A preference for yield: Investng in preferreds
2009-07-30 14:00:00 "Preferred stock has been much in the news over the past 18 months, primarily as the favorite way for cash-strapped banks to raise capital," says Mark Salzinger.In The Investor's ETF Report, he says, "These unusual securities are popular because they offer high yields and have a higher position in corporate credit structure than common stock." Here, he offers a pair of favored ETFs that invest in preferred shares."We caution that preferred stocks also have significant drawbacks that dampen their appeal. Apreferred stock is really more like a fixed-income instrument than an equity security. "Many preferred stocks have a maturity date, and all pay dividends of a set amount each year. Therefore many are not eligible for the 15% tax rate on 'Qualified' dividends; their dividends are taxed as ordinary income, just like the interest on bonds."Unlike common stock dividends, preferred stock dividends generally do not increase ove...
Excelon (EXC): Powered by nuclear
2009-07-30 14:00:00 "No US utility owns more of them than Exelon (NYSE: EXC), with 17 reactors," says Roger Conrad, who chose the stock as his latest "growth spotlight" in The Utility Forecaster."Carbon free and, above all, paid for, existing nuclear plants are among the most prized assets in the power business."Some 80% of company earnings come from its unregulated generation fleet, 90% of which is nuclear. And it’s by far the best-positioned US utility to ramp up nuclear output."Existing brownfield sites are the only places to build the new reactors Washington wants. Exelon has also been masterful boosting efficiency, running its nukes at 92% of capacity or better for a decade. "And it will increase their capacity 20%, or 1,300 to 1,500 megawatts, by 2017, by upgrading plant turbines."Exelon shares took a hit last year and now sell for barely half their July 2008 high.

GEO Group (GEO) A 'steal' in for-profit prisons
2009-07-30 14:00:00 "With state governments going bankrupt, the last thing bureaucrats want to do is spend precious resources on managing their prison systems," explains growth stock expert Marc Lichtenfeld.The senior analyst for Xcelerated Profit s Report suggests, "For-profit institutions are usually able to provide prison services more efficiently than the government can. And there’s one company that stands out -- The GEO Group (NYSE: GEO).""Nearly two-and-a-half million people are behind bars in American prisons. The U.S. incarceration rate is five times higher than the world average and the U.S. prison population is still rising. "The problem here is two-fold. As the economy worsens, not only are social services being cut across the country, it could also trigger a rise in crime, the latter of which will exacerbate prison overcrowding.

Tessera (TSRA): Digital gains
2009-07-29 14:00:00 "If you use a mobile phone with a camera, thank Tessera (NASDAQ: TSRA)," says Mike Cintolo in The Cabot Top Ten Report. "Tessera is the go-to company in miniaturization.""Tessera is one of the companies that drove the price of camera components down by miniaturizing them and combining them on a single chip."You’ll find its technology in MP3 players, video games, wireless phones, computers and numerous other products where companies are forever working to design products smaller and manufacture them more cheaply."But Tessera does very little manufacturing.

Global expert eyes China real estate
2009-07-29 14:00:00 "Claymore/AlphaShares China Real Estate ETF (NYSE: TAO) combines two prominent investment themes in one" says international specialist Nick Vardy in Global Bull Market Alert."Here's why I think this ETF is set to soar over the next few months. First, the fundamental case for real estate in China is compelling. Over the next five years, 1.5 billion square feet of space will be built in China."China is also booming, and is leading the global economy out of recession and looks set to hit its full-year growth target of 8%. Real estate investment already makes up 10.2% of China’s GDP. And that proportion is rapidly growing."Second, the Chinese stock market has been one of the top-performing markets of the world this year, holding up well even through the recent correction. But the real estate sector has been an even more impressive outperformer. "The Shanghai property sub-index has jumped about 160% this year, beating a 75% surge in ... More About: Eyes , Real Estate
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ): A triple A play
2009-07-29 14:00:00 "Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) has vast holdings, but its strategy is simple: Support a deep pipeline of new drugs and medical devices with an aggressive acquisition strategy and cost controls," notes blue chip investor Richard Moroney.In his Dow Theory Forecasts, he adds, "And despite the recession, J&J has kept its financial footing, remaining one of the few companies with the top credit rating of AAA." Here's his long term outlook."This year the U.S. pharmaceutical market is expected to contract for the fi rst time in 50 years as fewer people visit doctors or start new therapies for chronic conditions. "Beyond 2009, an economic recovery should reinvigorate J&J, though it is too early to determine whether health-care reform will help or harm the company.

Bottarelli's bets: A three-fold strategy

In The Energy Strategist, he explains, "The firm will benefit from both the HR 2454 bill (a cap-and-trade system designed to reduce US greenhouse gas emissions) and the stimulus bill which included direct subsidies aimed at promoting efficiency and building a more intelligent electric grid.""Itron is a leading play on energy efficiency and smart grid technologies, a key, near-term component of cutting carbon emissions.

Out of Africa: ETF expert eyes South Africa
2009-07-27 14:00:00 "When most people think of Africa , images of business and commerce don't usually spring to mind -- more like wildlife, safaris and famine," suggests Nathan Slaughter.In The ETF Authority, he explains, "But those perceptions are beginning to change as these countries continue to industrialize. And at the vanguard of this transformation is South Africa ." Here, he looks at the iShares MSCI South Africa ETF (NYSE: EZA)."Once a backwater country shunned by most of the international community, South Africa has made great strides over the past decade and continues to evolve.

Income from the oil sands
2009-07-27 14:00:00 In a review of his energy stock recommendations, Gavin Graham looks to Canadian Oil Sands Trust (OTC: COSWF). Here's his update in Gordon Pape's Income Investor."As I have noted since my first recommendation of Canadian Oil Sands in March 2005, the success of an investment in energy companies depends on the price of oil and gas. "When oil recorded record highs in 2008, reaching approximately US$147 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, oil stocks did well and increased their payouts or expanded their operations. When oil plummeted 77% to about US$33 per barrel, oil stocks cut distributions."Canadian Oil Sands reduced its payout from $1.25 per quarter to 15c between August 2008 and February 2009. "With oil having almost doubled from its lows to US$65 per barrel, it appears these reduced distribution levels are sustainable and there is some feeling that company management has been deliberately conservative to ensure that they do not ...

2009-07-27 14:00:00 Technician Leo Fasciocco is known for finding breakout candidates. But in his Ticker Tape Digest, he also looks for "breakdowns" -- such as a bearish bet on Nokia (NYSE: NOK)."Nokia, based in Finland, produces mobile devices and mobile network equipment and software. Annual revenues are $72.4 billion. NOK's mobile phones provide consumers with voice, video, gaming, navigation, imaging, and music. "The stock recently gapped sharply lower today on massive volume after the company reported disappointing earnings. The company also said it expects lower mobile device sales for the industry this year. This decline occurred on about four times its normal daily volume."NOK reported that net income for the second quarter dropped to 0.10 euro per share from 0.29 a year ago.

Maxwell (MXWL): Bet on a better battery
2009-07-24 14:00:00 "Maxwell Technologies (NASDAQ: MXWL) provides R&D services to the U.S. military and other government agencies; it’s become the world’s leading authority on ultracapacitors," says Timothy Lutts.In The Cabot Stock of the Month report, he explains, "Ultracapacitors are handy little electronic devices that store and release electric energy more efficiently than batteries; they can be 10 times lighter than batteries and store and distribute energy 10 times more efficiently than batteries.""So what are ultracapacitors good for? Today, Maxwell—the primary American ultracapacitor manufacturer—is focusing its efforts on two fast-growing young industries: wind turbines and hybrid/electric vehicles.

Air Products (APD): More than hot air
2009-07-24 14:00:00 "Any company that can consistently create revenue out of air is worth a look," says Jim Stack, referring to Air Products & Chemicals (NYSE: APD).In his always-excellent InvesTech Market Analyst, he explains, "We especially like a company that can create over $10 billion a year in sales… from air (actually industrial gases)." Here, he explains the reasons he rates the shares a 'buy' in his model portfolio."For APD, much of that 'air' revenue comes from the sale of tonnage gases. Tonnage gas delivery involves the on-site or pipeline delivery of hydrogen and other chemicals to oil refineries."Hydrogen is a key component in reducing sulfur content during the refining process, making hydrogen plants adjacent to refineries indispensible to world gasoline supply."APD’s experience and market penetration have given it a nearly 40% market share of global hydrogen capacity – nearly twice that of its neares...

"Domestically, per-capita soft-drink consumption has plateaued and domestic volume growth is generally tough to come by."The story is quite different for many overseas markets, which now account for about 75% of the firm's sales.

"China is moving ahead despite the weak export market it faces. The Chinese equivalent to the ISM surveys -- already in positive territory -- moved further into positive territory in June. Obviously the Chinese stimulus is doing its job."Yet even with China we find the same problem that is plaguing our own markets: valuation. The huge March through May rally has left the Chinese market close to being fully valued."What will propel the next rally? We think the answer lies not in China, but in the US.
