Trading Tips - Three Stocks to Buy for 2020
play

12/31/19 • 7 min

With the end of the year, there are all sorts of predictions about the next. But more important than predictions are specific investment ideas.

There are a few ways to take advantage of the changing calendar and find profitable investments. By focusing on a few key areas and concepts, traders can find specific investments that play to these opportunities.

First, investors can look to buy stocks that have been out of favor with the market. By doing so, investors are taking advantage of the market’s propensity to revert to the mean, where underperforming assets catch up with the rest of the market.

One obvious area for that is in the technology space. Many of these names are still off their all-time highs of a few years back, and have room to push the market higher even as some of 2019’s top winners become laggards.

Another area is in companies that had some specific issues with the operations that held back shares in the past year. There are always some solid companies dealing with some short-term events likely to keep their share price out of favor with the market. But when those fears dissipate, investors will get huge returns as the fear subsides.

Finally, there are areas where instability is brewing. That’s usually the most obvious in the commodity market, where supply and demand imbalances can set up for some sizeable profits in a short amount of time.

By taking advantage of these areas, investors can ensure they make a profit, no matter what the overall market is doing.

One of the best-performing stocks of the 2010’s was Netflix. And, with 2019’s

big push for new streaming services, the competition is heating up.

The most interesting competitor to emerge this year was The Walt Disney

Company (DIS), with its Disney+ streaming service launch.

Taking advantage of its massive library of content spanning nearly a century,

the company could have gotten away with pricing its service at a premium.

But instead, Disney went with one of the most accessible prices on the

market, with a $6.99 monthly fee, well below that of other competitors with

fewer offerings.

And the launch has hit the ground running, with millions of sign-ups, as well

as a handful of hiccups on the first day of launch. But the company got its

tech issues resolved, and it’s also got a solid hit with one of its original

programs,

The Mandolorian, a show that takes place in the Star Wars

universe. While that’s a great development, what does it mean for shares? After all,

the announcement of the new service early in 2019 sent shares soaring. And

the lack of any issues or challenges to the service right away also sent

shares roaring even higher to close out the year.

That’s a potential sign that shares may have peaked. The billions of dollars in

cash flow from monthly subscriptions will help the bottom line. But the media

giant also just had a great year at the box office, smashing records. It won’t

be able to have that kind of lineup anytime in the next few years.

Given that the Disney+ news this year has sent shares to 23 times earnings,

it’s possible that the company may underperform for the next few years—

and investors would be better to wait for a sizeable pullback before looking

to invest.

Trading Tips - The Crown Jewels in the Stock Market Kingdom
play

06/20/19 • 7 min

Companies come and go. The last component of the original Dow Jones Index, General Electric, got booted last year.
But you could have been out of that name for far longer if you had followed a simple rule: Only invest in companies that deliver increasing income to shareholders every year by increasing their dividend.
Following that rule would have gotten you out of a lot of stocks before they really took a dive—and kept you in some of the best wealth-building stocks of all time.
In the end, researching the market for stocks that deliver great returns to investors over time will often come up with these same companies. After all, if they can keep paying more income out to shareholders every year for 15, 20, 25, or even 50 years (if not longer), they’re going to give you capital gains over time as well.
Looking and analyzing these companies, and loading up your portfolio with them, reinvesting the dividends, and waiting out the market is a simple way to build a wealth-generating machine as if by magic. Knowing how to find these stocks unlocks some of the market’s best gems.

One simple way to find excellent investment prospects is to look for a company that’s the equivalent of a toll bridge spanning a river. If someone wants to cross, they have to pay a toll. The alternative may be to go to another point, costing time and distance far in excess of the toll.
These “toll booth” opportunities tend to reward investors disproportionately thanks to this built-in advantage that they have.
Nearly every investment sector can have a toll-bridge opportunity if you know where to look.
As news unfolds about the 5G network, and as companies position themselves with shifting alliances like something out of an episode of Game of Thrones, a toll booth opportunity exists as well.
That opportunity is with cell tower companies. These companies are all structured as REITS, to reflect the fact that they have a physical presence in the real world. Without cell towers and repeaters, the cell phone connectivity that we take for granted simply wouldn’t exist.
While these companies may not pay the high dividends compared to other REITs, they do have much bigger growth opportunities. As the 5G network rolls out, they’ll act as that all-important toll bridge between someone’s cell phone and the network itself. That’s a powerful position, and one that can’t be easily replaced.
This new battleground sector is ripe for profit. But only one area offers the best prospect for consistent, high-margin profits for investors going forward.

Investing is a never-ending marathon, not a sprint. Yet Wall Street traders tend to rely heavily on trading opportunities centering on earnings season. Four times a year, a company reports earnings, as well as their guidance for future quarters. These days can see big swings in a company stock price—making it one of the best times to trade.
But there are other developments the other 89 days of the quarter. And with so much focus on bottom-line earnings, more mundane announcements often don’t cause a rapid price move in shares.
That’s good news—or bad news—for investors, depending on what’s reported. In the category of good news, however, we know a few things that tend to cause stock prices to rise more often than fall.
For instance, a company reporting layoffs tends to see its share price rise. Shrinking the headcount at a company can reduce payroll expenses and increase profitability. While it may sound callous, the market responds to the company’s improvement, not the workers who are worse off.
A company may also avoid earnings season to announce a big acquisition or the development of a complementary product or service that can gain market share, improve profit margins, or otherwise improve profitability. If these announcements happen quietly, like on a company blog, it may take a long time to get priced in. If announce at a conference, there may be an immediate bounce on hype, that will die off before a longer-term profit can be made.
In any event, items discussed by a company outside its earnings may have an impact on how they perform down the line. Looking out for announcements like a new product or sizeable layoff can be a good sign that a company’s shares will rise in the coming weeks and months.

There’s an old market adage to buy when there’s “blood in the streets.” But there are plenty of ways to draw blood.
In today’s litigious society, one such way is with a big lawsuit. From hot cups of coffee to weed killer that may be cancerous, it’s no surprise that America still leads the world in producing lawyers who need something to do—which usually means finding someone with deep pockets to sue.
While many cases have their merits, a favorable jury will often hand out pretty sizeable sums—and that kind of news can set back the shares of a company’s price. The days of the biggest legal battle of them all, regarding the tobacco companies and healthcare costs, seem long past.
But are they? In the twenty-first century, new legal battles are forming. And one place they’re forming in are in the opioid space. Abuse of opioids—legally and illegally—have been on the rise for a long time, and some places are starting to go after the companies that manufacture them.
While some pharma companies have already settled with states to avoid the potential for large jury payouts, one company is bucking the trend. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is defending itself against the state of Oklahoma, which is suing the company on the basis that it helped to fuel the crisis.
While we don’t know yet how this trial will end, we do know that these often high-visibility trails don’t kill companies—although they do hurt their share price in the short-run. From McDonald’s to the tobacco space, buying during times of literal trial are often the most profitable.

The Walt Disney Company is known for many things—Mickey Mouse, princesses, world-class theme parks. Its more recent acquisitions into Marvel, Pixar, and now Fox Entertainment make it a great company.
But a great company doesn’t always mean it’s trading at a great price for investors.
That’s the case right now.
Shares of the media conglomerate surged following the announcement of its new streaming service, Disney+. With a huge entertainment catalogue and a starting price point of $7 per month, the company will be going head-to-head with the lowest-cost streaming services, some of which still interrupt their shows with advertising.
While the move is a great one for the company, it’s a move they could have started years ago. For the past few years, shares of Disney have traded in a $95-115 range, as solid operating results have come up against the ongoing deterioration of its lucrative cable contracts. As more and more folks move online, the amount of revenues gotten from its cable channels, particularly the ESPN franchise, has been declining at a rapid rate.
The new announcement has moved shares to the $130 range. Until the new service is fully built out, we’re looking at a new trading range, likely from $115 to $135 per share. Investors looking to own this great company should wait until they’re down to around $120 or so—even if it’s during the next market pullback—before buying.

There are plenty of ways to beat the market. Warren Buffett knows them all. For the most part, he’s also tried them all.
Investors with small sums of money can fare well following the modern equivalent of the strategies a young Buffett used to outperform the go-go market of the 1960’s.
For example, Buffett often made trades based on arbitrage opportunities. That’s where a stock has one price in one exchange, but a different price in another. Buy in the lower priced and immediately sell in the higher price, and you get an instant profit.
Today’s fast-trading, information-efficient markets have made such opportunities rare. But when one company announces an acquisition offer for another, there’s usually a low-risk, moderate-return way to use merger arbitrage to your advantage.
Say company A offers to acquire company B at $50 per share. And say shares move to $48 on the news. There’s a $2 opportunity there to buy shares of company B. As long as the merger goes through, there’s a low-risk way to make a moderate return in a short period of time. Just beware—not all mergers go through.
Another strategy is to follow a deep value investing. Young Buffett looked to buy sizeable stakes in smaller companies that were trading incredibly cheaply. But instead of looking entirely at earnings or profit margins, there would also be an analysis of the company’s cash and cash equivalents. In the 1960’s, it was possible to find many small companies often trading for less than the value of their cash per share!
While the opportunities aren’t as extreme like that today, markets are mostly focused on large-cap companies. Finding deep value in smaller-cap companies can still lead to plenty of opportunities to outperform the overall stock market.

Most chart patterns can appear over any timeframe. But a number of unusual-looking patterns often take place over a shorter period of time, such as a day or an hour, or even less.
These patterns may not look like anything at first, compared to typical continuation or reversal patterns, but they can lead to powerful returns in a very short amount of time as they unfold.
From the oft-occurring ABCD trade to the cup-and-handle to flag patterns, these trades are perfect for jumping in and out of stocks and foreign currencies in the span of a few hours.
These patterns show what traders are doing in real time—and can give you a clue as to when more profits are expected, even if it looks like prices are starting to sag after a recent move.
Finding and taking advantage of these patterns, despite how unusual they may look while they’re unfolding, are a great way to ensure you profit from your short-term trades.

Trading Tips - Buy the Post Bubble Collapse
play

06/18/19 • 7 min

While the overall market is great at consistently building wealth over long periods of time, individual sectors and stocks will have a far more volatile time. Capital moving from one area to another quickly can often lead to huge overvaluations that then result in drops that are just as large.
In Wall-Street speak, this move far outside the norm is a bubble. While buying into one seems like the right idea at the time, usually under the guise that “everyone else is making money!,” investors can often get better prices waiting for the bubble to burst.
Tech stocks slid an average of 80 percent after the tech bubble in 2000. Buying surviving companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon then would have led to tremendous wealth creation.
Housing prices, in terms of price to income, had a bubble of their own, and in many markets housing prices fell by at least 50 percent. Buying a second home as a rental a decade ago would have created a lot of wealth—and income—for someone without having to even touch the stock market.
Today, one of last year’s bubbles, in the cannabis space, seems to be getting close to a bottom. Many of the players, big and small, have fallen 70-80 percent from their highs or more. And even tobacco stocks have struggled here, on news that they don’t want to get into the space yet!
However, the fear right now, after the collapse, is a good sign that it’s time to buy. There may not be a rapid rise here again like there was during last year’s bubble, but today’s prices are so depressed that they represent a good long-term entry price in a rapidly-developing new market sector.
