By Greg Daugherty, Next Avenue Contributor 

Nearly 60 years ago, a writer calling himself Bob Belmont published a modest little book with an immodest title: How to Retire Without Money! You arent likely to find it in your library, but you might come across a copy at a used book sale, as I did recently. I think I paid a quarter for it and it was worth every penny.

Today, with nearly half of U.S. households reporting zero retirement savings, according to the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute, Belmonts book seems decidedly ahead of his time; Ill share five of his ideas shortly, with some appropriate updates for 2017.

    There are a lot of people betting against Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI)these days, even as the stock is hitting 10-year highs. There were 280.1 million shares of Sirius XM sold short at the end of 2016, just below the late-November peak of 285.1 million shares but nearly double the short interest that we were seeing a year ago.

    The market didn’t exactly jump for joy with Sirius XM Holdings (NASDAQ:SIRI)following its first-quarter results on Wednesday. Revenue rose 6.3% to hit $1.375 billion, in line with analyst expectations but the satellite radio provider’s weakest top-line growth since 2011.Free cash flow, operating cash flow, and earnings grew even faster, up 31%, 34%, and 40%, respectively. Sirius XM’s profit of $0.06 a share did beat Wall Street’s bottom-line target.

    Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) is a company that thrives on of new car sales. If you have had satellite radio and are not solely reliant on what you get for music in streaming or your library, then chances are pretty good that you won’t want to go back to just having old-fashioned FM/AM radio.

  • [By Rick Munarriz]

    Sirius XM Holdings (NASDAQ:SIRI)is gearing up for a big earnings announcement this week. The satellite radio provider reports first-quarter results before Wednesday’s market open, and a lot is riding on its financial performance. Sirius XM has been one of the market’s biggest winners since bottoming out at $0.05 — yes, a nickel — in 2009. The stock is now a 127-bagger, and it hit a new 12-year high just last month.

Similar to most of the top players in the consumer packaged goods industry, Conagra Brands (CAG) has witnessed its volumes decline, bringing revenues down with it. The company did post net revenues of $2.17 billion during the second quarter, a healthy growth rate of 3.8%, but a single quarter of growth is certainly not a trend, and how Conagra performs over the rest of the year will play a huge role in the company’s valuation.

But despite difficult conditions in the retail segment, the market seems to be in a positive mood about Conagra’s prospects. The stock has been on steady climb since September 2017 but is CAG a good buy at the current price point and is it a great a long-term investment? These are the questions I’d like to answer.

This is certainly not a great time to be a consumer packaged goods company. On the one end, competition is increasing by the day, and on the other, retailers are trying to squeeze every penny they possibly can from their margins. As if the twin problems weren’t enough, there is also the “I want to eat healthy” trend that has taken a big bite out of large consumer goods companies’ product lines, forcing them to rethink and restructure their portfolios. Gone are the days when consumer goods companies were automatically considered as part of every investor’s portfolio due to their defensive nature.

    Advance Auto Parts (AAP) surged to the top of the S&P 500 today after releasing better-than-expected third-quarter earnings.

    Getty Images

    Shares of Advance Auto Parts gained 15% to $164.33, while the S&P 500 rose 0.8% to 2,180.39.

    Credit Suisse analyst Seth Sigman and team explain why shares of Advance Auto Parts are soaring:

    Advance Auto Parts’ Q3 and strategic update was one of the better scenarios for this stock with better than expected comps, positive commentary on Q4, a roughly in line 2017 outlook, and a new sense of direction on how this new management team will narrow the margin gap with peers. Management guided to a 500 bps long-term margin improvement, which wasnt a surprise to investors, and other specifics were still limited. However, timed with Q3/4′s improvement, this should help instill some early confidence in this team. We are adjusting our 2016 and 2017 EPS modestly, to $7.30 (from $7.23) and to $7.65 (from $7.60) respectively.

    Advance Auto Parts market capitalization rose to $12.1 billion today from $10.7 billion yesterday.

Also some similarity with Neo Lithium’s (OTC:NTTHF) [TSXV:NLC] early stage Argentinean brine project which I recently wrote about here. However, ILC trades at a much smaller market cap of US$8m to that of Critical Elements (US$85m) or Galaxy Resources (US$724m). This is partly due to ILC giving away significant percentages of their projects, and because they are still in the early stages of development.

Hot Low Price Stocks To Own Right Now

Many stocks have been beaten down to very low prices due to tax selling, creating bargain basement opportunities, suggests Fred Fuld, editor of stockerblog.

In fact, looking at stocks that are selling below cash is one the way to go to make profits. Here is what it means when a stock sells below cash per share.

First, assuming the company has no debt, you take the amount of cash that the company has in the bank and divide it by the outstanding number of shares. That represents the cash per share.

If a stock is trading for less than that amount, it is a bargain, because if the company went out of business immediately, everything would be liquidated and disbursed on a per share basis.

Even if all the company’s inventory, equipment, and real estate were worth nothing, all that cash would provide the investor with a profit.

    In addition, the company announced that it has agreed to acquire a steel plant in Brazil from ThyssenKrupp (NASDAQOTH:TYEKF) for $1.3 billion. While that plant has had its share of problems in the past, Ternium is getting it for a good value, and it has upside potential. The company paid slightly less than five times EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) for the facility.

Hot Low Price Stocks To Own Right Now: SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. (WNDW)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By SEEKINGALPHA.COM]

    SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:WNDW) is another third-party currently engaged in research and development to incorporate one of GLW’s glass products in an innovative manner. WNDW, a leading developer of transparent electricity-generating coatings for glass windows and flexible veneers, announced its plan to develop electricity-generating flexible glass. In particular, WNDW’s scientists and engineers recently applied layers of its liquid coatings onto GLW’s Willow Glass and laminated them under conditions that simulate the high pressure and temperatures of the manufacturing processes used by commercial glass and window producers. The result was a bendable glass “veneer” which generates electricity. WNDW anticipates installing these sheets of electricity-generating glass veneers over existing office tower windows, turning buildings into vertical power generators and helping decrease their carbon footprint. The company also believes that such veneers could be applied to flat and curved surfaces on automobiles, trucks, buses, airplanes, and boats to generate onboard electrical power. WNDW’s veneer products are being developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory in an effort to commercialize WNDW’s products. While we saw no specific timeline for when WNDW would offer its products incorporating Willow Glass, we are once again excited by this innovative use of a GLW product.

    NRG Energygained 4.5% to $12.85 today, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.2% to 2,262.53.

    In a note released on Dec. 15, Morgan Stanley’sStephen Byrd and team summarized the reasoning behind their overweight rating on NRG:

    NRG Energy (NRG, Overweight, $21 PT) FCF/Equity yield of ~35% and balanced upside from diversified market exposure, higher PJM capacity prices, fleet optimization, and debt reduction. NRG’s generation plus retail matching strategy is an underappreciated source of value, and provides stable cash flow despite current depressed power prices in Texas.

    NRG Energy’s market capitalization rose to $4.1 billion today from $3.8 billion yesterday. It reported a net loss of $6.4 billion on sales of $15 billion in 2015.

&l;p&g;The last time that Apple provided EPS guidance was in 2012. Starting with the first fiscal quarter in 2013 it has been giving revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, other income and tax rate guidance but not EPS. It also started giving ranges vs. single data points for revenue, gross margin and operating expenses. &l;em&g;(Note that I own Apple shares and have sold Put options).&l;/em&g;

The only component needed to determine what EPS or a range of EPS that the company is expecting is what share count to use. However, this can be projected so it is possible to calculate what EPS Apple is looking for. Additionally, the share count assumption has to be off by about 20 million for it to change the EPS estimate by a penny, so it doesn&a;rsquo;t impact the result by very much, if any, if it is off the mark.

5 p.m. Update: Apple stock slipped more than 2% in after hours tradingas the Q4 AAPL earnings disappointed Wall Street despite higher-than-expected iPhone sales.

Appleearned $1.67 a share in its fiscal Q4, one penny higher than the consensus analyst forecast. Revenue was $$46.9 billion, just short of the forecast for sales of $46.94 billion. However, the Q4 Apple earnings were down 14.8% from the same period a year ago. Revenue was off 8.93% year over year.

Despite conflicting predictions, the iPhone 7did well enough to push total iPhone sales above expectations. Sales of the iPhone brought in $28.16 billion, edging the forecast for sales of $27.78 billion.

That bodes well for the current quarter, when Apple traditionally sells the most iPhones.

Other good news in the AAPL earnings was guidance for the current quarter. Apple forecast revenue of $76 billion to $78 billion, well above the $74.9 billion analysts had been expecting.

On the negative side, Mac and iPad sales both continued to slide. Both segments came in below expectations.

Every week, I compile a table of all U.S.-listed stocks with dividend yields of 10% or higher. Some of the names come and go, while others reappear time and again. I’ve become familiar with many of them, and can safely say that the list is dominated by tiny companies with market caps between $50 million and $300 million.

One tiny blockchain stock could secure Canada’s $8.7 BILLION cannabis market. BUY shares today for less than $1.00! Shares could rocket 818% higher when news gets out. Click here ASAP.

Some of these are even smaller nano-caps, such as medical device maker Digirad (Nasdaq: DRAD), whose entire market value is just $36 million.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with small businesses. I own shares of quite a few in my personal account. But for the most part, I use them to fill out the growth sleeve of my portfolio and don’t consider them stable income producers.

Top Penny Stocks To Watch For 2018: Transocean Inc.(RIG)

Advisors’ Opinion:

Volume rose to about 50% more than the daily average of about 12 million shares.

    The stock market lost ground on Monday, sending major market benchmarks lower by more than half a percentage point. The Dow lost its grip on the 20,000 mark in the wake of concerns about economic growth and new U.S. immigration policy, and some believe that the broader geopolitical climate could have a negative impact on global commerce that in turn could start affecting multinational corporations’ business prospects. In addition, bad news from some individual companies weighed on the markets, and Transocean (NYSE:RIG), Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD), and New Gold (NYSEMKT:NGD) were among the worst performers on the day. Below, we’ll look more closely at these stocks to tell you why they did so poorly.

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    On Mar. 2, Transocean (RIG), just seven days after reporting earnings, announced that it would delay filing its 10-K. the timing, particularly for use at Barron’s, wasn’t great, as we had just recommended the stock in the magazine. Still Transocean’s shares weathered the news–it fell only 1.1% on that day–and now the 10-K has been filed. What does it show? RBC’sKurt Hallead andMatthew McKellar explain:

    Agence France-Presse/Getty Images

    RIG has filed its 10-K, which contains details and adjustments related to its previously disclosed tax accounting issues. Certain adjustments for immaterial errors related to accounting for operating items and items such as depreciation, interest income, and loss on impairment and disposal of assets have also been made.

    Adjustments to FY15 have increased income from continuing operations by $71mn, and net income attributable to controlling interest by $74mn. For FY15, adjustments have decreased loss from continuing operations by $66mn and decreased net loss attributable to controlling interest by $74mn.

    Shares of Transocean have dropped 2.1% to $12.78 at 2:33 p.m. today.

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Shares of Noble have jumped 12% to $7.41 at 2:58 a.m. today, and it’s success has helped boost offshore drillers across the board. Transocean (RIG) has advanced 1.6% to $13.41, Ensco (ESV) has gained 5.8% to $10.73, and Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO) has risen 4.5% to $17.43.

Hot Penny Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Finding hidden gems in the stock market is every investor’s dream. Those stocks with massive upside potential that no one is paying attention to yet are like needles in the market’s haystack of investible names.

Many times these diamonds in the rough are found in the small-cap market.

Small-caps are public companies with a market cap of roughly $300 million to $4 billion. Above $4 billion, a company moves into the mid-cap category. Below $300 million, a company is considered to be part of the micro-cap or even penny stock segments.

The small-cap sector is indeed the sweet spot of the stock market. While penny stocks and micro-caps have greater volatility, and therefore more potential, the risk factor is just too high for most conservative investors. Despite recently lagging, the small-cap market is well known for outperforming the overall market in the long term.

I have identified three under-the-radar small-cap stocks boasting colossal upside potential:
