Stocks With Lots of Cash

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Lots of cash is great, whether you are an individual or a company. One key statistic that value investors examine who look at value stocks is the cash per share. The cash per share is determined by taking all the cash on the company’s book divided by all the shares that are outstanding. If the price of the stock is below the cash per share, and assuming the company has little or no debt, then it may be a great value investment. There are plenty of stocks that sell below the cash per share, but you may want to avoid certain ones because they carry huge amounts of debt. A few airlines fall into that category, such as US Airways Group (LCC) and United Continental (UAL), both of which trade way below the cash per share but have debt in the billions. Fortunately, investors can still find stocks trading below cash with little or no debt. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com just updated its list of stocks selling below cash , which also includes data on the forward price to earnings ratio, the market capitalization, the cash per share, and the total debt. One example is the Livermore, California based FormFactor, Inc. (FORM), which makes and markets precision and high performance advanced semiconductor wafer probe cards used for testing chips and other devices. The company should continue to benefit from the appetite for microprocessors. This debt-free stock has over $6.25 in cash per share yet closed at only $5.71, a 9% discount. The stock is also selling at a big discount to its book value of 7.48. The stock trades at 1.61 times sales. The company reported a net loss of 1.17 per share for the latest quarter, but generated a 10% increase in revenues. Another example is Digital River Inc. (DRIV), a Minnesota based outsourcer of e-commerce solutions, primarily online sales channel capability. The stock trades at 15.43 trading at a 13% discount to its cash per share of 17.79 and its book value of 17.74. The stock trades at 12.7 times forward earnings, and 1.51 times sales, with revenues rising 123%. The does have some debt in the mount of $354 million.

Disney Is a Buy After Huge Dividend Increase

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace Disney (NYSE: DIS ) just made big waves with a mammoth 50% dividend increase today — from 40 cents per share to 60 cents. This is an annual payout, not a quarterly one, and based on this total, the dividend yield on Disney stock leaps from 1.1% to 1.6%. Income investors might turn up their noses at Disney despite this huge increase — and after a 15% bump a year ago. An annual dividend, with just a 1.6% yield? What's the point of holding? True, that dividend yield doesn't exactly make Disney an income play based on payouts alone. And the annual payout means you could technically just buy in now before the Dec. 9 ex-dividend date — that's the cutoff to share in the January payment — then cut and run as soon as you know the dividend is locked up. However, Disney isn't like a utility company or a tobacco stock where the dividend is the biggest source of profit potential. DIS stock as a whole has been performing quite well, and that counts for a lot. In regard to fundamentals like sales and profits, Disney posted year-over-year growth for both sales and profits in all four quarters of fiscal 2011. What's more, earnings per share jumped 25% over fiscal 2010 and are expected to grow another 15% next year. And this comes in a weak consumer environment where movie sales haven't been all that grand and tourism at Disney theme parks has been soft. While Disney is diversified with television operations such as ABC and ESPN, Pixar and Marvel Studios really drive company revenues. When consumers come back — and they will — Disney will come back big-time, too. Besides, if you're a long-term investor, you have to not just approach future earnings but current valuations at which you are buying in. Consider this math by InvestorPlace writer Lawrence Meyers: "If we put an 15 P/E on Disney, then, on projected 2015 earnings of $4.43 per share, and factor in 1.2% compounded dividend yield reinvested, we get a price target of $72." Shares as of this writing are around $36 — 100% upside from here, in just five years! That makes Disney both a growth and a value play. Throw in the big dividend increase as a sign that the company is confident about its cash flow and willing to share profits with investors, and you have a pretty good list of reasons to go shopping for Disney.

5 Stocks That Have the Pros Talking

My three decades of experience in finance have taught me that you cant
underestimate the value of having an inside edge. When someone who has been on
the inside knows how the system works and wants to use that knowledge to help
the individual investor, Im all for it. Its what Ive dedicated my lifes work to,
and we have another powerful ally doing the same. Thats why I recently wrote the
foreword to Hilary Kramers book, The Little Book of Big Profits from Small
Stocks . Shes done tours of duty with Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) and Lehman
Brothers during their heydays, and she knows how things work from the inside.
And, while we approach stock-picking from different angles, we sometimes find
ourselves on common ground. So, after spending some time talking stocks at the
Chicago Money Show, we decided to sound off on five stocks to see what we can
agree on and what well have to agree to disagree on. As a special feature for
my loyal Whats Working on Wall Street Now readers, were teaming up to share our
views on each of the following stocks: Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO ) Allot
Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALLT ) Darling International Inc. (NYSE: DAR )
Panera Bread Co. (NASDAQ: PNRA ) Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC ) Lets see
where we agree and disagree on these five stocks.

7 Life Science Stocks to Sell

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace Health care is a recession-proof sector since many patients have no choice but to undergo treatments no matter what the broader economy is like –even if those cures are often expensive. That adds up to a stable customer base for most companies. However, don't be fooled into thinking every health stock is a great buy. A number of life sciences companies are struggling and have seen shares sell off sharply in recent months. I watch more than 5,000 publicly traded companies with my Portfolio Grader tool, ranking companies by a number of fundamental and quantitative measures. This week, I’ve got seven life science stocks to sell. Here they are, in alphabetical order. Each one of these stocks gets a "D" or "F" according to my research, meaning it is a "sell" or "strong sell." Bruker Corp. (NASDAQ: BRKR ) develops scientific instruments for use in the life science, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, clinical and molecular diagnostics research fields. BRKR stock is down 23% since Jan. 1. Charles River Laboratories International Inc. (NYSE: CRL ) develops solutions that accelerate the drug discovery and development process. Like other life sciences stocks, CRL is down nearly 21% year-to-date. Icon (NASDAQ: ICLR ) provides services, internationally, to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. A drop of 24% year-to-date has ensured ICLR stock a spot on this list. Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN ) is involved with various genetic analysis solutions, including sequencing, genotyping, gene expression and molecular diagnostics. ILMN stock has posted an incredible loss of 56% in just the last 11 months. Life Technologies Corp.

4 Europe-Focused ETFs That Still Make Sense

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace It's no surprise that shares of European companies have experienced some turbulence lately. But when everybody's selling fear, some value investors are buying quality on the cheap. Consider this: if you take the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) out of the mix, EU economies don't look all that bad. And the FTSE 100, an index that tracks the 100 most highly capitalized stocks on the London Stock Exchange, has risen more than 7% since its 52-week low on Nov. 24. Beyond simple blips on the trading screen, European mega-caps like Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDSA ), BHP Billiton (NYSE: BBL ), HSBC (NYSE: HBC ), Vodafone (Nasdaq: VOD ), BP (NYSE: BP ) and GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK ) are among the world's largest corporations. Most of these mega-caps generate a high percentage of sales outside Europe and are attractively priced relative to their value. Exchange-traded funds focused on high-quality large-cap European stocks potentially can deliver benefits, while making it easier to limit individual company – or country – risk through diversification. Here are four Europe-focused ETFs that still make sense: Vanguard MSCI European ETF (NYSE: VGK ). VGK tracks the performance of the MSCI Europe Index, which represents primarily large- and mid-cap stocks in developed European countries. Major holdings include Nestle (PINK: NSRGY ), HSBC, Novartis (NYSE: NVS ), and Vodafone. The ETF is trading around $44 and the current dividend yield is 5.25%. While the year-to-date return is -11%, its one-month return has inched into positive territory at 0.2%. SPDR DJ Euro STOXX 50 ETF (NYSE: FEZ ). FEZ tracks the Euro STOXX 50 Index, representing performance of the 50 largest European companies. Major holdings include Total (NYSE: TOT ), Siemens (NYSE: SI ), Sanofi (NYSE: SNY ), and Telefonica (NYSE: TEF ). FEZ is trading around $31 and the current dividend yield is 5.1%. Although the year-to-date return is -13.6%, its one-month return is up to 1.1%. iShares S&P Europe 350 Index Fund (NYSE: IEV ). IEV tracks the price and yield performance of the S&P Europe 350 Index. Holdings include Nestle, HSBC, Novartis and BP. IEV is trading around $34.50 and the current dividend yield is 3.3%. The year-to-date return is -10.2%, but the one-month return is 0.6%. iShares MSCI Germany Index Fund (NYSE: EWG ). This fund is a good way to play Europe's strongest economy. EWG tracks the MSCI Germany index, which consists of stocks traded primarily on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Holdings include Siemens, SAP (NYSE: SAP ), Daimler and Bayer. EWG is trading at around $20, and the current dividend yield is 3.3%. The year-to-date return is -12.4%, but the one-month return is nearly 1.8%. Bottom Line: In advance of next week's critical EU summit in Brussels, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday existing treaties must be changed to craft a new European fiscal union – but cautioned that the process would be a "marathon". It's unclear at this point what Europe needs most for the race ahead – leadership or cash. Regardless of the structure or timing, Europe will bounce back eventually and going long on the right ETFs can put investors in the catbird seat when it does. As of this writing, Susan J. Aluise did not hold a position in any of the stocks named here.

Gold & Silver Prices | Weekly Recap 28 Nov – 2 Dec

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

DG365FD46564GFH654FU898 Gold and silver prices stared the first week of December with moderate gains during the week. The reduction on the rates of US dollar based loans given to struggling EU banks by several central banks including the Federal Reserve helped push up the Euro and ease, in the short term, the anxiety in the markets. This may have also helped pull up commodities prices including gold and silver prices. The positive reported from the U.S. including the rise in US PMI manufacturing index, the sharp increase in US pending home sales and the positive response of the US consumer confidence survey may have also helped lift the commodities prices and consequently also rally gold and silver prices. The recent news of the 120k gain in the U.S. employment during November should have pressure down gold and silver prices, but in effect gold price ended the week slightly rising, while silver price slightly declined.

The Netflix Horror Show Continues

In Wednesdays huge rally that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average climb almost
500 points, just about every stock in the world increased in value. But there
was one that couldnt find any interest from investors Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ),
which closed off 4.5% to $64.53. And this came off a 3.4% drop Tuesday, when the
markets still were in bull mode. The seemingly inexplicable fall has occurred
despite recent optimism from analysts. For example, Susquehanna Financial Groups
Vasily Karasyov improved his rating for NFLX shares from negative to neutral.
And hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson told Barrons that he believes Netflixs
stock will double over the next few months! But with the recent losses against
the broader markets not to mention the almost 80% haircut to NFLX shares since
mid-July its going to take much more than upbeat analysts to make investors
confident in Netflix. Consider that the company, in a desperate grab for cash to
go toward providing better content, recently raised $400 million by selling
stock and convertible notes, illustrating NFLXs serious cash flow issues. And
that move was made to stave off increasingly serious competition from operators
including Hulu and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ). Not to mention, Netflix also has to
get a sense of the cash-flow impact for next year. If its content continues to
lag and its membership base continues to shrink, the consequences for NFLX could
be severe. Still, the most damning sign of Netflixs problems remains the stocks
recent trading activity. Whenever the markets experience a huge rally and a
particular stock sits the bench, it often is evidence of tremendous weakness.
The situation looks more dire when that stocks value already has taken a huge
dip. So despite being at lows not seen since early 2010, NFLX still could be a
toxic holding for investors. Tom Taulli runs the InvestorPlace blog "

the eurozone appear to have diminished and positive economic data in the U.S. is
boosting investor confidence as well. Stock indices moved higher across the
board last week and precious metal gold and silver prices followed. Gold and
silver contracts spent the majority of the last session trending in positive
territory and closed the last trading session of the week in the green. Gold
prices jumped higher after the U.S. jobs news spread. The U.S. economy added
120,000 jobs in November and the national unemployment rate dropped from 9
percent to 8.6 percent. This was significantly better than what most economists
were anticipating. Gold was higher prior to the report and moved further up the
ladder after the report. According to close floor price, contract gold for
February delivery moved higher by .66 percent at 1751.30 per troy ounce. Silver
contract for March delivery fell lower last session by .22 percent to 32.69 per
troy ounce. After last session close, spot gold price per gram and spot silver
price per ounce moved in opposite directions. Spot gold price per gram was green
by .23 at 56.03 and spot silver price per ounce was red by .13 at 32.56. Camillo

9 Tech Stocks That Can Sizzle in a Sluggish Economy

The struggling U.S. economy has been a boost for many technology stocks.
Corporations continue to try cutting costs and boost productivity through
high-tech means. Also, consumers and businesses have a baseline demand for
technology and communication products no matter what happens in the broader
economy. After all, can you imagine doing anything without email, cell phones or
the Internet? These nine companies continue to post stellar earnings growth
throughout hard times, and will be well-positioned to benefit from a substantive
recovery. Each blue-chip tech stock here is defined by customer loyalty and
their essential role in cost savings: Altera (NASDAQ: ALTR ) circuits are used
in anything from communications network gear to consumer electronics to
industrial equipment. This company has higher gross margins than competitors
like Xilinx (NASDAQ: XLNX ) (71.2% versus 65.1%) and higher operating margins
(45.5% versus 32.9%), so it is better positioned for market fluctuations. This
is a clear winner in a growing industry. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) is the poster
child for customer loyalty. No matter what happens with the economy, each
upgrade to the iPad, iPhone, iPod or any other Apple product sends millions into
stores. Even with the passing of Steve Jobs, I don't see this trend ending
anytime in the near future. The iPhone 4S has been a huge hit with customers,
and the company surely has a 4G phone in the works that will create the next
wave of sales. ARM Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: ARMH ) is the chip company that's
behind just about every smartphone and tablet on the market. With soaring demand
for these products consumer and embedded digital device shipments spiked 50%
year-over-year to 900 million it's a no-brainer why you should want to own
this company. Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU ) has kept its market domination in China
despite regulatory issues and fierce competition. BIDU boasts nearly 78% market
share in this very profitable and fast-growing Internet market. Also, the
company is translating market share into hefty profits. In just the third
quarter, profits rose 80% to $296 million dollars. That figure is expected to
surge 46% per year for the next five years! Checkpoint Software Technology
(NASDAQ: CHKP ) provides essential products for our online world. Checkpoint is
the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, with 100% of Fortune 100
companies and 98% of Fortune 500 companies using its technology. The company
currently has six patents (with an additional 25 pending in the cyber security
sector) and is emerging as the go-to company for businesses and consumers around
the world. DIRECTV Holdings (NASDAQ: DTV ) is the biggest satellite-TV provider
in the U.S., but the real growth is coming from Latin America. In the third
quarter, DTV added 574,000 new subscribers in that region. In addition, the
company enjoyed 11% higher average revenue per subscriber. This is exactly where
DirecTV is looking to grow in the year ahead. Subscribers across the world will
also benefit from DirecTV's plans to launch applications that allow consumers
to stream live TV programming and on-demand movies to their mobile devices.
Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM ) is at the heart of the next great technology
breakthrough the cloud. Cloud computing allows businesses to use applications
without actually installing them, which helps companies reduce operating costs,
especially those related to computing resources. If youve used Yahoo email, you
have used cloud computing technology. The company has been aggressively
expanding through acquiring startups and churning out new products, so
management expects to reach a $3 billion annual revenue rate during 2013.
However, these developments have hit Salesforce's earnings in the short run:
In the last quarter, earnings dipped 131% while sales climbed 46%. It is likely
that today's growing pains will reap tremendous returns in the long run.
Teradata (NYSE: TDC ) is your way to play increasing demand in electronic data
storage and customer analytics. And Teradata's data management solutions are
in hot demand because they are among the most cost-effective means for companies
to manage the data explosion. The company has been steadily increasing earnings
expectations, and I expect this will continue throughout 2012. VMware (NYSE: VMW
) is another cloud company. It has posted earnings growth and earnings surprises
in each of the last four quarters, and I don't see any major barriers to
VMWares success in the year ahead.
