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) 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 Search for Value count We search for (a) sharp increase or (b) 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? From this search the following stocks are possibly worth a look CSR, HVN, NHC, Comment. Graph still flat
Selling Report. Buying Report. All of the above stocks were bought on Friday 16/2 at about 11am. (I bought them also in my real cash portfolio). After several days of uptrend in the USA and a decent signal from the USA futures market I decided it was time to wade back into the market. We re still only about 79% invested so perhaps we might buy a few more stocks next week if the market is trending up both here and overseas. (as usual if the stocks trend down I ll be going to cash).
Stocks worth assessing as suitable for purchase if conditions are right this week We re keeping out of the market at this time however if things turn up for a few days then I might venture back in so these lists have all been updated. (beware though things can change quickly in reporting season. There are loads of things to check out on these lists.it s nice to see so many to work on.

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 email me and I might include it (no promises) Chart Comment AWC* 5, 3 & 1 year returns are 17%, 14% and 21% (approx) ROE prospective is about 17% rising to 18% in year 2. PE prospective is about 14 Dividend above 9% Has been doing well since early 2016. MIN* 5, 3 & 1 year returns are 16%, 45% and 54% (approx) ROA is about 22% Div yield is about 4% gross PE prospective is about 12 Quite possibly the lowest PE Star Stock. IPH 5, 3 & 1 year returns are NA%, 0% and (-22%) (approx). Div yield prospective about 8% gross PE prospective is about 13x I sold this stock for $5.06 on 12/2 (when it hit a sell signal). Its since dropped a further 24% approx. to 3.85. Stock has a high ROA (about 20%) and forecasts show decent growth. If this pops back above the line it might be worth looking at.
Parting comment WORLD markets in amazing bounce. Is it a dead cat bounce or are we back to growth?. USA markets seemed to have bounced back as have European and Japanese markets. The VIX surged to highest level for perhaps 5 years and then turned back down again quite sharply. What looked like the start of a slide looks much less like one now. The newsletter portfolio was convinced enough to wade back into the market and buy a few stocks and perhaps will buy more next week (as we like to be fully invested where possible). What are your plans? USA interest rates are trending up (as shown by Bond prices which are trending down). Based on these charts we seem to see evidence that USA interest rates are going up. It s a complicated world and things don t always work out as they should however if USA interest rates are headed up then it would seem reasonable to expect that Australian Interest rates will go up also (something that the RBA confirmed perhaps) or if they don t then the AUD will be headed down. Both of those outcomes affect a lot of things.
Gold Copper and Palladium prices have trended up over the past year or so(palladium is used in catalytic converters and electronics for example) What does it all mean? This is my message to myself Looking at the above charts. GET READY TO SELL (but only if sell signals are hit) however GET READY to BUY if the upturn continues. Do not sit and be like a rabbit in the headlights.frozen until run over. I m still kicking myself..i forgot all about the negative ETFs like Bear and BBOZ in the down week. Silly me I missed out on a 10% gain on those.but beware I d want to check these a couple of times per day to make sure I sell if they hit a sell signal. I ve spent about 40% of the pile of cash in the newsletter portfolio this week the rest needs to put that back in the market I need to be careful but not too careful being too careful doesn t work.albeit letting losses run also doesn t work Warning.
