This Week's Activity – July 6, 2013:
Our next meeting is this Tuesday, July 9 at 7:30PM at my house.
This week, the Japanese Nikkei 225 index continued
its recovery, ending on July 5 at 14,309 up from 13,677 last week, but still
down from being at 15,381 on Monday May 20.
This is now only a 7% drop in 7 weeks.
This week, the Dow ended at 15,135, up from 14,909 last week, still down
from 15,391 on May 20, but now only a 1.7% 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 Metals (gold, silver, platinum, copper) are all at 52 week lows, along
with Agriculture (corn, soybeans and wheat) also at 52 week lows. But, Oil is at 52 week HIGHs.
I think the high oil prices are helping to
keep oil company prices up and as a result, RDS-A is not dropping enough for me
to sell my PUT option. So I cancelled
this PUT order and replaced it with a Jan2014 $27 PUT on FCX (Freeport McMoran
Copper & Gold) at a limit price of $3.20 which will give me a 12% PUT
option return. FCX pays a 4.3% dividend and
goes ex-dividend on July 11, 2013. I
noticed that each time FCX goes ex-dividend, the stock price drops by $.30 to
$.50 which is about the same as the quarterlydividend amount. I am hoping this drop will happen on July 11
and help me to sell this PUT option.
Also, I am trying a “Volatility” buy using HXM,
a Mexican homebuilder. They showed up on
the
StockEvaluator “Volatility” sort that is
available from the “Stock Evaluator” webpage http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluatorindex.html
at “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%.
