The world market indices were ALL DOWN over
the past month. Since July 18, the Dow
is down 11.0% and the S&P 500 is down 9.7%.
Both indices are now down for 2015, Dow by 9.7% and S&P by 6.7%. Several reasons: China
devalued their currency; The FED may raise interest rates here in the U.S.

rate increase here: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/5-ways-rising-interest-rates-could-hit-main-street-171532119.html
Monthly (was Weekly) Summary Table of
Worldwide Market Index Closing values:
I am trying to find good
dividend or interest paying mutual funds and stocks that pay about a 5%
dividend/interest in order to build up our annual dividend/interest
income.
Since I sold all of my UVXY,
USO and UCO holdings 4 weeks ago, I have cash that can be re-deployed to any
good dividend and interest paying investments that I can find.
So, I have run several screens
in Stock Evaluator and Mutual Fund Evaluator to bring good prospects to the top
for me to do more research on. There are many good companies and funds
paying about 5%.
Here is the
link to a screen I ran using Stock Evaluator spreadsheet that has 15 oil
companies that made it through my dividend screen. Several are at 5
year lows.
The Screening
parameters are:
Column B contains "Oil"
Annual Sales revenue >$900,000,000
Shares Outstanding >49,900,000
P/E <20
Price / Sales <1.5
P/B <2.5
Profit Margin >0%
Dividend % >3.5%
EV / Revenue <2.0
EV / EBITDA <8.0
Dividend Payout Ratio <70%
I here are the
links to 3 Excel spreadsheets that I screened using my current Mutual Fund
Evaluator data.
The first
screen is on excellent taxable bond mutual funds that are at least as good as
my favorite bond fund, LSBRX from Loomis Sayles. I have owned LSBRX since
2002.
The LSBRX Screening
parameters are:
Net Fund
Assets >$1,000,000,000 (Col.
Dividend
Yield % >3.0% (Div. Yield in Col.
Net
Yield % after fund annual expenses >2.4% (in
Col. K)
10 Year
Average Return % >6.0% (Col. N)
Sales
Load % <0.1%
The second
screen is on excellent Tax-Free municipal bond mutual funds that are at least
as good as my favorite muni bond fund, VWLTX from Vanguard. I have owned
VWLTX since 2010.
The VWLTX Screening
parameters are:
Column B
contains "Muni"
Net
Assets >$1,000,000,000
5 Year
Average Return % >4.0%
10 Year
Return % >4.0%
Sales
Load % <0.1% (Col.
Minimum
Investment <$50,000 (Col.
The third
screen is on excellent large cap stock funds that are at least as good as my
favorite managed large cap stock fund, FCNTX from Fidelity. I have owned
FCNTX since 1995.
The FCNTX Screening
parameters are:
Net
Assets >$800,000,000
Expense
Ratio <1.0%
5 Year
Return % >16.0%
10 Year
Return % >9.0%
Sales
Load % <0.1%
Minimum
Investment <$50,000
I am using
these spreadsheets to find better funds than the ones I currently own and I am
planning to put more money into some of these better funds in the near future.
I still think the market, both stocks and bonds, may drop some more if
the FED decides to raise interest rates, so I am not in a big hurry to invest
more right now. I will try to be patient.

I have added several custom macro sort
commands to StockEvaluator.xls and MutualFundEvaluator.xls to provide easy to
run searches that will screen for the kinds of companies and funds that I think
will provide this safe long term income to me.

I made 3 macro screeners to look for funds
that are as good or better than my 3 favorite fund holdings. I have held these 3 mutual funds for between
5 to 20 years and want to buy more of these same types of funds.
Loomis Sayles Bond Fund (LSBRX) buys
intermediate term high yield bonds and has outperformed most of its bond fund
competition over the past 25 years.
Annual dividend is currently 3.5% taxable. Click Button C to run this “Better than
LSBRX” screen.
Fidelity Contra Fund (FCNTX) buys excellent
large cap companies and has out performed most other mutual funds over the past
5, 10 and 25 years. Annual return is
>12% for the past 25 years. Click
Button D to run this “Better than FCNTX” screen.
Vanguard Long Term Municipal Bond Fund (VWLTX)
buys excellent muni bonds and has outperformed most of its muni bond
competition over the past 25 years.
Annual dividend is currently 3.7% tax-free. Click Button E to run this “Better than
VWLTX” screen.
After you run each of these screeners, you
must always put the spreadsheet back to where it started by Clicking Button A
“Turn On / Off Data –Filter-Auto Filter Command”. Then click Button Q to restore the
spreadsheet to the Ascending sort on Industry & Symbol. Then you can click any button to run a
different screener.
Please remember to send me any other
investing ideas, information or questions that you want to share with the group.
