This Week's Activity – October 5, 2013:
Remember that our monthly Investment Idea Sharing meeting is next
Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 7:30PM at my house.
Even with this week’s government shutdown, the
Dow Jones 30 Industrials stock market index is staying around 15,000 where it
has been since May 7. See the Dow chart
here: http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=%5EDJI+Interactive#symbol=%5Edji;range=1y;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;
This week, the Japanese Nikkei 225 dropped 5%,
but the rest of the world markets did not drop much. I hope the markets remain stable until Washington can reach an
agreement.
StockEvaluator “Short List” shows only companies that are within 5% of
their 52 week low AND have less than 5 Red cells.
Download the short list here: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluator_short_list.xls
This week 11 companies are on the short
list. None of them look good to me this
week.
One of these short list companies is ALJ, see
analysis below in “Volatility Sort” section.
Stock Evaluator “Volatility Sort” shows only companies
that have: Average Daily Price Volatility >3% ; Within 5% of their 52 week
low ; Less than 6 Red cells and Profit >0%.
Download the Volatility list here: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluatorvolatilitysort.xls
This week 3 companies are on the Volatility
list: ALJ, SYNC, WD
ALJ is currently at $10.03, down from a 52
week high of $21.09 in Feb. 2013, but their Sept. 2011 low was $6.13. ALJ releases quarterly earnings on Nov. 6,
2013. I can’t find anything that
explains why they are down so much. So,
I am going to stay away from ALJ.
ALJ is Alon USA Energy, Inc. engages in
refining and marketing petroleum products primarily in the South Central,
Southwestern, and Western regions of the United States . The company operates
in three segments: Refining and Marketing, Asphalt, and Retail. The Refining
and Marketing segment refines crude oil into petroleum products, including
gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, petrochemicals, feed stocks, asphalts, and
other petroleum products. It markets finished products and blend stocks through
sales and exchanges with other oil companies, state and federal governmental
entities, unbranded wholesale distributors, and various other third parties.
The other 2 companies on this week’s list are
less than $400 million per year revenue, so they do not look good to me.
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 44 funds. Just like the past few weeks, All but 1 are Bond
funds, which are continuing to go down in anticipation of The FED raising
interest rates. All of these bond funds
are still 5 to 10% above their lows of 2007 to 2009, so I am going to wait on making
any bond fund buys until they go even lower.
The one non-Bond fund on the list is FRIFX a Fidelity Stock Real Estate
REIT fund. It is down almost 10% from
its 52 week high, and back to its 52 week low but still 10% above the 2 year
low. I will wait for it to go lower
before considering it as a buy.
