Best Heal Care Stocks To Own For 2019

The transition from career life to retirement can be awfully bumpy. Before you decide to proceed with such a major life change, it’s a good idea to ask yourself certain questions to confirm that you’re ready to leave the working world.

Will I have enough income to support myself?

You may be psychologically ready for retirement, but if you’re not financially ready, you’ll have a pretty miserable retired life. Before taking the final leap, review your retirement savings accounts, your Social Security statement, and any other sources of retirement income you have lined up. Add up your annual sources of income to see how much you’ll have coming in each year (for retirement savings accounts, assume you’ll be taking 3% to 3 1/2% per year), then compare the resulting total to your current income. If your projected retirement income is significantly lower, ask yourself if you can really get by on that much money without being miserable. If you’re not sure whether your projected income is sufficient, use a retirement calculator to add up your likely expenses and compare that number to your projected retirement income.

Here’s some timely news for Independence Day: According to the 2017 State of Independence in America survey recently released by MBO Partners (a business operating system provider for independent workers), a fifth of the nation’s 40.9 million freelance workers earned over $100,000 last year, up from just 12.5% in 2011.

Thanks to the robust job market, gig economy workers are increasingly able to compete on their own terms and charge more for their services. Last year, MBO says, full-time independents averaged $65,300. Notably, older workers (those 53 and above), who tend to be more experienced, fared better than average — reporting a median income of $77,000.

The Gig Economy Workforce Is Growing

The number of independents (freelancers, consultants, temps and on-call workers) is rapidly growing and now constitutes an estimated 31% of the private workforce, up about three percentage points from 2016. Full-time independent workers age 53+ rose from 33% to 35%. And the number of people MBO calls Occasional Independents — those working irregularly or sporadically as independents, but at least once a month — soared by 23% over the past year, to 12.9 million.

They say that there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. While you can’t cheat death and better not cheat on your taxes, you can at least avoid paying Uncle Sam taxes on any gains earned from investments held in a Roth IRA. That’s why we think that the best stocks to own in a Roth are ones that will likely have generated substantial gains by the time you retire.

Three that we think fit that bill are Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Paycom Software (NYSE:PAYC), and Medical Properties Trust (NYSE:MPW).

Reducing HR headaches and generating profits

Daniel Miller (Paycom Solutions): Roth IRAs have become wildly popular in recent years, and it’s pretty easy to understand why. The big selling point for a Roth IRA is that money contributed can grow completely tax-free for life. That means investors should focus on companies that can grow and compound over decades; when you withdraw the money in retirement, you won’t pay a dime on those earnings.

technical analysis of stocks: Finisar Corporation(FNSR)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Leo Sun]

    Shares of fiber optic components maker Finisar (NASDAQ:FNSR) fell 17% in April due to a big third-quarter miss in mid-March. Its revenue rose 23% annually to $380.6 million, but that missed expectations by $9 million. Earnings rose136% to $0.59 per share, but that also missed estimates by three cents. Finisar’s top and bottom line guidance for the fourth quarter (16% sales growth and 83% earnings growth at the midpoints) also came in below Wall Street estimates.

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    Friday was a good day on Wall Street, as the stock market responded favorably to encouraging news on the employment front. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped on fairly strong job creation during the month of February, and that helped push the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite to modest gains of roughly between a quarter percent and a half percent. Yet even with a positive mood among market participants, some stocks weren’t able to participate in the end-of-week rally. Finisar (NASDAQ:FNSR), Zumiez (NASDAQ:ZUMZ), and Winnebago Industries (NYSE:WGO) were among the worst performers on the day. Below, we’ll look more closely at these stocks to tell you why they did so poorly.

technical analysis of stocks: EQT Corporation(EQT)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By elliottwave]

    EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) failed to make new highs and it’s now doing a double three correction from June 2016 peak which already reached the extreme area at $85.17 with enough number of swings to end that cycle. However in the short term, the stock can still extend toward the equal legs area $50.67 from December 2016 peak before buyers show up to resume the rally or bounce in 3 waves at least while holding above $47.10 low

    Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) is still correcting an older cycle from August 2015 doing a flat structure from July 2016 peak and currently at the last leg of wave (C) that could ideally reach the equal legs area $79.88 – $76.72 before the stock start bouncing in 3 waves at least. The flat structure is tricky because it can always extend but XOM needs to hold above $66.55 to continue its multi-year bullish trend.

The stock market kept performing well on Monday, and the Dow Jones Industrials posted its 12th straight all-time record high. Market sentiment was sunny following the release of Warren Buffett’s annual shareholder letter over the weekend, and the Oracle of Omaha made positive comments about the sustainability of the current bull market, which was able to overcome early declines in the major market benchmarks. However, some stocks didn’t fare as well as the overall market, and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), AmTrust Financial Services (NASDAQ:AFSI), and Horizon Pharma (NASDAQ:HZNP) were among the worst performers on the day. Below, we’ll look more closely at these stocks to tell you why they did so poorly.

Tesla gets a poor review

Shares of Tesla fell 4% after the electric car manufacturer received a downgrade from analysts at Goldman Sachs. The Wall Street giant cut its rating on Tesla from neutral to sell, citing concerns about the company’s ability to launch its Model 3 mass-market sedan, execute on the strategy behind its acquisition of solar specialist SolarCity, and deal with the need to tap the capital markets to raise cash. Yet even the bearish analysts admit that Tesla has a competitive advantage over rival automakers with respect to the technology and architecture of its electric vehicles, and Tesla’s efforts to boost battery production appear to be working. Nevertheless, the question facing investors is whether Tesla can execute well on the huge opportunity it has in front of it, and at least in Goldman’s eyes, that could prove more difficult than initially thought.

Total revenue efficiency came in at 100.3%, as it was boosted by bonus incentives and possibly effective results from the new contracting model, particularly in the high-spec jackup market.

We note, our adjusted revenue excludes $169 million in early termination fees during the quarter.
