Top 10 Penny Stocks To Invest In 2018

Leave a reply

While it’s open to debate whether President Donald Trump made America great, the 2016 election did produce one undeniable result: it laid the foundation for cannabis-related businesses, thereby dramatically improving profitability potential for marijuana penny stocks.

During the general election, a record number of states voted for marijuana legalization to varying degrees. Of those voting states, The Washington Post declared that California represents the bellwether. With roughly 12% of Americans calling California home, a major win here would signal greater social acceptance towards cannabis.

Of course, The Golden State voted for full recreational marijuana use, bolstering marijuana stocks. Not only that, this year is particularly important for cannabis-related businesses as generally speaking, Californians no longer have to carry medical “green cards” to purchase their “herbal solutions.” It must be noted that specific regulations vary by city to city; however, the overall regulatory environment has loosened substantially.

Top 10 Penny Stocks To Invest In 2018: Transocean Inc.(RIG)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    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 Paul Ausick]

    Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) dropped about 6.3% Wednesday to post a new 52-week low of $8.68 after closing Tuesday at $9.26. The 52-week high is $6.96. Volume rose to about 50% more than the daily average of about 12 million shares. The company had no specific news, but consolidation in the offshore drilling business is not a positive for Transocean or any other driller still standing by itself.

Sirius XM’s profit of $0.06 a share did beat Wall Street’s bottom-line target.

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.

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.

Many people expect their living costs to drop in retirement, and while this might be true in certain cases, it isn’t always. Healthcare alone can eat up a large chunk of the average retiree’s budget, while other expenses, like housing, food, and transportation can really add up.

Since there’s a good chance you’ll need every penny you can get as a senior, you should know that there’s a relatively simple way to pocket an extra $5,000 each year: Hold off on Social Security benefits.

Increasing your Social Security payments

Though you’re allowed to claim Social Security as early as age 62, your benefits will take a hit if you start collecting them before reaching your full retirement age. Your full retirement age is based on the year you were born, as shown in this table:

    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.

Top 5 Penny Stocks For 2018

Bitcoin prices are the worst nightmare for blockchain critics. After breaking the previously unimaginable $10,000 level, bitcoin plummeted from profit-taking. But soon after, trading normalized, sending bitcoin well above $11,000. However, this robust success represents a quandary: interest for lower-priced “penny cryptocurrencies” has never been higher, yet relatively few know where to turn.

Love it or hate it, the blockchain is here to stay. The broader acceptance of bitcoin prices at five-digits only confirms this bold statement. Unfortunately, cryptocurrencies are still frontier markets. The platforms that serve them are usually unintuitive. Coinbase, the most popular platform, only provides access to buy and sell bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. Even with the addition of Bitcoin Cash next year, these are very expensive digital tokens.

With bitcoin prices to the moon, investors are seeking more approachable ways to profit from the blockchain. Penny cryptocurrencies offer a highly speculative, but potentially rewarding means to ride the euphoria. Since established wallet and exchange services like Coinbase aren’t going to touch penny cryptocurrencies, the broader exchange Bittrex has a tremendous advantage.

Volume rose to about 50% more than the daily average of about 12 million shares. The company had no specific news, but consolidation in the offshore drilling business is not a positive for Transocean or any other driller still standing by itself.

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    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.
