Investment Idea Sharing – February 21, 2015
NOTE: I am going on vacation out of the country for the next
month.
There will be no web update and no investment email until March
27, 2015
See below for my personal stock market Buys or
Sells for this week:
Buy Stock/ Fund: CLF, RIG,
UCO, UVXY
Sell Stock/Fund: none
Sell (to Open) Covered CALL: none
Buy (To Close) Covered Call: none
Sell (to Open) Cash Secured PUT: CLF, JDST, RIG, UCO, UVXY
Buy (to Close) Cash Secured PUT: none
See the details on each of these transactions
below the Weekly Summary table.
The world market indices were mostly up this
week. US Markets, (Dow Jones 30, S&P
500) hit new all time highs on news of the Greek debt being extended and hope
that the FED will keep interest rates low for longer. Read more here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2015/02/20/stocks-friday/23728161/
The price of oil went down this week and ended
at $50.81, down from $52.78 last week.

I have added a new Pre-Screened version of
StockEvaluator.xls that screens for companies with good fundamental values
whose stock price has dropped more than 10% over the past month. Download this new screened spreadsheet
here: http://www.ultimatestockfinder.com/stockevaluator_monthly_drop.xls
I continue to look for stocks that have good
fundamental financial values, but stock prices near 52 week lows and, where
possible, near 5 year lows.
I am also looking for ETF’s that pay at least
a 1% PUT Option premium for a 1 week expiration, at a strike price near their
52 week LOW.
