Mea Culpa. I made a mistake and have fixed it. I “bought” slightly too many
shares of RHL and JIN recently (less than 100 shares too many). Result was
that theoretical cash went below zero by about $200 (which should of course
not happen). So I slightly cheated by reducing the purchased number of
shares by a very small about (until a cash balance was kept above Zero.
Sorry.

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)
• 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*, GNC, TGH, WHC
Comment. Graph still flat…(sorry for gaps)…prediction…one day this chart will move strongly
up…who knows when…but we’ll see it here.

Selling and Buying Report. No buys or sells this week. No transactions since Mid March…a nice comfortable place to be

Stocks worth assessing as suitable for
purchase if conditions are right this week There are loads of things to check out on these lists. I suspect that if you had a portfolio made up of
any 30 of these stocks you’d have had a decent run in the past few weeks

HACK
You can safely assume that I either own the above stocks or are thinking about adding them to my
holdings. There are some here with ugly historical stories (look at TLS for example)…and yet they are
still on my list. (note I’d aim to buy no more than 3% of my portfolio in buying such stocks…so even
if they go down the exposure to my overall portfolio would be small.
3 Hour Investor Newsletter incorporating the “Newsletter Portfolio” Year 2. Week 47-2018-Apr-28 Strategies explained. Each strategy attempts to find stocks or ETFs that meet the following criteria.
(a) Acceptable Fundamentals
(b) Acceptable daily trade volume
(c) Acceptable market support at current prices.

If you want a stock reviewed, perhaps email me and I might include it (no promises)

• Div yield prospective > 5% gross
• PE prospective is about 12
• ROA about 24% Seems to have popped back above the buy line. It’s certainly of interest to me.

• Daily trade about $328k Price has popped back above “the buy line” and with such a low PE perhaps this stock can appreciate further
3 Hour Investor Newsletter incorporating the “Newsletter Portfolio” Year 2. Week 47-2018-Apr-28 Parting comment
Another nail in the Aussie property bubble?
Over the past couple of years we’ve seen many straws being added to an “overloaded camels back”
I guess I’m trying to say that the Australian property bubble seems to be facing a strong headwind
and perhaps at best is unlikely to continue. Examples
• Increased restrictions on foreign buyers, including increased stamp duties and more careful
scrutiny of who’s buying
• Increased taxes such as stamp duty changes for off the plan buyers, eliminating depreciation
on buyers of second hand properties and announced “vacant property taxes” etc
• Increases in interest rates (initially for property investors)…but also for others .
• Threats of increased interest rates (eg we can see that US rates are rising which puts
pressure on local bank rates)
• Pressure by funders of construction loans to refinance (eg from Maquarie to a Chinese
funder)
• Increased scrutiny of all property loan applications
• Reduced commissions for mortgage brokers (perhaps some will leave the market?)
And how does the above graph apply? Well anecdotally I’m being told that buyers who (for
example) had $800,000 of mortgage loans approved say one year ago…when they go back to the
bank upon completion of an investment apartment build…are finding that the bank is now offering
them a lot less…say $650,000 when it comes time to settle.
What this graph implies (its from today’s Age Newspaper…full credit to them)…is that a family with
$100,000 net income used to be able to get a loan for about $500,000 and now only qualifies for say
$380,000 (down about 24%...and this reduction is even higher with bigger loans). If this is
true…there’s simply less money available for people to borrow to spend on properties and if there’s
less money available perhaps this means property prices will decline. So far it seems prices have
simply stagnated (note I’ve not done any research myself…just based on what I read in the press…so
take this with a grain of salt).
3 Hour Investor Newsletter incorporating the “Newsletter Portfolio” Year 2. Week 47-2018-Apr-28 What does this all mean. Who knows?....however if property prices do go into decline that’s not a
good thing for an investor banking on rising share prices. What will I do differently?...I’m just going
to stick to my formulae of paying close attention to sell signals and to be careful in entering the
market. I still think I have to expose my capital to the markets…not sit on the sideline. (note that I
will however also in the background…quietly prepare my downmarket strategy so that it’s ready to
dust off when required).
How about these charts of overseas exchanges. Looks like a fairly strong bounce back?
What do you see when you look at the graphs?
It looks to me that there was a fair bit of selling which has suddenly reversed and was followed with
several weeks of gains. What will happen next? Who knows.
next…not me that’s for sure)
What does it all mean? This is my message to myself
• Stick to my sell signal process. Go to 100% cash if required
• Don’t assume I can understand the market, or even individual stocks…they are simply too
complicated to understand. Every holding is an experiment to be proven right or wrong by
the market.
• Buy good quality stocks that have market support and let them run for as long as 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?
