Hot Stocks To Own For 2019

Most Americans are paying too much when it comes to retirement fund management. It’s estimated that they’re losing some $17 billion annually on these largely unnecessary charges.

Yet it’s a common practice for fund management companies to layer on fees in retirement accounts. Although most investors don’t notice these expenses, they all have one thing in common: They nibble away at your retirement savings every year.

“Nearly 60 percent of investors do not completely understand the fees they pay their financial advisor, according to J.D. Power,” reports the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors.

“NerdWallet research found that a millennial with the option of investing in either of two commonly held funds can save nearly $215,000 by choosing the one with fees that are 0.93% lower.”

Top 10 Safest Stocks To Watch For 2018

Widows and orphans have had a tough few months.   Long-term U.S. Treasury bonds – often cited as the safest investment on the planet and suitable for the most cautious investors – lost more than seven years' worth of income in just the past four months.   Lending money to the U.S. government for 30 years in exchange for a 2% yield turned out not to be such a good idea. Yields are now 50% higher than they were back in July. And these Treasury bonds, or "T-bonds," have collapsed in price.   But that has given us a fantastic risk/reward setup today…   Let's start by looking at this chart of the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT)…

Top 10 Safest Stocks To Watch For 2018: Plains All American Pipeline L.P.(PAA)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By John Bromels]

    That’s what happened to U.S. oil and gas pipeline operatorsKinder Morgan, Inc.(NYSE:KMI) and master limited partnership(MLP)Plains All American Pipeline(NYSE:PAA) in 2016. Both made a major dividend/distribution cut. Both stocks took a hit. And neither one has recovered: Plains All American is down 53.3% over the last three years, while Kinder Morgan is down a painful 63.1%.

  • [By ]

    The market has pummeled master limited partnerships (MLPs) over the past few years due to the impact the oil market downturn had on their operations and business model. Among the hardest-hit have been oil pipeline MLP Plains All American Pipeline (NYSE:PAA) and gas pipeline giant Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP), both of which have lost more than half their value over the last three years. That persistent slump comes even though their turnaround strategies are beginning to gain steam. While these companies still have some work to do before they’re back on solid ground, both could deliver significant returns as they complete their plans and the oil market continues rebounding over the next few years. That upside potential makes them compelling options for investors with a higher tolerance for risk.

Top 10 Stocks To Watch For 2019

American Express just posted its first net loss since 1992.

In its latest quarterly earnings report on Thursday, the firm reported that it was $1.1 billion in the red. Spokesperson Marina Norville confirmed it’s the first time the company has posted a quarterly loss in about 25 years.

In a press release, the company said the recent tax code overhaul was the culprit. American Express said it currently estimates that it will face a $2.6 billion “charge” because of the new law. Most of the $2.6 billion will go toward paying repatriation taxes, or taxes paid on profits that were earned overseas.

Companies used to be able to keep those earnings offshore and avoid paying U.S. taxes, but the Republican-backed tax code eliminated that. Most major U.S. corporations are expecting to be hit with a big one-time tax bill in order to bring that money home.

The loss prompted American Express to suspend its share buyback plans while it “rebuilds” its cash stockpile, the company said. Eventually it plans to “more than make up” for the pause in buybacks, an executive told investors during a conference call.
