Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    Asset management companies like Oaktree Capital Group (NYSE:OAK) have to deal with market volatility in two very different ways. On one hand, they have to produce the exceptional returns that keep them ahead of their peers even when conditions make it difficult. Yet even when they are able to outperform, asset managers also have to address the fears of their clients, many of whom start to flee in down markets even when their funds are holding up quite well.

Best Bank Stocks To Watch Right Now

Leave a reply

A government shutdown was averted last Friday when President Trump signed a $1.3 trillion, 2,232-page omnibus bill. The deadline was midnight Friday and the bill came out late Wednesday.

No one really had the time to go through it, and thats on purpose.

The fact that no one really knew what was in it — besides the drafting committees and the lobbyists who crammed it full of pork — speaks volumes about how the peoples business is conducted in our democracy.

Theoretically, we still live in a republic, but the question is: Who exactly represents whom in Washington?

But lets consider the driving force behind todays rigged economy and rigged markets — the Federal Reserve.

One of the main reasons central banks have cited their historically cheap money policy is that making money cheap means that banks will lend it out to the main economy. The belief was that it would eventually stimulate Main Street.

But it just hasnt happened. The gains have all gone to Wall Street.

Best Bank Stocks To Watch Right Now: Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (LTEA)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Garrett Baldwin]

    William may be right about a sell-off in stocks… in the cryptocurrency space. Over the last week, companies that have billed themselves as blockchain-focused saw their stocks surge. One firm – Long Island Iced Tea changed its name to Long Island Blockchain and watched its stock surge more than triple digits. But today, firms with this exposure are cratering. MGT Capital Investments Inc. (OTCMKTS: MGTI), Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (Nasdaq: LTEA), Riot Blockchain Inc. (Nasdaq: RIOT), and Siebert Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: SIEB) all fell by more than 12% Friday.

Top Value Stocks To Watch For 2018

Leave a reply

A good way to find new stock ideas is to scroll through the Zacks Industry Rank page. From this page you can see the breakdown of 252 different industries and then drill down to the stocks in each industry.

This can help you locate industries that are trading more along the lines of value stocks (those with low forward PE and low book values) and those that have higher earnings growth rates.

One page in particular, the heat map, shows which industries have been moving up the rank over the last few weeks. That led me to the Building Products – Concrete and Aggregates group.

Moving Up The Charts

On April 15, the building products – concrete and aggregates – was #182, but over the next few weeks, the rank improved to #166, #105, #87 and last week made it to #15 where it remains for another week.

So what are the best stocks from this strong group and will they remain this strong?

There are three stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and two stocks that have a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can view the list here (here).

Advisors’ Opinion:

    First Harvest Corp (OTC: HVST), acquired Cannavoices, Inc., a developer of cannabis-focused mobile games and social media platforms.

    "A trend we've seen developing slowly but steadily [is one] wherenew channels are being developed to reach cannabis consumers, primarily due to limits in advertising. There is so much regulation in the space that, in such an entrepreneurial environment where there are really no incumbent leaders, people are trying to be creative and figuring out ways to reach the cannabis consumer, both as an undeserved demographic and, just one that has still got that taboo around it, [leading] to larger players not necessarily getting involved yet." "Basically, they are trying to figure out ways to reach the consumer without direct TV advertising and stuff like that.”

On Tuesday, our Under the Radar Moversnewsletter suggested going long on small cap bioprocessing stock Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ: RGEN):

As for Repligen, this one’s a bit more speculative than usual; we’re betting the long-term shape of the chart takes hold, and benefits us in the short run.

You have to take a big step back to see it, but it’s there – there’s a converging wedge taking shape, and the bulls are winning the war so far. There’s a horizontal ceiling at $33.84 that needs to be cleared, but with a string of higher lows in tow, this third effort on that resistance could be the one to punch through. There’s also a cup-and-handle-ish thing going on here.

Why climate change researchers are freaking out When Donald Trump was elected, most people probably weren’t concerned about the future of data. But for some groups, that was top of mind.

Data Refuge was founded after the election, with a goal of tracking and safeguarding government data.

The volunteer group of hackers, writers, scientists and students collects federal data about climate change in order to preserve the information and keep it publicly accessible.

“When things like science are politicized, scientific information will be less accessible,” said Dr. Bethany Wiggin, co-director of Data Refuge. “If you can keep knowledge out of the hands of your political opponents, that’s an effective win.”
