Stocks To Buy

Many investors have made money by buying the dip and being greedy while others are fearful. In today’s fearful markets, there are plenty of bargains. But some companies may continue to struggle right now, leading their share price lower. Buying companies who have seen their stock price increase this year may be a better way to go. Those companies that can deliver now can likely continue higher no matter what market conditions develop. Playing to that momentum could fare well. For instance, ...

Some companies are cyclical, seeing customers appear in good times and disappear in bad. Those customers can be individuals, or entities like corporations or governments. Companies that are building out corporate or government contracts right now may not fully book that revenue for some time. But when they do, if markets are looking up, they’ll be rewarded for solid long-term decisions being made today. That’s why investors should find companies ramping up their customer base in the current challenging markets. One company ...

During a boom, companies tend to need more employees or services immediately. So they pay market rates… and often end up overbuilding when the boom comes to an end. Many companies have already started laying off employees, or have held off on hiring new ones. If a company can find a way to do the same level of business (or more) with fewer employees, those lower expenses can lead to a bigger profit. That’s true even if the underlying business isn’t ...

In finance, there’s a concept called elasticity. It shows that some goods won’t see a big drop in demand, even if there’s a big change in price. This can be seen with energy prices, as people have to heat their home and drive to and from work. It’s also plain to see in the food space, as people have to eat. Companies that cater to these demands tend to be steadily profitable, or even improve amid inflation. One such example is Kellogg ...

Price and value aren’t the same thing. A low-priced stock could be wildly overvalued relative to the business’ prospects. And a high-priced stock could still be pennies on the dollar for a great company ahead of a growth kick. In today’s market, the fast drop in price, combined with fear and uncertainty, are creating a number of values for long term investors today… even in once high-flying sectors like tech. One such example is Qualcomm (QCOM). The wireless communications chip manufacturer dominates ...

Markets go up more often than they go down. But investors often forget when in the middle of a bear market. One way to break through the fear is to look at companies that are planning for a bright future now. At a time when many firms are scaling back, those looking forward are likely to best capitalize on the long-term return to rising markets and a booming economy. One example is with Oracle (ORCL). The database giant has embraced cloud services ...

Some stocks deliver slow and steady returns over time that can compound out into a phenomenal profit. Others can be volatile – but that volatility allows investors to earn even more over time, provided they don’t get scared out of a trade. Right now, a number of companies have been taking big hits following earnings. And while it’s scary, separating the companies likely to best rebound from this slowing economy will lead to big returns. Case in point? Amazon (AMZN). The retailing ...
