Top 5 Performing Stocks To Buy For 2019

Leave a reply

Several analysts are becoming more optimistic about future market share gains for Advanced Micro Devices.

Jefferies raised its price target to $30 from $22 for AMD shares, citing the chipmaker’s technological advantage over Intel. The firm also reiterated its buy rating on the company.

Analyst Mark Lipacis said in a note to clients on Monday that he sees the possibility that by the second half of next year, AMD will have a chip with higher transistor density than Intel for the first time in recent history. “We see this as a foundational shift in competitive dynamics. Meanwhile, our checks also suggest that AMD continues to take share in high-end notebooks,” he wrote.

AMD shares rose 7.3 percent Tuesday.

The chipmaker’s stock is significantly outperforming the market this year. Its shares are up 144.8 percent year to date through Friday versus the S&P 500’s 8.5 percent gain. AMD is the top-performing stock in the S&P 500 this year.

    The company is an unmitigated disaster and has been for decades because it missed the transition to digital photography despite the fact that it created much of the technology driving it today.

    At the beginning of 2018, shares of Eastman Kodak (NYSE:KODK) surged from $3 to over $13 on news released at the Consumer Electronics Show that the company was working on its own cryptocurrency: KODAKCoin.

Ted Turner is battling Lewy body dementia, the CNN founder revealed in an interview that will air over the weekend. Turner told veteran newsman Ted Koppel that he has “a mild case of what people have as Alzheimer’s.”

“It’s similar to that. But not nearly as bad. Alzheimer’s is fatal,” Turner said in an interview for “CBS Sunday Morning.” “Thank goodness I don’t have that. But, I also have got, let’s — the one that’s — I can’t remember the name of it.”

He then paused, according to the press release from CBS, before saying, “Dementia. I can’t remember what my disease is.”

Koppel conducted the interview, which will air this Sunday, at Turner’s ranch in Montana. Turner said he feels “tired” and “exhausted” as a result of disorder. “That’s the main symptoms, and, forgetfulness,” he said.

A true broadcasting pioneer, he led Turner Broadcasting System before launching CNN in 1980, ushering in a new era and laying the foundation for other cable news networks. In 1996, he sold CNN as well as the rest of Turner Broadcasting, to Time Warner. But his connection to the company faded in the years that followed, as he turned critical of Time Warner’s doomed merger with AOL.

Perhaps it is because trading stocks can often mirror the thrill of winning big at the blackjack tables, or maybe it is because Las Vegas conjures images of the world’s most flashy brands and businessmen. Regardless of the reason, it is clear that gambling stocks are always among the most popular on Wall Street.

Luckily for investors, now is also an interesting time to be buying gambling stocks, as continued Vegas strength, legalized sports gambling coming to the U.S., and an overall international interest in gaming has created some interesting buying opportunity.

Of course, no industries are without risk, and recently, some casino giants have been selling off as gambling data has hinted at a potential slowdown in Macau after an extended recovery in the world’s top gaming hotspot.

A recent ruling by the Supreme Court may allow states to create laws for legalized sports betting.

Source: Shutterstock

The decision from the court has to do with a law that New Jersey was seeking to pass in 2014. This law would remove the prohibitions around running sports gambling at casinos and race tracks.

The law was struck down in courts, but New Jersey continued to file appeals. Finally in 2017, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. The result of the decision is seven of nine justices ruling in its favor. This had the court striking down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act enacted in 1992 to protect the integrity of sports.

The result of this ruling from the Supreme Court means that New Jersey can move forward with its law. However, it also does more. It opens the door for other states to push for legalized sports betting. Prior to this, Nevada was the only state that allowed sports betting.
