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…

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…
