When we look for stocks to buy, we pay special attention to hidden value. If you’re a long-time reader, you know we’ve talked about hidden value many times over the years. It came up again in our analysis of Canadian Tire, which appeared on the front page of last week’s issue of The Successful Investor. Canadian Tire is one of my long-time favourites. I advised buying it in the first issue of The Successful Investor in 1995, when it was close to $10 a share. At that time, many Canadians were wary of the stock because they feared it would suffer greatly when Wal-Mart made its long-anticipated entrance into Canada. Canadian Tire seems to have survived Wal-Mart’s entrance. Of course, its stock price has gone through a couple of deep setbacks since 1995. It peaked at around $45 in the summer of 1999, then got down close to $16 in the fall of 2000. It rose to $88 at the market peak of fall, 2007, and fell to $37 by early 2009. It fell from $69 to $52 in the first nine months of 2011. Then it resumed its rise and recently hit an all-time high above $91....

Sometimes, the market’s reaction to a news item can tell you something about the importance of the news item. It may also tell you something about the market’s underlying direction. For instance, on June 6, the Dow industrials moved up by 125 points after a two-month decline. Many investors assumed the gain was due to some European crisis development they missed that day. I assumed the rise came about because of political news from Wisconsin, and from the second- and third-largest California cities, San Jose and San Diego. I saw it that way because of today’s key investor concern: can governments around the world manage to tame their debts and their budget deficits without raising taxes to economically crippling levels? To do this, governments will have to break out of the stranglehold that pressure groups and entrenched special interests seem to have on them....
