Getting back on track with my screens at the beginning of the month. Change things up this month as usual. I feel its important to change the screen slightly or you'll keep getting the same ones and not many new ones
Dividend Score: Yield, 5 year dividend growth rate, and Payout Ratio
Fundamental Score: P/E, Graham Valuation, and the % below the 200 day simple moving average (SMA)
My thought is this time around I'd see if I couldn't buy something on a nice pullback.

New companies for possible review...
HMN: Horace Mann Educators Corp: Thought it would be something with education but its a holding company for insurance companies. I'm long AFL and AFSI, I need another like I need another goldbug telling me the stock market is going to crash.

BOKF: BOK Financial Corp: A holding company of small regional banks covering 8 states. Fastgraph's is showing they are down EPS for the past two years and they are now at fairvalue. Think this one falls under the too late category.
MNRK: Monarch FInancial Holdings: A regional bank of Virginia. I didn't recognize them so wanted to take a peak. Not sure what happened in 2013 share price wise but I want none of that.
BHB: Bar Harbor Bankshares: A holding company of banks. Fastgraphs shows that the share price really hugs the historic P/E of 7.6 which its at now. This really doesn't increase in share price and a 5% dividend growth rate and 5% EPS growth rate means thats all I will get. I want my potential to be more than that.
ORI: Old Republic International: An insurance holding company. This is one of the scariest Fastgraph's I have seen. Overvalued, dropping EPS currently, and it goes to 0 EPS for 4 straight years.
FRS: Frisch's Restaurants: A restaurant chain of "Frisch's Big Boy". About 110 or so locations. They had a huge dividend in 2012 but nothing really gets me excited about this one.
TBNK: Territorial Bancorp Inc: A holding company for a Hawaii regional bank. What is it with holding companies this month? Its share price has dropped this year on expected lower EPS. I want a pullback with increased EPS as safety I don't want to gamble on something silly happening to go against bad fundamentals.
This month's research screen winner...
CVX: Chevron: So almost every month this comes up and I write it off because I already own COP. But I have a 60% total return with COP. Seeing as how COP currently has a -1, its time I look to rotate out. Usually my pick of the month looks really good or is some exotic off the wall stock I have never heard of. CVX is probably about as big a company as I am going to find on my monthly screen. I'm concerned that its above its historic P/E level but its not dangerously high. I will research them to keep as a backup.
I have a stop loss order with COP to exit when it goes against me. It's really taken off and its dividend yield is now equal to CVX while giving up a lot of fundamental safety in the price.
For you capital gains investors who like to buy on the dips, here are the companies that are 5% or more below their 200 day SMA

Thanks for sharing this ranking method with us. I also like CVX and it has been on my watch list for some time now. I know it has a decent value especially in these high markets and an excellent dividend history. I think I might wait it out a bit before entering that one.
