Update for April 19, 2013

This Week's Activity:
This week, AAPL dropped another $35 / Share (8%), so I sold a January 2014 PUT at Strike $370 and Option Premium of $40.  Also, bought some shares at $410.  I still believe that AAPL is being oversold by the market and will come back to at least $550.  AAPL reports quarterly earnings next Tuesday, so I am hoping for some good news.

This weeks "StockEvaluator.xls Short List" view that is available at the bottom of the UltimateStockFinder home page contains 45 companies for this week that are within 5% of their 52 Week Low and also have less than 5 Red Cells.  This is what I have been waiting for, where the market drops and provides more choices of undervalued stocks that have excellent fundamentals.  But, that is too many companies for me to easily identify the best buys for the week.  Since I prefer to buy companies with large annual revenues, I am going to add a macro that will sort on "Annual Revenue" so we can bring the largest companies to the top of this Short List.  

Next Monthly Meeting 2nd Tuesday of every Month:
Tuesday, May 14, 2013 , 7:30 PM at my house.
