The market closed this week down 101.64 points (roughly 1%). The big picture is not looking good. My watch list rose from 6 to 12 companies this week. That is more than double. For a second consecutive week, I do not have any company that is within 10% of the yearly low.

Although the market appear to be "topping out", I bought a stock that I sold earlier in the year, Altria Group (MO) at a yield of 7.5%. I placed Altria as my wild card company on the watch list because the company isn't trading near its low but after increasing the dividend by 6% plus a strong fundamental, I had to buy some for my family. If Altria falls to 52 weeks low, it would yield an amazing 9.5% and the company is known to have a ridiculous payout ratio of 90%+. Enough about that, here are the companies on my watch list as of September 4, 2009.

The market showed sign of weakness this week. After the Dow opened at 9,541.63, it managed to gain only 2.57 points ending the week at 9,544.20. My watch list shrank from 7 to 6 companies this week. For the first time, I do not have any company that is within 10% of the yearly low. My advice is to hold or begin taking some profit and wait for a better opportunity. Here are the companies on my watch list as of August 28, 2009.
Note: You may notice that I do not have any financial institutions on my watch list. That is because I feel that the financial sector is weak. There are many regional financial institutions on my list but I omitted them due to risk factor.

This was a volatile week for those who follow the market. We had a wild swing in the Dow which jumped from below 9,250 to above 9,400. At the end of the week, we are down 47 points. My watch list rose from 10 to 13 companies. Although the bottom three are marginally above 20%, they are great blue chip names that I can't leave them out. Here are the companies on my watch list as of August 14, 2009.

The companies that are within 10% of the low offer a great opportunity.
