Top Cheap Stocks To Own Right Now

tags:USG,IBM,UNH,SIRI, &l;p&g;Bitcoin&a;rsquo;s advocates claim that it is immune from government control. &a;rdquo;It can&a;rsquo;t be shut down,&a;rdquo; they say. This might have been true in the early days, when Bitcoin could be mined on an ordinary laptop. But in these days of giant mining farms, Bitcoin desperately needs abundant cheap electricity supplies. Without access to abundant electricity, Bitcoin mining can&a;rsquo;t continue, and without mining, Bitcoin is dead. And ultimately, electricity supply is controlled by governments.

Bitcoin&a;rsquo;s desperate need for electricity arises from its Proof of Work (POW) protocol. POW is often described as &a;ldquo;complicated puzzles&a;rdquo; that Bitcoin miners must solve in order to earn the right to verify a block of transactions and claim the mining reward of (currently) 12.5 new bitcoins plus transaction fees. In &l;a href=&q;https://coinsutra.com/hash-rate-or-hash-power/&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;this article&l;/a&g;, for example, the author explains POW thus: &a;ldquo;These computations for finding the blocks are basically mathematical puzzles that a miner cannot just guess without a lot of computation.&a;rdquo;

Top Cheap Stocks To Own Right Now: USG Corporation(USG)

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    Warren Buffett likes to hold his stock positions for the long run, and his experience with USG (NYSE:USG) has been typical of his other long-term investments. The Oracle of Omaha started buying shares of the manufacturer of Sheetrock drywall and other building materials back in 2000, accumulating a sizable stake that has ballooned to more than 30% of the company. USG ended up going through bankruptcy in order to get a handle on its asbestos liability claims, but thanks largely to Buffett's involvement, the building materials company not only survived bankruptcy but also saw share prices soar briefly on hopes that USG would once again fully participate in the then-strong housing boom.

Top Cheap Stocks To Own Right Now: UnitedHealth Group Incorporated(UNH)

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By JJ Kinahan]

    Going into earnings season, one school of thought was that investors might be concerned more about companies’ forward guidance in some cases than in Q1 results. There was worry that perhaps the recent market turmoil and fears of a possible trade war could dampen some S&P 500 firms’ expectations for what the near future might bring. It’s less than a week since earnings began and guidance could still represent a speed bump in coming weeks, but so far it hasn’t been a problem. For instance, UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH) raised fiscal year guidance Tuesday, and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) raised its revenue guidance. In other signs of general good cheer, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) raised its quarterly dividend, while Netflix (NFLX) reported big gains in subscriber growth. It’s still really early and things could change, but maybe some of those guidance fears could have been, shall we say, misguided?

4 Stocks That Look Like They Will Go Higher In The Coming Days

The following five stocks all appear to be headed into downtrends following recent periods of strength. All charts are from VantagePoint, an artificial intelligence platform that utilizes neural networks and intermarket analysis to predict future price action. 

Some things to know about each of the charts below:

They are all 3-month charts, with each candle representing one trading day The black line is a simple 10-day moving average, while the blue line is a predicted 6-day moving average, either 48 or 72 hours in advance.  A crossover of the two lines indicates a trend change. The blue line crossing over the black is a bullish signal, while the black crossing over the blue is a bearish signal Microchip Technology

Microchip Technology Incorporated (NASDAQ: MCHP) had a clear crossover to the upside on May 3, when the blue predicted moving average crossed above the black simple 10-day moving average. Since then the stock is up 17 percent, while the gray candle predicting Thursday's range shows continued upside. As long as the two lines don't crossover, look for this uptrend to continue.

Deckers Outdoor

Deckers Outdoor Corporation (NYSE: DECK) had a definitive crossover on May 7, and since then the stock is up nearly 20 percent. This was followed by a great earnings report announced on May 24, where the company gave fiscal year earnings and sales guidance above Wall Street's estimates. Notably, the trend has gotten much stronger the last few trading sessions.

Sirius XM

Siriux XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) began trading higher on April 19 following a bullish crossover, but the real uptrend didn't begin until May 3. This is an example of how trends can sometimes take several days to take shape, as the upside wasn't immediately apparent. Nonetheless, the stock is trading at its highest levels since 2005. 

capture_482.png

HollyFrontier

HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE: HFC) hit a 2018 low on March 1, but it's been all upside since then. The stock's 88 percent rise in the three months since has made it one of Wall Street's top performers in that span. The company is helping of course, by reporting Q1 earnings well above estimates.
