2014 to be another positive year for markets. As the first half draws to a close it has indeed turned out to be a positive period, with equities up 5.6%, bonds up 4.5% and commodities up 0.8% during Q2, which took the returns for the first half of the year to 6.9%, 10.5% and 7.8% for equities bonds and commodities respectively.[i] Many of the positive tailwinds that helped markets during 2013 prevailed in the first half of this year as well, with 2013 laggard assets such as Emerging Markets, commodities and Agribusiness related equities performing admirably.
As I ponder the outlook for the second half of the year, my fundamental position has not changed and I do expect further market gains, notwithstanding an acknowledgement that with equity markets at new highs and bond yields remaining at record lows, some form of tactical setback in markets does feel overdue. The constructive outlook remains supported by some strong underlying themes:
What will drive markets from here?
What could derail markets from here?
The list is relatively short but global geopolitics is clearly a concern and something we are actively monitoring. In terms of valuations, I note that equities are no longer cheap on a standalone basis and are now at a small premium to their historic average. This is new but equally I am not concerned at this point as they remain well within historic ranges and when compared to asset classes such as bonds or cash, they still look particularly attractive.
Finally, a turn in the interest rate cycle is a potential problem. We have already seen heavy hints from the Bank of England that rate increases might come earlier than the markets expect. As the months go by, I do expect similar comments from the more important US Federal Reserve. Rising rate worries could derail markets at some point, but I would however still believe that it will be a couple of years before we will see aggressive rate rises.
To conclude, the first half of the year has been positive and despite new highs on markets, I believe the outlook remains bright. As always there are headwinds and surprises that lie around the corner. As active managers our portfolio managers here at Kleinwort Benson Investors remain alert to opportunities as well as to threats. The environment for active stock picking remains fertile and we continue to focus on companies with strong fundamentals, attractive cash flows and a strong mindset towards shareholder return.

[i] Equity return quoted is the MSCI equity world index return, the bond return is the return on the ML over 5 year eurozone government bond index, and the commodity return is based on the DJUBS Commodity index, all in euro terms.
The results of the European Parliament elections have received a great deal of media – and financial market – attention. Far-left and far-right political parties made strong gains in several countries, and those parties were in many cases in favour of their country withdrawing from the European Union and/or leaving the eurozone. However, in other countries the results were very different, and we conclude that in reality little has changed and there is little chance of significant changes to key economic policies, or of "political gridlock" at European level.
The headlines this week have been fairly stark. Anti-European or 'extremist' political parties performed exceptionally well in the European elections across the continent. The National Front, the UK Independence Party and Syriza topped the polls in France, the UK and Greece respectively. Voters have shown their disillusionment with Europe and their resistance to "austerity" policies. Europe is in near-crisis with eurosceptics forming a powerful bloc in the European Parliament. And so on.
But here are some alternative headlines that you probably did NOT read this week, but which are also true:
So it's best, of course, to look at the whole story. Yes the euroseceptic/anti-austerity/protest parties did well in some countries. But they did quite poorly in others. In no country were the results so dramatic that the government is at risk (with the possible exception of Ireland if the Labour Party were to withdraw from government after it elects a new leader). And the centrist, moderate bloc of parties still has a very comfortable majority in the European Parliament (which anyway has quite limited powers as most key decisions in Europe are still made by European governments, often by consensus).
In assessing the outlook for European equities and government bonds, therefore, we will continue to focus on the prospects for economic growth, for monetary policy and for corporate earnings growth, all of which are more significant in our view than the 'noise' from the European elections.Indeed it was interesting to note that despite the blizzard of news, much of it seemingly negative, the financial markets largely ignored the elections. The European stock market rose by more than 1% on Monday, and the euro strengthened marginally.
Valuations remain reasonable for equities (though bonds are expensive, as are most developed market government bonds), there is unlikely to be a significant change for the worse in economic policies, and there is no sign of a return to the crisis days of a couple of years when some commentators expected the eurozone to fall apart. Gridlock in the European Parliament is very unlikely, and even if it happens, the US has managed quite well for the last couple of years despite complete gridlock in Congress!
In the first quarter of 2014, investors were 'hit' by a barrage of macro challenges in the US, China and Eastern Europe, and investors also fretted about whether Japan and Europe were gaining the upper hand in the battle against deflationary challenges. In the US, very severe winter weather was the presumed cause of a significant decline in economic activity. In China, the economy slowed sharply- leading to expectations of a government stimulus package – and to cap it all the crisis in Ukraine raised geopolitical tensions across Eastern Europe and beyond.
Despite these 'hits', global equity market performance proved to be very resilient with the world equity index rising by 1% in local currency. Europe led the way, with the eurozone index rising 2.8%, slightly ahead of North America, which rose 2%. Japan was the laggard, showing a decline of 7.5%, while Emerging Markets were down very slightly (all returns in local currency). In contrast, bond markets (in Europe in particular) appeared to benefit from falling inflation and improved sentiment towards peripheral countries, and delivered strong gains as the European over 5-year bond index rose by almost 6%. Commodities were very strong, rising by about 7%, regaining some of their losses in previous quarters.
It's very clear, therefore, that markets regarded these 'hits' as transient and focussed instead on improved long-term fundamentals. That is not particularly surprising given that I believe that the current global economic recovery has at least another three years of growth before we concern ourselves about the next economic downturn. The continued slow but steady global economic recovery will prove resilient and continue to demonstrate recovery. I reiterate my strongly held conviction that real assets such as equities and other alternative asset classes are attractive for as long as global central banks are fighting deflation and downside risks to economic growth. While in the short term such actions also help bond yields, in time recovery will prove a big negative for bonds.
In January, I expected 2014 to be another positive year, with a likely outcome of high single/low double digit returns from global equity markets. This would be consistent with expected global earnings growth for 2014. Equity markets are no longer cheap and are generally now trading at long term average valuations. Therefore, my central expectation was and remains that returns will be consistent with earnings growth from here out rather than further expanding valuation multiples – though there remains some possibility that abundant liquidity could push valuations up still further.
As we enter the second quarter there are a number of key fundamentals that we are watching:
It is worth expanding further on my views on Emerging Markets, as markets are very focussed on that topic. As I stated above, I believe they will begin to converge again with Developed markets, and for those looking for a ray of hope, Emerging Markets had a significant outperformance over recent weeks. At a fundamental level while challenges remain (growth and politics) across various emerging markets, I believe we are well past the worst and that the key catalysts of economic growth and earnings growth will help over coming quarters.
It's important to note that investor sentiment and positioning is very poor towards EM. This is not at all unusual as historically investors either hate or love emerging markets with seemingly no in-between state! Any investor with a grain of contrarian instinct would be looking to buy EM and particularly as valuations are well below historic averages. This is also against a background where some argue that many investors are increasingly 'in love' with developed markets such as the US. At a fundamental level, although challenges remain, EM economies are in a much healthier state than they were ahead of the 1997 Asian crisis and I do have confidence that the Chinese will manage the rebalancing of their economy without a hard landing.
Investment markets remain as dynamic and challenging as ever. In this quick blog I have summarised some of the major drivers we will continue to focus on during the second quarter. Within markets and for your portfolios we are also managing both sector and style volatility. By style I mean whether for example value, growth, momentum or yield are performing best and we have noted more volatility in styles over recent months. Consistent with a slow but steady recovery in global economic growth we continue to believe that stock picking should remain concentrated on companies with strong balance sheets, positive earnings guidance and a strong attention to cash flow and dividend payments. The bottom line remains that I expect 2014 to be a solid if not unspectacular year of returns for investors despite the headline challenges.
Donore Harriers athlete John Travers has won the 2014 St. Patrick's 5K Festival Road Race, which took place in Dublin on Sunday 16th March. He completed the course in a time of 00:14:07.
