There is a real disconnect between news flow on public companies and the value of the underlying businesses. The overwhelming majority of discussion is based on what may happen over the next year or so to create volatility in earnings, despite over 90% of intrinsic value depending on what happens after that. This provides opportunities for long-term, value-minded investors like us.

At Harris Associates, we don’t have an opinion about how equities will perform this year, if a recession will start or if the political parties will produce pro-growth candidates during the next election cycle. As long-term investors, we don’t think it matters.
