The U.S. market indices turned up on
Wednesday, this week, and made up for all of their losses over the past 2
weeks. Most of the world indices also
had an up week. I believe this is due to
the Fed announcing that it will not raise interest rates until mid 2015. The free money party is still going! Also, the price of oil ended this week at the
same price as last week.

I continue to look for stocks that have good
fundamental financial values, but stock prices near 52 week lows and, where
possible, 5 year lows.

My wife still likes Barbie dolls after all
these years. Over the past year, as we
watched Mattel (MAT) go from $47.94 to $28.67, she has been pestering me to buy
some. At $28, MAT would be at a 3 year
low. Their 5 year low is $20. When I see how much money my wife spends on
Mattel “Frozen” dolls for the neighbor girls, I decided the only way to protect
my cash flow was to own some Mattel, because they pay a 5% dividend. Their dividend payout ratio is 72% which is
above my max. target of 50%, but they are still solidly profitable, so I am
hoping the dividend is safe. Also,
several of their toy competitors were downgraded this week on weak Christmas
sales concerns, so I think the market is overreacting.
