Bill Miller Back on Top as `Great Rotation' Lifts Last Year's Stock Losers

By Michael Patterson

Equities that fell farthest last year are surging the most in a decade, reversing the fortunes of mutual funds and signaling developed countries, banks and Asian exporters will extend the global rally.

It has catapulted Bill Miller's $4.07 billion Legg Mason Capital Management Value Trust to the top of the mutual fund rankings after trailing 98 percent of peers in 2010, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Miller's fund gained 5.4 percent through Feb. 1 as holdings including San Jose, California-based Cisco Systems Inc. rebounded, putting the 61-year-old manager ahead of 91 percent of his rivals.

Bill characterized 2010 as a very good investment year, but not a good performance year, Mary Chris Gay, assistant portfolio manager of the Legg Mason Capital Management Value Trust, said in an interview yesterday.

We were able to make a lot of investments and increase exposure where we felt there was considerable opportunity.

Value investors need to harness time and use it tactically.

“Time arbitrage just means exploiting the fact that most investors — institutional, individual, mutual funds or hedge funds — tend to have very short-term time horizons, have rapid turnover or are trying to exploit very short-term anomalies in the market.

So the market looks extremely efficient in the short run.

In an environment with massive short-term data over- load and with people concerned about minute-to-minute performance, the inefficiencies are likely to be looking out beyond, say, 12 months.”

Your edge is not going to come from data or news, it’s going to come from something of your creativity.

“Everyone tends to see the same things, read the same newspapers and get the same data feeds.

The only way to arrive at a different answer from everybody else is to organize the data in different ways, or bring to the analytic process things that are not typically present.”

Investor Bill Miller: Good Stock Bargains Available

He cites a strong economy, low unemployment, rising wages and the beginning of Fed interest rate increases.

by DAN WEIL

It’s likely that a shift has begun in market leadership to value stocks from growth stocks, which dominated for the last 10 years.

“Energy, whose prices do not reflect oil even in the $70s, much less over $100 [U.S. oil recently traded at $113.72 a barrel];

· “Chinese stocks, whose valuations appear too low, particularly when the government is easing and says it wants to help the market;

· “Financials, which mostly benefit from rising rates;

· “Housing stocks, whose valuations in the low- to mid-single digits do not reflect even a modest continuation of the current fundamentals; as well as

· “Travel-related names, such as airlines and cruise ships, which should see years of strong demand due to robust consumer balance sheets and a solid economy.”

You can probably find some “long-term bargains” by looking at stocks that have dropped 50% or more from their 52-week highs.
