This Week's Activity – July 13, 2013:
This week, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index continued
its recovery, ending on July 12 at 14,506 up from 13,309 last week, but still
down from 15,381 on Monday May 20. This
is now only a 5.7% drop in 8 weeks. This
week, the Dow ended at 15,464, up from 15,135 last week, now at a new all time
closing high. So, there is no obvious
drop or correction going on here. The market is hoping Mr. Bernanke and The FED
will keep the easy money policy and low interest rates going. Mr. Bernanke reiterated this week that he is
NOT going to raise the Prime Rate, so Wall Street continued going higher on
this good news. But, the clock is
ticking pretty loudly for that money train to stop, we just do not know when it
actually will. I am continuing to look
for companies with good fundamental financial values that are near their 52
week lows.
Even though The FED is holding the Prime Rate
at 3.25%, the 30-year Fixed Rate Mortgage rate has gone from 3.35% in Dec. 2012
to 4.07% in June 2013. This means that
regular people are paying higher interest rates to buy a house even though the
big banks can still borrow at Prime. I
have added weblinks to historical values for both of these rates at the
Ultimate StockFinder “Links” page http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/websearchlinksindex.html
Update on my “Volatility” buy of HXM, a
Mexican homebuilder. I bought them on
July 8 at $3.00 and sold them on July 11 at $3.50 for a 16% gain. I have another buy order in for HXM at $3.00
to see if I can do this same trade again next week. Their average daily volatility over the past
14 days is 7%. They showed up on the StockEvaluator
“Volatility” sort which is available from the “Stock Evaluator” webpage http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluatorindex.html
under the heading “Download Pre-Sorted Views of Stock Evaluator
for Quick Analysis”.
This “Volatility” sort shows only companies
that have:
Average Daily Price
Volatility >3%
Within 10% of their 52 week low
Less than 6 Red cells
Profit >0% and Dividend
>1%.
