HAST – Hasting Entertainment BUY 80-20 Portfolio
Posted on | April 19, 2010 | No Comments
On April 7th I purchased 110 shares of Hasting Entertainment – HAST for $4.51/share including the $4.50 commission from Zecco the total comes to a total investment $500.60. This was for the 80-20 Portfolio. I know, I am late in posting about it. But I had to lay out what the criteria were before I told you about purchases otherwise a buy like this will not make sense. I will lay out the 80-20 purchases in a different manner than the Small Investor Portfolio. There will be no risk section. The risk is that the mechanical investing strategy I have set up will not work, or that I have not enacted the proper strategy to capitalize on all the research. This is a serious risk. There are no stories. I have purposely not looked at anything other than the financial information on this company. I am trying hard NOT to think about this investment. If you have not read my post about the Investing strategy for the 80-20 portfolio it might help to understand what I am doing.
I do not recommend purchasing this stock anymore, since it has appreciated so much in the past two weeks. In fact it has come very close to my selling point. I did not get my order filled or I would have sold it today.
Here is why I purchased this stock
1. Piotroski F-score of 9 (out of a possible 9)
2. Net Current Asset Value of approximately $4.54/share (so, price was just under Net Current Asset Value.
3. Negative Asset Growth.
4. Altman Z score for non-Manufacturing companies 3.77
5. Price to Book .59
Strategy: Put in a limit order when it crosses 50% gain again, which it did earlier today, but my sell order did not get filled.
Disclosure: As of this posting I own 110 shares of HAST. I do not recommending buying them right now.
