Top 10 Blue Chip Stocks To Invest In 2019

European Pressphoto Agency

An upbeat reading on U.S. retail sales isn’t enough to keep U.S. stock indices from tanking today. The Dow dropped more than 200 points in late afternoon market action.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.19% and the S&P 500 fell 1% while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.6%.

Energy and financial shares in the S&P 500 led the declines with the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) and the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) falling 1.5% and 1.3%respectively.

Stock indices have fluctuated severely this week. The Dow posted its biggest gain since March on Tuesday, only to record its worst fall since Feb. 11 the next day. As of now, the blue chip index is poised to record its third straight weekly loss.

Investors are facing a variety of overhangs, from cloudy expectations for corporate earnings to next month’s Federal Reserve meeting and the UK is poised to vote on whether to exit the European Union.

Top 10 Blue Chip Stocks To Invest In 2019: Cameco Corporation(CCJ)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
A steep drop in the price of uranium has punished uranium miners like industry giant Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ). However, the company’s conservative approach has allowed it to weather this difficult stretch in relative stride, with its uranium contracts giving it financial leeway that many peers simply haven’t had.
[By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
The point here is that just because a company isn’t technically in the energy sector doesn’t mean that the energy sector isn’t an important area to monitor. As another example, a supply demand imbalance in the uranium market is wreaking havoc on Cameco Corp. (NYSE:CCJ) as low commodity prices make turning a profit increasingly difficult. This is partly being driven by overproduction on the mining side of the business, but also by the demand side from utility customers. Demand for nuclear power fell off after the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster in Japan even though long-term construction trends in places like China and India suggest it will recover in the future.
[By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
Shares of Cameco Corp. (NYSE:CCJ) are down nearly 80% from highs they reached in the mid-2000s. Falling uranium prices have been the primary reason for the decline, since this giant Canadian uranium miner is strictly focused on the nuclear fuel. At this point, there doesn’t appear to be a dramatic and imminent upturn in the uranium market’s future. However, it looks like Cameco is taking all of the right steps to get its mojo back when prices do start to turn higher. Here’s what you need to know before you buy Cameco stock.
[By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
Being a uranium miner hasn’t been easy lately, with the spot price of the nuclear fuel hovering near 14-year lows. It’s no wonder, then, that Cameco Corp. (NYSE:CCJ), the largest publicly traded uranium miner in the world, has seen its shares fall more than 70% over the past decade. Earnings results, meanwhile, have dipped into the red over the last two years. Believe it or not, however, there’s a bright side to all this bad news. Here’s what you need to know.

[By Shane Hupp]
Shares of SCANA Co. (NYSE:SCG) have received a consensus recommendation of “Hold” from the twelve research firms that are currently covering the company, Marketbeat reports. Three investment analysts have rated the stock with a sell recommendation, six have issued a hold recommendation and two have issued a buy recommendation on the company. The average 12 month target price among brokerages that have issued a report on the stock in the last year is $43.75.
[By Matthew DiLallo]
Aside from checking on whether the company achieves that aim, there are two other items investors should keep an eye on in the second half of the year. First, the company continues to make progress on its proposed merger with SCANA (NYSE:SCG). Shareholders of SCANA recently voted in favor of that transaction, and Dominion has won the approval of several regulators, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Federal Trade Commission, and the state of Georgia. However, the company still needs to get permission for the deal in North Carolina and South Carolina, with the latter one being a key sticking point due to SCANA’s failed nuclear plant in the state. While Dominion has offered several concessions in the deal to win over both customers and legislators, it might not be enough since the state wants an even bigger rate reduction. The company remains optimistic that it can close the deal by the end of this year, though it’s unclear if that will happen.

Top 10 Blue Chip Stocks To Invest In 2019: Energy XXI Ltd.(EXXI)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Dan Caplinger]
The stock market was mostly higher on Monday, with market participants celebrating favorable economic news on the consumer front and looking forward to another round of positive earnings reports when third-quarter earnings season starts early next month. Tax cuts have helped corporate earnings throughout 2018, and that’s generally helped to lift the overall market. Yet even with several major market benchmarks at or near record levels, some stocks weren’t able to participate in the gains today. Brown-Forman (NYSE:BF-B), Acorda Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ACOR), and Energy XXI Gulf Coast (NASDAQ:EXXI) were among the worst performers on the day. Below, we’ll look more closely at these stocks to tell you why they did so poorly.

Related UNG Does Being An Oil Bear Make You A Nat Gas Bull? What's Next For Nat Gas? Citi Sees Chance For 'Higher Peaks'

Following the arrests of 11 princes and four ministers in Saudi Arabia, oil commanded most of the headlines in the energy patch Monday. However, some traders aren't overlooking natural gas. The United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSE: UNG) jumped 4.7 percent on volume that was more than double the daily average.

Monday's pop trims UNG's year-to-date decline to about 30 percent, a tumble that underscores the status of natural gas as one of this year's worst-performing commodities.

Shares of Cameco Corp. (NYSE:CCJ) are down nearly 80% from highs they reached in the mid-2000s. Falling uranium prices have been the primary reason for the decline, since this giant Canadian uranium miner is strictly focused on the nuclear fuel. At this point, there doesn’t appear to be a dramatic and imminent upturn in the uranium market’s future. However, it looks like Cameco is taking all of the right steps to get its mojo back when prices do start to turn higher. Here’s what you need to know before you buy Cameco stock.

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ), the largest publicly traded uranium miner, has been struggling along with the moribund price of the nuclear fuel it mines. The stock is down over 70% since commodity markets started to tumble in 2011. The early 2016 commodity upturn, meanwhile, has seemingly left uranium behind. Investors have ample reason to worry, but for more intrepid stock buyers, Cameco’s low stock price could be a long-term opportunity.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) , Citigroup Inc. (C) Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) and BlackRock Inc. (BLK) reported first-quarter earnings on Thursday and Friday. Here are five things the reports show about the economic impact of President Donald Trump’s tax cuts and how the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate hikes are affecting consumers.
[By Keith Fitz-Gerald]
Here are just a few of the companies we’ve discussed:

Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA): China is Team Musk’s second-largest market, with sales of more than $2 billion there in 2017 alone. Shorting a company like Tesla right now might prove to be full of profit potential. In fact, premium subscribers were recommended just that at a time when the stock was moving down in the past, and they had the opportunity to close out on two legs of the same trade for a total of 121.41% gains. Just click here for more information about this strategy. BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK): CEO Larry Fink laid out why China is a critical priority in his company’s 2017 annual report, citing the same three primary “Unstoppable Trend” subsets we prioritize when it comes to the Red Dragon as being the driver… demographics, economic, and regulatory shifts. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA): The e-commerce giant is the only company capable of giving Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) a true run for its money and – gasp – potentially winning the fight. It’s working on a plan to list shares in mainland China, not Hong Kong, as many people believe and as has been widely reported. This could immediately unlock a huge pool of captive money that could double shares when Chinese investors have access through a secondary listing.

Tactically, though, the situation is very different.

Top 10 Bank Stocks To Buy Right Now: Southern Company (SO)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By ]
The Southern Company (NYSE: SO) is quickly transforming itself from a mostly coal-generated utility to one powered by nuclear, natural gas, and other renewables. The company enjoys a state-regulated monopoly position in four states which together account for approximately 80% of earnings.
[By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
My timing, however, isn’t always so good, and I sometimes get in too early. But owning a great dividend-paying company at a fair price is better than owning a bad company at any price. Which is why I’m happy to have bought U.S. utility giant The Southern Company (NYSE:SO) and healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT) Ventas, Inc. (NYSE:VTR). And I’ll be just as happy if they fall further from here.
[By Paul Ausick]
The Southern Co. (NYSE: SO) traded down about 1.9% Thursday and posted a new 52-week low of $45.08 after closing Wednesday at $45.96. The 52-week high is $53.51. Volume was about 5.4 million, about 15% above the daily average of around 4.8 million shares. The company had no specific news Thursday.

Top Casino Stocks For 2019

Earnings season can be one of the most lucrative times of the year for stock traders.

Just take a look at Money Morning Quantitative Specialist Chris Johnson’s track record.

He banked a 224% profit on Best Buy Co. (NYSE: BBY) after its May 2017 earnings report, 151% on Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE) in May 2017, and another 100% gainer in only 18 days after Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) reported earnings in August 2017.

And that’s just the beginning of the earnings play potential with Chris’ “Share Score.”

For untrained investors, options trading can be like placing a bet in a Vegas casino. You think the stock is going to move a certain amount higher or lower, and you put your money behind your prediction.

But that’s not the case with Chris’ system.

Chris identifies stocks with the potential to pop that hapless traders are betting against. Then he cleans up.

And earnings season is the perfect time to use his strategy.

Top Casino Stocks For 2019: Cameco Corporation(CCJ)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By Peter Graham]
This morning before the market opened, uranium producer Cameco Corporation (NYSE: CCJ) reported Q1 2018 results which should be looked over by investors in other potentialuranium players like small cap Azincourt Energy Corp (TSX-V: AAZ; OTCMKTS: AZURF) as CCJwould be one of the worlds largest uranium producers, a significant supplier of conversion services and one of two Candufuel manufacturers in Canada.

Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) and Abtech (OTCMKTS:ABHD) are both basic materials companies, but which is the better investment? We will compare the two companies based on the strength of their analyst recommendations, risk, profitability, dividends, valuation, institutional ownership and earnings.
[By Reuben Gregg Brewer]
Cameco Corporation (NYSE:CCJ), the largest publicly traded uranium miner, has been struggling along with the moribund price of the nuclear fuel it mines. The stock is down over 70% since commodity markets started to tumble in 2011. The early 2016 commodity upturn, meanwhile, has seemingly left uranium behind. Investors have ample reason to worry, but for more intrepid stock buyers, Cameco’s low stock price could be a long-term opportunity.

Top 5 Low Price Stocks For 2018

Dr. Kent Moors

A few years ago, in one of my books (“The Vega Factor”), I coined a phrase to explain the new way in which oil pricing was unfolding, along with the uncertainty resulting from it.

Then, the market was facing rising crude topping $100 a barrel.

Now, the situation finds oil rising into the mid-$60s after a bout of abnormally low prices.

The phenomenon described, however, applies to oil moving in either direction.

I called it “Oil Vega.”

Simply put, it refers to the increasing inability to determine the true value of crude oil based on its market price.

Now, there is a reason why I’m revisiting this phrase now.

You see, I am close to putting the finishing touch on a new investment tool that identifies stocks based on this phenomenon.

And today, I want to give you a sneak peek at one of its main components…

Top 5 Low Price Stocks For 2018: W&T Offshore Inc.(WTI)

[By John Bromels]

Top 5 Low Price Stocks For 2018: Time Warner Inc.(TWX)

Advisors’ Opinion:

[By WWW.THESTREET.COM]
That’s old-fashioned TV mated with born-again 2017 e-commerce. And then the almost-circular question of where that aging behemoth — television — may fit in. It’s the same digital/TV puzzle being worked at Comcast’s (CMCSA) NBCUniversal, with its BuzzFeed/Vox investments, and at Time Warner’s (TWX) Turner through its Mashable investment.
[By WWW.THESTREET.COM]
In early 2018, Viacom plans to change the name of Spike to the Paramount Network to better link its film studio with its cable TV business and expand its programming to reach a wider audience, something that Time Warner (TWX) has done over the past two years with TNT and TBS. Bakish also said that half of Paramount’s film slate would originate from Viacom’s television properties.
[By Matthew Briar]
The phrase “over the top television” or “OTT” for short, aren’t exactly new terms. The phrase/abbreviation was coined shortly after Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) became a viable alternative to traditional cable television subscriptions a little less than a decade ago. The over-the-top battle didn’t get heated, though, until the past few months. But, now that some more gladiators are in the arena, sparks are starting to fly.

They’re still flying too, and should do so for a while if a small startup called Viva Entertainment Group Inc (OTCMKTS:OTTV) has anything to do with it it. See, while Netflix, Hulu — jointly owned by Time Warner, Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) and Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (NASDAQ:FOXA) — and a whole slew of other new players in this market may want to take notice of this up-and-comer. At the same time, investors may want to take a step back and look at where the real money in the OTT business is going to be made over the course of the next several years. OTTV plays a prominent role in that picture.

Contrary to popular belief, Netflix isn’t the dominant name it used to be in the Internet-delivered television industry. Yes, it was the first on the scene as such was was able to carve out the biggest piece of the market. It’s largely become a commoditized business in the meantime though.

For example, outside of Hulu and Netflix, CBS Corporation (NYSE:CBS) has jumped into the fray with a service called CBS All Access. The product allows subscribers -for a nominal monthly fee – access a variety of CBS programming via the Internet. HBO, from Time Warner Inc (NYSE:TWX), has found some measurable success with its subscription-based Internet television service called HBO Go.

Sling TV, from DISH Network Corp (NASDAQ:DISH), is another one of the alternatives to the alternative that’s truly made a dent in the over the top market…. by aggregating a variety of television channels into an entire package and then selling that p

The phrase “over the top television” – or its acronym “OTT” – aren’t necessarily newly-coined ones. The phrase/abbreviation materialized shortly after Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) became a viable alternative to traditional cable television services less than a decade ago. The over-the-top race didn’t really heat up, however, until the past few months. Once it did heat up though, sparks started to fly in earnest.

They’re still flying too, and will be for a while if a small startup called Viva Entertainment Group Inc (OTCMKTS:OTTV) has anything to say about it. Netflix, Hulu [jointly owned by Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) and Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (NASDAQ:FOXA)] and all the rest of the relatively new players in this space may want to look over their shoulder. In the meantime, investors may want to take a step back and look at where the real money in the OTT industry is going to be made during the next 10 years. OTTV plays a prominent role in that picture.

Contrary to popular belief, Netflix isn’t the totally dominant name it used to be in the Internet-delivered television industry. It was admittedly the first on the scene, and therefore was able to carve out the biggest piece of the market (which it still holds to this day). It’s largely become a commoditized business though.

Case in point? Aside from Hulu and Netflix, CBS Corporation (NYSE:CBS) has jumped into the game with its product called CBS All Access. The service allows subscribers, for a nominal monthly fee, to access a variety of CBS programming via the Internet. HBO, from Time Warner Inc (NYSE:TWX), has found respectable success with its subscription-based Internet television service called HBO Go.

Sling TV, from DISH Network Corp (NASDAQ:DISH), has really broken new ground in the over the top market by aggregating a variety of television channels into an entire package and then selling that package at a rate that’s much less than what it would cost a cable subscriber

Time Warner (NYSE:TWX) has signed Avengers series director Joss Whedon to make a Batgirl movie that’s part of its DC Extended Universe (DCEU) movie franchise. In addition to television series including Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Firefly, Whedon is known for writing and directing Disney’s (NYSE:DIS) first two Avengers films, so the director’s move to the DCEU franchise presents a notable creative shakeup in the cinematic superhero competition.
