This Week's Activity – June 21, 2013:
This week, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index stopped
its 4 week downhill run, ending on June 21 at 13,230 up from at 12,686 last
week, but still down from being at 15,381 on Monday May 20. This is now a 14% drop in 5 weeks. In this same time the Dow has dropped from
15,391 down to 14,799 which is a 4% drop.
Bernanke is getting the blame for this market drop because he hinted
this week about stopping the bond buying program, and raising interest
rates. The market has been pretty high,
so it probably is due for a correction regardless of what Mr. Bernanke says.
StockEvaluator “Short
List” shows only companies that are within 5% of their 52 week low AND have
less than 5 Red cells. This week’s list
has 34 companies out of the 2,200 companies we follow in
StockEvaluator.xls. The one that I
profiled last week and still looks the best to me is Shell Oil (RDS-A). Last week I told you that I had entered a PUT
order for RDS-A, but it has continued to come down so fast this week that on
Thursday I decided to lower my Strike price for more safety if the price
continues going down. I changed my PUT
order for RDS-A to now be a January 2014 $62.50 PUT at a price of $4.10. If it sells, that will give me a 6.5% return
for the next 7 months that my money is tied up even if I never have to buy the
stock, and RDS-A goes down and gets PUT to me, then my actual buy in price will
be $62.50 - $4.10= $58.40. RDS-A pays a
4.7% annual dividend, which I am happy to collect if I end up owning the stock.
So either way, I am happy with the outcome.
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 28
funds. They are all Bond funds, which
are continuing to go down due to the worry that Bernanke and The FED will
finally start to raise interest rates, which will drive down the price of bonds
even more than they are now.
