Investment Idea Sharing – August 30, 2014:
See below for my personal stock market Buys or
Sells this week:
Sell Stock: CHL
Sell Covered Call: NOK
Sell Cash Secured PUT: GES
Last week, the world market indices were all pretty
flat except Russia was down
6% due to the continued unrest in Ukraine . Brazil ’s Bovespa index was up 4%
this week and up 19% for all of 2014.
But the Bovespa index changed their company weighting rules in April, so
some of this meteoric rise appears to be due to book keeping changes and not the
underlying prices of the companies on the index. See story here: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/brazil-bourse-previews-bovespa-index-154100964.html
The Dow Jones 30 Industrials and S&P 500
are still close to their all time highs.
Here is an informative article I enjoyed about
Charles Dow, founder of The Wall Street Journal and the Dow Jones Industrial
average. https://www.fidelity.com/viewpoints/active-trader/dow-days-of-summer?ccsource=email_monthly
I continue to look for stocks that have good
fundamental financial values, but stock prices near 52 week lows.

When CHL got back up in price to be a 35% gain
for me, I decided to “Not Get Greedy” and so I sold it.

Here are my Option (CALL or PUT) Sells/Buys for This Week:
Option:
Cash Secured PUT
Stock Symbol: GES
Sell to Open Date: 8/28/2014
Expiration Date: March 2015
Strike Price: $23
Option Price: $2.10
Guess (GES) reported quarterly earnings below
Wall Street estimates and also a 4.8% decline in revenues. Read story here: http://www.thestreet.com/story/12860235/1/why-guess-ges-stock-is-slumping-today.html?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO
GES has good fundamental values, and sorts to
the top of the Retail group of stocks in Stock Evaluator when I do a Ctrl-N
“Sort on Red Cell count Within Industry”.
I found that the March 2015 PUT at Strike of $23 was selling for $2.10
which is an 8% return to me over about 8 months, so I sold this PUT.
See 5 year chart for GES:
Option:
Covered CALL
Stock Symbol: NOK
Sell to Open Date: 8/29/2014
Expiration Date: April 2015
Strike Price: $9
Option Price: $.50
Nokia (NOK), I originally bought NOK in March
2011 at $8.50, and since then it went lower than $2 / share in July 2012 due to
all the problems in their phone business.
NOK announced the proposed sale of their phone handset business to
Microsoft in September 2013, and since then, NOK stock has been slowly
recovering. The sale finalized in April
2014.
