This Week's Activity – February 9, 2014:
Remember this Tuesday Feb. 11 is the monthly
meeting at my house, at 7:30PM
I apologize for the lateness of this week’s
newsletter, but our Stock Data Look-up Program could not communicate with Yahoo Finance this entire
weekend so I was not able to to refresh any of the data in Stock Evaluator
Spreadsheet. Mutual Fund Evaluator web
look-up did work, to that data is up to date.
We will continue working to fix our web communication problem.
FinViz has the best web screener that I have
found and it is almost as good as Stock Evaluator, but it does not have:
Goodwill to Equity; E.V. / Revenue; E.V./ EBITDA.
Here is the FinViz screener: http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=fa_debteq_u0.8,fa_div_o1,fa_ltdebteq_u0.8,fa_netmargin_pos,fa_payoutratio_u70,fa_pb_u2,fa_pe_u20,fa_ps_u2,fa_salesqoq_pos,ta_highlow52w_a0to10h&ft=4
This week, the world market indices stopped their
downward trend of the past 2 weeks and held steady on hope for continued
employment growth and only minimal tapering of The Fed’s bond buying program. Read more here: http://news.yahoo.com/u-job-growth-seen-snapping-back-winter-chill-060208685--business.html
I still think the markets are overpriced but continue
to look for good values on individual stocks of good solid companies.

Summary Table of Worldwide Market Index
Closing values for this week:
This week I sold a PUT on NEM. See the details below in (CALL or PUT) Sells
for This Week.
NEM closed this week at $21.52 but hit a new 5
year low of $20.79 on Thursday. NEM has pretty
good fundamentals compared to others in the metals industry (ABX, VALE, FCX,
BHP, RIO , GLCNF) and I think the market is
overly worried about the price of gold continuing to go down. Gold is at $1,263 /oz which is down from the
52 week high of $1,679 in Jan. 2013 and way down from the all time high of
$1,917 on Aug. 23, 2011. Gold was at
almost this same $1,200 price in June 2013, and I am hoping it has
bottomed.
See the Yahoo 5 year chart for NEM:
Here is what Jim Cramer has to say about NEM,
he does not like them for these reasons:
StockEvaluator ‘Short List’
‘Short List’ screens using 12 fundamental value
limits that I want to see in a stock before considering it as a possible buy.
View our training video that shows how to
enter your preferred values for each of these ‘Short List’ screening limits:

Stocks on the ‘Short List’ list this week are: not run due to web data look-up problem
Stock Evaluator ‘Volatility Sort’
View ‘Volatility’ sort here: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluatorvolatilitysort.xls

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

Stocks on the ‘Volatility Sort’ this week are:
not
run due to web data look-up problem
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 34 funds. All are Bond funds, which are all still 3 to 8%
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
2.67%. 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.
The top two funds on this week’s short list
are BCOSX and MWTRX.
Here are their 10year charts to show why I am
still waiting to buy.
