Investment Idea Sharing Nov. 3, 2013

This Week's Activity – November 2, 2013: 

















This week, the world wide indexes finished the week mixed.  I can not find a good reason for why the Hang Seng (HSI, Hong Kong) was up so much (2.4%).  Also notice that Asian and South American markets: HSI (Hong Kong), SSE (China), KOSPI (South Korea), BOVESPA (Brazil) have ALL NOT participated in the huge 2013 rally of about 20% that the U.S., Japanese and the European indices have done.  

I still think the markets are overpriced.  One value I check to confirm if stock is overpriced is the P/E ratio.  I prefer to buy stocks with a P/E under 15, so when the overall stock markets are above P/E of 15, I view them as being too high.  On the Ultimate Stock Finder “Links” page, I have put links the P/E Ratios for many of the worldwide market indices.

Index         Current P/E
Dow 30         17.0
S&P 500        20.3
NASDAQ        24.3
FTSE 100       27.5
DAX              22.7

This week I was not able to get the data from Yahoo Finance to populate my Stock Evaluator spreadsheet.  Yahoo was too busy and refused to answer my data queries.  For the past few months, Trey and I have been testing out the FinViz.com customizable stock screener because it provides almost the same screening criteria that we use in Stock Evaluator.  Here is the link to FinViz.com that approximates the “Short List” that I have been running every week: 

Today, this FinViz screen returned 5 companies:  EZPW, MIL, RCII, SENEA, TWI.  I checked these against Last Week’s “Short List” and 2 of them (EZPW , TWI) were on last week’s list.  So, there is some commonality between FinViz and my Short List.  Until I can get Stock Evaluator working, I am going to use FinViz.com.

StockEvaluator “Short List”
No ‘Short List’ this week due to Yahoo Finance data feed problems.  Please use FinViz.com link.
This week, 5 companies are on the FinViz list.  They are: EZPW, MIL, RCII, SENEA, TWI.    

Stock Evaluator “Volatility Sort”
No ‘Volatility Sort’ this week due to Yahoo Finance data feed problems.  Please use FinViz.com link.  http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=fa_netmargin_pos,fa_payoutratio_u70,fa_pb_u3,fa_ps_u2,fa_salesqoq_pos,ta_highlow52w_a0to10h,ta_volatility_wo6&ft=4
This week, 2 companies are on the FinViz list.  They are: ACCO , RTK 
   
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 26 funds.  All are Bond funds, which 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.  I expect that we will now have to wait until 2014 when the new FED chairperson is sworn in before the FED will agree to any interest rate increases.
