Top 10 High Tech Stocks To Own For 2019

Leave a reply

It’s not just the volatile price of bitcoin that can keep cryptocurrency investors up at night.

Hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of digital currencies have been stolen by hackers in recent months. Experts say the problem is unlikely to go away anytime soon, and fears about security have hit prices this year.

In the latest incident, South Korean exchange Coinrail announced Monday that it had been targeted by cyberthieves, who stole about 30% of its virtual currencies.

“I expect hackers to continue to target crypto exchanges,” said Henri Arslanian, the head of financial technology in Asia at consultancy PwC. “The rewards are high, and some of these exchanges grew so fast” that they haven’t yet implemented proper security, he added.

In January, Japanese exchange Coincheck said hackers stole more than $500 million worth of cryptocurrency. Last year, two bitcoin exchanges went bankrupt after falling victim to similar breaches.

    Companies that get a bad reputation from consumers often do so because they don’t have to make their experience better to keep customers. Great examples of this are a cable company that operates as a monopoly in many areas, like Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA), or a bank you just can’t get away from, like Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Or even a company with all kinds of data about you that doesn’t seem to manage that data carefully, like Equifax Inc. (NYSE:EFX).

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.

Top 10 Performing Stocks For 2018

Despite a tiny share price gain last week, Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) remains the best performing stock for the year to date among the 30 equities that comprise the Dow Jones industrial average. Boeing ended the week with a share price gain of about 0.2% and a year-to-date gain of 20.9%.

The second-best performer among the Dow 30 so far this year is Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), up about 14.9%. That is followed by Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), up about 10%; JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), up about 9.7%; and Nike Inc. (NYSE: NKE), up about 9%. Just over half the Dow stocks (17) have posted year-to-date gains as of Friday.

The Dow added about 90 points over the course of the past week and closed the week at 25,309.99, a gain of about 0.3%.

Boeing’s big news for the week came on Wednesday. Reports indicated that U.S. carrier Hawaiian Airlines had canceled an order for six Airbus A330-800s and would be placing an order for an unspecified number of Boeing 787-9s. The canceled Airbus planes were the last six on Airbus’s order book and that made them easier for Hawaiian to shun. No one wants to buy the last of something that has a lifespan of 25 or more years.

Top 10 Performing Stocks For 2018: Haier Electronics Group Co., Ltd. (HRELF)

Advisors’ Opinion:

    The main business units of the Hong Leong Asia are the Diesel Engines Unit – China Yuchai , the Consumer Products Unit – Henan Xinfei (now marketed as “Frestec”), and the Building Materials Unit – BMU. The other business units in the company are the Industrial Packaging Unit – Rex and the Air-conditioning Systems Unit – Airwell. As the majority of the business units namely Yuchai, Xinfei and Airwell, operate in China (more than 80% of total revenue), the continual slowdown of the economic growth in China coupled with increasing competition has adversely affected both the revenue and the profitability. Particularly for the consumer products unit, its small scale has severely impacted its competitiveness given aggressive larger players like Haier (OTCPK:HRELF), Midea, Feilong Electric, and Hefei Meiling.
