Portfolio
The latest spike in oil prices could hardly have come at a worse time for our economy given the ongoing slide in house prices, a weakening labor market and fragile credit environment. Consumers were already under enormous pressure to retrench, and many industries, especially the auto industry, are facing a growing squeeze on profit margins. To all intents and purposes, the economy is in recession, and the longer that oil prices stay high, the deeper the downturn will be.
There is a major concern that headline inflation will result in the Fed increasing interest rates at the end of the year. The concern is that we will have raging inflation similar to the 1970s precipitated by the wage/price spiral. There are many important differences between now and the 1970s. The labor force is much less unionized, globalization restricts companies’ pricing power (and thus ability to raise wages), and central banks have a better understanding of the inflation process. Also, according to the World Bank, 75% of food inflation, the major driver to our current inflation rate, can be attributed to ethanol production.
The global picture is not much better. Higher oil prices are a global problem and few countries are immune to the effects. Leading economic indicators have weakened in most regions, including the emerging world, suggesting that global activity is facing a period of slower growth.
In the first half of the year the equity market had a $2.3 trillion loss. Lowry’s analysis of Buying Power and Selling Pressure, our primary equity research service, has the widest spread in their 75-year history. Demand is weak or selective which does not indicate a market bottom. Not only is Lowry’s market analysis of the New York Stock Exchange flashing a bear market, but the world equity indices are suffering major losses. With the economic growth mediocre at best, the risks associated with the equity market are tilted decisively to the downside.
The bear market may afford us some investment opportunities. We are looking at Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) with a dedicated short bias. ETFs are designed to move in the opposite direction of the markets. There are 40 funds under review that are dedicated to short selling stock indices and various market segments.
Our money market yield is hovering around 2.55%. Until the Fed takes further action, which is not anticipated in the near future, we can anticipate our cash yield to remain at this level. Accordingly, the corporate bond strategy is our only recourse to offset the low money market rates.
A Bloomberg article points out that investors are demanding the highest yield in almost six years to own investment-grade corporate bonds. So far this year, we have taken advantage of these yields with $17.4 million in purchases and an average yield of 5.84%. All purchases are in the BBB range which affords higher yields than top rated bonds. Of course, there are more financial risks within the BBB ratings. Investments in corporate bonds are a long process because we are dependent on brokers’ inventory, lengthy research, and favorable fixed income markets. Also, if the 30-year Treasury bond flashes a strong buy based on technical indicators or adverse market conditions we will employ our capital gains strategy.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 (unaudited)
Note 1. SEC Compliance
The following information discussed in Notes 1 and 2 are required to be conveyed to shareholders pursuant to Section 30 of the Investment Act of 1940.
Board fees: $29,700
Officers' compensation: $110,484
Note 2. Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and sales of securities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $16,386,189 and $7,150,413 respectively.
Note 3. Unrealized Loss on Investments
Unrealized gain/loss is an accounting adjustment and does not enter into the calculation of dividend payments. The $363,037 unrealized loss is directly related to inflationary pressures and bond investors perception that the Federal Reserve Board will increase short-term interest rates. Increase in interest rates will adversely affect the value of our bond portfolio, but will afford Kavilco an opportunity to invest at higher interest rates.
