One of the biggest mistakes a person can make when investing in the stock market is forgetting about a past winner. For whatever reason, it’s human nature to take that 10%-20% gain in a stock rather than risk the chance of losing it. When you take gains prematurely in a position, you lose valuable time…
So, we have the stock market hitting all-time highs again and unemployment falling from 6.3% to 6.1%. This means “all systems are go,” in my book, and you should buy stocks on any dip. The question is now, what do you buy? Yes you want industrials, financials, and technology stocks in a rising rate environment…
I usually prefer not to buy retail stocks; too volatile a sector for me. But Target $TGT, however, is one big-box retailer worth looking at to potentially add to the portfolio. TGT’s valuation of 19x earnings is attractive. It is currently trading at 58.00 a share (nearly 40% off its highs) making valuation alone a…
Cheniere Energy $LNG has haunted my dreams ever since I saw its stock price at $30.00 and missed the train. I never pulled the trigger on buying it, and now the liquefied natural gas play is at $70.00. There is no use in crying over spilled milk, I know. But this energy play still has…
I never do well with Apple (AAPL), every time I buy it I seem to get shaken out. It always leaves me with bitter feelings, especially when I see its ticker scroll by on CNBC in the green. I love it in the red. I always say to myself, when $AAPL gets cheap enough to…

If you are an avid follower of Wsss.com, you would know that I like technology names because of their positive correlation to an expanding economy (remember that industrials, tech, and finance should all be owned in a rising rate environment). However, anything growth related has been hammered lately as investors are taking risk off the…
The theme for 2014 has been to own industrials, financials, and technology, as anything interest rate sensitive should benefit from an expanding economy and higher interest rates. Last year, industrials like Caterpillar $CAT, lagged the broader market on growth concerns. However, since investors are looking for bargains in 2014, a best of breed name in…
Fertilizer companies have been despised for quite some time now. Potash ($POT), however, has likely put in its bottom for the year. With investors searching for yield, $POT will surely experience buying interest as it boasts over a 3% dividend and is demonstrating strong technical strength. Potash ($POT)is above all of its moving averages and…
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…
