If you were ever looking to buy a stock for first time, Trinity Industries $TRN would be a great place to start. The rail car maker is benefitting from strong underlying themes in the oil & gas/ shale market and a recovering U.S. economy. One of the more popular indicators used among investors to gauge…

Boeing $BA has consolidated for a couple of months now since I last wrote about this thing. However, after stellar earnings and healthy consolidation, I think Boeing is finally ready to run; it just needs to clearly get past the $130 resistance mark but, once it does, $140 is the next stop. Boeing’s revenue in…

As the market is expecting to slow in the 1st quarter of 2014, interest rate sensitive names and safe haven plays, like dividend stocks and REITs, have started to gain some interest from investors lately. They were due for an oversold bounce anyway, if nothing else, as the recent new activity of the Fed’s tapering…

I am buying 628 more shares of $MCIG at .798. Electronic Cigarettes (E-CIGs) are estimated to be a 1.2 billion industry in the coming years and I have been buying vaporizer companies as a way to profit off the trend. They provide a unique opportunity for your portfolio; a triple play. Vaporizer companies will be capitalizing…

Utilities and dividend plays have been getting killed as of late due to the fed’s tapering program. However, I think there is some good value left in dividend plays, it just depends on where you look. Annaly Capital was a stock I featured a long time ago on this site and is dirt cheap now (trading at 3x earnings)…

I am buying more Tranzbyte Corp (ERBB) on the 20 day moving average. This play on cannabis dispensaries has a strong technical setup and the underlying fundamentals for the industry continue to improve. In fact, I got an email from Tranzbyte last night about some positive new developments going on within the company. After personally visiting…

Since the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, I have been thinking of the ways I can profit on the historical announcement. You can buy a dispensary, grow the plant yourself, or buy a Papa John’s franchise (Peyton Manning did recently. Was he anticipating higher demand from stoners who have the munchies?) Or, like I always tell my…

If the correction is over, buy stocks that will benefit from an expanding economy and rising interest rates (financials, industrials, & other various cyclical companies). Aero-space/defense stocks (cyclicals) have been on a tear lately from lower fuel costs and restructuring measures (which have completely turned around the airliners). A rising tide raises all ships, so…

3-D printing stocks were real winners in 2013. My Dad got in on DDD at 49 last year and ended up selling out at 89, taking nearly a 100% gain. Not too shabby considering he sat out of the market the entire year, except for that one play. We have all heard about the capabilities…
