Top Gold Stocks To Invest In 2018

Leave a reply

"Goldman Joins the China-Equity Bull Party After Missing Rally," a Bloomberg headline said yesterday…   The investing opportunity in Chinese stocks is massive today… It's so important, I launched a new product late last year called True Wealth China Opportunities to take advantage of it.   Morgan Stanley was a bit late to the party, publishing a 100-plus pager called "Why We Are Bullish on China" on February 13 of this year.   Now Goldman Sachs is the latest to get on board. Finally, the big financial firms see the opportunity we've been writing about for months.   And we have more upside ahead…   Property stocks and bank stocks are two of our "big four" themes for investing in China right now.   Now Goldman is catching on… As Bloomberg reported yesterday, "Chinese banks and property stocks are seen extending gains, with Goldman lifting them to overweight and market-weight respectively."

Huge swings like that aren’t uncommon for small companies, but what was unusual was the apparent lack of rationale for the drop.

Rice Energy Inc (RICE) Up, EQT Corporation (EQT) Down on $6.7B Deal

Leave a reply

EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT) has announced that it has acquired Rice Energy Inc (NYSE:RICE) for $6.7 billion.

EQT Corporation (EQT)The new company unites both providers of natural gas to create a new EQT that is in a “position that will be unmatched in the industry,” said Steve Schlotterbeck, EQT’s president and chief executive officer.

He added that Rice makes sense for the company as the company has an “acreage footprint” that is similar to EQT’s existing acreage, making the move “significantly accretive in its first year.

The $6.7 billion price tag was agreed upon after adding up 0.37 shares of EQT common stock and $5.30 in cash per share of Rice common stock. The deal is slated to be completed sometime in the fourth quarter, barring any unforeseen circumstances and pending regulatory approval.

Schlotterbeck added that the company has shifted its focus towards driving its capital efficiency higher through longer laterals, which it will achieve by reducing operating costs per units through operational and G&A synergies. Its sales portfolio will be boosted by the deal, expanding its access to premium markets.

Daniel J. Rice IV, chief executive officer, Rice Energy, said the merger will create the most responsible producer of natural gas out there.

The end result is increased value to shareholders. Rice shareholders benefited quite a bit from the move as RICE stock surged 25.2% on Monday. EQT shares also soared early in the day, before slipping back down 8.8% later in the day.

Top Undervalued Stocks For 2018

“Mors tua, vita mea” (literally “your death is my life) probably was the motto that gladiators, in the ancient Rome, recited before entering in the Coliseum and fighting for their life. Over and above its literal translation, this Latin expression means that what is a damage for one person is often an advantage for another. There can only be one winner in a competition; that is the reason why we can apply it to biotech companies like Merck (NYSE:MRK) and Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY), which are both fighting to gain the lead into immunotherapy market.

In this column, I will introduce these two companies, whose destinies are intertwined and, as Bristol-Myers Squibb is an undervalued stock with great upside potential, I will explain why it could be a good investment. Despite sales could be at risk in 2017, although is not a sure thing, I think it could be worth buying Bristol-Myers Squibb’s shares now.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Yesterday, I dubbed the selloff in auto stocks “car-pocalypse now,” as shares of everything car related tumbled following disappointing auto sales. Shares of General Motors (GM) and Ford Motor (F)? Check. Auto-part makers like BorgWarner (BWA)? Check. Used-car sellers like AutoNation (AN) and CarMax (KMX)? Check. Auto-part retailers like O’Reilly Automotive (ORLY) and AutoZone (AZO)? Oh yeah. So is it time to panic?

  • [By Lisa Levin]

    CarMax, Inc (NYSE: KMX) reported better-than-expected earnings for its fourth quarter.

    CarMax reported Q4 earnings of $0.81 per share on revenue of $4.05 billion. Analysts expected earnings of $0.79 per share on revenue of $3.93 billion.

    The car-shopping experience is a much-hated process for many shoppers, and auto seller CarMax (NYSE:KMX) has aimed to change that for the better through a combination of broad vehicle selection and no-hassle sales methods. That approach has given many people positive views of the company, and coming into its fiscal fourth-quarter report on Thursday, CarMax investors had hoped that the approach would pay off in higher sales and profits. CarMax saw particular strength in its used-car market during the quarter, and that helped produce positive momentum that it hopes will persist into the coming fiscal year.

Report: Eddie Bauer may be put up for sale

Leave a reply

Eddie Bauer may be put up for sale.

Golden Gate Capital, the private equity firmthat owns Eddie Bauer, is reviewing strategic options for the sportswear maker, including a potential sale, Reuters reported Friday.

Golden Gate declined to comment.

Struggling with declining sales and unable to pay its debt, Eddie Bauer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June, 2009. About a month later, Golden Gate won a bankruptcy auction to buy it with a $286 million offer.

But its financial struggles continued as online shopping and competition from discount stores wreak havoc on the brick-and-mortar retail business.

While its brand is well-known, Eddie Bauer, based in Bellevue, Wash.,continues to mark down prices to keep up with competition, and sales and profit margins have suffered, wrote Dan Altieri, an analyst at Moody’s Investors Service, in a note in May.

Sales of Eddie Bauer, which has 370 stores in the U.S. and Can ada, totaled $745 million in the 12 month period that ended on April 1, down 16.5% from fiscal 2012. As of April, it had $3 million in cash.

“Competition is stronger now than it was in the past as a result of numerous companies focusing on the space,” Altieri said.

In May, Moody’sdowngraded the company’s $225 million loan that is due 2020, citing “high” leverage, weak liquidity and “significantly worse than anticipated operating performance.”

In February, 2014, Jos. A. Bank Clothiersagreed to buy Eddie Bauer for $825 million in cash and stock, prompting speculation that Jos. A. Bank pursued the expensive deal only to fend off a takeover attempt by Men’s Wearhouse.

When Men’s Wearhouse agreed to buy Jos. A. Bank a month later, the Eddie Bauer deal fell through.
