Top High Tech Stocks To Invest In Right Now


Wall Street analysts say this indicator tells when the next stock market crash is coming…

Marko Kolanovic, a quantitative analyst at JPMorgan, told CNBC on July 27 that low volatility could be a sign of a coming downturn in stocks. Wall Street’s fear gauge, the VIX, was at 10.11 on July 27, more than 20% below its historical average.

Because low volatility is unlikely to last forever, it could mean a market correction, or even a market crash, is coming next.

While we aren’t making a stock market crash prediction, investors are always wise to prepare for the worst. And there are some other market crash warning signs to pay attention to…

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Robert Rapier] While the MLP space is dominated by the oil and gas sector, in last week’s article we began to explore some of the more exotic master limited partnership offerings. This week we continue our exploration of nontraditional MLPs by looking at the partnerships supplying fertilizer.

    Rentech (Nasdaq: RTK) has been around for more than a decade, and it has shifted strategies several times. Full disclosure: Rentech’s Chief Technology Officer Harold Wright is a former manager of mine when we were both at ConocoPhillips, and I have visited Rentech’s facility in Commerce City, Colorado.

In November 2011, Rentech spun off this fertilizer business into an MLP called Rentech Nitrogen Partners LP (NYSE: RNF).

Advisors’ Opinion:

    Analysts at Jefferies initiated coverage on business process services provider Maximus Inc. (MMS) late on Thursday, giving the stock a bullish rating because it has several competitive advantages and should benefit from the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
