Why Internet Sector Stocks Have Lots More Upside Left / Companies / Internet
By: InvestmentContrarian
George Leong writes: Google Inc. (NASDAQ/GOOG) is up seven-fold from its initial price and could be well on its way to being the first $1,000 stock. Another heavy-hitter is priceline.com Incorporated (NASDAQ/PCLN), at over $700.00 a share and sizzling on the charts. At a new 52-week high, eBay Inc. (NASDAQ/EBAY) continues to dominate the Internet retail space. The commonality between all three of these companies is that they are all leaders in their respective Internet space, based on my stock analysis. There are pundits suggesting the best years for the Internet stocks are now behind us. I don’t believe that.

By: Don_Miller
In one our recent issues subscriber Jory G. sent us the following question:
“I have a 401(k) with my present employer that has a number of investment options, virtually all of which are mutual funds. Is it possible for Mr. Miller to address in a future letter what we might do to maximize growth or minimize loss in such programs? I realize there are many different 401(k) programs out there, but I just feel overwhelmed when trying to decide which of the funds provide the best growth/protection.”

Richard Moyer writes: These days, I await Tesla Motor’s quarterly reports with grim anticipation. I am always guaranteed some unexpected bit of creative accounting, employed to paint a brighter picture than reality would normally provide.
Q4 was no different, offering a rosy picture of 2750 vehicles rolling off the production line, with a Q1 2013 profit just around the corner. The revenue from automobile sales and cost of revenue were balanced, showing a sliver of a profit before R&D and administrative costs.

The Answer to Chinese Pollution and Energy Shortage Problems / Companies / Uranium
By: InvestmentContrarian
Sasha Cekerevac writes: When it comes to making contrarian investments, going against market sentiment might be difficult at first. But the key is to focus on long-term fundamentals with the thesis that corporate earnings will move substantially higher as long as fundamentals strengthen.
One sector that has had quite a bit of negative market sentiment for the past couple of years has been uranium and nuclear power. Following the Fukushima disaster in Japan, nuclear power was put on halt for many nations around the world.

No Dividends Here, but Smartphone Companies Are Where the Future Is / Companies / Mobile Technology
By: Submissions
Moe Zulfiqar writes:
Smartphones and personal gadgets have gained some extra attention these days. With that said, many investors only focus on the makers of these phones, and not on the other things associated with them—such as accessories.
A report by ABI Research, a market intelligence firm, indicated that the market for mobile device accessories will grow at a 10.5% compounded annual growth rate from 2012 through 2017, due to the growth in smartphone sales. (Source: “Aftermarket Mobile Accessory Revenues to Reach $62 Billion by 2017 as Market Value Moves to Smart Accessories,” ABI Research web site, November 14, 2012, last accessed February 28, 2013.) The firm expects revenues for mobile device accessories to reach $62.0 billion by 2017.

7 Dividend Stocks with 50+ Year History of Increasing Payouts / Companies / Dividends
By: Money_Morning
As Money Morning Executive Editor Steve Christ told us this week, finding solid dividend stocks in different sectors is a key to finding financial freedom, thanks to compounding.
"This compounding effect arises when your dividend yield is added to the principal. From that moment on, the interest begins to earn interest on itself," explained Christ. "Over the long haul, that process can add up to a small fortune - even with very modest investments. All it takes is time."

Massive Investor Profit Potential from 3D Printing / Companies / 3d Printing
By: Money_Morning
Michael A. Robinson writes: When I first started writing about 3D printing, most investors viewed it as a futuristic "gee-whiz" concept - and had no idea it was actually a "here-and-now" technology they could make money on.
And the mainstream news media didn't seem to know that this 3D technology even existed.
Today, as you know, many of the 3D stocks (including some that I've identified) have soared ... and then fallen back to earth. Some pundits claim this was nothing but hype - or another tech bubble that now has burst.

Investing in Dividend Aristocrats, Where Have All The Bargain Stocks Gone? / Companies / Dividends
By: Charles_Carnevale
By now, it should be no secret to anyone that the stock market has been on a nice run of late. Moreover, this Bull Run has conjured up a lot of discussions that might lead one to believe that stocks in general are overvalued. There are even some that want to play the bubble card because they argue that the S&P 500 and/or the Dow Jones Industrial Average are both approaching all-time highs. However, I believe these extremists are confusing value with price.
Investors need to understand and recognize that both a company and/or an index can be trading at an all-time high price, while at the same time be trading at a reasonable or even a low valuation. Additionally, there can be more than one reason for this to occur. For example, if earnings are at an all-time high, the price can also be at an all-time high while the PE ratio is lower than historical norms. Another iteration can manifest because the stock or index was once previously trading at an extreme overvaluation, while it is now fairly valued.
