This Week's Activity – March 29, 2014:
Two weeks ago, on March 13, China National
Offshore Oil Company (CEO) dropped to $147.24 due to a possible bribery scandal
in their dealings with the Chinese government.
Here is the article: http://seekingalpha.com/article/2093833-corruption-scandal-creates-a-buying-opportunity-for-cnooc
CEO has been showing up on several of my stock
screeners for the past few weeks. I have
been trying to decide if I should take a chance on this Chinese oil
company. Here is a link to the
StockEvaluator.xls spreadsheet with a ‘Row–by-Row’ Comparison of CEO and
several other large oil companies from around the world sorted by Red cell
count. CEO looks the best and also pays
a 3.8% dividend. http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluator_ceo_comparison.xls
Yahoo Finance Key Statistics for CEO:
I will place a Limit order for CEO on Monday
3/31/2014 at $149/share.
This week, the world market indices were mixed,
some up a little, some down a little, but mostly flat. Read more here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/wall-st-week-ahead-u-212331905.html
Summary Table of Worldwide Market Index
Closing values for this week:
I still think the markets are overpriced but I
continue to look for good values on individual stocks of good solid
companies.
This week I found a website (http://www.insiderinsights.com/free/
) that provides a free list of the weekly top 20 Insider Buys and Sells by
dollar volume for stocks traded on US markets.
I have added their link to the Ultimate Stock
Finder.com “Links” page at Table of Contents Section “1. Current Stock Market
Values & Metrics” http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/websearchlinksindex.html#today
At the right hand side of the “InsiderInsights
Free Stuff” page, select either “Buys” or “Sells” and then click “Get top
20”. The new window shows an excellent
table containing:
Filer Name and
Title; Company Name and Ticker Symbol; Transaction Type and $ Value.
I will be checking these Top 20 Buy and Sell
reports weekly to keep track of what the insiders are doing, and see what
stocks I should be researching.
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:
View the ‘Short List’ screening criteria and
target limit values here: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/short_list_12_criteria.JPG
Stocks on the ‘Short List’ list this week are:
CAJ, CHL, DCM
When StockEvaluator.xls was not working for
the past few weeks, I had to use the FinViz stock screener. It is excellent, so I am continuing to use it
along with my ‘Short List’ as a parallel check to find good fundamental stocks
that are near their 52 Week Lows. Here
is the FinViz stock screener link set to the 9 of 12 ‘Short List’ limits that
are available at FinViz.
This is in the FinViz ‘Custom’ view: http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=151&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
Due to continued problems with our Mutual Fund web look-up
functions, we still cannot update the data in Mutual Fund Evaluator.xls. We are working to fix this problem and hope
to have a fix in place soon. Stock
Evaluator.xls is now working properly and is available for download from our
website.
