Trading Range Screen for the 30 Largest US Stocks (Bespoke)

Friday, April 27th, 2012

 

by Bespoke Investment Group

The S&P 500 has now bounced 3.05% from its April closing low on the 10th.  The index now needs to gain 1.48% to take out its bull market closing high of 1,419.04.  Below is an update of our trading range screen for the 30 largest stocks in the S&P 500.  The dots indicate where the stock is currently trading, while the end of the tail shows where the stock was trading one week ago.  A green dot means the stock has moved higher within its trading range over the last week, while a red dot means the stock has moved lower.

For each stock, the neutral (N) zone represents between one standard deviation above and below its 50-day moving average.  The light red shading represents between one and two standard deviations above the 50-day, and vice versa for the light green shading.  The dark red shading represents between two and three standard deviations above the 50-day, and vice versa for the dark green shading.  Moves into the red shading are considered overbought, while moves into the green shading are considered oversold.

Just 5 of the stocks shown have moved lower within their trading ranges over the last week, while 25 have moved higher.  Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) have had the biggest moves higher since last Thursday’s close.

At the moment, 8 of the 30 largest S&P 500 stocks are in overbought territory, while 4 are oversold.  Four stocks are in extreme overbought territory — AT&T (T), Pfizer (PFE), Coca-Cola (KO) and Verizon (VZ).  The 4 oversold stocks are Wal-Mart (WMT) — which was overbought last week, Cisco (CSCO), McDonald’s (MCD) and ConocoPhillips (COP).

Looking at year to date performance, the biggest stock in the S&P 500 (and in the world) — Apple (AAPL) — is up the most out of all the stocks listed with a gain of 50.54%.  Bank of America (BAC) ranks a close second with a YTD gain of 49.19%, followed by JP Morgan (JPM), Citigroup (C), Microsoft (MSFT) and Wells Fargo (WFC).  Google (GOOG) has been the biggest loser out of the 30 biggest stocks so far this year with a decline of 4.44%.  McDonald’s (MCD) — which was one of the best performing stocks in 2011 — is down the second most at -4.43%.

Dow 30 Trading Range Screen (Bespoke)

Friday, April 15th, 2011

by Bespoke Investment Group

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is currently outperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in 2011 with a year to date gain of 5.82%.  The S&P 500 is up 4.29% YTD, while the Nasdaq is up just 3.69%.  Below we provide our trading range screen for the Dow’s 30 index members.

For each stock below, the dot on the trading range screen represents where the stock is currently trading within its normal trading range (see the bottom of the table for a description).  The end of the tail shows where the stock was trading within its trading range one week ago.

Last Thursday at this time, 17 stocks in the Dow were in overbought territory, while just one (Intel) was oversold.  As of today, just 6 stocks are in overbought territory, while 6 are oversold as well.  The 6 remaining overbought names are KFT, MCD, KO, PFE, MRK, and T — all relatively non-cyclical in nature.  The 6 oversold names are BAC, DIS, HPQ, INTC, JPM, and MSFT — 2 financials, 3 techs, and 1 consumer discretionary.  Kraft Foods (KFT) is by far the most overbought name in the Dow at the moment, while Intel is the most oversold.

In terms of year to date performance, Cisco (CSCO) is down the most of any stock in the index at -15.76%.  The next closest on the downside is Microsoft (MSFT) at -8.51% YTD.  Caterpillar (CAT) is up the most of any stock in the Dow in 2011 with a gain of 20.28%.  Chevron (CVX) is up the second most with a gain of 18.38%, while Pfizer (PFE), yes Pfizer!, ranks 3rd with a YTD gain of 17.02%.  Interestingly, the other two health care names in the index — JNJ & MRK — are both down year to date.

Dow Member YTD % Change, Dividend Yields, and Trading Ranges

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

This article is a guest contribution from Bespoke Investment Group.

It’s been awhile since we checked up on the year-to-date performance of the 30 Dow members, so below we provide that information along with their overbought/oversold levels and current dividend yields.  Most Dow stocks have moved lower over the past week, and currently there are only four stocks in the index trading in overbought territory — McDonald’s (MCD), Pfizer (PFE), AT&T (T), and Verizon (VZ).  How long has it been since Telecom stocks have been the leaders of any index?  Even after today’s big declines, not too many members of the index are oversold either.  Bank of America (BAC), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Intel (INTC), JP Morgan (JPM), and Merck (MRK) are the only stocks currently with the oversold distinction.  Interestingly, Merck (MRK) is oversold, while Pfizer (PFE) is overbought.

Dividend yields are looking more and more attractive as fixed income yields get lower and lower.  And there’s no shortage of high yielders in the Dow.  The two Telecom stocks (VZ and MRK) — both currently overbought — have the highest dividend yields in the index at more than 6%.  The two pharmaceuticals in the index — MRK and PFE — have the next highest yields at slightly less than 4.5%.  Next comes DuPont (4.04%), Kraft (3.98%), Chevron (3.80%), and then Johnson & Johnson (3.68%).  Don’t look now but Intel (INTC) has one of the higher dividend yields in the Dow as well at 3.33%.  One would never think it, but Intel has a higher yield than names like Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and General Electric.  Go figure.

In terms of performance so far in 2010, perpetual loser Alcoa (AA) is unsurprisingly down the most at -33.87%.  Other big losers are archaic tech names Microsoft (MSFT) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).  Both are down just about 20% year to date.  Boeing (BA) had the top spot on the list for most of 2010, but Caterpillar (CAT) and Chevron (CVX) have both eclipsed BA with gains of more than 20% at this point in the year.  Boeing is still not far behind at +19.38%, however.  McDonald’s is the last name in the index that is up more than 10%, and Kraft (KFT), General Electric (GE), Disney (DIS), and American Express (AXP) are the only other names in positive territory.

Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital: Large S&P500 Puts Position (13F)

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

MarketFolly.com reports, according to 13F filings, David Einhorn’s $6-billion hedge fund Greenlight Capital (no relationship to us) has loaded up on S&P500 (SPY) PUTS, building a 24.25% position, most likely portfolio insurance, betting the market is due for a big blow-off. Previously, Einhorn reportedly built up large positions in gold, both physical and paper. Now it appears he has opted for physical gold because its cheaper to store and is using GLD (SPDR Gold Trust) PUTS as downside insurance on his physical (long-term) gold.

Hedge Fund managers are worth watching because their directional votes (positions) often constitute stringently researched decisions, that are beyond the grasp and willingness of most investors.

Here is an excerpt:

The following were their long equity, note, and options holdings as of June 30th, 2009 as filed with the SEC. We have not detailed the changes to every single position in this update, but we have covered all the major moves. All holdings are common stock unless otherwise denoted.

Some New Positions (Brand new positions that they initiated in the last quarter):
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) Puts
Cardinal Health (CAH)
General Electric (GE) Puts
Transatlantic Holdings (TRH)
ATP Oil & Gas (ATPG) – position is less than 0.45% of their overall portfolio
Endurance Specialty Holdings (ENH) – position is less than 0.30% of their overall portfolio
US Natural Gas Fund (UNG) – position is less than 0.02% of their overall portfolio

Some Increased Positions (A few positions they already owned but added shares to)
Everest Re (RE): Increased position by 598%
IPC Holdings (IPCR): Increased position by 132%
Pfizer (PFE): Increased position by 102%
Wyeth (WYE): Increased position by 100%
Aspen Insurance (AHL): Increased position by 74%

Some Reduced Positions (Some positions they sold some shares of)
MEMC Electronics (WFR): Reduced by 50%
EMC (EMC): Reduced by 44%
Echostar Corporation (SATS): Reduced by 37%
Helix Energy (HLX): Reduced by 34%
Harman International (HAR): Reduced by 31%
URS (URS): Reduced by 28%

Removed Positions (Positions they sold out of completely)
SPDR Gold Trust (GLD)* (there is a big asterisk next to this one, so read our summary below to find out why). Target (TGT), Hess (HES), Commscope (CTV), Dow Chemical (DOW), Conway (CNW), Rohm & Haas (ROH), Discover Financial (DFS), Jones Apparel (JNY), Western Digital (WDC), American Eagle Outfitters (AEO), Patriot Coal (PCX), Cadence Design (CDNS), Williams Sonoma (WSM), JA Solar (JASO), Focus Media (FMCN), Carpenter (CRS), Corning (GLW), Supervalu (SVU), Sunstone Hotel (SHO), Bradywine Realty Trust (BDN)

Top 15 Holdings (by % of portfolio)

  1. SPDR S&P500 (SPY) Puts: 24.25% of portfolio
  2. Pfizer (PFE): 6.32% of portfolio
  3. URS (URS): 5.56% of portfolio
  4. Teradata (TDC): 5.11% of portfolio
  5. Wyeth (WYE): 4.56% of portfolio
  6. Cardinal Health (CAH): 4.27% of portfolio
  7. Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX): 4.25% of portfolio
  8. Allegheny Energy (AYE): 3.75% of portfolio
  9. EMC (EMC): 3.34% of portfolio
  10. Einstein Noah (BAGL): 3.27% of portfolio
  11. Aspen Insurance (AHL): 3.25% of portfolio
  12. Health Management Associates (HMA): 2.49% of portfolio
  13. McDermott (MDR): 2.33% of portfolio
  14. MEMC Electronic (WFR): 2.29% of portfolio
  15. IPC Holdings (IPCR): 1.77% of portfolio

We’ve got a lot of technicalities to cover here so let’s dive right in. Firstly, Einhorn did not get out of gold. Last go-round, we saw Greenlight had amassed a large gold position via the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD). Although GLD no longer is being reported on his 13F filing (they sold out of it), they still own a large gold position. They have started storing physical gold due to cost savings as noted when we looked at Greenlight’s recent investor letter. This is the perfect example of why you can’t blindly follow SEC filings.
