This Week's Activity – April 5, 2014:
Remember our next monthly meeting is this
Tuesday, April 8, 2014, 7:30 PM at my house.
The Yahoo Finance lookup functions for Mutual
Fund Evaluator are now working again thanks to a lot of help from my friends
Michael B. and Nathan. This week’s
updated Mutual Fund Evaluator is now available at www.ultimatestockfinder.com for
download. We are now using customizable
Stock Market Functions that work inside an Excel spreadsheet and go to the web
and strip out data values from URL’s that you can specify. Let me know if you would like more
information on how we are doing this and I will send you a short tutorial
email.
My AARP magazine for April has an excellent
“What I Know Now” interview with Barbara Walters where she makes several really
good comments on how to live. The one I
liked best is about friends: “My friends are very important…we trust each
other, we have fun, we can say anything to each other and not leave the room
and worry, Why did I say that?”.
Read the interview here:
I bought RFMD in Jan. 2012 at $4.45, and this
week (April 1, 2014) I sold it at $8.00 (see ‘Stock Sells’ below). In early February, RFMD announced they were
merging with TriQuint (TQNT), and my shares jumped from $5 to $7 in about 4
weeks. Read more here: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/triquint-rfmd-merger-equals-205504969.html

This week, the world market indices were mostly
flat, but Russia was up 4%
and Japan and China Russia ’s aggressive moves in the Crimea are acceptable.

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.
Last 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:

target limit values here: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/short_list_12_criteria.JPG
Stocks on the ‘Short List’ list this week are:
CAJ, KYO, DCM, VSBN
I also use FinViz stock screener as a parallel
check along with my ‘Short List’ 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
