Top Gold Stocks For 2018


It looked really bad.

Last year, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) upgraded shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to a buy rating, mere hours before the electric-car maker announced its 2016 secondary offering in May. Goldman was one of the lead book runners in the deal, and exercised all of its underwriter options to max out the secondary offering.

The timing looked awfully suspicious on Goldman’s part. Goldman’s upgrade pushed shares higher, benefiting the offering’s pricing and translating into Goldman collecting more; the underwriting discount was $1.78 per share and all underwriters in that deal collectively earned about $19 million thanks to the full exercise of underwriter options, according to the prospectus.

At the time, Goldman told MarketWatch, “Our research is independent. We followed all of our standard policies and procedures with respect to our research publication on Wednesday.” The timing of the two announcements was ultimately probably a coincidence, but the optics could not have been worse.

Top Gold Stocks For 2018: FORM Holdings (FH)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew Briar]

    Looking for a quick, money-making trading idea? Put FORM Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:FH) on your watchlist, if not yet in your portfolio. FH shares are knocking on the door of a breakout move, and one more nudge could do the trick.

    There are a couple of factors in play here. One of the is the converging wedge pattern that’s developed after the October-December finally stabilized. The upper boundary of that wedge at $2.40 has been tested several times since late last year, but FORM Holdings could never get past the hurdle. At the same time, several key moving average lines seem to be acting as support — even if unevenly — keeping FH positioned well for a breakout effort.
