Hot Stocks To Watch Right Now


Should I sell my Bitcoin now that the price has doubled in just one year?

A lot of Bitcoin owners no doubt have been asking themselves that question of late, given the rapid rise in the Bitcoin price since early December.

In the past four weeks the price of Bitcoin rocketed 48%, from $775 to $1,150, until pulling back yesterday (Thursday) into the $950 range. Today (Friday) the digital currency has slipped further to about $900. But the Bitcoin price is still 16% higher than it was Dec. 1, and more than double the price on Jan. 1, 2016.

Returns like that typically have investors thinking it may be time for some profit-taking. After all, how often does an investment double in one year?

Those who bought at much lower prices – the digital currency traded below $300 through most of 2015 and below $500 through the first five months of 2016 – may also be tempted to sell their Bitcoin now.

Hot Stocks To Watch Right Now: Diana Shipping inc.(DSX)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Shane Hupp]

    Diana Shipping (NYSE: DSX) and Frontline (NYSE:FRO) are both small-cap transportation companies, but which is the superior investment? We will contrast the two businesses based on the strength of their profitability, risk, institutional ownership, valuation, dividends, earnings and analyst recommendations.

  • [By Maxx Chatsko]

    That helps to explain why shares of Seaspan Corporation (NYSE:SSW) and Diana Shipping (NYSE:DSX) are up 36% and 28%, respectively, since the beginning of April. Both performances easily beat the 5% return of the S&P 500 in that span. However, even the healthy gains made recently don’t come close to erasing the losses accumulated in recent years, as both shipping leaders are down over 34% in the last three-year period.
