This concept may be the most important in all of investing history.

Starbucks’ Investors Are Forgetting That Coffee Costs Can Go Back Up; Shares Lack Valuation Support
We loved Starbucks’ fiscal first-quarter results, but shares do not consider the risk of a spike in long-term coffee prices, nor do they consider a normalizing of traffic growth trends.

SEC Proposes Barring the Chinese Units of the Big 4 Accounting Firms for 6 Months; A Washington-Beijing Scuffle; Neither Firm-Specific, Nor Is It "New" News
Though such a topic makes for great headlines, it is neither fundamental/material to our intrinsic value estimates nor does it imply any wrongdoing by any firm. We don't view this as "new" news.

Icahn's In-depth Letter to Apple Still Does Not Remove Time Horizon
We believe Apple's shares have valuation upside, but as we have outlined before, activist investor Carl Icahn's proposal to force Apple to buy back stock over a certain time period ("during fiscal 2014") as opposed to under a certain price (our fair value estimate) is imprudent. We encourage Icahn to further revise his proposal. Additionally, we think Icahn's valuation process is too simplistic, and we encourage him to disclose a more rigorous valuation assessment of the firm.

United Technologies, Precision Castparts Confirm Aerospace Strength
We're expecting accelerated organic top-line growth at United Technologies and Precision Castparts, and a laser-focus on cost control should augment earnings expansion at both companies even further.

Investors Will Continue to Be Rewarded in eBay; If Nothing Else, Icahn’s Entrance Will Drive an Upward Re-Valuation of the Equity
We don’t think it much matters whether PayPal is spun-off or not, especially now that attention has been brought to eBay’s significant underpricing on a consolidated basis. This action alone may be enough to drive rapid price-to-fair value convergence.

Icahn’s In-depth Letter to Apple Must Remove the Time Horizon Associated with the Buyback Proposal in Order to Receive Valuentum’s Approval
We like that Carl Icahn is bringing attention to underpriced equities in today’s marketplace. However, we’d only be in favor of a buyback at Apple at the right price (not over a certain time period).

Verizon Posts Highest Adjusted EBITDA Margin in 8 years; Pro forma Debt Load Reduces Attractiveness of Idea
Verizon will need to have some of its best years going forward in order to handle its newly-acquired massive debt load. We're not sure that the global economy will cooperate.

Johnson & Johnson Registers Strong Fourth Quarter Performance; 2014 Outlook Conservative
We continue to like J&J’s fortress balance sheet and strong dividend growth potential.
