Special Report: My 10 Picks for how to invest in climate change NOW–3 first 3 picks, LAZR, PLBF and GWH
Here’s how I characterize developments in the global climate crisis in 2023: It was the year when hot air confronted cold cash. And as you might expect cold cash won.
Which gives me the framework for how to invest in the global climate crisis over the next 12 to 24 months. I’m going to use natural gas to develop my investing paradigm. And then I’m going to give you four sectors in which to concentrate your investments. And 10 specific picks for your money. I expect that I’ll be revisiting the topic of how to invest in the global climate crisis again before too long–because I think today’s paradigm will need substantial revision not all that far down the road.
In Part 1 today, I’m going to develop that paradigm. In Part 2 I’m going to tell you why I think nuclear energy, utility scale battery storage, wind and solar are the sectors that deserve your investment cash and attention (and why electric vehicles don’t make the cut now.) In Part 3, I’ll give you the ten stocks and ETFs I’d pick for these four sectors.
Special Report: 10 Great Growth Stocks that Are Getting Greater–today my 10th (and final) pick QCOM
GREATER Growth Stock Pick #10: Qualcomm (QCOM). I think the market and the current stock price are missing a good prt of the growth story for Qualcomm. Which is why I find the stock undervalued enough to buy here. Right now the market disagrees. However, I’ll be adding the stock to my Jubak Picks and Volatility Portfolios on Tuesday, January 16.
Special Report: 10 Great Growth Stocks that Are Getting Greater–today my 9th pick PANW
GREATER Growth Stock Pick #9: Palo Alto Networks (PANW). I’m not going to try to convince you that shares of cyber-security favorite Palo Alto Networks are a value stock. It trades at 166 times trialing 12-month earnings per share. And I’m not going to try to convince you that this is an undiscovered stock that’s going to sneak up on anyone. The shares was up 111% in 2023. (The stock has been a member of my long-term 50 Stocks Portfolio since July 17, 2019. In that time the position is up 296%.) But remember the point of this Special Report–I’m looking for great growth stocks, which aren’t cheap in this market by any means, with catalysts in the next year or two that will push growth higher. And here I think Palo Alto Systems rings the bell three times over.
Special Report: 10 Great Growth Stocks that Are Getting Greater–today my 6th pick Danaher
GREATER Growth Stock Pick #6: Danaher (DHR). Danaher is a smart (that’s key) serial acquirer–and asset divester–in the life sciences space. And that makes this stock very interesting in an environment where small, young life sciences companies might be looking for help/rescue/acquisition because they can’t raise capital in a tough part of the credit cycle. I like Danaher now, as well, because the stock looks to have just about completed its re-rating after a spike in sales during the Covid pandemic led to over enthusiasm about the stock.
Special Report: 10 Great Growth Stocks that Are Getting Greater–My first 8 picks
Here are the first 8 picks for my GREATER Growth Stocks Special Report. More on the way.
Step #8 in my Special Report: Sell DE, CAT and BHP tomorrow
Today I posted Step #8 in my Special Report: 8 Steps to Protect Your Portfolio from the Global Debt Bomb. I recommended selling Deere (DE), Caterpillar (CAT), and BHP Group (BHP) out of portfolios ahead of rising yields i the bond market. (In the case of Deere, I said I would keep my position in my long-term portfolio but sell the position in my 12-18 month portfolio.) Here’s what I posted in my Special Report
Step #7 in my Special Report: Sell GM and Ford sometime between now and December
I added Step #7 to my Special report: 8 Steps to Protect Your Portfolio from the Global Debt Bomb today. And my advice is to sell Ford and General Motors sometime between now and before the December 13 meeting of the Federal Reserve. Here’s what I wrote in that Special Report.
Please note I’ve just posted an update to my Special Report: Your 10 Best Moves for the Rest of 2023
The update to my Special Report: Your 10 Best Moves for the Rest of 2023, Part 2–10 of 10 Moves (revised on 10/22) includes the last one of my 10 picks, plus updated performance numbers for the stocks in the original post.I’m pleased to say that I think the advice is still what I would give today.
Special Report: 10 Contrarian Bargains to Buy Now–My second of 10 Picks is Nidec
Today, October 12, I’m making Nidec, the Japanese company that is the leader in the market for small electric motors and a growing presence in the market for motors and drive trains for electric vehicles, the second pick in my Special Report: 10 Contrarian Bargains to Buy Now.
Special Report: 10 Contrarian Bargains to Buy Now–My first 3 picks are Luminar, Nidec, and Barrick
a lot of individual stocks are cheap right now, I’d argue. 180 of the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 trade now at the same or lower price that they commanded a year ago. And for many individual stocks the performance is even worse. For example, Luminar Technologies (LAZR), a maker of LIDAR safety and navigation equipment for cars, is down 40% in the last three months. Albemarle, the world’s leading supplier of lithium, is off 27% in the last three months. Nidec (NJDCY), a Japanese maker of small electric motors and electric vehicle drive trains, is down 13% in the last three months. I’d argue that these and the rest of the 10 Contrarian bargain stocks that I’m going to recommend in this Special Report share a number of characteristics that have led to their losses over the last few months or longer.
That was quick–fear is back but for how long?
For a few hours on Wednesday, stocks behaved as if the regional banking crisis was over and as if the Federal Reserve was about to not only end its interest rate increases but also begin cutting interest rates. Then Fed chair Jerome Powell reminded investors and traders that a pause in interest rate increases didn’t mean the Fed was about to pivot immediately to cutting interest rates. And investors and traders decided that the regional bank crisis might not be over if PacWest Bancorp (PACW) was exploring “alternatives” and if Western Alliance Bancorporation (WAL) might be looking for a deal. (The bank has denied that speculation.) Today, May 4, the fear is back.
