In a envirenment of reducing interest rates,companies doing bond trading is benifited.
CFVF and ESL are the listed companies doing this business.
I took 364 days T bills as a indicator of the movement of interest rates.
This is how it appears,
Column1 | EPS | T-Bills 364 days | CFVFclosed price |
Sep-11 | 0.57 | 7.31 | 18.5 |
Dec-11 | -2.12 | 9.31 | 16.1 |
Mar-12 | -0.72 | 11.32 | 11 |
Jun-12 | 0.34 | 12.88 | 10 |
Sep-12 | 0.72 | 13.02 | 15 |
Dec-12 | 0.79 | 11.69 | 12 |
Mar-13 | 2.61 | 11.35 | 11.2 |
Jun-13 | 0.61 | 10.66 | 18.7 |
Sep-13 | 0.28 | 10.57 | 14.8 |
Dec-13 | 1.57 | 8.29 | 17.5 |
Mar-14 | 0.71 | 7.05 | 19.3 |
Jun-14 | 2.07 | 6.99 | 20.3 |
Falling interest rates have increased the profitability of cfvf,when t-bills falling the share price is getting up.During september 2014 interest rates further declined,so we can expect very healthy EPS for sep quarter.
Let's look at the dividend paid by the CFVF,
EPS Dividend
09/10 6.38 5
10/11 9.23 0
11/12 -1.69 2
12/13 4.57 0
13/14 3.13 4
For 14/15 EPS will be 12-15,
So what would be the Dividend then
Now have a look on a technical aspect,
On daily charts price moved above 161.8% of fib level which is 43, with a good volume support.
MACD and ADX also showing a strong trend.
Weekly and Monthly charts also looking good.
According to Fib levels next target would be 66,which is 261.8% of fib retracement.
This is my view,I may be biased as I'm holding some
