This week, all of the world market indices
were up on the good economic reports about U.S. GDP, retail sales, unemployment
and job creation. Read more here: http://news.yahoo.com/big-ends-wall-street-hopeful-2014-212238837--sector.html
I still think the markets are overpriced but I
continue looking for good values on individual stocks of good solid
companies.

This week I bought LeapFrog (LF) at $7.90. See
the details below in (CALL
or PUT) Sells for This Week. LF closed
this week at $7.89 which is near their 18 month low. Revenue is up 4%, profit margin is 13%, but
stock price is down from $11.50 in July due to a software glitch on their newly
released LeapPad Ultra this summer. They
have corrected the glitch, but now are gaining more competitors (Amazon, Apple,
Samsung) in the education tablet business.
LeapFrog already had VTech as a competitor. So there are many downward pressures on LF
stock, but they have good fundamentals, and I think they can compete with these
rivals and will recover from this.
See these articles for current problems being
faced by LF:
See the Yahoo Profile for LF at http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=LF+Profile
See the Yahoo 10 year chart for LF at http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=LF+Interactive#symbol=lf;range=20020731,20131226;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=candlestick;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined;

Price <5% above 52 week low, Volatility >3%, Profit>0%, <6 Red

MutualFundEvaluator ‘Short List’
View ‘Short List’ here: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/mutualfundevaluator_short_list.xls
Mutual Funds that are within 3% of their 52
week low AND have less than 3 Red cells.
This week’s list has 43 funds. All except 1 (FRIFX) are Bond funds, which
are all still 3 to 7% above their lows from 2006 to 2008 before The FED dropped
interest rates to bring the U.S. out of the recession. When interest rates go down, bond prices go
up, and when interest rates go up, bond prices go down. These bond funds only pay a 3 to 4% annual
dividend and I think the bond prices will go down another 3 to 4% when The FED
finally lets interest rates go back to historic levels which mean 10 Year Bond
interest rate of at least 3.5% compared to today’s 10 year rate of 3.01%. I will continue to wait before buying any
bond funds because I do not want to lose a whole year’s worth of interest if I
buy back in too soon.
