How to identify hot stocks, separate the really good companies from the media hype, and score returns of 100% and more…
To beat the markets consistently you must, by definition, beat the average investors out there. And Investment U will help you do just that.
How? With both timely stock recommendations and strategies that will allow you to make your own stock picks – ways to identify those hot stocks and great companies poised to run up 100%, 200%, even 300% or more before they land on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.
Finding Great Profits Where Nobody’s Looking
As you might imagine, staying ahead of the investing herd is much easier if you’re willing – and able – to invest in “unfashionable” companies and sectors before they become all the rage.… “investing where no one else is looking,” as IU President Dr. Steve Sjuggerud puts it.
Investing in companies like these, for example…
In Investment U E-Letter #280, Dr. Sjuggerud pointed to several cheap Asian companies he thought were undervalued. One such company was Telekom Indonesia (TLK), which was then trading at a forward P/E ratio of just 7.5… In less than a year, TLK went on to become a hot stock, surging from $12.80 per share to $17.78, for a 38.91% gain.
Compared to the U.S. markets, which were flat through that same time period, these gains were very solid, even remarkable.
But Investment U is constantly pointing out companies like this. Here’s another example, from the very same E-Letter:
“China’s two giants, Petrochina (PTR) and China Mobile (CHL) are not that expensive at forward P/Es of 12 and at two times book, even after their fabulous share price rises recently,” wrote Dr. Sjuggerud.
Again, one year later the results spoke for themselves: PTR had gone from $30.80 to $52.50 (a rise of 60.06%) and CHL was up slightly, outpacing all domestic market averages in the process.
Investment U has a proven successful track record of providing results for its readers.
Investing ahead of the heard is just one of the key strategies of the Investment U System.
How to Identify Great Companies and Hot Stocks Like These
So how can you begin to identify companies poised for these kinds of solid gains?
For starters, you can sign up to receive the Investment U E-Letter, free of charge.
Once you begin reading it twice a week, you’ll not only be getting these kinds of hot stock recommendations, you’ll be getting the wisdom that will allow you to identify them on your own. As the old saying goes: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day… Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
Here’s what we mean…
Finding Super Cheap Stocks
One tried and true method for identifying hot stocks is seeking value. Sometimes value will come in the form of an unpopular sector, or an overlooked company poised for a breakout.
Sometimes it will come in traditional terms, like a low price-to-earnings ratio.
Dr. Sjuggerud helped his readers find terrific values in emerging-market stocks in IU E-Letter #364: One Group of Super Cheap Stocks.
In that broadcast, he wrote:
“I was a broker back in January of 1994… when investors got scared out of emerging markets, particularly Asia. As a broker who specialized in international stocks and bonds, I couldn’t have been in a worse place at a worse time…
“I learned the pattern of emerging markets… they double, then fall in half, then double, then halve… While Asian emerging markets have had their ups and downs over the last decade, right now may be one of the most attractive times to consider buying.”
And Dr. Sjuggerud, as usual, didn’t stop at market analysis, explaining exactly why he believed these markets to be a great value; he went on to recommend two specific hot stock plays that readers could get into right away:
1) The Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Fund (NYSE: MSF)
2) iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Fund (NYSE: EEM)
While Dr. Sjuggerud’s own hardnosed research fuels most of his recommendations, he’s never shy about relating others’ ideas when he thinks they might help you increase your profits.
A Little Help from Our (Very Wise) Friends: A 36% Gainer In Timber!
That’s how readers learned about hot stocks like Plum Creek Timber (PCL). In discussing money manager Jeremy Grantham’s views on which sectors could be strong in 2004, Dr. Sjuggerud cited timber stocks. He had already been looking into the sector himself when he related Grantham’s positive views on this totally unsexy commodity niche. After he talked about it in E-Letter #302, Plum Creek went on to record a 36% surge in share price – even as the “hot” Nasdaq dropped by 5%!
Likewise, Steve often turns to close personal friends for investment insights you’ll find nowhere else…
In IU E-Letter #274: How to Pay $3,200 for Florida Beachfront Property, Steve told readers about value investor Dan Ferris’ “Properties for Pennies on the Dollar” recommendations… Consider this…
How would you like to own 39 miles of pristine Florida coastline near Panama City Beach at a 90% discount to what it’s worth? You can, very easily – and it won’t cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. In fact, a hundred shares of St. Joe – the largest landowner in the state of Florida – will only cost you about $3,200.
At the time of that writing, shares of St. Joe (NYSE: JOE) were selling for about $32. In Dan’s Extreme Value newsletter he called the stock a “buy” up to $59.
Well, one year later the stock was trading at $47.48 – jumping up 48.44%, and confirming Steve’s decision to let his readers in on the deal.
