The tight-fisted Mr. Buffett flies around in a private jet he once named “The Indefensible.” And how would an analyst sitting in Wall Street’s glass buildings (as I once did) know the price of a gallon of milk? Even I almost missed the rise of airline fares.Yet, these Wall Street blind spots create enormous buying opportunities.<ul><li>Railways.

Delta (NYSE:DAL) would make up 80% of all flights from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport that year.In rail, these same forces would turn a struggling industry into one of America’s most profitable sectors. Only seven Class I freight railroads exist today, down from 33 in 1980. And concentration in specific sectors is higher; two railroads now originate 65% of all U.S. grain.These changes are apparent to anyone who works in the business. Try to buy ammunition at your local gun store, and you’ll have a choice between two manufacturers. Shells now easily cost over a dollar per round. And at the grocery store, our choice of meat and prepackaged bread is an illusion. 2-3 companies now own dozens of brands on store shelves.Observant investors will notice these things in everyday life.Meanwhile, outsiders on Wall Street are often slow in responding to these tectonic shifts, especially when they’re happening far away from the glass high-rise offices of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MHC.AU\">Manhattan</a> or Omaha.<h2>Beating the Street at Its Own Game</h2>There are three ingredients to these hidden gems:<ul><li>A “Hated” Industry. A history of low returns, poor growth and high capital requirements will set the stage for cheap stock prices.</li><li>Consolidation. Mergers, acquisitions and bankruptcies that give the remaining players pricing power.</li><li>Essential Goods. Sectors that produce goods that are difficult or impossible to substitute.</li></ul>And today, one sector stands out as the next big winner:Telecom.<h2>From Four to Three</h2>Ask any Wall Street investor about telecom, and watch them respond with a mix of apathy and disgust. The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EMDI\">iShares</a> Global Communication Services ETF (NYSEARCA:IXP) has risen just 7% since 2005, underperforming every other sector of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d89746888da2d9510b64a9f031eaecd5\" tg-width=\"1\" tg-height=\"1\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/683bb6c2aa728f75d0baebfe009399e0\" tg-width=\"580\" tg-height=\"372\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>There’s a good reason for the dismal performance. For years, America’s telecom firms have fought in a seven-way battle. The two top players AT&amp;T (NYSE:T) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) competed against upstarts Sprint and T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS), along with smaller players Leap, MetroPCS and U.S. Cellular (NYSE:USM).It was a recipe for disaster. High capital expenditure, changing technologies and a massive country to cover meant that firms like Verizon could sink $20 billion per year since 2000 into capital investment and still see end-user prices stagnate.Put another way, my $40-per-month cell phone bill had barely budged in the 20 years leading up to 2020But that also gives telecom the perfect setup for 300% gains.Since 2011, the number of wireless providers has shrunk from seven to four. And with U.S. Cellular’s market share dropping to 1%, the wireless industry has become a three-way race.Prices have already started creeping up. The cheapest plan from T-Mobile for a single line now costs $70 after taxes and fees, reversing years of price declines. According to the BLS, spending on cell phone services finally stopped falling in 2020.“A stable competitive market never has more than three significant competitors,” BCG founder Bruce Henderson noted in 1976. The “rule of three” eventually makes it “neither practical nor advantageous for either competitor to increase or decrease share.”In other words, telecom is no longer a race to the bottom.<h2>Which Telecom Stock Should You Buy?</h2>So, why do I say investors can make 300% with virtually no effort?That’s because there’s no need for fancy 3-stage DCF models……Complicated intrinsic value calculations……Or reading the tea leaves of management guidance.That’s because when industries consolidate, all companies gain.For airlines in 2013, investors could have easily made the same high returns on Southwest (NYSE:LUV), United (NASDAQ:UAL) or Hawaiian (NASDAQ:HA).Similarly, telecom’s three remaining players – AT&amp;T, Verizon and T-Mobile – all stand to profit. Even though Profit &amp; Protection has highlighted AT&amp;T for its cheapest starting price, the trio all provide the same essential wireless services, and all have begun flexing their oligopolistic pricing power.Bottom line: buy AT&amp;T if you only pick one telecom, but all three should outperform over the next decade.<h2>Some Patience Required… </h2>Consolidation plays are phenomenal for their high batting average and relative safety. AT&amp;T has a 6% dividend yield, one of the highest rates for a blue-chip stock.The strategy, however, can take years to play out. Freight railroad CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) took over a decade to rise 10x.That means high-frequency traders are better off buying high-beta momentum stocks listed in Tuesday’s newsletter. But if you are willing to wait for returns without really trying, then AT&amp;T and the telecom industry provides a stunningly attractive play.</body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>How to Make 300% in the Stock Market Without Really Trying</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nHow to Make 300% in the Stock Market Without Really Trying\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-14 10:15 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/08/how-to-make-300-in-the-stock-market-without-really-trying/>InvestorPlace</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nIn 2012, I made 300% returns in the stock market without really trying.It happened again in 2020…And then again in 2021…My secret?I bought companies in consolidating industries.For 2012, it was the ...\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/08/how-to-make-300-in-the-stock-market-without-really-trying/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4559":"巴菲特持仓","BK4132":"无线电信业务","TQQQ":"纳指三倍做多ETF","BK4156":"煤与消费用燃料","BK4550":"红杉资本持仓","QQQ":"纳指100ETF","BK4500":"航空公司","BK4115":"综合电信业务","BTU":"Peabody","CSX":"CSX运输",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite","BK4561":"索罗斯持仓","BK4581":"高盛持仓","QID":"纳指两倍做空ETF","T":"美国电话电报","LUV":"西南航空","BK4549":"软银资本持仓","UAL":"联合大陆航空","BK4016":"铁路","VZ":"威瑞森","CP":"加拿大太平洋铁路","BK4515":"5G概念","BK4190":"消闲用品","BK4008":"航空公司","VSTO":"Vista Outdoor Inc","BK4532":"文艺复兴科技持仓","SQQQ":"纳指三倍做空ETF","BK4520":"美国基建股","QLD":"纳指两倍做多ETF","DAL":"达美航空","BK4534":"瑞士信贷持仓","PSQ":"纳指反向ETF","BK4507":"流媒体概念","TMUS":"T-Mobile US Inc","BK4533":"AQR资本管理(全球第二大对冲基金)","BK4566":"资本集团","USM":"美国无线电话","HA":"夏威夷控股"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2022/08/how-to-make-300-in-the-stock-market-without-really-trying/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2259268147","content_text":"In 2012, I made 300% returns in the stock market without really trying.It happened again in 2020…And then again in 2021…My secret?I bought companies in consolidating industries.For 2012, it was the airline industry.
