Top ‘Black Friday’ hot stocks to buy 2013 / 2014 #blackfriday #cybermonday #cybermondaystocks

Starting the retail holiday shopping season on Thanksgiving was an unmitigated success. For example, Walmart (WMT) actually had 41,000 transactions per minute yesterday. Wow.Hewlett-Packard (HPQ-Free Report), Tiffany (TIF-Free Report), Wal-Mart (WMT-Free Report), Target (TGT-Free Report) and Best Buy (BBY-Free Report).


So expect this as a standard practice for the retail industry going forward, and perhaps the beginning of Thanksgiving as a holiday celebrated only by those with enough money to not have to work on that day. (The lesson here is, clearly: stay in school, kiddies.) That said, today is still Black Friday, when retailers across the spectrum see their first overall profits of the calendar year. How's your retail exposure?

This early period in holiday shopping season is necessarily skewed toward the big-box retailers, like Macy's (M) and Target (TGT), both of which also did well opening their doors on Thanksgiving. All three of these companies carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold); accelerated sales right at this very moment are already baked into the cake. And Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL) can also be expected to stay busy for the next several weeks, and they have Zacks Rank #3s, too.

But here's a list of retailers you may wish to consider,The Retail sector has been in focus lately, with the broadly underwhelming guidance from Wal-Mart (WMT-Free Report), Target (TGT-Free Report), Best Buy (BBY-Free Report) and others pointing towards a soft holiday shopping season for the sector. Even before the earnings reports from these retailers, we knew that consumer spending growth had decelerated in Q3. We know that in the Q3 GDP report personal consumption expenditures were up only +1.5%, down from Q2’s +1.8% growth pace. A low-growth environment forces retailers to rely on promotional efforts to grab more consumer dollars. But this zero-sum drive for market share where one company’s gain is another’s loss typically drives down margins for everyone.

Looked at this way, Wal-Mart’s sub-par outlook may not solely be a function of under-pressured household finances, but also reflective of a hyper competitive retail environment where some operators are more than willing to sacrifice margins for more sales. Wal-Mart referred to this competitive dynamic in their earnings call, which apparently more than offset the beneficial effects of recent downtrend in gasoline prices. either to increase your exposure to the retail space or replace some of your holdings that aren't really bringing home the goods.Jessica Kessler had her first Black Friday experience several years ago, waking up at 3 a.m. on Friday to stand outside in the cold with hundreds of people waiting for Kohl's to open. Since then, she has ventured out with her husband's family in the early morning hours of Black Friday to hunt for deals. But she said there is no discount deep enough to draw her from her home on Thanksgiving.

"I was able to knock out a good bit of my shopping in the years that we went and got some deals that I was happy with," she said. "But at this point, there is no amount of savings that they could offer that would make it worth it to me."
Cyber Monday Deals


Tiffany & Co. (TIF), Activision Blizzard (ATVI) and The TJX Companies (TJX) are all Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stocks, and each has received an upgrade from Hold in the past week. The high-end jeweler, video game maker and discount department retailer all posted positive earnings surprises in their most recent quarterly reports, most notably ATVI's 600% surprise (7 cents vs. 1 cent earnings per share).Wal-Mart /quotes/zigman/245476/delayed/quotes/nls/wmt WMT +0.73% , J.C. Penney /quotes/zigman/237947/delayed/quotes/nls/jcp JCP +2.38% , Macy’s Inc. /quotes/zigman/467976/delayed/quotes/nls/m M +0.97% , Target Corp. /quotes/zigman/253872/delayed/quotes/nls/tgt TGT -0.02% , Sears Holdings Corp. /quotes/zigman/95136/delayed/quotes/nls/shld SHLD -0.09% , Kohl’s Corp. /quotes/zigman/231595/delayed/quotes/nls/kss KSS +0.34% and Best Buy Co. /quotes/zigman/219712/delayed/quotes/nls/bby BBY +0.73% are among the big-box retailers planning to be open on Thanksgiving. Reader poll: Are you shopping on Thanksgiving?


After trading closes on Friday, J.C. Penney will leave the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +0.25% since its market cap no longer made it suitable for the large-cap index of stocks.

Online retailers such as Amazon.com Inc. /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed/quotes/nls/amzn AMZN +0.70% , eBay Inc. /quotes/zigman/76117/delayed/quotes/nls/ebay EBAY +1.12% and Overstock.com Inc. /quotes/zigman/87370/delayed/quotes/nls/ostk OSTK -0.54% are likely to draw attention as well on Friday, with “Cyber Monday” right around the corner. Read about what’s different about this year’s Black Friday “doorbusters.”

No significant earnings reports were scheduled for Friday



But Northern department store Bon-Ton (BONT) and specialty furnishings retailer Kirkland's (KIRK) are riding his with Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) designations. Both have also received upgrades in the past week, and both expect big numbers in their January quarters. Consider either or both if you're looking for more "pop" from your holiday shopping investments

They sell cropped workout pants and crop fertilizer; they serve up beer, burritos or blond highlights. These companies have little in common, really, except that they're America’s new favorite store chains, expanding quickly throughout the country, exciting shoppers when they arrive in their town and generating lush profits along the way. While delighting consumers with their take on the familiar presented in fresh, convenient ways, these retailers on a hot streak have also enriched their investors. Each of them is arguably in or near the sweet spot of their development. They’re large and mature enough to have perfected their store models, won widespread consumer recognition and reached sufficient scale for effective advertising strategies. They have expanded their locations by 40% to 90% since 2008, in most cases going from regional to national. Yet their brands, so far, haven’t turned tired or over-familiar, and by their own and analysts’ estimates they are not much more than halfway to their potential size. Wall Street’s push-pull Each of these burgeoning retailers qualifies, on Wall Street, as a trendy growth stock. They have a beautifully smooth and deftly executed expansion record, customers reliably flock to make each newly christened shop or restaurant a near-instant money maker, and their stocks are therefore expensive - and magnets for contrarian skepticism. Each company is valued at or well more than 20-times their expected 2013 profits, in a market that’s paying on average about 15-times company earnings. This means investors are collectively giving the chains a lot of credit upfront for a successful continuance of their fast growth in coming years. Owned as a group, these stocks will probably outperform the broad market in a decent economy for a while to come - but likely because one or two grow to dominate while others plateau or falter. At some point, every retail chain hits a wall, growing so large it begins cannibalizing its own sales or losing the favor of a fickle and easily distracted customer. This is why four of the companies on this list have an unusually large percentage of its shares sold “short” by investors betting they will lose value. Short interest in the four bear-targeted names ranges from four- to eight-times as high as the broad market. Expensive, faddish companies always attract naysayers, who are often wrong for quite some time until they’re resoundingly right. Click through to see, in alphabetical order, the country’s new favorite hyper-growth consumer companies. Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. (BWLD) Grand opening of Buffalo Wild Wings (Photo by Tony Tribble/AP Images) This chain of sports-bar-themed restaurants hawking beer, hot wings and casual camaraderie has burst from 560 to 923 locations since 2008, driving revenue up 146% to $1.04 billion last year and sending per-share earnings to $3.06 in 2012 from $1.36 in 2008. Buffalo Wild Wings shares are up 277% in the past five years to a recent $97.46. The Minneapolis-rooted chain has adopted a marketing image as an essential place for friends to watch the big game, with TV commercials striking a tone of benign frat-boy team passion, allying themselves closely with major televised sporting events. The goal is to nearly double the store count to 1,700. A major risk to the firm’s profits from quarter to quarter is the volatile wholesale cost of chicken parts – a mark of the intensity of their customers’ wing-gnawing appetites. Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. (CMG) A Chipotle Mexican Grill in the west Denver suburb of Lakewood, Colo. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski) Easily the most ubiquitous and broadly loved of the new consumer favorites, this 20-year-old quick-service pioneer of locally sourced and freshly prepared Mexican-inspired meals is almost a one-company movement. Founded haphazardly in Denver by a classically schooled chef and backed for a time by McDonald’s Inc. (MCD), Chipotle is a dining juggernaut with 1,410 shops in North America, up 68% in four years. The company is so coveted as an addition to local shopping centers and downtowns that it has pursued a strategy of opening multiple locations in a given market as a way of provoking consumer awareness and cravings to accelerate sales. While it might be over-ambitious, the company figures it can double its store count, and is now rolling out an Asian-themed sub-chain. Chipotle has two million “likes” on Facebook, and its shares are up 300% in the past five years, to $366. Chipotle is nonetheless is closer to reaching the point when its hefty scale makes difficult the kind of rapid growth its shareholders are implicitly demanding. It remains to be seen how scalable Chipotle’s locally sourced, more-expensive food processes are. A great company, but at an eye-searing 34-times forecast 2013 profits, that’s a lot of beans to pay for a maturing purveyor of admittedly tasty burritos. Lululemon Atheltica Inc. (LULU) Pedestrians walk past a Lululemon Athletica store in New York, March 19, 2013. (REUTERS/Lucas Jackson) Lululemon is inarguably the retailer that enjoys the greatest customer passion per square foot of store space in North America. Begun in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company makes carefully crafted active wear such as yoga pants and halter tops that are beloved for their style, quality and performance. It has become a cliché that the duds are something of an everyday uniform for women in certain affluent areas. When the company famously recalled a series of black women’s yoga pants in March for being too sheer, the stock took a hit, but Lulu’s reputation for intense attention on quality and customer loyalty was enhanced. Under CEO Christine Day, who has said she will soon step down, Lulu has perfected a strategy to use planned scarcity to “train” customers to anticipate and pay hefty full prices for new designs. The stock is up 300% in five years, ad sales per square foot were an astonishing $2,058 last year, up more than 30% from 2008 levels. It has doubled its store count to 211 since 2008, a small footprint that leaves plenty of room for growth. As a benchmark, Canada Lulu has nearly four times as many stores per capita than it does in the U.S.; other major markets such as Australia, Hong Kong and Germany are being pursued aggressively. Tractor Supply Inc. (TSCO) Tractor Supply Company in Springboro, OH. (Ed! via Wikipedia) The marketing tag line for this Brentwood, Tenn., big-box chain of farm and yard necessities is “For Life Out Here.” In this case “out here” is America’s rural and exurban districts, where working farms and ranches abut hobbyist gardeners’ homes and weekenders’ retreats. The company has cleverly found an opening – many openings – in areas not dense enough for a Home Depot but with more local spending power and demand than an Agway or local hardware store can offer. There are close to 1,200 locations, concentrated in the Southeast but stretching nationwide, up from 855 in 2008. Revenues are up 55% in four years and per-share profits grew 160%. The stock is up an astonishing 660% in five years.

Ulta Salon, Cosmetics and Fragrance Inc. (ULTA) Ulta Beauty in Ann Arbor, MI. (Dwight Burdette via Wikipedia) Not as well known as the mall staple Sephora, Ulta has been aggressively spreading beauty across the country in recent years, with store locations growing 85% from 311 in 2008 to 576 now – on the way to a management-stated goal of 1,200. Selling makeup, skin and hair products and offering hair styling and other spa treatments in its salons, Bolingbrook, Ill.-based Ulta is largely taking business from local shops and department-store cosmetics counters. Earnings and revenue each have more than doubled in the past four years, and its avidly loved – and detested – shares are up more than 700% in five years to a recent $95. Ulta has a highly promotional management seeking growth at all costs, yet with unimpressive sales per store, modest profit margins and few inherent competitive advantages in its category. Its stated 1,200-store goal is contingent on many more malls being built. Sephora shops within JC Penney Co. (JCP) stores and Amazon.com's (AMZN) beauty category are re-launching. Beware the blemishes beneath what at first seems Alta's pretty image of health and growth

Top 13 Stock Picks for 2013 to buy Long term $PM $TOL $EDU $ADP $TNGO $AAPL $JBSS #STOCKS

Mr. Market often takes investors for a wild ride that instills them with fear and drives them away from stocks. But giving in to your market-phobia means missing out on big wins and losing out to future inflation.Despite a rally that has seen the market more than double from its bear-market low in 2009, stocks still represent good value. Stocks in most major sectors are trading below their long-term average price-earnings ratios. At the same time, companies are sporting profit margins and cash levels above their historical norms. Cash-rich companies that can manufacture growth in a tepid economy will deliver the goods to shareholders. Instead, add a more-reliable brand of stock to your portfolio. Here are ten low-volatility stocks that will deliver consistent returns over the long haul without all the drama. They all have betas of less than 1, which suggests that their moves are less than the market's (beta is a measure of volatility compared with a particular market, in this case the U.S. stock market, as measured by Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index). On top of having low volatility, the companies tend to pay generous dividends and increase them regularly. They usually boast pristine balance sheets, with loads of cash and little debt. Plus they are industry leaders and have been around for a long time, so you’ll no doubt find their products and services familiar Year company was founded: 1882 (ExxonMobil merger was in 1999) 52-week high: $86.42 52-week low: $66.80 Consecutive years of dividend increases: 13 Yield: 2.8% Beta: 0.50 ExxonMobil may have ceded its claim as the world’s most valuable company to Apple (AAPL), but the energy giant has something Apple doesn’t: a corporate history spanning more than a century and a reputation for safety befitting a stock with a market value of $400 billion. Plus, it is one of just four companies with a perfect, AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor’s. Exxon is not without some challenges. The company has cut back its refining business, for example, as demand for oil in developed countries shrinks. Another hurdle is a huge stake in North American natural gas production Year company was founded: 1856 (as Minneapolis Milling Company) 52-week high: $40.73 52-week low: $34.15 Consecutive years of dividend increases: 29 Yield: 3.2% Beta: 0.18 The brands of consumer food giant General Mills are strong enough to withstand competitive pressures from cheaper generic brands. Is there really any substitute for Cheerios? Other brands include Lucky Charms, Progresso soups, Green Giant vegetables and Betty Crocker baking mixes. A weak economy and high commodity prices are challenges. A slightly muted outlook for the fiscal year that ends May 2013 in part reflects increased spending to shore up the company’s recently acquired Yoplait yogurt division, a laggard in the trendy Greek yogurt category. But General Mills is cutting costs elsewhere and using its formidable cash position to expand in faster-growing emerging markets and to finance dividends, share buybacks and acquisitions -- most recently a Brazilian food maker that is expected to more than double the company’s annual sales in Latin International Business Machines (IBM) Year company was founded: 1911 (as Computing-Tabulating Recording Company) 52-week high: $208.63 52-week low: $155.65 Consecutive years of dividend increases: 17 Yield: 1.8% Beta: 0.66 Big Blue has been around for a century and knows how to weather economic storms. The company offers a wide range of computer hardware, software and services, making it a one-stop shop for many corporate information-technology departments. Cloud computing could challenge IBM’s high-end hardware business. But the company continues to innovate. It spent $6.3 billion on research last year and won more U.S. patents (6,180) than any other company. Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Year company was founded: 1949 52-week high: $56.07 52-week low: $43.48 Consecutive years of dividend increases: 36 Yield: 2.9% Beta: 0.70 ADP is a bet on an improving economy and a rosier employment picture. The world’s largest provider of outsourced payroll services, it's another of the four triple-A-rated companies left standing. The annual dividend has grown from $1.16 per share in 2008 to a rate of $1.58 this year. A recessionary relapse would be bad news for ADP. But employment numbers in the U.S. are trending up. And untapped markets among small and midsize businesses, as well as overseas, provide plenty of running room for ADP. Read more at Coca-Cola Co. (KO) Year company was founded: 1886 52-week high: $76.94 52-week low: $62.19 Consecutive years of dividend increases: 23 Yield: 2.7% Beta: 0.52 You can order a Coke almost anywhere. Coca-Cola Co. delivers its soft drinks, which also include Sprite, Fanta, Tab and Fresca, to thirsty consumers in some 200 countries. (Other brands include Minute Maid orange juice, Powerade energy drink and Dasani bottled water.) And the company is investing billions of dollars more in overseas markets (which account for 70% of sales), especially in China, Russia, Brazil and other big emerging markets. Coke battled higher commodity prices last year but recently announced a plan to shave annual costs by $550 million to $650 million by the end of 2015. Analysts, on average, expect Coke to generate annualized earnings growth of nearly 8% over the next three to five years. Some, such as analyst Caroline Levy, at Credit Agricole Securities, think Coke can achieve a double-digit earnings growth rate over the long haul. The stock, at 18 times estimated earnings, isn’t cheap. But the bulls say that because of Coke’s steadiness, it deserves an even higher price-earnings ratio. Read more at Philip Morris International (PM) Year company was founded: 1847 (went public in 1881) 52-week high: $89.50 52-week low: $60.06 Consecutive years of dividend increases: 4 Yield: 3.7% Beta: 0.87 You’ll find the shares of Philip Morris International tempting if you have no concerns about investing in tobacco. Consider this telling prediction, from Morningstar: By 2020, there will be 1.4 billion smokers globally, up from 1.3 billion today, even if the percentage of the population that smokes declines 1% annually. Not counting China and the U.S., the market share of Marlboro, PMI’s best-selling brand, rose to 9% last year. And Parliament, a luxury brand with a high profit margin, saw sales volume increase 12%. Midprice L&M has been gaining market share in the European Union since 2009 and is the second-largest brand there. Unfortunately for smokers, cigarette price hikes are a frequent fact of life. But that pricing power helps PMI offset pockets of declining sales in Europe. And it contributes to the large profits that fund an aggressive stock-repurchase program and regular dividend increases, including a 20% boost in the payout rate last year Read more at Procter & Gamble (PG) Year company was founded: 1837 52-week high: $67.33 52-week low: $57.09 Consecutive years of dividend increases: 10 Yield: 3.8% Beta: 0.45 Check your pantry or laundry room and you'll probably find this company's products lining the shelves. P&G has more brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales -- including Tide, Duracell and Charmin -- than any other household-goods maker. P&G hasn’t been immune to consumer belt-tightening in the U.S. and Europe and slower growth in emerging markets. As with many multinationals, currency swings have cut into revenues. The company recently warned that sales and profits for the fiscal year that ends in June 2013 would be less than previously expected. But P&G has responded with some belt-tightening of its own. The company is engineering a $10 billion, five-year cost-savings program aimed at plumping profit margins. And executives have vowed to focus on core markets and businesses, as well as on dreaming up the next game-changing product you don’t yet know you need. Disappointing short-term projections have pushed the stock to bargain levels, say long-term bulls. If P&G’s plan works, shareholders could come out winners as earnings growth re-accelerates. Meanwhile, investors are paid to wait for progress with a generous dividend on a stock that is less than half as volatile as the overall market Coach 52-Week High: $79.70 52-Week Low: $48.24 Annual Revenue: $4.9 billion Projected 2013 Earnings Growth: 14.7% From Kiplinger: Shares of the luxury handbag maker Coach (symbol: COH) fell 7% in 2012, mainly because of sluggish sales in North America. But skittish investors overlooked Coach's overseas business. In the July–September quarter, foreign sales rose 15% from the same period in 2011, driven by nearly 40% growth in China. Coach pulls in average sales of $2,500 per square foot per year from its more than 800 stores worldwide, 25% more than rival Tiffany. Coach has significantly raised its dividends every year since 2009; its stock yields 2.1 John B. Sanfilippo & Sons 52-Week High: $19.67 52-Week Low: $7.16 Annual Revenue: $721 million Projected 2013 Earnings Growth: 5.4% From Kiplinger: One bag of nuts is like any other, right? Not at John B. Sanfilippo & Sons (symbol: JBSS). The Elgin, Ill., nut processor has done much to make its brands -- Fisher and Orchard Valley Harvest -- stand out. Small innovations, such as the use of resealable bags, are just a start. The firm launches new products every year -- such as vanilla-flavored almonds in 2012. Adam Strauss, co-manager of Appleseed Fund, expects a 44% bump in 2013 profits from 2012. The stock, which has a market value of just $184 million, sells for 11 times estimated 2013 earnings Toll Brothers 52-Week High: $37.08 52-Week Low: $18.95 Annual Revenue: $1.7 billion Projected 2013 Earnings Growth: 61.2% From Kiplinger: Housing has turned the corner, and that’s pushed up homebuilder stocks. Shares of Toll Brothers (symbol: TOL), which bills itself as the nation's biggest builder of luxury homes, rose 62% in 2012, and the Horsham, Pa., company has plenty of momentum going into the new year. Toll Brothers recently reported that the backlog of homes under construction had climbed 59% from the year before. The company is diversified. Single-family homes account for 53% of sales; high-rises, senior communities and multifamily homes make up the rest. Analysts see profits rising 65% in the current fiscal year. New Oriental Education & Technology Group 52-Week High: $29.19 52-Week Low: $9.41 Annual Revenue: $841 million Projected 2013 Earnings Growth: 30.4% From James K. Glassman: New Oriental Education & Technology Group (symbol: EDU), which I recommended for 2010, gained a lovely 48% over the following 12 months. For the past year, however, New Oriental -- which dominates the market for private educational services in China (55 schools and 726 learning centers) -- has taken a dive, as have many Chinese stocks. It's now close to its early-2010 price, even though revenues have doubled Tangoe 52-Week High: $23.05 52-Week Low: $11.99 Annual Revenue: $140 million Projected 2013 Earnings Growth: 33.3% From James K. Glassman Terry Tillman, who analyzes software stocks for the Raymond James investment firm, chose SuccessFactors for 2012. Now he's enthusiastic about Tangoe (symbol: TNGO), which makes software that helps manage the telecom services that large and midsize companies use. Revenues in the July–September quarter were up 39% from the same period in 2011. When you consider Tangoe's fast growth, its P/E of 20, based on 2013 earnings estimates, seems attractive. But I'm mainly drawn by the firm's similarity to SuccessFactors. Two in a row?

The stock fell off a cliff at $5.40 and 36-hours later it was back down to $1.75. Some guys made a killing, others lost their shirts. I think 99% of what happened to FNMA was due momentum chasers and day traders. Clearly the market is having a difficult time trying to figure out what Fannie is worth these days. The news services are also struggling. The normal sources have some big discrepancies. Bloomberg measures the market cap of FNMA at $12.9Bn (5.8Mn shares outstanding): The stock fell off a cliff at $5.40 and 36-hours later it was back down to $1.75. Some guys made a killing, others lost their shirts. I think 99% of what happened to FNMA was due momentum chasers and day traders. Clearly the market is having a difficult time trying to figure out what Fannie is worth these days. The news services are also struggling. The normal sources have some big discrepancies. Bloomberg measures the market cap of FNMA at $12.9Bn (5.8Mn shares outstanding): Yahoo Finance agrees with Bloomberg: CNBC and Reuters have a different number for the market cap. They think that FNMA is only worth about $2.6Bn, about 1/4 of what Bloomberg is saying: Google has yet a different number. It thinks FNMA is worth about $3.8Bn, based on 1.71Bn shares outstanding: In the March 2013 10-Q Fannie confirmed that the number of shares outstanding is 1.158Bn. So the market cap of FNMA (as of the close) is about $2.5BN. Bloomberg, Yahoo and Google have bad data. No wonder traders are so confused. The deep thinkers in D.C. are also confused about the government's investment in the mortgage industry. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tn) thinks that Fannie and Freddie should be shut down and a brand new government owned mortgage entity should take over. Corker has a fancy new name for his mortgage lender, Federal Mortgage Insurance Corp. The problem with Corker's plan is that the US already has a federally owned mortgage insurer. FHA (separate from Fan and Fred) has been booking new mortgages like crazy the last four years. FHA is under-capitalized, and will probably need a bailout in the not too distant future. Yesterday the FHA leaked an internal review that stressed tested the FHA business plan. That "plan" looks like it could be another disaster for taxpayers: I think Corker is nuts to consider a new government owned mortgage lender. The government will screw it up just like they have with Fannie, Freddie and FHA. How many times do these guys have to get hit over the head before they realize that mortgage lending is risky stuff? I don't know what will happen with Fannie and Freddie. If you believe in the FHFA (the administrator for F/F) then you would have to conclude that F/F have no value at all. The flip side is that if left alone, F/F would be able to pay back all of the money borrowed from the Treasury PLUS a very big return to the taxpayers. This "miracle" could be accomplished in less than 36-months. GM/Chrysler, AIG and all of the TARP banks have done pretty much what F/F are capable of. They went into the crapper in 2009, the Feds bailed them out and after a few years all the money was paid back with a gain. Given that as a precedent, then a good case could be made to let F/F go down the same road. If F/F were allowed to payback the taxpayers, and then emerge as new private sector companies, the Preferred stock of the Agencies would be money good, and the common stock would be worth many multiples of the current price. Most investment opportunities have three possible outcomes. (1) A significant gain, (2) a complete loss , and (3) something in the middle. That's not the case with F/F. There is no "middle". Either the the common/Pref could be a huge home run, or it is going to zero. No wonder the market is having a difficult time trying to figure out how to value the equity

Will Stocks end higher ? $AAPL $GOOG $FB $DELL $GM $F

The Nasdaq composite stock index closed at a 12-year high and the S&P 500 index at a five-year high, boosted by gains in technology shares and stronger overseas trade figures. Volume was roughly 5.6 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT, compared with the 2012 average daily closing volume of about 6.45 billion. The S&P 500 also posted a sixth straight week of gains for the first time since August. The technology sector led the day's gains, with the S&P 500 technology index (.SPLRCT) up 1.0 percent. Gains in professional network platform LinkedIn Corp (LNKD) and AOL Inc (AOL.N) after they reported quarterly results helped the sector. Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) briefly lurching over 14,000. It's also a decent description of an experienced stock veterans' reaction to the hype about a new bubble in equities. People who lived through two different horrific crashes in the last 15 years know what bubbles look like, and this isn't it. Scoffing at the notion that one month of $77 billion in equity inflows (January) somehow trumps $1 trillion of outflows, Brown says the most that can be said of individual investors is that they are once again considering equities. "Becoming curious" is how he puts it. Usually the curiosity takes the form of a question followed by a quick assertion that stocks are way too high and certain to plunge at some point in the near, but unknowable, future. Brown has three things to say to those paralyzed by fear given the rumored flood into stocks by the masses. 1. Whether or not individuals are buying stocks doesn't matter. Stocks are up 127% since 2009 with outflows every month. It will take much more than one month of investing to move the needle on the price of a stock market valued at $14 trillion, give or take. Only on the extremes are the inflows or outflows of individual investors of any value in predicting future stock moves. 2. There's real money buying. Endowments and institutions are the ones coming back into stocks, they're just too embarrassed to say so. Instead the punditry couches their buying in phrases like "increasing our equity allocation" or "adding risk." Pros talking like that may as well be wearing a sandwich board announcing that they missed the rally. 3. Market timing is for suckers. "I know people who play market timers on TV," he says, "but in reality it's a very tough game to play." Amen. The question for those all in cash is what burning bush or lightning strike was their omen of a crisis to come. Being 100% in cash makes investors literally insane, he insists. Even people otherwise brilliant and successful start hunting for reasons to justify why they've been so cautious. Staying half invested at least wards off the lunacy of timing and Doomsday scenarios Shares of LinkedIn jumped 21.3 percent to $150.48 after the social networking site announced strong quarterly profits and gave a bullish forecast for the year. AOL Inc (AOL.N) shares rose 7.4 percent to $33.72 after the online company reported higher quarterly profit, boosted by a 13 percent rise in advertising sales. Data showed Chinese exports grew more than expected, a positive sign for the global economy. The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in December, suggesting the U.S. economy likely grew in the fourth quarter instead of contracting slightly as originally reported by the U.S. government. "That may have sent a ray of optimism," said Fred Dickson, chief market strategist at D.A. Davidson & Co in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Trading volume on Friday was below average for the week as a blizzard swept into the northeastern United States. The U.S. stock market has posted strong gains since the start of the year, with the S&P 500 up 6.4 percent since December 31. The advance has slowed in recent days, with fourth-quarter earnings winding down and few incentives to continue the rally on the horizon. "I think we're in the middle of a trading range and I'd put plus or minus 5.0 percent around it. Fundamental factors are best described as neutral," Dickson said. The Dow Jones industrial average (^DJI) ended up 48.92 points, or 0.35 percent, at 13,992.97. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (^GSPC) was up 8.54 points, or 0.57 percent, at 1,517.93. The Nasdaq Composite Index (^IXIC) was up 28.74 points, or 0.91 percent, at 3,193.87, its highest closing level since November 2000. For the week, the Dow was down 0.1 percent, the S&P 500 was up 0.3 percent and the Nasdaq up 0.5 percent. Shares of Dell (DELL) closed at $13.63, up 0.7 percent, after briefly trading above a buyout offering price of $13.65 during the session. Dell's largest independent shareholder, Southeastern Asset Management, said it plans to oppose the buyout of the personal computer maker, setting up a battle for founder Michael Dell. Signs of economic strength overseas buoyed sentiment on Wall Street. Chinese exports grew more than expected in January, while imports climbed 28.8 percent, highlighting robust domestic demand. German data showed a 2012 surplus that was the nation's second highest in more than 60 years, an indication of the underlying strength of Europe's biggest economy. Separately, U.S. economic data showed the trade deficit shrank in December to $38.5 billion, its narrowest in nearly three years, indicating the economy did much better in the fourth quarter than initially estimated. Earnings have mostly come in stronger than expected since the start of the reporting period. Fourth-quarter earnings for S&P 500 companies now are estimated up 5.2 percent versus a year ago, according to Thomson Reuters data. That contrasts with a

Top stocks to buy under $5

Nokia? Turns out that big expense cuts coupled with a hot, cheap smartphone were enough to get the company to report sharply better-than-expected​ numbers. That's right, if you bought a series of highly visible below-$5 stocks, you made fortunes, and I regard the moves as verification of my theory that everyone should have a speculation play in his or her portfolio, because it can keep you in the game by making the process intriguing and because you can make huge profits if the story pans out. Specifically, check out these gains. If you bought Sprint Nextel (S -4.14%) in May of last year at $2.30, you have now much more than doubled your money. If you had purchased Clearwire (CLWR +0.95%) at $0.91 as recently as July 26, 2012, you caught a triple after Sprint bid for the company. Those who had the guts to buy Supervalu (SVU -0.71%) -- I know I didn't -- at $1.80 back in October 2012 are verging on a double after the investment made by Cerberus that was announced this morning. And finally, if you had taken a chance with Nokia (NOK -2.34%) back in July at $1.69, you have more than doubled your capital after the company announced its sharply better-than-expected​ earnings last Thursday. Frankly, even I, a huge supporter of speculation, am astounded at these gains. Just astounded. How could you not be? In every case, these companies were thought to be on the ropes. Yet it turns out they all had more value than we realized, although the value was obscured, typically, by weak balance sheets. Sprint, Clearwire and Supervalu had been burdened with huge amounts of debt, so much that their solvency was in question when we hit those amazingly low prices. But Softbank took a look at Sprint after it had successfully re-energized its business under super CEO Dan Hesse and liked it enough to buy a huge amount of the company. Clearwire, as tattered as its balance sheet was, turned out to have extremely valuable spectrum, so valuable that even though Sprint decided to buy the rest of it with the money Softbank gave it. Charlie Ergen, a maverick businessman and chairman of Dish Network (DISH -0.57%), has been drawn into the bidding for the company, perhaps to get some of that spectrum that is in such short supply and is so needed for additional cell-phone service. Now, you could have two different takeaways here. One is that you might say, "Terrific, Jim, you lost a fortune before you were able to get a fraction of your money back." I bridle at that, because fortunately, I disliked all of these on the way down. Second, though, is that you could correctly argue that I stayed too negative, not liking Supervalu and Clearwire at their lows, thinking the bond holders would end up with their companies. But I did manage to nail Sprint and did say it was way too late to sell Nokia. I know some of you are probably thinking right now that you should be buying other down-and-outers, like RadioShack (RSH +2.70%), Best Buy (BBY -0.14%) or Hewlett-Packard (HPQ +3.34%). My take is that as with Nokia, there's no reason now to hate Radio Shack. Too low. Best Buy? Still falling. And Hewlett-Packard, I would rather be a buyer than a seller at this point.

Reasons Markets are Surging in the New Year in 2013 $CAT $HPQ $AAPL

1) Manufacturing: The Institute for Supply Management reported on Wednesday that U.S. manufacturing grew in December following an unexpected month of contraction in November. The PMI grew 1.2 points to 50.7, and investors celebrated by bidding up shares of Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) as much as 4.2 percent in morning trading. The Dow-component stock is also enjoying an industry upgrade from ISI Group, following channel checks that indicate inventory levels at distributors are reducing, which precedes a long-awaited production increase. Positive December PMI numbers from Brazil (51.1), China (51.5), and India (54.7) are also fueling optimism for the sector, despite continuing contraction in euro-area PMI, which came in at 46.1 for December. 2) Technology: Tech companies that got beat up at the end of 2012 appear to be winning back the faith of investors who no longer fear a fiscal cliff-induced recession. Shares of Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) jumped over 5 percent in morning trading following 2012 declines of over 45 percent. There is speculation that the struggling PC giant will put under-performing business units up for sale. Shares of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) are also beating index gains on Wednesday morning, adding up to 3 percent after closing up 4.43 percent on Monday. Apple was also beat up at the tail-end of 2012, but loyal investors or those who bought the dip could be rewarded for their good judgement if the company continues to deliver industry-defining technology in 2013. It’s also likely that consumer spending behavior will enjoy some vitality now that worst of the fiscal cliff shadow has been removed. Consumer dollars, previously held in a rainy-day fund, could easily find their way into the pockets of tech companies expected to release must-have devices in 2013, like wearable tech. 3) Financials: Some of the top headlines that came out of 2012 dealt with a series of tremendous financial scandals that rocked the banking industry and generated a huge amount of uncertainty. The financial sector went through dramatic restructuring and layoffs and continues to suffer fallout from the LIBOR rate-fixing scandal. With the 2008 crisis still fresh in Mr. Market’s memory, many investors were hesitant to put their money back into financial stocks. But with the cliff averted and confidence returning to the financial sector, Dow-component Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is beating index gains, soaring over 3 percent in morning trading on Wednesday. A strong start to the New Year follows 100 percent gains in 2012, and comes with continued bullish calls from many analysts, such as those at Evercore. Shares of JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) also popped as much as 2 percent on Wednesday morning. The bank, which made headlines for losing over $6 billion in the so-called London Whale Trade fiasco, joins Bank of America as a target of speculation regarding the potential divestment of its asset-management division. Ongoing banking reform is expected to do nothing but strengthen the financial industry and increase already attractive returns for their stock holders.

2013 Dow stocks not to buy (HPQ, INTC, MCD, CAT, AA)

Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HPQ) was a runner-up for the more properly named Dogs of the Dow for 2013, but that is solely because it was such a poorly performing stock in 2012. With this stock at $14.01, its shares are down about 44% in 2012. HP has a 52-week range of $11.35 to $30.00 and its yield is 3.78%. Analysts have a consensus target of $13.53 on HP, but the stock has fallen so much that we consider this an abandoned company due to its deep troubles. What can fix HP at this point? A miracle, or a sudden revolt against Apple products.

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) is a member of the Dogs of the Dow, and its yield has risen handily due to the poor performance of its shares in 2012. At $20.64, this chip and processor giant has fallen by about 12% in 2012, and its dividend yield is 4.36%. The 52-week trading range is $19.23 to $29.27. and the consensus price target is $23.14. Intel has significant challenges ahead with PC sales sucking wind. Intel is just not even acknowledged as having any presence yet in smartphones and mobile devices.

McDonald’s Corp. (NYSE: MCD) had a poor 2012, but that was after it was the single best performing stock of the 30 DJIA stocks in 2011. At $88.29, this stock is down about 8% so far in 2012. Things were looking far worse just a few weeks ago when the stock was sliding daily. Its 52-week range is $83.31 to $102.22, and its yield is 3.4%. What is amazing is that analysts still have a consensus price target north of $97 for this fast-food giant.

Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) is currently on the list of the Pigs of the Dow because it is in negative territory so far in 2012. At $87.48, this one is down in part because of its ex-dividend date being right at the end of December, and due to shares selling off so much due to a weaker macro and emerging market picture. If you adjust the share price for dividends, the stock is down only 0.8% and it only has to get back above $88.20 for it to be positive, if you back out the dividend payments. On a nominal basis, this one closed out at $90.60 in 2011. Analysts have a consensus price target of $97.93 for a year out and its 52-week range is $78.25 to $116.95.

We have one other company as a runner-up for the worst performing DJIA stocks of 2012. That means that if its shares drop in the next three sessions then this one could make the list of the Pigs of the Dow for 2013. Alcoa Inc. (NYSE: AA) just has refused to do anything in 2012. At $8.62, this stock is up less than 1% in 2012, and its 1.4% dividend yield is just not very impressive for a company that many investors believe is not representative of a DJIA stock any longer. Analysts have an upside price target of $10.41 on this, so maybe a recovery of any sort would be a great harbinger in 2013

Top Stock & Wall Street Predictions for 2013

Please RT & Share !!

Every December, trendsetters, astrologers, and clairvoyants test their credibility with a slew of prognostications – only some of which ever come true. Here at CNBC, we also like to show off our talent for predictions. Since we've got our finger on the pulse of the news and the global markets, our financial contributors are usually pretty smart about what the next year will bring. We asked the CNBC Fab Five -- Maria Bartiromo, Jim Cramer, Larry Kudlow, Joe Kernen and Tyler Mathisen -- to ponder a few weighty financial questions and give us their wisdom. Below is our annual look-ahead to what we call The Big Picture. Let us know if you agree – or if you don't – with their predictions for 2013. 1. What is in store for interest rates in 2013? CRAMER: I think rates can go much higher. Perhaps as much as 3.75 percent for the 30-year treasury. KERNEN: Like watching grass dry, or paint grow. Courtesy of Bernanke and Co. MATHISEN: Basically flat but slightly higher for treasuries and mortgages. BARTIROMO: Interest rates will continue to stay at rock-bottom levels. The Fed has already told us rates will remain at very low levels until 2015. I would expect QE4 to be announced sometime in 2013, which will reinforce this notion. KUDLOW: Don't look for much change in next year's interest rates barring a fiscal cliff recession, which I do not expect. The Fed will be ultra-easy, short rates stay near zero, QE in perpetuity. Long rates could drift higher from modest inflation pick-up from a soft dollar. 2. Where will the unemployment rate be by this time next year? CRAMER: I think we could see employment at 7 percent. KERNEN: Still in the 7s… MATHISEN: Unemployment will go down, but it won't be lower than 7.5 percent. BARTIROMO: The unemployment rate will likely stay around 8 percent, if not get worse, particularly if we go over the fiscal cliff. The upcoming expiration of the Bush tax cuts and the cuts in spending will likely push the economy into recession next year if not addressed, which will send unemployment higher. KUDLOW: With tax increases likely, including the Obamacare tax and regulatory and mandate increases, don't expect growth or unemployment to change much. Entrepreneurs are ready to rock, but they need a dose of free market policies to unleash confidence. I'm not optimistic about that. 3. Which companies do you think will become irrelevant in 2013? CRAMER: Advanced Micro Devices, Nokia, Sony KERNEN: The New York Times and other print-based entities. MATHISEN: Best Buy BARTIROMO: There will always be relevant and irrelevant names. What investors need to focus on are fundamentals. What we have learned again and again from the dot.com boom and bust and the housing boom and bust and so many other bubbles is, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. So look for those companies that may have a mismatch in terms of revenue and earnings growth relative to their market valuation for those that could end up busting. 4. Who will win the World Series in 2013? CRAMER: OK, I think pitching is everything, which means San Francisco is going to win the World Series. It bothers me because I'm a Philadelphian, and at one point the Phillies had the best rotation -- but our rotation got old. It's almost as if the Giants' rotation got young, so they're going to win it. KERNEN: Every year I predict the same winner, and that would be the Big Red Machine. The Big Red Machine is coming back; we're going to call it that again -- Cincinnati Reds. MATHISEN: I think the two teams in the World Series next year will be the Cincinnati Reds and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Angels have got a great team and the best manager in baseball, Mike Sosa. I think they are ready, and I think they'll win it in 2013. BARTIROMO: New York Yankees KUDLOW: It's gotta be the New York Yankees, but then again I say that every year. I am a manic Yankee fan, and they are going to have to change two-thirds of their lineup and their pitching staff. But yeah, go Yankees go. Good Riddance, $4 Gas Gasoline prices will continue to vary widely depending on where you live. But an improving supply picture will help alleviate any price increases in the national average next year. In 2013, the return and restart of major refinery units from the East to West coasts, and particularly along the Gulf of Mexico, will enable the production of more gasoline and keep pump prices from topping the $4 mark. Gates Back at Microsoft With Windows 8 a disaster, and the Surface tablet not close to meeting original internal projections, Steve Ballmer'sdays at Microsoft in 2013 are ... over. The bigger surprise: Chairman Bill Gates returns as interim CEO in a last-ditch effort to do the impossible: re-engineer Microsoft to its former glory. Perhaps the only bright side: To keep investors engaged, Microsoft more than doubles its regular dividend. Hewlett-Packard Splits Hewlett-Packard: All the king's horse and all the king's men (and CEO Meg Whitman) realize Hewlett-Packard cannot be put back together again. Before the end of 2013, the company is restructured, with the spinoff of its PC and printer business as HP makes a last-ditch effort to be like IBM. Buffett & His Elephant He wrote in his 2011 letter to Berkshire shareholders that his "elephant gun has been reloaded, and my trigger finger is itchy" for a multibillion dollar acquisition. It hasn't happened so far. Buffett revealed that two possible big buys "that were plus and minus" $20 billion didn't get done this year because he couldn't get the price he wanted. Berkshire won't borrow money to do a deal, unlike competing buyers who use cheap money to "bid pretty aggressively." Still, in an October CNBC interview, Buffett told us he's "salivating" for another big acquisition and I think he'll finally bag one with a big chunk of the $40 billion in cash now burning a hole in Berkshire's pocket. Obamacare Tax Reprieve UnderArmour Will Make Serious Moves at Nike Nikestill owns the shoe business, but if UnderArmour can get things going with its sneaker business, it will make a huge move to the upside. Its apparel has more cache with young Americans, and the growth trajectory has UA on a collision course with the sports icon from Oregon. My prediction is that UA profits and stock price will outperform Nike for the year. Medical device makers like Medtronic, Stryker and Boston Scientific face a 2.3 percent excise tax on revenues starting in 2013 under Obamacare. The expected drag on profits has been a headwind for the sector. It's unlikely the industry will succeed in getting the tax overturned in the current budget negotiation environment. But if device makers succeed in getting a partial rollback, the sector could see a lift. Over the next couple years, watch for consolidation among device makers as costs rise due to the new tax, but continued competition could prevent firms from raising prices. Major Bankruptcy in India India could experience a major corporate bankruptcy in 2013 that could hurt investor confidence. Many companies have taken out foreign currency loans and are feeling the heat as the rupee weakens. At the same time, growth is slowing, some industries are locked in brutal competition (look at aviation and telecom) and input prices are rising. A downgrade for India's sovereign rating looks likely, and that could have a knock-on effect, raising funding costs for corporates further and pushing the weak ones finally over the edge.
