Investment Idea Sharing for May 31, 2013

This Week's Activity - May 31, 2013:

This week, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index continued last weeks downhill run, ending on May 31 at 13,774 from being at 15,381 on Monday May 20.  This is now a 10% drop in 2 weeks.  In this same time frame the Dow only dropped from 15,391 down to 15,115 which is only a 2% drop so the Nikkei is not causing panic in the U.S. markets yet.  I still think the Dow is too high, and am keeping very high standards for anything I may want to buy.

Remember that StockEvaluator “Short List” is now a web page so it will open immediately on your smartphone.  “Short List” is the special sort and filter screen from StockEvaluator.xls that I run every week so I can see only the few companies that are within 5% of their 52 week low AND have less than 5 Red cells.  This week’s “Short List” has 14 companies out of the 2,200 companies we follow in StockEvaluator.xls.  New to this week’s list is Petrochina (PTR), along with repeat appearances of Posco (PKX) and Statoil (STO).  The smallest of these 3 is PKX at $55 billion in revenues.  These are 3 very big companies, the kind that I like, but since I think the market is too high, I am doing more research on them but not buying yet.  I will let you know if I find any more reasons to buy any of these.  Short List shows you companies that require further research to see if they fit your investment objectives.  You can open StockEvaluator.xls “Short List” from the home page at UltimateStockFinder.com
