Every year I take a few attributes which may indicate a company is undervalued and run the screen multiple times a year buying very small lots weekly/monthly of those companies. This is the fifth iteration for 2022.

Before I even ran the screen I knew that I would only end up buying companies I have a position in and this has more to do with what is going on with the account rather than the market. Specifically, I was assigned 100 shares of MMM @ $133 and as of this post it is currently trading at about $122. My plan is to continue to sell covered calls against it until they are assigned back at or near $133. Since I have about $13,300 of capital tied up with MMM, and purchases are going to be significantly smaller for the foreseeable future. As such, it is easier just to add tiny bits to established positions.

Nonetheless I ran the same screen I have for all of 2022.
