Adding To “Undervalued & Unloved” Stocks
This month we added three new stocks from Jim Floyd’s “Undervalued & Unloved” screening work, boosting our current commitment to value stocks to 16% of portfolio assets. We now believe Value's downtrend has reversed and this view seems to be confirmed by the relative strength line.
Bond Market Summary
In July, the bond market gained back about what it had lost in June. After a quick sell off following Independence Day, prices moved erratically higher for the remainder of the month.
Inside the S&P 500, 400 and the DJIA
From time to time, there are client inquiries concerning the foundations of The Leuthold Group’s fundamental intrinsic value judgements, relating to the S&P 500, 400 and the Dow Jones Industrials. Here is a current data summary regarding these three stock market indices.
Joke of the Month
This month the winner is Jesse Cherrier, a second grader at Alice Smith Elementary School in Hopkins, Minnesota.
