I'm getting excited to buy..

August 25, 2010 – Comments (44)

I've been seeing a lot of fear, uncertainty and bad news lately.  My own pessimism levels feel a bit high, but my brain is thinking that it's starting to look like a good time to buy again.

Indeed, I am starting to see some sale prices on stocks:

 MTW has fallen below $9/share - that's a strong buy from me.  I'm currently overweight on this, so I would probably buy something else to diversify more.

 EGLE is almost cheap at $4.50/share - if it goes below 4 its a strong buy.  Also overweight.

 PRGN is at $3.6 / share - strong buy.  Possible for me, I don't own any shares yet - but I don't like that they are so much in the bigger capesize vessels.

 VWDRY is at $12.75 ( from $23 just a couple of weeks ago ) - if it goes below $12/share its a strong buy.  Vestas is truly on sale, but, I might wait on this one - it could get quite cheaper.  Wind power is having a very bad year.  Longterm, this is not a trend - Vestas is seeing a growing backlog of sales already, so the bottom should be in for them, but the market may penalize them more for lowering guidance this last week.

 AONE is at $6.47 / share.  I don't own any here, I need to do more research on this one.

 STP is near $7.50 / share.  Besides the glut of silicon, this is an interesting one.

 OTTR is at $18/share.  - Safe buy, but not a sale.  I've thought about this one a fair amount, a good utility / diversified company with some wind power aspect I like.  Less into the vinyl companies...

 INTC is at near $18/share - This is another safe but good purchase.. 

 I've been building money in my IRA to make some purchases.  So far this is my watch list.  Anyone else have thoughts on good deals that you are seeing in the markets now?  I'm building ideas before I make my next purchases.

 I was just looking at MTL - holy moly!  Congrats to AndreyLovesMTL - that stock is at $20/share now.. when I had it in CAPS it was $3.5/share, and I sold at $4.5.  Wow that guy was right!

I think the this distinction needs to be made between the overall market and individual stocks. It is currently a stock pickers market.  The overall market sucks. So its probably not a good idea right now to buy any market index funds.  But you can still outperform by picking individual stocks and sectors to invest in. 

I am bearish the overall market, bullish certain stocks.  Actually one of my limit orders just triggered today and I'm happy.

Overall I think this is a buying opportunity, but Vestas in particular is a great buy around these levels. The earnings "disappointment" was entirely predictable and caused by the almost complete lack of orders in the first half of 2009. Now orders are booming, but investors (if that term can even be used anymore) are selling off like there's no tomorrow. This is a great company (although in a less attractive industry) with honest and capable management. I would've added to my Vestas position if it wasn't for the screaming buy that is CRH. Mr Market really is a lunatic.

lorteungen -

 CRH looks interesting, I will read up on that one some more.  I agree that Vestas is terribly priced right now.  A lot is just investor sentiment, which will be quite poor on this one.  

 I remember how badly investors penalized MTW for the sin of buying Enodis (which now is the ONLY reason they are generating positive cash flow and have a good future - stupid investors!).   A similar penalty could easily occur with Vestas for the sin of lowering guidance - and breaking the growth stock appearance.

rofgile,

you could also take a look at some of the consulting firms, such as FCN, CRAI and ICFI. I own some CRAI and although times are certainly tough, I just can't see why they should be selling at these prices. Most are selling well below their 2009 lows.

Speaking of wind, I have been watching Gamesa (GCTAF.PK) lately. It suffered a double whammy being in the wind industry and headquartered in Europe (Spain). It is currently at its 52-week low of $6.60. It was trading above $50 two years ago (when I brilliantly called outperform) and was trading at 3x today's price as late as Jan 2010, which does not necessarily mean it should be trading in either of those ranges today - just shows how badly it has been beaten down. There are some compelling pitches here and top fools seem to love it (5 Stars, All 68 All-Stars have outperforms). Despite this, it has been the definition of a falling knife. Any thoughts?

outoffocus - implied correlation is at the highest level in history. This is the worst stock picking environment in the entire history of the market.

As for being excited to buy now - we are well over 50% higher than lows reached a little over a year ago! Being excited after a huge run up is hardly novel.

porte,

not to hijack the thread, but can I ask which sites you use for screening stocks and reading financial statements and metrics for european equities? I currently use the data at ft.com, but they only have (free) data for 5 years and I'm not crazy about the UI.

I think I probably will buy another dry shipping company..

There is a very strange trend in the BDI of 6 month cycle in pricing - and this is being seen in the prices of the dry shippers..

Here is my chart I made back in June 22 and posted in this blog of Griffin412 comment 10 :

So, a stock like EGLE might be my purchase.  

Compare EGLE's quarterly revenue/profit to that of PRGN.  PRGN looks like its falling apart!  EGLE looks like it hit a revenue bottom and is on the upswing..

 I'm going to keep thinking for now and try not to rush into buying like I tend to :)  Limit orders are my friend too sometimes to hold back..

Rof,

I'm seeing lots of bargains out there lately. I just picked up some shares of SFN (took a big hit after the latest jobless claims went up).  Wish I had more cash to add to my IRA!

If you like dividends, take a look at PNNT, MFA, KFN.  There is a nice article that explains why these are good values right now - although you may disagree with the writer's choice of PRGN:

SBLK is the best of the bunch though, and paying a great dividend.  I'm surprised it was not mentioned in the same breath.

I bought shares this morning..

Reviewing the possibilities, I decided to expand my real life position in EGLE-

I just like how this company's earnings / revenue picture looks compared to other dry shippers such as PRGN.  

What I like about EGLE is that the revenue, net income, and profit margin have all three been increasing over the last three quarters.  That's great to see - if you compare this to PRGN, you see decreasing revenues and profit with PRGN.  I think this is largely a function of better management and different ship classes.  EGLE is different from most of the dry shippers in that its almost entirely made of the smaller HANDYMAX ships.  EGLE is also operating cash flow positive for over a year now, which also is nice to see.  

Two other factors pushed me to this stock over others (My second highest candidate was Vestas - just because I love owning wind power, and I thought a bit about Genco shipping).

It looks to me like EGLE is poised to be having earnings of nearly $0.80-1.00 a year at this time.  That would correspond to a share price of at least $8.00/share from todays $4.50 a share at a conservative PE of 8.

Additionally many news outlets have been reporting that the wheat embargo of Russia has likely positive effects on small shippers like EGLE.  So, there is a nice catalyst.

There's a lot of stocks on sale with big dividends so why not choose some of them.  I've been loading up on them since fixed income isn't paying much at the moment. 

Go to msn money and do a stock search with the largest dividends in the S & P 500 to get your feet wet.  Also on here there's a lot of articles on them.  One example I bought was BMO but there's many others.

Hotnovass:

 I'm just not that into dividend stocks.  I see too many companies that I think are grossly mispriced to want to invest for dividends at this point.  I'd rather look for mispriced equities right now.

Porte:

 I was going to try to read AIXG's annual report, but its all in German.  I've found the google translator for German quite funny as well - it doesn't seem to do the differences in grammar well.

I don't like single digit stocks since it's like dumpster diving... there's plenty of low hanging fruit around to choose from instead.  Take MTW for example, the insiders dumped it but they aren't buying.  My philosophy is if a stock is really cheap, insiders should put their money where their mouth is.  Ronald Burkle a billionaire thought BKS was cheap at $20 and poured 110 million dollars into it... he got pretty beat up and now is trying to take the company over.  So sometimes stocks are cheap for a reason.

#38 The chartists will of course tell you about some "head and shoulders" formation in the upper chart. Or show you some "wave count" and tell you that the chart looks "really ugly". Or some other nonsense, hehe ...

BION:SW is trading at a large discount to NAV currently. And the discount is currently larger than it "usually is". And most of the NAV is in listed securities. See comments #95-97 and 111 here. I think BION:SW is a great way to getting some biopharma exposure in a rather diversified (and "deeply discounted") way.
