    Earlier this year, I highlighted Oasis Midstream Partners (NYSE:OMP) as an intriguing company that income investors should put on their watchlist. On the plus side, the MLP offered an attractive and well-supported payout that it expected to grow at a high rate for the next few years. However, it was a riskier option since its sole source of income is oil-producing parent Oasis Petroleum (NYSE:OAS). Because of that, I thought the company needed to diversify a bit more to become an attractive option for income seekers.

Top Medical Stocks To Buy For 2019: Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(ICPT)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By George Budwell]

    If that line holds true, this emerging space should be able to support multiple new drugs, meaning that the current leaders in the field — Intercept Pharmceuticals (NASDAQ:ICPT) and Genfit — probably won’t be able to monopolize the market before other competitors like Viking get their drugs past the FDA. In fact, this market is so large it could feasibly support several blockbuster level products.

    Ocaliva, from Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ICPT) will probably be the first NASH treatment to earn an FDA approval, but safety concerns so far mean it will remain limited to those in advanced stages of the disease. Results from an ongoing phase 3 trial will be ready next year, but they’re intended to support an expansion to treat severe NASH patients with fibrosis already.

  • [By Jon C. Ogg]

    It’s another disappointing day for one of America’s top biotech companies. Gilead Sciences Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GILD) selonsertib failed to improve fibrosis in the Phase 3 STELLAR-4 trial, and its shares traded lower as a result. While this is more bad news for Gilead, it may prove to be great news for Intercept Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ICPT).

  • [By Cory Renauer]

    Any day now, Intercept Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ICPT) will share long-awaited pivotal trial results that could make its Ocaliva drug the first approved NASH treatment. The lead candidate at Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:MDGL) is behind Ocaliva on the development timeline, but results so far tick all the right boxes. Let’s examine the case for both stocks to decide which one is the better pick right now.

While its paltry 0.6%-yielding dividend might not appeal to income investors, its dividend growth prospects have the potential to continue fueling market-smashing returns.

Top 5 Energy Stocks To Own For 2019

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released its weekly petroleum status report Wednesday morning showing that U.S. commercial crude inventories increased by 5.8 million barrels last week, maintaining a total U.S. commercial crude inventory of 411.1 million barrels. The commercial crude inventory is about 2% below the five-year average for this time of year.

Tuesday evening the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported that crude inventories rose by 629,000 barrels in the week ending July 13. Gasoline inventories increased by 425,000 barrels and distillate stockpiles rose by about 1.7 million barrels. For the same period, analysts expected crude inventories to decrease by about 3.6 million barrels. Gasoline inventories were seen down by 44,000 barrels, and distillate inventories were expected to rise by 873,000 barrels.

The unexpected jump in crude oil inventories looks to weigh further on prices that have dropped by nearly 10% since last week. Last week’s unexpectedly large decline in crude inventories started the tumble, which got a further push from talk of releasing crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This week’s increase is likely the result of a decline of more than half a million barrels a day in exports, a small increase in production and a jump in imports.

    Oil prices are at levels we haven’t seen in years. U.S. crude topped $70 for the first since 2014, as U.S. President Donald Trump appeared increasingly likely to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and reinforce sanctions on Tehran. In addition, OPEC has announced plans to bolster prices and cap production. For oil investors, Money MorningGlobal Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors says it’s time to buckle up. According to Moors, revoking the Iran deal would cause “price chaos” around the globe. And that’s right as driving season starts in the United States. Here’s more on the coming chaos for oil.

Bitcoin prices moved slightly lower in Thursday trading as the No. 1 cryptocurrency by market value remained trapped below the $9,000 threshold. Prices had rallied as high as $9,745 a day earlier.

Here are the stories you can’t miss in cryptocurrency for Thursday, April 26.

17 Millionth Coin Mined

On Thursday morning, the 17 millionth bitcoin was mined. It was the first time the No. 1 cryptocurrency reached a million-coin mark since mid-2016, when the 16 millionth bitcoin was mined. Due to bitcoin’s current rules and blockchain setup, there are only 21 million bitcoins that can ever be created. Finite supply, capped at the 21 million level, was a central tenet to bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto’s thesis. Mining bitcoin is an extremely energy-consuming process, and only about 1,800 bitcoins are mined on an average trading day. Because bitcoins are mined in blocks – with about 12.5 bitcoins per block – it’s unlikely the crypto world will know exactly who mined the 17 millionth bitcoin. With Thursday’s 17 millionth bitcoin, about 81% of all bitcoin supply will be accounted for.

    Oil prices are at levels we haven’t seen in years.

Best Energy Stocks To Buy Right Now

U.S. stock futures are rallying this morning, driven by gains in the energy sector. Wall Street is digesting President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the U.S./Iran nuclear deal, which includes heavy sanctions on the oil-producing country.

Speaking of oil, the June contract was last seen higher by nearly 3% at roughly $71 per barrel.

Heading into the open, futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average are up 0.46%, S&P 500 futures have added 0.41% and Nasdaq-100 futures have gained 0.30%.

Turning to the options pits, volume remained anemic yesterday as traders remained on the sidelines ahead of Trump’s announcement on Iran. Overall, only about 15.7 million calls and 12.8 million puts crossed the tape. On the CBOE, the single-session equity put/call volume ratio rebounded from recent lows to arrive at 0.61 — a one-week high. The 10-day moving average held at 0.64.

Top 10 Medical Stocks To Own For 2018

By Emmanuel Enemchukwu with Hien X. T. Nguyen, Chenxi Liu, and Elizabeth Ren

Typical of REITs, the most compelling investment thesis for a Healthcare REIT like Medical Property Trust (MPW) has usually been the generous dividend payout. The generosity of its dividends not taken for granted, our valuation of MPW makes a case for underpricing. We are convinced that $17.20 per share – at the very least – is a more accurate reflection of the future prospects built into MPW’s fundamentals. At a current price of $12.66, this represents a whopping 36% upside.

Reality has played out rather differently for MPW. The stock price is back to where it was March when the bankruptcy proceedings of Adeptus – one of its biggest tenants – sent investors scampering. The entire Adeptus issue turned out to be overblown – further discussions later – but it also emblematized the challenges of the wider Medical REITs space. Nevertheless, we are convinced that an eventual appreciation is certain.

Top 10 Medical Stocks To Own For 2018: Ford Motor Company(F)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Paul Ausick]

    Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) traded down about 3.4% Monday and posted a new 52-week low of $10.35 after closing Friday at $10.71. The stock’s 52-week high is $13.48. Volume was around 67 million, nearly 65% above the daily average of about 40 million shares. The company had no specific news.

  • [By ]

    That’s decent news for Mother Earth, but potentially challenging news for automakers such as Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) given the high R&D expenses needs to support electric car roll-outs.

  • [By ]

    Here’s everything you must know before Thursday’s opening bell:

    Facebook (FB) posted first-quarter earnings and revenue that beat analysts’ expectations. Ford (F) plans to shed most of its North American car lineup as customer preference has shifted to pickups and crossovers.  Deutsche Bank (DB) said it was planning “significant” job cuts for its global investment banking division. Investors will analyze earnings from Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) .    U.S. stock futures pointed toward a modestly higher open.

    Ford Motor Co. (F) will resume production of its F-150 and Super Duty pickups after a fire at a parts supplier forced the automaker to suspend production, which will hit second-quarter earnings, the company announced Wednesday, May 16.  

  • [By Daniel Miller]

    Some investors are still surprised when they find out that the financial divisions of Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM) are among the most profitable parts of the automakers’ operations.

  • [By Douglas A. McIntyre]

    General Motors Co.’s (NYSE: GM) Cadillac was rumored to begin to prune its dealer network in 2015, but the decision was shelved. Whether manufacturers GM and Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) might completely spin out Lincoln and Cadillac dealers from those thatsell nonluxury brands may depend in part on the Hyundai experiment. BMW, Mercedes and Audi have the benefit that their sales and service operations are not generally married to those of less expensive cars.

Top 10 Medical Stocks To Own For 2018: Franco-Nevada Corporation(FNV)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Shane Hupp]

    ARP Americas LP cut its position in Franco-Nevada (NYSE:FNV) (TSE:FNV) by 35.9% in the 1st quarter, according to its most recent disclosure with the SEC. The fund owned 7,441 shares of the basic materials company’s stock after selling 4,167 shares during the period. ARP Americas LP’s holdings in Franco-Nevada were worth $507,000 as of its most recent SEC filing.

  • [By David Zeiler]

    “If you look back to the 70s, 80s and 90s, in every of those decades the industry found at least one 50+ million ounce gold deposit, at least ten 30+ million ounce deposits and countless five to 10 million ounce deposits. But if you look at the last 15 years, we found no 50 million ounce deposit, no 30 million ounce deposit and only very few 15 million ounce deposits,” Pierre Lassonde, chair of gold royalty and income stream company Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV), told German financial newspaper Finanz und Wirtschaft last October.

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    Franco-Nevada (NYSE:FNV) went public in the U.S. market more than a decade ago, and over that time, the company has established itself as a major player in an important niche in the natural resources industry. Franco-Nevada neither mines gold nor drills for oil, but by helping to finance projects that mining companies and oil drillers want to pursue, it ensures it can get a cut of the profits. That’s been a winning business model lately, and throughout its history as a publicly traded company, Franco-Nevada has stood out for one thing that it’s done consistently well: paying and raising its dividend regularly over time.

    Oil prices are at levels we haven’t seen in years. U.S. crude topped $70 for the first since 2014, as U.S. President Donald Trump appeared increasingly likely to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and reinforce sanctions on Tehran. In addition, OPEC has announced plans to bolster prices and cap production. For oil investors, Money MorningGlobal Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors says it’s time to buckle up. According to Moors, revoking the Iran deal would cause “price chaos” around the globe. And that’s right as driving season starts in the United States. Here’s more on the coming chaos for oil. In deal news, Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) announced it will purchase Gramercy Property Trust (NYSE: GPT) for $7.6 billion in cash. Grammercy manages commercial real estate. While this may seem like a boring deal, Blackstone is buying a business that churns out cold hard cash for its investors. We want to keep this deal on your radar, because there are many other deals like this coming down the pipeline. We’re going to be discussing one of the best real estate opportunities available very soon – so keep an eye out for updates.

Top Low Price Stocks To Invest In Right Now

AT&T (NYSE:T) could offer customers a streaming television package for the low, low price of $0 per month in the near future.

During AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson’s testimony in the Department of Justice’s case against his company, blocking its potential acquisition of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX), he noted the company is planning a $15 per month sports-free streaming bundle called AT&T Watch.

Wells Fargo analyst Jennifer Fritzsche said the service will be available to everyone, but AT&T will offer it for free to its wireless customers. AT&T currently offers a $15 discount on any DirecTV Now bundle to its unlimited wireless data plan subscribers, so it would effectively be offering the same discount for customers who opt for the sport-free AT&T Watch. AT&T also offers free HBO to its unlimited subscribers.

AT&T has said it’s seen a lot of success by bundling video products with its wireless plans, and it’s seen a couple of copycat attempts by T-Mobile and Sprint. AT&T Watch is yet another move to differentiate its service.

Top 5 Undervalued Stocks For 2018

If you’re able to buy shares of a smallgrowth stock — say, a company with a market capitalization of less than $20 billion — before the rest of the market catches on to the story, it can be a life-changing investment.

Consider, for instance, the 1997 investment that Motley Fool co-founder David Gardner made in — at the time — atiny company calledAmazon. With a split-adjusted purchase price of just $3.19, a simple $10,000 investment back then is now worth $4.5 million.

But what is a growth stock? There’s no hard-and-fast definition. Perhaps it’sbest to define this type of investing in the context of a few other types of investing.

Growth stocks:Stocks you buy because you believe the stock’s price could increase substantially — usually an uncapped amount with enormous upside potential. Revenue often increases dramatically. This tends to be a high-risk/high-reward type of investing. Income stocks: Stocks you buy because you want to receive regular dividends. Revenue growth need not be much higher than inflation. These companies tend to be larger and more stable and offer a lower-risk/lower-reward profile. Value stocks: Stocks you buy because — like growth stocks — you believe the stock’s price will go up. Unlike growth stocks, however, this is because you believe the stock to be currently undervalued.

    Oil prices are at levels we haven’t seen in years. U.S. crude topped $70 for the first since 2014, as U.S. President Donald Trump appeared increasingly likely to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and reinforce sanctions on Tehran. In addition, OPEC has announced plans to bolster prices and cap production. For oil investors, Money MorningGlobal Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors says it’s time to buckle up. According to Moors, revoking the Iran deal would cause “price chaos” around the globe. And that’s right as driving season starts in the United States. Here’s more on the coming chaos for oil. In deal news, Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) announced it will purchase Gramercy Property Trust (NYSE: GPT) for $7.6 billion in cash. Grammercy manages commercial real estate. While this may seem like a boring deal, Blackstone is buying a business that churns out cold hard cash for its investors. We want to keep this deal on your radar, because there are many other deals like this coming down the pipeline.

Why do you trade?

It is important to understand the true drivers behind why you trade the markets. The answer is different for everyone. We all have different circumstances, wants, wishes and desires.

Find yours.

Below are common reasons people get involved:

Entertainment Gambling Staying informed about economic and political developments Intellectual pursuit and curiosity Side income Primary income Advising friends and family Professionally managing a fund

Your reasons influence how you attack markets. For example, people managing their own wealth might prioritize account growth over shallow drawdowns, whereas the individual looking to run money professionally will need to focus on risk control. Then you have the gamblers who will undboudtedely gravitate towards penny stocks and out-of-the-money options.

Your reasons for trading also greatly influence the amount of time and energy you will need to commit to the markets. Simply placing trades and having fun without regard to your profits and losses will take a few minutes a week. On the other hand, launching a fund will take all your time and energy just like any other business startup.

    Southwestern Energy (SWN) soared to the top of the S&P 500 today as concerns about a cold spell and a report that showed lower natural gas supply sent natural gas prices higher

    Agence France-Presse/Getty Images

    Shares of Southwestern Energy climbed 6.9% to $12.13 today, while the S&P 500 fell 0.4% to 2,191.08.

    Desjardins Capital Markets’ Kristopher Zack and team explain that the “cold weather forecast [is] lighting a fire under NYMEX.” They explain:

    Although oil prices have dominated the headlines following yesterdays OPEC cut, it has also been a fairly supportive week for natural gas producers, with winter NYMEX strip now approaching the US$3.50/mmbtu level, a far cry from last winters experience. La Ni帽a conditions have also been supportive, and we note that next Thursday morning the US Climate Prediction Center will provide its monthly update on the progress of conditions in the El Ni帽o region, which could be a good leading indicator of future weather patterns entering the heart of the winter season from mid-December through early March…

    Temperatures expected to track near normalized levels over next two weeks, which is significantly colder than last winter’s levels. The weather forecast remains fairly constructive for December heating demand, with Heating Degree Days (HDDs) tracking very close to normalized levels through mid-month and particularly cold temperatures expected in the western US.

    Southwestern Energy’s market capitalization rose to $6 billion from $5.6 billion yesterday. It reported a net loss of $4.6 billion on sales of $2.9 billion in 2015.

    Oil prices are at levels we haven’t seen in years. U.S. crude topped $70 for the first since 2014, as U.S. President Donald Trump appeared increasingly likely to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal and reinforce sanctions on Tehran. In addition, OPEC has announced plans to bolster prices and cap production. For oil investors, Money MorningGlobal Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors says it’s time to buckle up. According to Moors, revoking the Iran deal would cause “price chaos” around the globe. And that’s right as driving season starts in the United States. Here’s more on the coming chaos for oil.
