This Week's Activity – June 28, 2013:
This week, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index continued
its recovery, ending on June 28 at 13,677 up from 13,230 last week, but still
down from being at 15,381 on Monday May 20.
This is now only a 12% drop in 6 weeks.
This week, the Dow ended at 14,909, up from 14,799 last week, still down
from 15,391 on May 20, but now only a 3% drop.
So, there is no obvious drop or correction of any magnitude going on
here. I am continuing to look for
companies with good fundamental financial values that are near their 52 week
lows.
At the “Links” page on UltimateStockfinder.com
you can view Commodity Prices from an excellent CNN webpage http://money.cnn.com/data/commodities/ This page has today’s prices for oil, metals, grains, livestock and
consumer items. Notice
that corn, soybeans and wheat are all at new 52 week lows. I am not sure how this will affect company
stock prices, but low grain prices should be a good thing for various other
businesses. I welcome your comments
about what companies could go up due to low grain prices.
StockEvaluator “Short List” shows only
companies that are within 5% of their 52 week low AND have less than 5 Red
cells. This week 19 companies are on the
short list. The one that looks best to
me is Shell Oil (RDS-A). I have a PUT sell
order in for RDS-A at January 2014 $62.50 Strike price with an option premium of
$4.10. If it sells, I get a 6.5% return
for the next 7 months that my money is tied up even if I never have to buy the
stock. If RDS-A goes down and gets PUT
to me, my actual buy in price will be $62.50 - $4.10= $58.40. RDS-A pays a 4.7% annual dividend.
MutualFundEvaluator
“Short List” shows funds that are within 3% of their 52 week low AND have less
than 3 Red cells. This week’s list has 30
funds. They are all Bond funds, which
are continuing to go down due to the worry that Bernanke and The FED will continue
to raise interest rates, which will drive down the price of bonds even more
than they are now. I am not buying any
of these funds at this time.
