2 Current Portfolio Valuation. Portfolio Valuation 2017/April/10 is $285,933 According to Lincoln the portfolio is increasing at a rate of 17% per annum and this week+1 day we were up about $5,000 or 2%

3 Comment. We currently have 8 securities and about $52k in cash Losers >10% - Losers 5.1%-10% - Losers 0%-5% - Gainers 0%-5% 3 Gainers 5.1%-10% - Gainers10.1% - 20% 3 Gainers 20%-30% - Gainers 30%-40% 2 Gainers >40% - Portfolio comment. All Stocks ended green (to Friday last week) other than ANZ, FMG, IHOO, IHVV, which ended slightly RED (4 out of 8 stocks green). All stocks are still in hold territory. To me FMG increasingly looks a little weak and increasingly looks like it ll hit a sell signal. If it keeps trending down, we ll sell it. If it turns up we ll continue to hold. That s the game we re playing here. Conversely AGL has had a very strong run in recent times. If you check it s fundamentals on Lincoln you ll see it has a very high Dec 2016 PE of 51x, however it also has a June 2017 forecast for 98% EPS growth and hence a forecast June PE of only 25x. Whatever is going on our portfolio is certainly benefiting.

4 Status of US Markets on (thurs for Lincoln charts and Friday for non Lincoln charts. Dow. Closed RED for the week Futures Green (Monday) Still within buy territory has not crossed down S&P 500 was RED week to thurs. FUTURES Green on Monday Nasdaq. RED for Week (Just). Futures GREEN Russell 2000 Green for week, Futures Green Vix. closed RED (which I ll take to be a GREEN signal for our portfolio) Note the slight kick up over recent weeks

5 Status of Australian Markets XAO All Ordinaries Index. RED but still above the line. Positive Gap formed in MMA, ROAR close to 20%. XMD Midcap 50 RED and above the line Small positive Gap formed in the MMA. ROAR trending Close to 20% XSO Small Ords GREEN and now seems to be clearly ABOVE the buy line MMA not open at least the short term black lines have appeared above the longer term blue lines ROAR now ABOVE Zero XVI Volatility Index was Green (a RED signal for us) Whilst up..it s still well into the lower range since this index has become available since about March In summary the main US Markets were RED albeit Green Futures for Monday. ASX markets were ever so slightly down last week and the volatility index is UP. I m fascinated to see that small ords has crossed up in the past week. This seems like it might be good news for an actively managed portfolio. It may be time to open up the purses depending upon what we see happen on Monday (particularly Monday night in USA)

6 Allow me to add a new index to this newsletter. Let s call the value index. How it works: Filter stocks with the following criteria 1. Financial health = strong or satisfactory 2. Dividend yield >2.5% 3. PE <15 4. Price to NTA per share above zero and under 5 5. Enterprise value above $500m 6. Excludes mining stocks and most financials (as advised by Alan Hull) So what we re looking for is strong stocks that seem cheap. Each week we ll count the number of stocks that fit that criteria. In a high priced market there will be few of these. In a low priced market there ll be more of these so perhaps this will allow us to better understand where the market is. Why do this? In a low price market (down market) we ll be looking to buy dividend stocks.in turning market or increasing market we switch to growth stocks so perhaps this will assist us to understand where we are Search for Value count 0 4/02/2017 4/03/2017 4/04/2017 4/05/2017 No comments this week I think way too few data points to any inferences. We look for either a sharp increase or decrease in stocks found by this filter. If there are many stocks here then buying value stocks might be a good strategy. If there are few perhaps it indicates we re at the top of the market?

7 Comments on Star and Borderline Stocks. Stocks in Sell Territory. If I had these stocks I should have sold out. Star Stocks APX, BBN, CCP, HSN, RCG RFG, RFG, RHC, SAR, TNE, VTG Borderline Stocks CKF, DMP, VOC Stocks that closed Green for week AND are rising at above or close to 20% per annum (based on ROAR) AND are above the line. In other words worth assessment for possible rating as a buy. Star Stocks ALL, COH, IRI, NCK, NHF, NST, RRL, SSM, Borderline Stocks REA, Lots of Red and yet by far the most greens I ve seen for several months now. Charts worth thinking about. REA has surged from a low of about $48 last October to just under $60. ALL** check it s graph. It has not had a clear sell signal for a long time. If you followed this active trading system and held that stock from about $3 back in Jan 2013 it would have been comfortably held until now with a valuation above $18 (plus a smallish dividend). This is exactly the kind of stock that the Newsletter portfolio is looking for.

8 Selling Report. Nothing to report I m guessing that perhaps FMG will hit a sell signal soon Buying Report. Nothing to report For an actively managed portfolio we ve done little in recent times.

9 Stocks worth assessing as suitable for purchase if conditions are right this week The following stocks are on our potential buy list and closed Green for the week A2M**, ALL**, AGL**, AZJ, CGC**, CGF**, CHC, NCK, NDQ**, RFF**, WPL Next week I ll refresh the target buying list for this portfolio. As you can see from above I personally hold quite a few stocks that are found using the exactly the same strategies as this newsletter portfolio

10 Bonus Charts: In this section I ll sometimes list a chart that catches my eye and provide a brief comment. If you want a stock reviewed, perhaps me and I might include it (no promises) Chart Comment WPL 1 year return inc div 38% Approx 5% grossed up div When a top 50 stock grows like this if I jump on board I know I can get out easily if it turns around. Worth checking out. NDQ** Beta shares NASDAQ ETF Return incl div over 1 year 22.5% One problem is daily turnover of only $360,000

11 MND Mining services stocks were on the nose for a long time. Stong rating Dividends over 7% 1 year return inc div 97% Can it continue?

12 Parting comment Oil prices seem to have sharply declined Bond prices seem to be increasing sharply (which usually happens when interest rates are on the way down Coper base been roughly flat for the past few months (around the 2.65 mark). What does it all mean? Good luck trying to make sense of the entire market Instead we ll try to pick stocks with good (allegedly) fundamentals which the market likes and crowds are lining up to buy them. We ll also sell those when the crowd decides it s time to look elsewhere. We re not smart enough to be pure fundamentalists. Have a good week Have a good week Warning.
