Colorado can’t keep fines and costs assessed against criminal defendants whose convictions have been reversed, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled today, in a decision that drew criticism from conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas,  who said the court’s reasoning could lead to unintended consequences.

The majority opinion in Nelson v. Colorado, by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is straightforward enough: Shannon Nelson and Alonzo Madden are entitled to refunds of court costs and restitution they paid following criminal convictions that were subsequently reversed. Nelson was convicted of abusing her children but acquitted by a second jury after her conviction was reversed because of trial error. Madden’s conviction on child prostitution and assault charges was reversed by the Colorado Supreme Court and the state declined to prosecute him again.

Top Value Stocks For 2021: PennantPark Investment Corporation(PNNT)

PennantPark Investment Corporation is a BDC whose objectives are to generate both current income and capital appreciation while seeking to preserve capital through debt and equity investments primarily made to U.S. middle-market companies in the form of senior secured debt, mezzanine debt and equity investments.
We believe middle-market companies offer attractive risk-reward to investors due to the limited amount of capital available for such companies. We seek to create a diversified portfolio that includes senior secured debt, mezzanine debt and equity investments by investing approximately $10 million to $50 million of capital, on average, in the securities of middle-market companies. We expect this investment size to vary proportionately with the size of our capital base. We use the term “middle-market” to refer to companies with annual revenues between $50 million and $1 billion.   Advisors’ Opinion:

Top 10 Casino Stocks To Own For 2019: Camping World Holdings, Inc. (CWH)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    The stock market was mixed on Thursday, with strength for the Dow Jones Industrial Average standing in contrast to weakness among the key technology stocks in the Nasdaq Composite. For the most part, those impacts canceled each other out for the broader market, with the S&P 500 showing only minimal changes from yesterday’s levels. The volatility shows that investors generally have some uncertainty about the future direction of the market, but some stocks managed to post substantial gains. Camping World Holdings (NYSE:CWH), Axovant Sciences (NASDAQ:AXON), and Sonic (NASDAQ:SONC) were among the best performers on the day. Here’s why they did so well.

NY’s holdings in Camping World were worth $448,000 at the end of the most recent reporting period.

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    The popularity of recreational vehicles has been rising, and Camping World Holdings (NYSE:CWH) has been maneuvering itself toward the front of the pack to take advantage of the trend. Although competition in the RV business is fierce, the space is quite segmented, and Camping World has a golden opportunity to build out its national presence, and begin to unify its retail face under a single corporate roof — even as it branches out in new directions in an attempt to become an even broader, all-outdoors giant.

Top 10 Casino Stocks To Own For 2019: QuinStreet, Inc.(QNST)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Dan Caplinger]

    The mood was negative on Wall Street on Wednesday, and most major benchmarks finished in the red. Strength in the technology sector wasn’t enough to lift more cyclically focused benchmarks like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the combination of an attack on Saudi Arabia that sent oil prices higher and some disquieting readings on the inflation front kept investors from feeling more confident about stocks going into earnings season. In addition, some individual companies had bad news that sent their shares lower. Analogic (NASDAQ:ALOG), QuinStreet (NASDAQ:QNST), and MSC Industrial Direct (NYSE:MSM) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.

Top 10 Casino Stocks To Own For 2019: Enbridge Inc(ENB)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    Shares of Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) came roaring back in January. After tumbling 20% in 2018 due in part to a late sell-off in the oil market, shares of the Canadian oil pipeline giant rebounded 17.8% last month, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Driving that rally was a bounce back in the oil market as well as some bullish notes by analysts who follow the company.

  • [By John Bromels]

    It hasn’t helped that, in general, pipeline stocks have been having a rough couple of years. This is partly due to an overall industry slump, but different stocks have been hit for different reasons.

    The stock market dealt with continued volatility on Tuesday, with investors uncertain how to react to a mix of earnings and geopolitical news. Throughout most of the day, market participants were trying to predict whether the Trump administration would move forward with its plans to withdraw the U.S. from the nuclear deal with Iran, and major benchmarks stayed in a relatively tight range with a downward bias during the morning and early afternoon. After the expected announcement, the Dow fell to a triple-digit loss late in the afternoon, but it recovered by the end of the session. Adding to the gloominess was bad news regarding some key individual stocks. DISH Network (NASDAQ:DISH), Gogo (NASDAQ:GOGO), and Hertz Global Holdings (NYSE:HTZ) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.

    Shares of Seaspan Corporation (NYSE:SSW) rallied 15% last month thanks to a bullish analyst note.

    So what

    Seaspan’s stock bobbed around the flatline for most of April until an analyst at Deutsche Bank upgraded the containership leasing company from hold to buy toward the end of the month. What stood out was the $13 price target, which was 85% above the bank’s previous one of $7 a share. Driving that bullish view is the expectation that Seaspan’s ability to deleverage its balance sheet and increase the dividend would fuel substantial share price appreciation in the future.

  • [By ]

    The ‘Jolt’ investing tip of the day actually goes out to C-suite executives across the word: Always watch your back because someone is always vying for the top gig. Reading the various Volkswagen (VLKAY) CEO shake-up news, it’s pretty clear new CEO Herbert Diess undermined his now former boss Matthias M眉ller. He reportedly built up a base of support among board members and shareholders to appoint him as CEO, despite M眉ller’s success turning around VW after the emissions scandal. Crazy, but hey it’s vicious out there.

    For example, FCA was the first to throw in the towel on “cars.” Ford is now following. Lately, brands such as Chevrolet (NYSE:GM), Toyota (NYSE:TM), Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAY) and Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY) have professed their enduring commitment to sedans and similar “cars.” That’s probably true – at least directionally. Still, even those automakers will need to prune at least a little bit in their car/sedan portfolios over the next generational cycle, 5-10 years at the most. But the point is that they say they will not take as big of an axe to those offerings in the U.S. market, as FCA and Ford just did.

The price of gold is up thanks to the Federal Reserve, just like we predicted.

The FOMC raised rates on Dec. 13, as expected. In the days leading up to the meeting, the U.S. dollar rallied, and gold sold off.

But then both of these reversed direction, with the dollar retreating and the gold price rallying.

For those of us watching this space carefully, it has played out pretty much as anticipated. Over the past two years, mid-December rate hikes helped launch powerful rallies in gold and gold stocks.

Within the semi-conductor industry, Texas Instruments has focused on high performance analog components and embedded processing products. The largest end use sectors are automotive, industrial, automation and communications markets. TI is vertically integrated; owning and operating their own factories rather than outsourcing production. The production facilities with 300 mm fabrication capability provide competitive costs and flexibility. The impressive diversity of both products and customers provide stability. Many opportunities in the industrial and automotive sectors can still be considered in the early stages of semi-conductor adoption, providing opportunity for future growth.
