February finished fast and it is time to choose new stocks to buy for the next month. If you purchased my stocks at the beginning of February, your portfolio would be 4.58% up today.
It could have been better but the stocks, mainly the energy stocks, fell down during the second half of the month. You can review my February selection in this post.
In the middle of February I created a portfolio out of my stocks selection in Motif Investing and called it “Undervalued Stocks”. Unfortunately I created the motif when stocks were high, so the motif is now losing.
Today, I rebalanced the Undervalued Stocks motif removing stocks which no longer meet the criteria, added new stocks, and rebalanced portfolio allocation to equal weight.
The removed stocks should bring in 3.15% gain if they sell on Monday for today’s prices or better.
And here is a new selection for March which will be also used in the motif:
As oil rebounds this year (and it will) many of these stocks will have a great time.
You can buy this motif if you want if you open an account with Motif Investing. Then you can buy the entire portfolio the same way as a mutual fund – you buy all positions at once with minimum $250 investment. You will be buying fractional shares if you do not have large amount of money.
Thus this is a great investment for small investors
I purchased this motif myself to show confidents in my stock selection. You can open your account too and if you start investing, you will receive a $150 bonus from Motif Investing.
I will be rebalancing this motif every month. Let’s see, how well this portfolio will do at the end of the year.
Good luck to all of you!

Quite a long list of potential names to consider in March. I see energy is still making the grade and there are rumblings among the talking heads that we have already seen the low in oil. Of course, who really knows and only time will tell. One year ago no one could have dreamed that oil will be where it is today. Thanks for sharing your considerations.
Yes, energy stocks are now those bleeding out as oil is heading down. It is scary to be buying them, but I bet they will survive and go up big once this oil mess is over.
Thanks for stopping by!
