    Friday was a poor day on Wall Street, as the Dow Jones Industrials fell 200 points and other major benchmarks lost about 1%. Rising bond yields were a major source of consternation among those following the financial markets, with the 10-year Treasury hitting 2.95% and helping to send mortgage rates sharply higher. Even though earnings season has gone fairly well for many companies, some investors are also starting to realize that political issues are likely to cloud the outlook for the U.S. economy in the coming months, creating more uncertainty that could stymie further market gains. Some bad news affecting individual companies also added to the negative mood. Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE:SWK), ManpowerGroup (NYSE:MAN), and Sage Therapeutics (NASDAQ:SAGE) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.

Top 10 High Tech Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Cheniere Energy, Inc.(LNG)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Tyler Crowe]

    Ask most oil and gas analystsor take a look at industry outlook presentations about liquefied natural gas and you will find one common theme among them: The recent completion of LNG export terminals means there is more supply than demand. If this were the case, then prices of LNG should be low today and Cheniere Energy’s (NYSEMKT:LNG) results wouldn’t be that great. And yet, the LNG export specialist’s most recent results paint a completelydifferent picture. Not only did the company post better than expected results, but management raised its guidance for the second consecutivequarter.

  • [By ]

    The earlier proposed deals — Williams Cos. for the remaining stake in Williams Partners LP and Enbridge Inc. for all outstanding securities in its units — were prompted in part by U.S. regulators ruling in March that MLPs can no longer receive a credit for income taxes they don’t pay, which sent certain stocks on a downward spiral. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and pipeline operator Cheniere Energy Inc. also proposed a deal for the remaining stake in a company it already controls.

  • [By Paul Ausick]

    Each liquefaction train is expected to have a nominal production capacity, before adjustments for planned maintenance, production reliability and potential overdesign, of approximately 4.5 million tons annually of liquefied natural gas(LNG) and an adjusted nominal production capacity of approximately 4.3 million to 4.6 million tons per year of LNG. Cheniere Partners also owns and operates regasification facilities at the Sabine Pass LNG terminal and the Creole Trail Pipeline, which connects the Sabine Pass LNG terminal with a number of large interstate pipelines.

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    What’s unique about this pipeline is that it will hold capacity on Kinder Morgan’s intrastate pipeline systems in Texas, which will enable it to deliver gas to several market hubs, including the ability to export gas to Mexico as well as to global markets via Freeport LNG and Cheniere’s (NYSEMKT:LNG) Corpus Christi LNG facilities. That connection to Cheniere’s facility is worth noting since the company recently approved the construction of a third natural gas liquefaction train that should start up in late 2021 and increase its capacity to ship gas to global markets.

Top 5 Safest Stocks To Watch For 2019

Leave a reply

Virtually all companies talk about innovation. Only a few, like Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), back up their claims with substantive results. But lately, TSLA hasn’t looked like the cocksure organization for which they’re renowned. With shares dropping more than 5.5% on Thursday, investors openly wonder: should I buy Tesla stock? Or is going short Tesla the safest action?

Throughout my time covering TSLA, I’ve generally maintained a positive outlook. Thus, I’m not one to short Tesla. Sure, the stock has a reputation for being wild, even compared to other technology firms. Plus, CEO Elon Musk doesn’t do things the conventional way. The man launched his Tesla Roadster into space. And not just any roadster but his personal ride.

But the company’s (and the founder’s) quirks are what endeared me to TSLA stock. In the ultra-competitive automobile market, you need whatever distinctions you can get. At least, that was what proved successful in the past. But recently, many investors consider TSLA’s “my way or the highway” attitude a liability. Thus, the cries to short Tesla.

Yet despite the massive impact that a broad change to taxes could bring, what drove the biggest gains among individual stocks was company-specific news, and Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (NYSE:FCAU), and Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN) were among the best performers on the day. Below, we’ll look more closely at these stocks to tell you why they did so well.

    Bad news for investors: Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) said production of its bread-and-butter F-150 and Super Duty pickups will be halted due to a fire at a supplier. Ford investors aren’t alone in this pain as General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (NYSE:FCAU) also said some production would be disrupted. Not only do investors have to deal with plateauing sales in the North American market, but developments such as this or perhaps an unforeseen recall deter investors from owning automakers. But just how much could this cost Ford?

Top 5 Safest Stocks To Watch For 2019: ManpowerGroup(MAN)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    Friday was a poor day on Wall Street, as the Dow Jones Industrials fell 200 points and other major benchmarks lost about 1%. Rising bond yields were a major source of consternation among those following the financial markets, with the 10-year Treasury hitting 2.95% and helping to send mortgage rates sharply higher. Even though earnings season has gone fairly well for many companies, some investors are also starting to realize that political issues are likely to cloud the outlook for the U.S. economy in the coming months, creating more uncertainty that could stymie further market gains. Some bad news affecting individual companies also added to the negative mood. Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE:SWK), ManpowerGroup (NYSE:MAN), and Sage Therapeutics (NASDAQ:SAGE) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.

Firms like Robert Half International (NYSE: RHI) and ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) would also benefit from higher wages through the fees the companies collect when they place an employee contract.

The big opportunities in currencies happen at extremes…   That's the moment that you want to consider trading them.   I don't trade currencies that often. But when these extremes materialize, I get in.   We haven't seen many currency extremes lately. But we are about to…   The U.S. dollar has gained roughly 25% in three years against the world's major currencies.   Said another way, the world's major currencies have lost a heck of a lot of ground against the U.S. dollar – in just three years.   Finally, we are approaching extreme levels. We are reaching the point where we will look to get some money outside the U.S. dollar again.   But where are the extremes?   The United Kingdom and Mexico are the obvious choices.

    Times are tough for Ralph Lauren (RL). Profit and sales are fallingat theiconic clothingcompany, and investors who bet on a turnaround havelost their shirts on the stock. Adding to its troubles,CEO StefanLarsson is departingfollowing a creative clash with the companys namesake and founder.

    Pessimism, meanwhile, appears to be on the rise.

    According to a report by the financial analytics company S3 Partners, short interest in Ralph Lauren has risen since the start of the year, hitting historical levels. And while that short position is expected to keep expanding, bearish sentiments could turn on a dime.

    Ihor Dusaniwsky at S3 Partners writes:

    RL short interest levels, already at historical highs today, should continue to grow if the recent trend continues, but having made almost 23% in 2016 and 14% in 2017, short sellers may be quick to cover their positions and lock in profits if RLs stock price turns against them.

    Short interest in Ralph Lauren fell in 2016 as the stock price fella nd shorts covered positions, netting a return of 22.6%. So far this year, however, the short position as increased $226 million, or 38% to $815 million as of this morning, according to the S3 report.

    Its a profitable day for those short sellers. Todays 11% decline Ralph Laurens stock price on an $815 million short position has added $90 million to the short sellers collective bottom line.

    Ralph Lauren is down 11.5% in recent market actions to $77.26 a after earlier falling as low as $76.86 a share. Thats the lowest price for the stock since 2010.

    Look out ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN). And Robert Half International Inc. (NYSE:RHI)? You may want to look over your shoulder as well. A young-and-hungry staffing solutions competitor named Staffing 360 Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:STAF) is coming on strong, and just proved it again today. Some of its preliminary fiscal Q2 numbers were reported today, and they extend what’s become a long-term growth streak.

    The definition of a roll-up isn’t a hard and fast one, though even the broad brush strokes paint a pretty clear picture. Investopedia defines a roll-up (also known as a “roll up” or a “rollup”) a merger that occurs when investors (often private equity firms) buy up companies in the same market and merge them together. Roll-ups combine multiple small companies into something bigger and better to be able to enjoy economies of scale. Private equity firms use roll-ups to rationalize competition in crowded and/or fragmented markets and to combine companies with complementary capabilities into a full-service business.

    It’s also the kind of strategy Staffing 360 Solutions is executing, with great success. For the fiscal quarter ending in November, Staffing 360 Solutions has pre-reported revenue of $47 million, and a gross profit of $8.1 million. Those figures are up 14% and 8%, respectively, year-over-year.

  • [By Bryan Murphy]

    Staffing agencies like Robert Half International Inc. (NYSE:RHI) and ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN) may want to look over their shoulder. Though both are bigger and more established, their size and the waning need for physical, human workers in an increasingly-digital and roboticized world ultimately works against both organizations. That paradigm shift doesn’t matter much to a young, up-coming-staffing agency called Staffing 360 Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:STAF) though. Indeed, the trend of computer-based everything leaves Staffing 360 Solutions in the proverbial cat-bird’s seat. Its fiscal Q2 numbers verify the company is in the right place at the right time.

    Those numbers? Revenue of $47.1 million was up 14%, and gross profits of $8.1 million were higher by 8.4% on a year-over-year basis. Moreover, the net loss of $1.5 million was a marked improvement on the year-ago loss of $3.5 million, and the EBITDA of $1.4 million was about the same. Operating expenses fell from 22% of revenue a year earlier to only 17% last quarter, with more such progress on the way.

    Perhaps most important, Staffing 360 Solutions saw organic growth of 7%, meaning the top line bumped up by that much not because of acquisitions, but because it’s existing divisions expanded their client base and billings by 7%.

    And last quarter’s progress has been the norm for several quarters now.

    While STAF is proving outpacing the growth from bigger names like ManpowerGroup and Robert Half International, it can’t come as a complete surprise. Staffing 360 Solutions is focused on the IT sliver of the staffing industry, connecting companies with the technology-skilled programmers, cybersecurity specialists, and computer networking personnel modern organizations increasingly need.

    There are several data nuggets that point in the same direction, but perhaps none as telling as a recent conclusion from technology research outfit IDC speaks volumes. IDC believes that by the

Top Blue Chip Stocks To Buy For 2017: ManpowerGroup(MAN)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By James E. Brumley]

    It’s not a secret that temporary staffing jobs have been the source for most job growth coming out of the 2008 recession. Employers are fearful of making permanent hires, and this has been a real boon for staffing agencies like ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN) and Robert Half International Inc. (NYSE:RHI).

    There’s a nuance within this growth trend, however, that doesn’t exactly play into the hands of Robert Half International and ManpowerGroup. The bulk of the growth in the temporary staffing arena has been driven by, and will continue to be driven by in the foreseeable future, the burgeoning need for IT staffing, and cybersecurity staffing in particular. This nuance actually plays into the hand of a little-known but fast-growing staffing name Staffing 360 Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:STAF).

    The specifics: In August, TechServe Alliance – an association of IT and engineering staffing companies – reported that the number of IT jobs in the US rose 0.2% in July from June to more than 5.1 million. In hard-numbers terms, that’s growth of only about 10,000 positions.

    The rest of the (amazing) story: Year-over-year basis, IT employment was up 3.5%, with the addition of 173,900 IT workers between then and now.

    It’s the kind of growth that has most other industries, and most workers in those industries, salivating. While those other outfits are swimming on jealousy, Staffing 360 Solutions is working to gain market share.

    Look out ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN). And Robert Half International Inc. (NYSE:RHI)… you may want to look over your shoulder as well. There’s a new player in town, and this small company is getting real big, real fast, and could be about to take a noticeable bite out of a certain segment of your business.

    That up-and-comer is Staffing 360 Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:STAF). It’s only an $11 million company now, whereas Robert Half International is a $4.8 billion outfit and ManpowerGroup sports a market cap of $4.6 billion. Investing is a relative opportunity though, and for current and would-be STAF shareholders, they’re holding a much bigger growth opportunity than owners of RHI and MAN are. Today’s press release confirms it.

    Staffing 360 Solutions is fast-growing staffing firm. Its focal point is IT staffing. This small company is smartly and cost-effectively acquiring its way into a size and scale by converting a fragmented and less-effective (and less profitable) group of similar staffing agencies into a cohesive, more profitable singular unit.

    And it’s paying off – the proof has been in the rising revenue tally over the course of the past couple of years… a rise that’s been outpaced by the broad improvement of EBITDA and income (which is the point of a scale-up).

    The acquisitions, however, have made it difficult to determine if Staffing 360 Solutions was only capable of growth via the purchase of other staffing agencies. Though STAF is doing deals cost-effectively and cost-efficiently, at some point it will have to prove it can grow the top line — and therefore the bottom line — on its own, or organically. The preliminary first quarter revenue number released this morning verifies that Staffing 360 Solutions can indeed grow on its own. See, on a sequential basis, the top line grew from Q4’s $44 million to $47 million in Q1, which ended in August. The last acquisition Staffing 360 Solutions made, however, was completed in N

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer’s Mad Money TV Program, Friday, September 9.

The decline in averages on Friday was prompted by the Fed’s stance on the rate hike. “I want you to be prepared ahead of the Fed’s move. That means taking evasive action, because the reward isn’t worth the risk, at least at these elevated prices. I say another, better time will come and you want some cash ready to take advantage of it,” said Cramer.

If the Fed decides to hold the rate hikes, there may be a 2-3% rally which the investors will miss but it’s worth it in Cramer’s opinion. There will be more opportunities ahead to buy stocks at lower prices and hence investors should be ready with cash.

“Being prepared means selling or trimming not just stocks you’re indifferent to, but even the stocks you like, betting that you can buy them back at a lower level,” he added. Many also think that Brexit volatility is behind us but that is far from the truth. W ith that, he discussed his game plan for the week.

I think they are all based upon the past which changed on Tuesday (US Presidential Election day)’. The FANG group of stocks have lost 2.75% on average (equal weights) since the results of the election were announced, a stark contrast from the 9.7% average gains posted in the YTD up to Nov 8.

  • [By Brian Mathews]

    Arrow Electronics Inc. (NYSE: ARW) is one of the world’s largest distributors of electric components and computer products.
