Hidden Value Gems
Good old days: during 2000-2010, Altria (with declining sales volumes) outperformed still growing Microsoft.
I wonder what stock or sector could be today’s Altria? Could this be Energy or Banks? China, dare I say?
The chart is from Andrew Hunt’s book Better Value Investing (ex Baillie Gifford PM). I read it in one evening. $MSFT $MO #investing

Apple introduced its first sports-specific app Wednesday as the tech behemoth continues expanding its fan offerings.
Apple Sports is primarily a scores app, offering quick access to the status of live events. The app also offers the ability to favorite certain sports and teams or—notably—check out live odds in partnership with DraftKings.
“You can obviously get scores in many places today, but I don’t think anybody is focused and dedicated on the concept of live and making it simple, clean, fast like we’ve done,” Apple SVP of services Eddy Cue told Sportico in a video demonstration and interview. “We’ve spent an incredible amount of engineering on this.”
He added that work on the app has spanned the last year. In particular, developers identified multiple data providers for various sports to ensure high-speed, accurate info delivery.
Any chance $GENI involved?
