All stocks are in hold territory Big question. Are we too overweight in A2M and SVW?
Are we overweight? Two stocks A2M (21%) and SVW (14%) weigh heavily. Should I lighten up on these? I ve been reluctant to sell whilst they ve been going up. What do you think I should do please?

VALUE index update 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) 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: BKW, CSR* Comment. Graph still flat one day it might move
Selling and Buying Report. Last week we warned that NHC looked close to hitting its sell signal and when it did we cleared out at 2.10 per share. As of Friday night it was sitting on 2.07. So we then took the cash on hand and bought JIN which has a very decent 25% ROA and for a fast growing stock has what seems to be an ok PE of about 20x (forecast), plus it pays a forecast dividend of above 5% (gross)

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 CBA Returns inc divs 5year 3 year 1 year 7% -1% -6% For the past few years inclusive of dividends you ve lost money if you ve held onto CBA. You ve done better by keeping your money in the bank. Sadly TLS Returns inc divs(approx.) 5year 3 year 1 year -.01% -13% -24% ROE is about 34% Div yield is about 9% gross PE prospective is about 11 This stock probably can t go much lower rationally but there is little market support. AMP Returns inc divs (approx.) 5year 3 year 1 year 5% -2% 11% Div yield prospective apx 8% gross PE prospective is about 15x ROE about 14% No need to hurry into this stock
Parting comment S&P ASX 200 Health index. Has been growing reasonably strongly since about Jan 2017 Take a look at LHC, SHL, COH, RMD and of course CSL. Health is the only index that s got a decent gaining index at the moment. Personally think th e. International markets What do you see when you look at these charts? I see them still trending up however volatility has increased and the risk of turning down seems to have increased. What about iron ore. Mid last year is was at about $55 now about $72. Hence increases in miners!
What does it all mean? This is my message to myself Hold the finger over the sell button. Press it firmly only if and definitely if a sell signal is hit. Don t press before hand. (well maybe if a stock represents over 25% of a portfolio perhaps lighten up a little not sure about that one) Buy good quality stocks that have market support and let them run whilst they appreciate. Be disciplined check for sells daily check for buys weekly. If there s nothing to buy don t chase just wait. If there s something to sell don t wait sell. (note to self read this sentence a few times and pay attention I can see that I ve been guilty of breaking this rule last week!) What s your plan?. Can you describe it clearly. Can you write it down. Can you follow it with discipline. Do you know if you re following your plan or straying? If you don t have a written plan what is the very first thing you can do to make the plan more concrete, clearer and likely to be followed? Can you do that first thing today? Warning.
