why i'm buying (Public, PINK:DGRI) Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. , my best penny stock buy in 2011

(Public, PINK:DGRI)  Dutch Gold Resources, Inc
Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. (Dutch Gold), incorporated on October 13, 1989, is a gold miner focused on developing its mining properties in North America and acquiring and developing new mines. The Company maintains two mining projects and a milling operation near Grants Pass, in southern Oregon. On December 31, 2009, the Company acquired Aultra Gold, Inc.Dutch Gold seeks to leverage its capital through strategic investments in other gold miners, with an intent of developing multiple sources of cash flow from its’ capital base.

Dutch Gold Resources believes that building value in the mining sector requires having exceptional people working on projects of significance, in keeping with the Company’s ability to bring financial discipline to the development and subsequent production of its portfolio properties.

To that end, Dutch Gold is proud the experience sets of the key members of its management team. Rauno Perttu, COO and Vice Chairman, has forty years of experience identifying and developing successful mining projects. The balance of the management consists of seasoned Merger & Acquisitions, and Corporate Finance professionals, with Dan Hollis serving as CEO and Steve Keaveney serving as CFO. Mr. Keaveny has been instrumental in the completion of two-dozen M&A assignments, along with providing over $500 million of financing to his companies. The team mission is to identify and finance opportunities to enhance the value for its shareholders.



The Company’s portfolio consists of three properties. Dutch Gold is focuses on its holdings of merit in Montana and Nevada. The Company is conducting advanced exploration and predevelopment of the large gold system at our Basin Gulch property in Montana. Our Jungo Project is a promising new discovery in Humboldt County, Nevada. The property is being actively explored and is located near the Sandman project. Dutch Gold has placed its Oregon properties into Care and Maintenance. The Company has an active acquisition pipeline.
Finding a Gold Stock in NanoCap is tricky because normally there are so many shareholders and it takes eons to value the metal they extract from the ground. Not to mention the underlying metal itself is volatile and many companies are dual listed and information is hard to keep up with. I found a company who will be reporting soon in the OTCBB in the US who is dual list and has a 2011 plan as strength in the underlying metal continues.The estimated gold mineralization volume for the discovery block is 633 million tons grading 0.012 ounce per ton (opt) gold, using a 0.0065opt cutoff, for a contained volume of approximately 7,600,000 ounces of gold. Within this mineralization is higher-grade volume of 108 million tons grading 0.026 opt gold, containing approximately 2,800,000 ounces of gold. The gold mineralization also contains locally significant associated silver mineralization that was not included in the estimates.


Additionally, based on numerous higher-grade gold intercepts that have not yet been evaluated, Dutch expects to define very significant areas of higher-grade mineralization with future drilling, both within the discovery zone and outside it. As step-out and fill-in drilling is conducted in the gold-mineralized areas intersected by the holes outside the discovery block, Dutch anticipates the discovery will grow

In March of 2010, Dutch Gold spun of an existing corporate structure, creating Shamika 2 Gold, Inc. (SHMX:OTCBB). Dutch Gold holds over 5,500,000 shares of SHMX. The transaction enhances the financial statements of Dutch Gold, and provides potential sources of cash flow for DGRI in the future. Management is pleased to have leveraged its capital base, and is evaluating other opportunities to strengthen its balance sheet and cash flow.
The Company is pleased to report that initial results appear to be favorable, and to announce the next steps in the interpretation of the data.

The Company is reviewing the drill core from its Jungo property in Humboldt County, Nevada. The hole was drilled at 60 degrees to the northwest to cross the southeast-dipping geology. Dutch Gold is pleased to announce that the drilling has intersected extensive breccia containing a wide variety of locally rounded clasts including volcanic fragments and locally extensive pyritic quartz clasts in a matrix of clay and apparent quartz sericite. This is interpreted to be the volcanic vent that was crossed almost perpendicularly from 92 feet to 280 feet in a 188-foot segment of a trench that overlies the drill hole a short distance to the south.

In the trench, the eastern twenty feet assayed 0.042 opt gold and more than 0.5 opt silver. A select 5-foot sample of the hot springs rock assayed 0.6 opt gold and 4.44 opt silver. Additionally, the western portion of the vent in the trench contained intervals that assayed better than 0.01 ounce per ton gold. The core is interpreted to be the upper level, lower temperature part of a gold system that could strengthen at depth.
Looking for Gold: The Modern Prospector's Handbook (Prospecting and Treasure Hunting)


The volcanic vent gold system is interpreted to be a younger, separate system from the gold and copper system that was the focus of the earlier exploration in the area. This newly identified system does not appear to contain copper.



Dutch Gold believes that a combination of the mineralization in the newly discovered system with the earlier identified gold and copper mineralization should be evaluated for its combined open-pit potential. Furthermore, the new system should be evaluated on its continuation to the north and at deeper levels.



"We will log the core in detail, cut it and submit it for assaying. First assay results are expected in about two weeks," said Rauno Perttu, Chief Operating Officer. "These early indications, along with the assay data, will guide the Company in further exploration and development planning for the Jungo project," added Mr. Perttu.
Jungo is located approximately 50 miles northwest of the town of Winnemucca, in northwestern Nevada.

The Jungo property lies between the historic Sleeper Mines and Allied Nevada Gold Corporation’s Hycroft Mine in Humboldt County, Nevada, and southwest of and across the valley from Newmont’s Sandman project. The Company has no direct association with any of these nearby mines.

The Hycroft Mine historically produced in excess of a million ounces of gold and recently announced that it plans to go back into production with the recent discovery of at least 5 million ounces of additional reserves.

Located in Granite County, Montana, the Basin Gulch Mine is a large, open-ended, gold and silver system. Discovered by the company's COO and world renowned geologist, Rauno Perttu, the property has been partially explored by 323 reverse circulation and core drill holes and approximately 17,000 feet of trenches. The system contains multiple areas of mineralization, and an open-ended defined resource of more than two million ounces of mostly low-grade disseminated gold and silver, with local shallow higher-grade breccias and inferred veins.



On February 11, 2011, Dutch Gold Resources acquired an exploratory license for its Basin Gulch Project. The permit facilitates exploratory drilling of the property which is said to contain $3 billion in gold and may contain one of the largest gold deposits ever in Western Montana

The Sleeper Mine produced approximately 1.7 million ounces of gold, much of it from very high-grade near-surface veins. Recent exploration is finding new areas of strong ore-grade mineralization below the historic mine pit and along newly identified mineral structures outside the historic exploration area.

The Jungo property contains extensive exposures of brecciaed and silicified Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in contact with Tertiary volcanic rocks to the north and east. Surface samples from the property were anomalous in gold and silver, with several samples assaying better than 0.1 opt gold, and one sample greater than 0.6 opt. The apparent southwestern end of a siliceous gold system was exposed in the northern of two surface trenches completed by Dutch in March of 2007. Very limited exposures suggest that the possible hot springs silica associated with a minimally eroded volcanic vent extends for at least 2,000 feet northeastward under shallow alluvial cover.

Three additional trenches were dug in 2010. Trench JTP-3 was sited 1020 feet north of the 2007 trenches and was dug in an easterly down-slope orientation to cut across the lower margin of the eastern hillside of the Jackson Mountains. This new trench exposed altered Pretertiary meta-sedimentary and meta-igneous rocks that have been locally intruded by younger sialic shallow igneous rocks. All of the rocks have been fundamentally shattered and sheared.


Gold Miner's Handbook
Trench JTP-3 exposed the apparent continuation of the silicic gold-bearing volcanic vent that was seen in the northern 2007 trench. The JTP-3 trench interval from 140 feet to 270 feet contained the apparent vent zone, with erratic blocks of altered older metamorphic rocks mixed with and locally dominated by younger highly silicic gassy volcanics. The vent is gold bearing. The trench interval from 200 to 210 feet assayed 0.048 opt gold and 0.5-ounce silver. The interval from 240 to 250 feet contained 0.076 opt gold and 2.6 ounces silver. The adjacent interval from 250 to 260 feet assayed 0.017 opt gold and a half-ounce silver.The Basin Gulch Mine is a large, open-ended, gold and silver system in Montana located in central Montana west of the historic mining towns of Philipsburg and Anaconda. It is important to note that Basin Gulch is not affected by the recent proposed political changes affecting the North Fork Flathead Area. This is an area with numerous historic mines, including the legendary mines at the historic town of Butte.

Recently, several conditions have changed to make Basin Gulch an exciting exploration target. Gold prices have increased. Attitudes toward mining have improved in central Montana. Discovery and development of very large and very profitable underground mines, primarily in Nevada, have made formerly disdained underground mines very attractive to mining companies. Dutch recognized that Basin Gulch has major mining potential under current Montana law and had the historic exploration information reviewed by an independent consulting geologist. The geological consultant completed an updated report in January 2010. The report showed a significant increase in the volume of mineralization, using data not previously reported in an area that was historically drilled on fifty and hundred-foot spacings





 DGRI HAS secured a new license and seem ready to make a real run forward.

Actual events could differ materially and substantially from those projected herein and depend on a number of factors. Certain statements in this release, and other written or oral statements made by Dutch Gold Resources, Inc. are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

"When we reported on the Basin Gulch resource earlier this year, Dutch Gold management believed that the market would find the size of the deposit to be of interest. With gold hovering near $1,400 per ounce, the project is attracting attention from large and small investors alike. Our expectation is that we can begin to unlock the value in Basin Gulch early in 2011, and that the components to grow the project may be available in the near future," observed Mr. Hollis. A copy of the Basin Gulch report can be found on the Company website.Dutch Gold Resources(ticker:DGRI) has quickly become number 1 on "top 15 active stock market forums.Investors have begun to take notice of undervalued gold stocks such as Dutch Gold Resources in light of the leverage to gold this company can provides for investors.


The company has recently updated their NI 43-101, a third party evaluation, on the 100% owned Basin Gulch property significantly raising resources. Third party evaluation has confirmed above average gold mineralization with data from the property.

"GEMCOM results... yielded a combined proven and probable gold and gold-equivalent silver resources... 2,803,970 ounces gold"

Also from the third party evaluation-

"because all drill holes and all the assays were not used for these calculations, and both estimates are open in all directions, these volume estimates SHOULD BE VIEWED AS THE LOW END OF THE TOTAL GOLD present on the site."fully explored to depth which could reveal even more gold. Basin Gulch, however, is not the only property Dutch Gold Resources has at their disposal for gold production. The company also has the 100% owned Jungo Property in northern Nevada, which is set for a completed NI 43-101 sometime early next year. A description from the company website-


"The Jungo property contains extensive exposures of brecciaed and silicified Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in contact with Tertiary volcanic rocks to the north and east. Surface samples from the property were anomalous in gold and silver, with several samples assaying better than 0.1 opt gold, and one sample greater than 0.6 opt. "

The companies' 100% owned 330 tons per day capacity mill, using the lower figure of .1 opt, could produce 33 ounces of gold per day at 330 tpd x .01 opt. If the mill is operated at 340 days per year, the company can bring in revenue of at least $14,586,000 per year and this estimate could be low as many wall street gurus such as Jim Rickards are calling for gold to steadily climb upwards possibly as high as $10,000 oz.

Dutch Gold Resources offers an amazing leverage to this gold rush by providing shareholders with a high number of ounces of gold in the ground per share. The company currently has only 198M shares outstanding with a very low float of 90M shares.

It's 100% owned properties give investors .014 ounces of gold in the ground per share, this equals $182 of gold per share at $1300 gold.

The current share price as of last Friday, November 12th is just less then 3 cents at .028. At this current price, the market values Dutch Gold Resources at only $4 million dollars. This is incredibly low given their proven and probable assets of 2,803,970 ounces gold and growing with new drill results coming in the first quarter of 2011.

2.8M oz. of gold at $1300 per oz.= $3,640,000,000

After expenses and taxes, this still gives the company a possible billion dollar profit from their gold holdings, and that could be low given the bullish future of gold! If the market valued this company at just 10% of their gold holdings, you could see share price reach as high as $1.50 in the coming months.

There have been companies recently, with 2-3 times as many outstanding shares, make 1000-2000% gains after being in a position similar to Dutch Gold Resources.This resource update significantly increased the size and quality of the Basin Gulch deposit. The gold resource remains open for Basin Gulch project in all directions. We are enthusiastic about the potential for future discovery, both in the discovery . There is a huge risk with this stock , however there is alot of promise and could make you mad money !doing a little research just came across this article.. shamika gold use to be AGDI and is now trading under SHMX. Trading at .39cent.. DGRI owns 5 million shares..


looked interesting.. Also seems like we should be getting results of the jungo project this month..•The company has taken steps to leverage its other assets with the spin-off of AGDI, retaining 5.5M shares of AGDI stock


•DGRI has increased the depth and caliber of its management team over the last twelve months, positioning the Company for rapid growth

Starbucks Corporation
SBUX Hasbro Inc.
HAS Blackstone Group L.P.
BX 10. Digital Realty Trust(DLR_) is a data-center real estate investment trust, or REIT.

Goldman initiated coverage of this sub-industry in December with "favorable outlook" due to cloud-driven demand. It expects data-center REITs to generate the best profit growth among real estate stocks over the next few years. Digital Realty is Goldman's favorite stock in the group due to recent underperformance. Digital Realty missed third-quarter consensus earnings by 0.8% and its stock corrected 4.7%. Still, 65% of Wall Street analysts rate the REIT "buy."





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



9. Crown Castle(CCI_) owns, operates and leases wireless communications towers.

Recent lease modifications with carriers, including AT&T(T_), are expected to bolster 2011 revenue. Given the company's history of exceeding rental revenue guidance, Goldman is bullish on the company's growth prospects and is forecasting rental revenue 2% above the top threshold of management's guidance and 77 cents of earnings in 2011. Its $64 target was derived by combining free-cash-flow and discounted-cash-flow analyses, implying 24% upside

8. Chicago Bridge & Iron(CBI_) is an engineering and construction company, focusing on infrastructure projects for oil-and-gas companies.


Goldman views it as a levered oil play. Crude oil is trading above $90 a barrel, currently, and demand is growing amid the global recovery. E&C backlogs are inflecting and Goldman expects investors to start paying higher multiples for stocks in the sector, with Chicago Bridge & Iron offering the most upside. Its stock trades at a forward P/E of 14 and a cash-flow multiple of 15, 34% and 35% peer discounts.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



7. Sapient(SAPE_) is a services company, selling advisory, analytics and consulting services to businesses and government agencies.

It also operates technology outsourcing centers in India. Goldman has a $15.50 price target on the stock, suggesting an impending 12-month return of 27%. The stock returned 47% in 2010 and has delivered annualized gains of 11% since 2007. Sales and net income advanced 16% and 171% a year, on average, over that span. The stock trades at a forward P/E of 24, a 32% industry premium. The company has $187 million of net liquidity (total cash minus debt).

6. Blackstone(BX_) is an alternative-investment company, structured as a publicly-traded partnership, which invests roughly $104 billion, of fee-generating assets, in private equity, real estate and hedge funds.


The firm also has an advisory unit, offering merger and acquisition, restructuring and reorganization assistance. Goldman expects several of Blackstone's funds to surpass so-called high-water marks and to resume charging performance fees in 2011. It thinks funds could attract another $7 billion, to boot. The stock commands a discount forward P/E of 9.8.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



5. Precision Castparts(PCP_) makes metal components and castings, forgings and fasteners for aerospace and industrial companies.

Precision has significant fixed-costs, so incremental volume bolsters profit margins significantly. The company beat Goldman's fiscal second-quarter sales forecast by 3.5%. It expects Precision's stock to advance 28% to $128 within the next 12 months. Precision commands a premium of 93% over its aerospace peers, based on cash flow per share.

Still, 75% of analysts covering Precision rate it "buy" and 15% rank it "hold."

4. Hasbro(HAS_) is a toy maker.


The company's new children-focused television network, The Hub, is demonstrating sequential growth in ratings, with all-day viewership of 34,000. Not only is this venture generating incremental advertising revenue, but offers a venue to market Hasbro's toys and games. Hasbro has grown sales and net income 3.9% and 11%, annually, since 2007. Its stock has risen 23% a year over that span. It trades at a forward P/E of 15, a modest peer discount. Goldman's target, echoed by Sterne, Agee & Leach, suggests a looming 12-month gain of 30% for the stock.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortune (1-year auto-renewal)


3. Phillips-Van Heusen(PVH_) makes clothing, including dress shirts, neckwear and shoes, under the Calvin Klein , Izod and Tommy Hilfiger brand names.

An inflationary environment will benefit the company, according to Goldman, which expects $15 million of cost synergies in 2011, resulting from expense leverage on market spending and "sourcing gains from larger scale and category expansion at Macy's(M_)."

Goldman values the stock at $85. Roughly 73% of researchers rank it "buy."

2. Apple(AAPL_) sells consumer electronics.


The company's stock returned 53% in 2010, topping the large-cap tech category. Apple is a consensus pick for 2011. Of analysts covering Apple, 48, or 91%, advocate purchasing its shares and five recommend holding. None say to sell. Piper Jaffray has the highest price target, expecting a gain of 36% to $438. Goldman believes, contrary to some analysts, that the gross margin has bottomed and could climb in the near-term. Its $430 target is equivalent to 20-times its 2011 earnings per share estimate of $21.46.




The Economist (1-year auto-renewal)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1. Starbucks(SBUX_) is Goldman's favorite pick within a restaurant industry that it believes has "the best supply/demand dynamics in 25 years."

The number of U.S. restaurants has fallen to 1986 levels, following recession closings. According to Goldman, Starbucks is due to return 36% in 2011 on multiple expansion and steady earnings growth.

The bank thinks the Street is underestimating same-store sales growth for the coffee chain, forecasting a 7% to 8% uptick in 2011. Emerging market expansion will add fuel to the fire.

Top ETF for 2011 ( Metals )

Top ETF for 2011 ( Metals )
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Precious and base metals proved to be popular themes for ETF sponsors over the past year. While some companies took to launching products which tapped into previously unexplored corners of the metals industry, others offered up new ways to gain exposure to old favorites.



Here are some of the most interesting precious- and base metal-related products which were introduced in 2010.



ETFS Physical Palladium Shares and ETFS Physical Platinum Shares



Palladium saw some of the strongest performance across the broad commodity spectrum in 2010 and ETF Securities, a relative newcomer to the U.S. ETF industry, enjoyed a lot of success last year with the launch of PALL and PPLT.



Designed to track physical stockpiles of palladium and platinum respectively, these two products benefited as investors sought out precious metals that would benefit as the global markets continued along the road to recovery.



Although they are still just under a year old, the two funds have generated impressive followings, boasting over $700 million in assets each.



On top of increasing the number of options investors can use when looking for physical precious metal exposure, PALL and PPLT also pose as suitable proxies for those seeking exposure to the automobile industry. Platinum and palladium are used extensively in the production of catalytic converters and have managed to power higher as the industry continued to heal.



ETFS Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares



Following the successful launches of PALL and PPLT, it wasn't until October that ETF Securities resurfaced with its next new product, GLTR. Whereas in the past, companies such as PowerShares had attempted to capture the strength of multiple precious metals under one roof by utilizing futures contracts, GLTR is the first fund to combine exposure to gold, silver, platinum and palladium from a physical perspective.



>> Cramer: Commodity Rally Won't Stop



This investing strategy allows investors to take a broad based approach to precious metals and benefit as general demand for these commodities increases.



Global X Copper Miners ETF
Super Sectors: How to Outsmart the Market Using Sector Rotation and ETFs (Wiley Trading)


Copper has long been an attractive metal for investors looking for a way to capture economic growth. Used extensively in construction and infrastructure, this red metal tends to perform best in times of market optimism. Thanks to the advent of exchange traded products, investors have been introduced to a number of options which can be used to access the copper industry.

Although it was not the first fund launched in 2010 that took a concentrated look at copper producers, COPX has managed to gain a leg up on its competition thanks in large part to its reduced expense ratio.



Global X Lithium ETF



Global X gained considerable traction in the ETF industry in 2010. Once reliant on the success of a small number of international-focused ETFs, the company's family of funds has expanded to include a collection of funds which target various regions of the metals industry as well.



One of the more unusual launches to come from this company in 2010 is LIT. Lithium has long been used in a number of industries. However, more recently, the commodity has received a lot of fanfare as investors show increasing interest in clean energy sources such as batteries.



Due to its concentrated focus on such a small facet of the broad economy, LIT may not be appropriate for long term, conservative investors. However, short- term players comfortable with taking a risk may find the fund's volatile action attractive in 2011.



Market Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF



One of the last fund launches of 2010, REMX has managed to get off to a running start. The timing of this fund's launch was impeccable. In the weeks following REMX's introduction, China has announced its plans to curb rare element exports in 2011 which, in turn, has caused top REMX components including Molycorp and Lynas Corp to take off in a big way.



Rare earth elements are used heavily in the production of handheld devices such as smartphones. Therefore, it is no question that these metals will remain in the headlines as more people around the world turn to these gadgets to stay up to date with our increasingly fast paced, interconnected world.

Jim Cramer,The Dow’s Top 3 Stocks for 2011 / Dow to Climb 15% in 2011

The Dow’s Top 3 Stocks for 2011


 By: T. Brennan

Web Editor, Mad Money



Which stocks will lead the Dow in the coming year? Cramer on Monday picked three:



3. American Express



In third place is AmEx [AXP 43.40 0.48 (+1.12%) ], which Cramer thinks will climb to $60 by the end of the year—a 40-percent jump. He likes the stock for two main reasons: 1. It’s a terrific growth play on the worldwide recovery and the rebound in consumer spending, travel and the return of the business customer; and 2. Nobody yet thinks of AXP as a growth stock. They’re too busy looping it in with the slow-growth banks or Visa and Mastercard, which took a hit in debit-card fees via last year’s credit-card reform bill. But this company has no debit-card exposure at all, and Cramer doubts the feds will go after AmEx next. So investors get the chance to buy the stock while it’s still cheap.



AXP trades at just 12 times forward earnings, though Cramer thinks it deserves 15. Factor in the $4 a share he expects the company to earn in 2011, and you get your $60 a share.



2. Intel



Intel’s [INTC 20.85 -0.18 (-0.86%) ] on its way to $30 this year, Cramer said, thanks in no small part to a new-generation processor launching this month. He mocked Piper Jaffray’s downgrade of the stock, saying all of the analyst’s concerns—price erosion, being late to the mobile Internet trend—made sense in early 2010, but not in 2011.



Plus, Cramer’s bullish on Intel’s purchase of security software firm McAfee, something the Street has scoffed at repeatedly. He thinks it makes sense in this WikiLeaks world. Just look at how Hollywood’s putting Intel’s chips to work to fight piracy over the Web. Cyber security is big business, and Intel’s now at the heart of it.



Intel also pays a 3-percent dividend yield right now, it’s buying back tons of stock and it trades at just 9.2 times earnings when you back out the $3 of net cash per share. Cramer thinks this one reaches $30 by year’s end, or 44 percent higher than Monday’s close.



1. Alcoa



The Dow’s top performer will be this cyclical play, Cramer said, the leading independent producer of aluminum. He offered a word of caution, though: Alcoa [AA 15.80 0.41 (+2.66%) ] might not be in the Dow at all by the end of 2011 because it could very well be taken over.



That aside, aluminum’s a base material used in everything from cars to trucks to planes to construction. And the continuing ramp-up in the first three of those industries, as well as the coming rebound in non-residential building, will drive prices ever higher. There’s just too much demand with too little supply right now.



Cramer’s also a big fan of CEO Klaus Kleinfeld, whose leadership offers one way to $18 a share for AA. The other path is through earnings, which Cramer expects to come in at $1.50 a share this year. When you put his 12 multiple on the stock, there’s your $18. Even better, though, might be a takeover—whether from Vale [VALE 35.13 0.56 (+1.62%) ], BHP Billiton [BHP 92.91 -0.01 (-0.01%) ] or Rio Tinto [RIO 71.60 -0.06 (-0.08%) ]—something Cramer thinks is likely due to Alcoa’s massive cash flow. He predicted a bid of $22 a share for the company, giving investors a 39-percent gain from Monday’s closing price.



Of course, Alcoa kicks off earnings season next Monday. Cramer recommended starting a position now and then buying more after the report, which he expects to be positive. Sure, the stock is up big after a Deutsche Bank upgrade, but he thinks AA in general is down from previous levels and has done largely nothing for quite some time, making it relatively inexpensive. The stock’s upward trend should continue after the quarter.



“I think this one sprints higher courtesy of off-the-charts demand for its products,” Cramer said.

Expect stocks to continue their climb throughout the New Year, Cramer said Monday. As a result, investors should buy, buy, buy because this is “the year for aggressive investing.”




How can Cramer be so sure? For a number of reasons, actually.



He thinks hiring is on the rise, and that creates a virtuous circle for the economy that pushes stocks higher, too. New jobs translate into more demand for housing, a dramatic decline in home-loan defaults, more credit demand at banks and higher tax receipts at the federal and local levels. Couple that increased revenue with the austerity measures already in place, Cramer said, and you end up with a lower deficit than anyone’s predicting.



Plus, copper, a basic metal at the heart of all the world’s economies, is up. That in turn signals a rise in the demand for steel as well. Then there’s also the fact that people are cashing out of bonds and returning to stocks, which means they’re excited about making money in the market again.



Cramer’s so confident in the coming year that he put a number on it: Dow 13,365, a 15-percent jump from current levels. That’s his guess after analyzing all 30 Dow stocks, predicting their gains for 2011 and adding them together.



To name just a few of those predictions, Cramer expects Boeing [BA 66.40 1.14 (+1.75%) ] to rise 28 percent to $85, Home Depot [HD 35.31 0.25 (+0.71%) ] to jump 27 percent to $45 and Caterpillar [CAT 94.15 0.49 (+0.52%) ] to reach $120, or 27 percent higher than its present level. He’s bullish on the banks, too, and said the group is the best way to play this rebound in hiring, the consumer and new building.



What won’t work in 2011? The defensive names: Kraft Foods [KFT 31.67 0.16 (+0.51%) ], Pfizer [PFE 17.68 0.17 (+0.97%) ], Merck [MRK 36.04 --- UNCH (0) ], Johnson & Johnson [JNJ 62.82 0.97 (+1.57%) ]. The same goes for the old-tech companies, like Microsoft [MSFT 27.98 0.07 (+0.25%) ], Hewlett-Packard [HPQ 42.74 0.64 (+1.52%) ] and Cisco Systems [CSCO 20.49 0.26 (+1.29%) ].



Investors are better off with the Dow’s offensives stocks, Cramer said, and the oils. But there are three in particular he likes the most.

US stock picks and Economy: Predictions for 2011 / 2011 year of us stocks?

The benchmark gauge for American equities will rise 11 percent from last week's close to 1,379 in 2011, bringing the increase since 2008 to 53 percent, the best return since 1997 to 2000, according to the average of 11 strategists in a Bloomberg News survey. Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s David Kostin, the most accurate U.S. strategist this year, said sales growth will spur a 17 percent rally in the S&P 500 through the end of 2011.



Ben S. Bernanke said in an interview broadcast Dec. 5 by CBS Corp.’s “60 Minutes” program that the economy is barely expanding at a sustainable pace and that he may increase bond purchases. China, the world’s fastest- growing major economy, said this month it’s moving to a more “prudent” monetary policy to counter inflation.




Kostin, Goldman Sachs’ New York-based strategist who said last year the S&P 500 would end 2010 at 1,250, wrote in a note Dec. 6 that below-average bond yields help create a “superb backdrop” for equities. He expects the S&P 500 to finish 2011 at 1,450, the second most-bullish call among 11 firms surveyed. Total per-share earnings among companies in the index may rise to $94 next year, he said.



The profit forecast would be a record and compares with an average prediction of $92 a share in the Bloomberg News survey of strategists. The index trades at 13.5 times that estimate, compared with a median price-earnings ratio of 16.4 since 1956, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Ancient Ale

Higher Yield



The S&P 500’s earnings yield, or annual profit divided by share price, was 6.45 percent at the end of last week, according to Bloomberg data. That was 3.13 percentage points more than payouts on 10-year Treasuries and about 2.4 points more than the average interest on U.S. corporate bonds as measured by Barclays Plc. The spread between S&P 500 earnings and corporate bond yields is close to the highest level in more than two decades.



That suggests stocks are cheap relative to bonds and may spur investments by individuals, institutions and companies in 2011, Kostin said.




“As we go forward we’re going to see the economy do quite nicely in 2011…The fundamentals of the stock market are going to strengthen as we go forward. Corporate earnings should continue to grow and of course they will adjust to higher P/E ratios,” Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners Incorporated told CNBC.Better GDP growth


According to the economists, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth will be better than the previous year. Since the GDP growth is an indicator of the economy’s well-being, positive figures will lead to positive outcome. According to the survey, the GDP will grow 2.6% in the current quarter; up from the 2.4% growth projected in the survey conducted last month. Also since the concerns regarding the double-recession have melted down, the economy will lead to greater expansion in the first half of 2011and into 2012.



Retail ?
Retail sector has posted modest to robust gains this year on the back of the stronger holiday-season sales. Although there are gloomy events occurring like A&P’s decision to file bankruptcy, the overall outlook is bright. Plus, the consumer confidence index is up so, retailers just need to sit tight with their revised business models for 2011 and there will be growth. the ? is how much ..



Housing sector

After tumbling for a while, the housing markets have gained momentum. The housing stocks have been up as housing sales are picking up. However, economists are little skeptical about the overall outlook of housing markets, which is heavily dependent on the employment figures that need a drastic improvement.Which will improve in 2011 , housing signs for 2011 looks positive .


For the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the median estimate for the middle of the year is 12,050 among 23 respondents, which would translate into a gain of about 6 percent from Tuesday's close of 11,359.16. The new target is higher than the 11,620 forecast in the September survey.




The year-end target for the Dow is 12,105 in another signal that investors are feeling guarded about the second half of next year.






Tax Plans for USA

Obama’s revised tax plan which includes the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts has been accepted by many. The added tax-cut factor is expected to stimulate the markets and hopefully boost the job markets as well.





Goldman Sachs is bullish on the U.S. economy for 2011, and forecasts U.S. stocks will see their third straight year of gains.








The investment banking powerhouse sees the S&P 500 [.SPX 1252.13 5.05 (+0.4%) ] gaining nearly 25 percent to a level of 1450 in the next 12 months, fueled by strong corporate profits, easy monetary policies and an improving U.S. economy.



Goldman [GS 167.92 1.87 (+1.13%) ] sees stocks gaining as the U.S. economic growth accelerating from 2.5 to 4 percent by the end of 2012, but says investors will continue to have doubt. (Watch comments by Goldman's Chief U.S. Investment Strategist David Kostin in the video clip later in this story.)



“Despite these many positives, the equity investing landscape is hard to decipher,” Goldman’s U.S. investment strategy team writes in its 2011 U.S. equity forecast, which is headlined “Easy Money, Hard Market.”



Investors remain understandably skeptical about positive economic data, Goldman says, because the improvement is coming from a fairly low base. But the strategists argue with strong corporate balance sheets, low inflation and interest rates that “the path of earnings growth has rarely been smoother.”







Goldman is recommending its clients increase their investments in cyclical sectors. It continues to overweight technology, and has raised its outlook on energy and financials to overweight from neutral.



Goldman also recommends investors underweight defensive sectors like health care, consumer staples and utilities.



Long U.S. Bank Stocks



Goldman’s global investment team rates U.S. Large Cap Commercial Banks among its "Top Trades for 2011." The firm expects financial sector earnings to grow 24 percnet, with the economic recovery leading to improving loan demands and credit trends for the big banks. It also believes the large cap banks will get back to paying dividends in 2011.



The firm recommends clients gain exposure to the sector through the KBW Bank Index [BKX 51.06 0.72 (+1.43%) ] or SPDR ETF based on the index [KBE 25.36 0.36 (+1.44%) ].



Commodities: Gold, Oil Higher in 2011







Goldman believes low U.S. interest rates will continue to underpin the rally in commodities like gold. The firm expects the precious metal futures to climb to $1,690 an ounce by the end of 2011 and continue to move higher.



But the firm believes prices will likely peak at $1,750 an ounce in 2012, as the U.S. recovery will see interest rates move higher.



Goldman’s commodities strategists also see oil futures rising to $105 dollars a barrel in 2011, and demand improving along with the U.S. economy. The firm notes, “Energy is historically the best performing sector when the ISM is above 50, which seems increasingly likely given strong October ISM and our US economists upgrade to their 2011 growth outlook.”



Currencies: Top Trade, Bad Call



Among the risks Goldman sees for 2011 is moderating growth in China, as Beijing tries to reign in inflation.



While its economic teams saw the improvement in U.S. growth lagging emerging markets in 2010, Goldman strategists believe the trend has reversed over the last six months, “with our US economics team now more constructive on domestic growth, but our China economists expecting monetary tightening through increases in interest rates and reserve requirements over the next three to six months.”







One of the firm’s top trades for 2011 involves shorting the U.S. dollar/Chinese yuan exchange. The firm argues low rates in the U.S. will keep the dollar lower, while China will have to let its currency rise next year, as it undertakes policies to control growth. “Rising external political pressure on the CNY from the US and other countries, as well as the threat of escalating trade tensions, expose China’s dependence on exports. More gradual CNY appreciation would help alleviate these tensions.”



While most of Goldman’s 2010 predictions on the U.S. stock market, commodities prices and economic growth have generally proven right on the money, its crystal ball was much more cloudy when it came to some key currency calls.



One of Goldman’s top trades for 2010 proved a big loser. The firm’s currency strategists recommended shorting the New Zealand dollar and going long the British pound, saying at the time, “We are more bullish on Sterling, linked to a stronger cyclical momentum in response to a large easing in financial conditions.”



But the Kiwi has been strong performer this year on the strength of the country’s rising commodity prices. The analyst who made that call reportedly apologized to clients in a recent note, saying it may have results in losses of more 12 percent.

5 Stock Christmas stockings stuffers for 2010 and 2011

•Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO)


•Conexant Systems (Nasdaq: CNXT)

•Health Management Associates (NYSE: HMA)

•Jamba (Nasdaq: JMBA)

•L-1 Identity Solutions

Some of these names might surprise you. For example, L-1 Identity Solutions showed French aerospace leader Safran enough potential that Safran decided it wanted to buy most of the company. Almost great? Even familiar names can still offer some of the best opportunities. Perhaps we've just forgotten the potential they still hold.



And smoothie maker Jamba is reinventing itself by expanding beyond just fruit drinks. It's blending new opportunities by offering warm drinks and food to take on Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) and fruit-based energy drinks that will squarely challenge Hansen Natural. As the 170,000-plus CAPS members have chosen these companies as less obvious sources for tomorrow's great buys, let's see why they might merit your attention.



In the sight of greatness?

Given that it just stumbled, with same-store sales falling 1% for November following a 2% drop in October, it might be surprising to find retailer Aeropostale on this list. Even laggard Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) was able to report another month of strong comps.



Yet along with Buckle, Aeropostale has been one of the outstanding retail success stories throughout this recession. The market's overreaction to the sales news created a buying opportunity that even private equity investors noticed. The retailer has hired Barclays to advise it on preventing a hostile takeover attempt.



Assuming that management succeeds in fending off any potential bidders, CAPS member echeverria says the retailer remains best in class:



ROIC best in it's industry; great inventory control, clean balance sheet. Recent sell off is an over reaction! [Aeropostale] will outperform it's peers over the next five years.

More than 91% of the CAPS members rating the retailer expect it to outperform the broad market averages. Tell us on the Aeropostale CAPS page whether you believe that it can gain altitude again.



Dirt cheap?

Fabless semiconductor maker Conexant Systems has been diligently paring down its debt-laden balance sheet using equity offerings made earlier this year. Coupled with its sales of various product lines in order to concentrate on its core business, Conexant should be able to create value for shareholders again.



It hasn't been an easy path; the semi shop anticipates a significant sequential revenue decline in its legacy businesses for this quarter. Still, CAPS member TechSci has high hopes for Conexant's new graphics chip.

A big opportunity

Mergers and acquisitions is one of the themes running throughout a number of the companies listed today. It's possible that Community Health Systems' lowball bid for hospital operator Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC) in November will actually be an opening for Health Management Associates to buy Tenet. Analysts suspect that HMA is the only real alternative (aside from private equity) to make a realistic bid for Tenet. But although Wall Street has cast a pall over Community's offer, Community still might come back with a higher bid that Tenet shareholders would jump at.



Thus, investors comparing Health Management Associates to either Community or Tenet may find HMA the better choice. Rate or read about the hospital operator on the Health Management Associates CAPS page, and add the stock to the Fool's free portfolio tracker.



A great opportunity for you
