Best 2014 Stocks to buy & own for Long Term Play #2014stocks $NIHD $JCP $CREE $DNKN $SIRI $GLUU




Glu Mobile Inc. (GLUU) Target Price $6 a share
is a top mobile gaming stock to buy at Cowen and Company for 2014. The company releases its video games internationally via multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Amazon, Windows Phone and Google Chrome. Embodying the "freemium" model, games created by Glu are typically free to play. Glu generates revenue through in-game micro-transactions consisting of $1.99 or less. The Cowen price target for the stock is $6 and is the highest on Wall Street. The consensus target is posted at $4. Glu Mobile closed Thursday at $3.76. So a move to the Cowen target would represent a 40% gain for investors.

Sirius XM Radio Inc. (SIRI) Target Price $7 a share
continues to draw new subscribers with its programming, and it is also a top stock to buy at Merrill Lynch for 2014. Despite challenges from other companies offering audio programming, Sirius XM has continued to be a strong player despite the fact that the stock has the highest short interest on Wall Street. Merrill Lynch has a $5 target, and the consensus target stands at $7. The stocks closed Thursday at $3.59

Dunkin' Brands (NASDAQ: DNKN ) Target Price $55 a share
is one of Starbucks' largest competitors, and it too has had an impressive run in 2013. In Dunkin's most recent quarter, earnings grew 10.8% and revenue rose 8.5% year-over-year, as it was able to expand its operating margin an incredible 310 basis points to 44.1%.
Dunkin's stock has outperformed the market right alongside Starbucks' stock in 2013, rising about 42.71% as of the close on Dec. 27. Dunkin' expects full-year earnings to increase 17.2%-19.5% and revenue to grow 6%-8% year-over-year and I believe it could have an even better 2014. The outperformance of both Starbucks and Dunkin' shows the strength of the industry and both companies have expansion plans in place to take full advantage of this. Dunkin' is my second favorite play in the industry, so investors should take a close look at this one if they are not sold on Starbucks.

Cree Inc. (CREE) Target Price $80 a share
is a leader in the manufacture of light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. These energy-sipping bulbs, which require up to 85% less power than traditional bulbs and can last up to 25 times longer than traditional bulbs, are gaining popularity. Only about 3% of the U.S. population currently uses them, but government price subsidies are making them more popular and affordable.Cree, Inc. (Cree) develops and manufactures semiconductor materials and devices primarily based on silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN) and related compounds. It focuses its expertise in SiC and GaN on light emitting diode (LED) products. It develops lighting-class light emitting diode (LED) products, lighting products and semiconductor products for power and radio-frequency (RF) applications. The Company's lighting products consist of both LED and traditional lighting systems. The Company designs, manufactures and sells lighting systems for indoor and outdoor applications, with a primary focus on LED lighting systems for the commercial and industrial markets. In addition, the Company develops, manufactures and sells power and RF devices. The Company operates in three segments: LED Products, Lighting Products and Power and RF Products. In August 2011, the Company acquired Ruud Lighting, Inc. Cree is also stepping into the solar-power industry. That should help light up sales and profits for years to come and justifies the stock’s rich price, which amounts to 34 times estimated earnings.


J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) Target Price $19 a share
J. C. Penney Company, Inc. is a holding company whose principal operating subsidiary is J. C. Penney Corporation, Inc. (JCP). The Company’s business consists of selling merchandise and services to consumers through its department stores and through its Internet Website at jcp.com. As of February 2, 2013, the Company operated 1,104 department stores throughout the continental United States, Alaska and Puerto Rico, of which 429 were owned, including 123 stores located on ground leases. It sells family apparel and footwear, accessories, fine and fashion jewelry, beauty products through Sephora inside jcpenney and home furnishings. In addition, the Company’s department stores provide its customers with services such as styling salon, optical, portrait photography and custom decorating.JC Penney are all fine examples of companies ...choice to be the biggest stock percentage mover in 2014. Volatility continues to be name of the game here with sales growth still an issue, tight liquidity, a possible CEO change, and valuation challenges. Sterne Agee has Penney as a Buy-rated stock with an upside potential of 13% and a price target of $19.00. The stock’s P/E ratio for 2014 is negative and the earnings per share (EPS) estimate is expected to be down by 62% after rising 70% in 2013. As the analysts say, “Buckle Up!” So how do you know which stocks are “buy and hold .

NII Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:NIHD) Target Price $5 a share
NII Holdings, Inc. (NII Holdings) is a holding company for the operations of Nextel Communications, Inc. in selected International markets. The Company provides wireless communication services under the Nextel brand. It provides its services through operating companies located in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Peru and Chile, with its principal operations located in business centers and related transportation corridors of these countries. The Company’s networks utilize integrated digital enhanced network, or iDEN, technology developed by Motorola, Inc. to provide its mobile services on its 800 mega hertz spectrum holdings in all of its markets.It agreed to sell approximately 2,790 cell towers in Brazil and another 1,666 towers in Mexico in an $811 million transaction. It will lease them back. It still needs them. But the amount of money raised will provide some welcome liquidity for NII Holdings.NII Holdings also sold its Peruvian operations in a deal for more than $410 million.
The stock took a hit last year after posting declines in wireless customers, but it's gaining ground again. It closed out its latest quarter with 9.9 million subscribers, 100,000 more than it had a year earlier.
Things aren't perfect. The average revenue per user has fallen as NII Holdings kicks in with retention efforts to keep customers around. The mobile provider is also losing a lot of money, and that's not good for a highly leveraged company. The $1.2 billion raised in the two deals equals NII Holdings' market cap, but its enterprise value is north of $5 billion given the substantial debt levels.
However, the welcome liquidity and the long-term prospects for wireless services through Latin America make NII Holdings a risky play with some serious potential upside
In August 2013, NII Holdings Inc announced it has completed sale of its Peruvian operations to Empresa Nacional De Telecomunicaciones SA. In November2013, NII Holdings, Inc sold 1,483 communications sites in Mexico to American Tower Corporation.

Why u should buy Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. ( CMG ) on the dip down ?

I'm along term player in CMG , anything under 300 a share i am buying .Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Chipotle) operate restaurants throughout the United States, as well as two restaurants in Toronto, Canada and two in London, England. As of December 31, 2011, Chipotle operated 1,230 restaurants, which includes one ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen. The Company’s restaurants serve a menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads. The Company manages its operations and restaurants based on six regions that all report into a single segment. As of December 31, 2011, the Company delivered ingredients and other supplies to its restaurants from 22 independently owned and operated regional distribution centers. Chipotle categorizes its restaurants as either end-caps (at the end of a line of retail outlets), in-lines (in a line of retail outlets), free-standing or other i will belooking for the dips down the next 6 - 8 months. CMG has a bright future and cult like guest will keep enjoying CMG food . CMG will need to watch the corn prices the next year or so ,food costs are rising, and fast. Chipotle has temporarily been able to stifle this macro economic set back by raising prices (throughout 2011, thus still showing an impact in 2012's YOY earnings).
In terms of full year inflation, while costs have been relatively stable overall so far this year, the recent extreme weather will likely put pressure on our food costs later in the year and into 2013.

Even Chipotle's management is starting to admit that rising food costs have the potential to be a real problem.However, because of lower same store sales, it's clear that Chipotle realizes it cannot continue to pass these commodity costs off to consumers for much longer.
By not continuing to raise prices in 2012 and try to hedge they food prices on the dips low. If u are looking for the long term this stock will explode to @ least 450 a share by 1 - 2 years from now 75% profit ! sounds yummy to me , buy , buy, buy !!!!
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. ( CMG ) has reported second-quarter 2012 earnings of $2.56 per share, comfortably ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.30 as well as the year-earlier earnings of $1.59. The better-than-expected results were driven by double-digit top-line growth and margin expansion.Chipotle was rolled over like one of its signature burritos after delivering a mixed quarterly report. Earnings and margins came in better than expected, but the quick-service eatery chain missed on the top line despite an enviable 8% spike in unit-level comps

Revenues rose 20.9% year over year to $690.9 million in the reported quarter, based on new restaurant openings and higher comparable store sales (comps). However, reported revenue fell below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $706 million.

Quarter Highlights

Comps grew 8.0% during the quarter on the back of higher traffic and menu price increases witnessed last year. Higher menu prices added about 4.6% in the quarter under review. However, comps slipped 470 basis points (bps) sequentially and 200 bps annually.

The restaurant operating margin expanded 340 bps to 29.2%, attributable to a 100-bp cut in labor, 30-bp drop in occupancy costs and 130-bp decrease in other operating costs and 80-bp slip in food, beverage and packaging costs (as a percentage of total revenue).

Total operating margin expanded to 19.4% from 14.7% in the year-ago quarter, benefiting from lower expenses. General and administrative expenses were 6.1% of revenue, down 120 bps year over year, driven by favorable sales leverage, lower employee bonus accruals and lower legal expenses.

Stores Update

During the quarter under review, Chipotle opened 55 restaurants, including first restaurant opening in Paris, France. The company currently operates 1,316 outlets.

Chipotle has remained largely unruffled by the recent economic slowdown. The company remains on track to open 155-165 new restaurants in fiscal 2012.

Financial Position

Chipotle ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $404.8 million and shareholders' equity of $1,261.2 million as compared with $401.2 million and $1,044.0 million in 2011, respectively.

Guidance

For 2012, the management reaffirmed its outlook of mid single-digit comparable store sales growth.

Our Take

Though the top-line miss by the fast-food restaurant chain came as a disappointment for some investors, we believe Chipotle is well positioned to generate improved earnings, margins and returns on invested capital. With a strong debt-free balance sheet, healthy cash flow, excellent unit economics, strategic international expansion, the successful 'Food With Integrity' program and continued marketing initiatives, we believe that the stock provides relative safety and consistent growth.

Stocks are cheap ? Buy Now or in 2011 ?

With the market down three weeks in a row, investors are understandably grim. But there is a silver lining: Stocks are looking almost as cheap as last year when prices hit 12-year lows -- at least according to Wall Street analysts.




It was easy to miss the development amid news of falling home sales, a drooping dollar and sluggish orders for big-ticket goods. But stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 index now trade at just 11.7 times analyst estimates of operating earnings for the coming year. That is one of the lowest -- read cheapest -- levels for this key figure.



In fact, this so-called price-earnings multiple is roughly back where it stood at the end of March 2009 just as the market was starting an 80 percent surge.



A lot of investors are kicking themselves for having missed that run-up. The question now: Should they jump in now to not to miss another?



Though it's a rough measure of a stock's value, the earnings multiple holds a certain logic. Before buying the corner pizzeria, you would want to know how many years it would take selling pies and sodas to earn your money back. You can do that by dividing the price you'd have to pay for the business by the profit it generates over a year.



So too with stocks. The earnings multiple divides stock prices by annual earnings to tell you, in a sense, the number of years it might take to be made whole on your investment. The nearly 12 years that analysts say it would take if you bought stocks now compares with an average of maybe 15 over the past two decades.Mini Kegerator Refrigerator & Draft Beer Dispenser - EdgeStar



But the faster clip assumes actual profits won't fall short of the projected ones, and some longtime market observers are worried about that.



"Some analysts are projecting earnings will hit an all-time high in a year," says Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at Standard & Poor's. "That would be nice but I wouldn't bet on it."

History suggests he's right to be skeptical.
Mad Money Fund


An April study by McKinsey & Co. of analyst projections over 25 years showed they are almost always too optimistic. On average, analysts estimated that profits would grow at 10 percent to 12 percent annually -- almost twice as much as they actually did.
Mad Money Fund


The two periods when analysts lowballed profit growth were in the early '90s and early '00s when the U.S. was coming out of recession as it is today.



Mason Hawkins, CEO of Southeastern Asset Management, has trounced the market by buying stocks when others are selling, and he's been buying lately. His flagship Longleaf Partners Fund returned 4.9 percent annually in the past ten years versus a 1.6 percent decline in the S&P 500.



To get a sense of whether stocks are cheap, the 62-year-old Hawkins looks at how much of your investment you get back in earnings in a year. Based on analyst estimates, if you bought every Dow stock at Friday's 10,150.65 close, you'd get 11 percent back. Though you're not actually pocketing any cash, that's still a big return. After all, some relatively safe investment-grade corporate bonds are throwing off annual interest of 5.3 percent what you pay for them now. That means you'd get nearly six extra percentage points by holding stocks. Since 1932, the difference in yields between bonds and stocks following big drops in the stock market has been 2.8 percent, Hawkins says.



Translation: You're getting rewarded for the extra risk of investing in stocks.



The catch is that the analysts may be wrong. Despite the onslaught of negative economic news this summer, they have barely reduced their estimates. The current forecast for the S&P 500 is an increase of 46 percent this year, then 14 percent on top of that in 2011. Such jumps would mean profits rising above their all-time high in 2006 during the boom.



Not surprisingly, analysts are equally bullish on individual stocks. There are 9,936 analyst recommendations on stocks in the S&P. More than half, or 5,277, are recommendations to buy the stocks, according to Thomson Reuters.



There are just 508 recommendations to sell.



Of course, you can forget what analysts say and compare stock prices to what companies have actually earned.



A widely respected measure, championed by Yale economist Robert Shiller, is a cyclically adjusted earnings multiple. This multiple recognizes that any one year's earnings may be higher or lower than usual because of the economy, and so it averages them over ten years.



Alas, this paints a darker picture. S&P 500 stocks are trading at 20 times cyclical earnings versus an average 16 going back a century. To get to that average, stocks would have fall another 15 percent.

Buy now on the dips down and hold for a long term play .............

top black friday stock - Game Stop - GME


GME - Game Stop 25.60 a share / Target price 32.00 by 2010.
GameStop Corp. (GameStop) is a retailer of video game products and personal computer (PC) entertainment software. The Company sells new and used video game hardware, video game software and accessories, as well as PC entertainment software, and related accessories and other merchandise. As of January 31, 2009, the Company operated 6,207 stores in the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe, primarily under the names GameStop and EB Games. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, GameStop operated its business in four segments: United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. On April 5, 2008, GameStop acquired Free Record Shop Norway AS. In July 2008, the Company purchased certain assets and Website operations from The Gamesman Limited, a video game and entertainment software retailer, including eight stores in New Zealand
GameStop is offering several of their (non-discounted) games as "Guaranteed In Stock", rather than providing much in the way of a sale tomorrow. Below, I list all of the games that they have available, but you'll notice that they're either only moderately discounted Used titles, or non-discounted New titles.

One deal actually worth mentioning is Left 4 Dead for $30, but many retailers are selling the game for 30-35 tomorrow, making the deal good, but not special. Another item that you should take note of is that GameStop's price on the Wii Motion Plus controller seems to be $5 higher than the average retail price for the accessory, let alone "on sale!"

A small note of advice, which I offer with much respect; used games and systems should probably be given to older gamers. First off, with age comes understanding ("Mommy, why's my PSP scratched?"), and second, younger gamers tend to put more wear and tear on games and systems. Stuff that comes pre-worn-out might not last as long. Please bear in mind, I offer this as advice, and not judgement. The flipside to the "don't buy used gifts" argument is budget and bang for the buck. If you can't get new, you can't get new! That's OK! And while buying used you do get more for your money. But please, know how your children might react before plunking down your hard earned cash. Every kid is different.

Buy 2 Get 1 Free On All Pre-Owned Games and Accessories


When it comes to Black Friday, many stores try to outdo one another with their sales and doorbuster deals. And a lot of stores have now got all their Black Friday deals online, giving people a chance to get a head start on tomorrow.
And Black Friday is probably the best time of year to do your shopping, because the stores do so many great deals then. And if it is deals on video games or games consoles you are looking for, then we may just have a great deal for you.
Gamestop.com has the “Beatles Rock Band” game for the Xbox 360, at a discounted price of $49.99. So if you fancy yourself as a Ringo Starr or even a Paul McCartney, then you may just want to check out this fantastic game.
With “Beatles Rock Band,” you won’t just be watching and listening as the Beatles make rock history, or create landmark records, you’ll be part of the band instead. The songs on the game include “I Feel Fine” and “Paperback Writer.”

I'm thinking very undervalued, great potential.Videogaming isn't going to stop. This company hasn't seen it's best days yet Video game store sales will be up this fall. There are plenty of good games coming out. GME is here to stay. This is one of the only sectors that Wal-Mart cannot sell for cheaper, and thats why I like it. Halo 3 just released. Modern Warfare and Assassins Creed 2 will boost next quarter sales. Parents will do what makes their kids happy. Gamestop makes kids happy ,Recession or no recession gaming trudges on. The price cuts on consoles should help the holiday season as families are more willing to open their wallets this year .games are only increasing in popularity as they move towards central home entertainment units (see xbox 360 with netflix and ps3) and as games become more and more involved (essentially active storytelling that movies alone can't provide). gamestop is the dominant player here .great pe multiple and dominant player in growth industry ,Low P/E, Earnings expected to increase, beginning to uptrend.video games rock , and rocking to a higher share price , this is a long term play !
