Strategic Comment
GMA is in a Satisfactory Financial Health position (GR1), but fails our management assessment criteria (GR2). While the company's dividend yield is currently well above the broader market we are concerned around the sustainability of this yield and risks generally in the lenders mortgage insurance industry. As such GMA cannot be considered a Star Income Stock.
Firstly, I apologize for not having replied sooner to thank you for your kind reply. However, given that I have never been a user of Stockdoctor (I don't know what the parameters are of their methodology) all I know is that they are very successful in sorting out the wheat from the chaff.
Secondly, I presume - reading between the lines - that although GMA isn't a Star Income Stock, it isn't a bad stock either and isn't one to necessarily avoid presently? or am I mistaken?
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks once again.
Regards
PB
They use a number of parameters, but basically GMA comes under the financial model;
Market cap above 200 mil
ROE; above 14%
EPS; above 14%
There are a few more parameters but they are some of the main ones. Currently these are not met by GMA
We all have our own way in analysing stocks and then taking a position.
I personally like to use a combination of Fundamentals and then enter and exit based on the Technical signals if it is to become a medium term holding.
If I am trading I do not put to much on the fundamentals as I am just speculating on the price movement
When I take a look at a GMA fundamentals I need to see if the EPS is growing going forward and in the case of GMA this is not the case at this point in time so do not see the price going up any time soon if you were looking at a medium time frame holding.
I will also add that even if the fundamentals look really good using stock doctor I never take a position unless the chart backs up the fundamentals.
A good example here currently is BKL....it is one of their star growth stocks, undervalued by around 26% to its fair value but the stock has been moving in the wrong direction.
Once the market begins to support it again then I may take a position for its current value and growth potential but not yet.
I think that because a dividend is coming up in 59 days and forecast to pay 15.36% and 100% franked is one reason we are seeing interest in the stock at the moment.
So people need to start getting in for the 45 day rule.
Once this passes I think we will see the stock move back down in price.
GMA triggered a technical buy (For my analysis) today.
It didn't trigger yesterday so the setup for position sizing and risk
can be a little different to that which I suggested.
The suggested setup would be considered conservative.
Using a few ticks below yesterdays low as the stop point would be
considered more aggressive.
Ill post a chart to clarify tonight.
For all of those who are un interested.
Technical view
View attachment 67160
Currently $2.44 looks remote but that maybe different
in a few weeks. Will be dependant on forward trading.
My more aggressive trade would be closed now.
Time can be the Fundamentalists best friend or worst enemy. Only time will tell. Fundamentalists might live longer lives.Railman's silence indicates a result worse than he would have liked.
This will get him back!

I don't know if the stock price will finish above $2.44 in a year---nor do you.
But Ill bet I don't lose as much and or make more money out of the trade than you do.
That---is my bet.---I can do that by taking a trade today!!!---yeh yeh you can average down.
Come on lets do it.
Name your price.(Bet).
Ok I'll play
$1000
it's lower than $2.44 in 12 mths.
If I lose Joe gets a grand.
If you lose you send Joe a grand.
Done?
Done.
Technically A buy above today’s high with a stop at $2.52 is a lower risk opportunity
