3D Systems Corp. ( DDD ) reported impressive third quarter results last week, including a positive earnings surprise of 15.4% and a raised fiscal year 2012 guidance. This Zacks #2 Rank (Buy) 3D printers company has beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in 3 out of the last 4 quarters with a positive surprise of 34.4%, and has a long-term projected growth rate of 17.6%.
Impressive 3Q for 3D
On October 25, 3D Systems reported third quarter earnings per share that jumped 82.6% year over year to 30 cents, primarily on the back of better-than-expected revenue growth and strong margin expansion.
Revenue surged 57.3% from the year-ago quarter to $90.5 million, driven by a 79.1% surge in product sales and a 27.5% growth in services.
The operating margin expanded 510 basis points ("bps") in the reported quarter, primarily due to a 160 bps contraction in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, as well as a higher gross margin base (up 350 bps).
3D Systems ended the quarter with a cash balance of $184.0 million.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions have been an integral part of 3D Systems' growth story. Most recently, it announced back-to-back acquisitions of the Netherlands-based The Innovative Modelmakers B.V. and South Korea-based INUS Technology Inc. (developer of Rapidform). In the recently-concluded third quarter, the company acquired Viztu Technologies, Inc., a developer of online platform Hypr3D.
Outlook Revised Upward
3D Systems raised its fiscal year outlook and now expects revenue between $345.0 million and $365.0 million, versus the prior guidance of $330.0 million to $360.0 million. Earnings are projected at $1.20 to $1.30 per share, instead of $1.00 - $1.25.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the company had a strong backlog of $9.3 million.
Earnings Momentum Moves Higher
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 is at $1.08 per share, which is up nearly 6% in the past 7 days. For 2013, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has climbed 2.3% to $1.32 over the last 30 days, reflecting 29.0% earnings growth.
Reasonable Valuation
Currently, 3D Systems is trading at a significant premium to most of its peers on a forward P/E basis. However, its strong earnings growth expectation of 17.6% over the next five years compares favorably with the peer group average of 9.3%, indicating room for further significant expansion. Moreover, its PEG ratio of 2.3 is lower than the peer group average of 2.7.
Historically, share prices have shown positive correlation to earnings growth. The uptrend in the 2012 earnings estimate should encourage investors as the stock is likely to follow the trend.
3D Systems Corp manufactures 3D printers, print materials and custom parts to its customers. The company also develops creative content development and design productivity tools. The company operates in North America, Europe and the Asia-pacific region. In fiscal year 2011, international operations contributed 49% of the total revenue.

Following the market opening Thursday morning, the Dow traded up 0.33 percent to 13,120.69 while the NASDAQ rose 0.43 percent to 2,994.48. The S&P also rose, increasing 0.42 percent to 1,414.68.
As a heads up for the week, we have now entered the most busy period of earnings season, so watch for some serious price action.
Top Headline After the close today, both Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN ) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) report earnings. The release will shed new light on the tablet war between the two companies, and could provide insight into whether or not Amazon is overtaking Apple in the struggle.
Equities Trading UP PSS World Medical (NASDAQ: PSSI ) rocketed up 32.69 percent to $28.66 after it was announced that the company would be acquired by McKesson for $1.46 billion Thursday morning.
Angie's list (NASDAQ: ANGI ) saw a boost as well, trading up 24.97 percent to $11.36 after a slight earnings beat and an upgrade at Barrington Research this morning.
Shares 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD ) were up as well, rising 17.62 percent to $42.25 after the company posted an earnings beat Thursday morning.
Equities Trading DOWN Spirit AeroSystems (NYSE: SPR ) took a hit in early trading, falling 20.59 percent to $17.20 after the company revealed $590M in charges in its earnings statement Thursday.
Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX ) fell 18.75 percent to $13.16 Stifel Nicolaus lowered its price target on the company despite its strong earnings after the close Wednesday.
Shares of The New York Times (NYSE: NYT ) were also trading down, falling 12.07 percent to $9.37 following the company's big earnings miss Thursday morning.
Commodities In commodity news, oil traded down 0.48 percent to $88.30, while gold traded up 0.79 percent to $1,719.00.
Silver traded up 0.53 percent Thursday to $32.15.
Euro Zone In the Euro zone this morning it was announced that officials were seeking to give Greece two more years to make the necessary cuts to meet its budget goals. Preliminary findings from the IMF and the Troika have shown that Greece would need between 16 and 20 billion Euros to execute this plan.
The announcement sent European markets higher, as investors gained more confidence in the commission's ability to resolve key matters, with much of the rise coming from Greek shares unsurprisingly.
Economics Thursday was particularly heavy in economic news. Durable goods orders came in at 9.9 percent, above the expected 7.5 percent, and well above the prior figure of -13.1 percent. Durable goods ex transportation came in at 2 percent, beating the expected 0.9 percent and the prior figure of 2.1 percent.
The Chicago fed national activity index came in flat at 0, above the expected -0.20 and the previous number of -1.17.
Initial jobless claims were also reported, coming in at 369 thousand, slightly below the expected 370 thousand and the prior figure of 392 thousand. Continuing claims were reported as well, coming in at 3.254 million, below the expected 3.260 million, and the previous report of 3.256 million.

The Biggest Myth About Solar Power

Submitted by Wall St. Daily as part of our contributors program .
Mondays are myth-busting days in the Wall Street Daily Nation ! Today, I'm tackling a politically charged topic - alternative energy - by focusing solely on the economics.
What the heck does that mean? It means I have no political agenda.
I don't care what Governor Mitt Romney or President Obama said about alternative energy during last week's Presidential debate. All I'm concerned about is the investment potential of one of the most popular alternative energy sources: solar power.
Despite what you may think - or might have heard on Wall Street - it's not good. Here's why…
We'll See Grid Parity Tomorrow… or the Next Day… or the Next Day
I constantly remind subscribers that the most profitable time to invest in a new technology is just before it reaches the tipping point for market adoption.
3D Systems (NYSE: DDD ) - and 3-D printing in general - is the perfect example.
The technology's definitely hit the mainstream, as consumers can now buy a 3-D printer for under $1,000. (A few years ago, the cheapest version cost almost 10 times as much.) Not to mention, every newsletter editor and bulge bracket firm, like T. Rowe Price, is now recommending the industry for investment.
But guess what? Investors with the foresight to anticipate this inevitability (i.e. - prices dropping far enough to encourage widespread adoption) have already doubled their money. That includes WSD Insider subscribers. Indeed, the early bird on Wall Street gets the worm.
Under the same premise, Wall Street and industry insiders have been encouraging us to pile into solar stocks for years. They've been telling us the critical tipping point for solar - grid parity - was drawing ever closer.
Total myth!
If we put the enthusiastic projections from the biggest players in the industry on a timeline, it becomes evident that expectations for grid parity keep getting kicked down the road.
As you can see with Suntech Power Holdings ( STP ), each time an original projection drew nearer - and grid parity was still nowhere in sight - it simply made a new projection.
In November 2007, Suntech projected we'd see grid parity in five years. Then in February 2009, it said grid parity was still five years away. In 2010, yup, still five years. And in November 2011 - you guessed it - still five years away.
Of course, it didn't say "still" in any of its projections. So an investor tuning in for the first time to any of those comments no doubt got duped that grid parity was actually within reach. Let it be a lesson to always put any bold predictions into context.
Believe it or not, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) projections have been the most conservative and, in turn, the most accurate. In its latest report, the DOE SunShot Initiative said its "aspiration" was to reach grid parity by 2020.
How's that aspiration shaping up, though? Not so good!
The Tale of the Tape
As Catherine Wood and Brett Winton of AllianceBernstein, wrote, "Today, you'd need to charge $375 per megawatt hour to justify investment in new solar equipment - nearly four times the average U.S. retail price of electricity."
Those costs don't even take into consideration backup storage costs. After all, when the sun's not shining, you need a way to supply power.
Nor do they reflect real estate costs. As Wood and Winton rightly point out, utility-scale solar can't fit on real estate that's already paid for (i.e. rooftops). It requires land. Lots of it. And including real estate costs in the equation can double the cost of new solar power.
These estimates don't include costs to update power grids to control and manage the unpredictable delivery of solar power, either.
Put simply, solar power's still way too expensive. And now you know why steep government subsidies are commonplace.
As a general rule, I avoid investing in any company or industry that relies solely on government subsidies to remain relevant in the marketplace. Why? Because when the economics don't work on a standalone basis, neither do investments in the respective companies.
Don't believe me? Look at the two-year price performance for leading solar power players like First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR), SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWR), LDK Solar ( LDK ), Suntech and Yingli Green Energy ( YGE ).
Unsurprisingly, as grid parity projections keep fading into the distance, these stocks keep falling. They're all down by more than 60%.
Truth be told, the steep drops are what prompted me to put together this research. You see, investors see the selloffs and start licking their lips over the potential bargains. As I warned last Thursday , though, not every cheap stock is a bargain. Many are value traps.
Bottom line: Solar power's a legitimate alternative energy. It's clean and there's plenty of it. The only problem is, it's too darn expensive. So anyone running around screaming, "Grid parity is coming! Grid parity is coming!" is either lying or delusional.
We're years away from it, even longer if we strip out subsidies. Accordingly, the time to invest in solar stocks is not now.

Why the bear market is finally ending

All I have known is the bear market, and now it's over.
I began my career covering U.S. financial markets on April 1, 2000, less than three weeks after the peak of the Nasdaq bubble. I watched hundreds of stocks go to zero and witnessed the collapse of an entire industry of high-fee, growth-chasing tech funds. I saw Johnny-come-lately Pets.com sink into nothingness and witnessed the implosion of Worldcom, Enron, and later much of the U.S. financial system.
But something has been changing in the last few months. Bad news is increasingly shrugged off or ends up being not so bad after all. Greece and Spain have, for all practical purposes, already defaulted, but the euro has rallied. The U.S. economy has slowed but is still growing. China is worsening, yet steel, coal, and copper appear to have bottomed.
It's hard to know how exactly how the new bull market will unfold. Precious metals, agriculture, and domestic energy will probably be involved, but so will countless other stocks that get less attention, such as deathcare and firearms (two groups that interest me). But they usually begin quietly with large numbers of so-called experts remaining highly skeptical, which has been the case for the last few months.
The fact they're skeptical means that those same people are not in the market. That's actually bullish because stocks will go up as these investors come off the sidelines. The recent lack of selling pressure is another positive.
Since early August, the S&P 500 has ground higher, slowly but surely, with plenty of opportunities for people to sell at the highs. Yet it simply hasn't happened. This has been especially true in the last week.
There are reasons, obviously, to be cautious. Most people will cite "worries about Europe" or "a lack of stimulus from the Fed," but I see things differently. For me, the main concerns are technical chart patterns--namely, bearish momentum potentially affecting many charts.
The euro is a case in point. The CurrencyShares Euro Trust (FXE) has been getting squeezed higher and is now parked at its 200-day moving average. Does it keep rallying straight up? There is a good chance that the answer is no.
The same is true for a stock like Alcoa (AA). The downside risk looks minimal because it has formed some substantial support around $8 and could now be coming back from the dead. But it too is sitting at its 200-day moving average.
In my view, options make it easier to play these names. For example, we know that AA will probably hold $8. You can sell the October 8 puts for $0.05 and buy the October 11 calls for the same price, so you will pay nothing but the commission. If AA rallies, you'll clean up. If it drops to $8, you'll buy shares, but you'd want to buy at that support level anyway.
And if it does nothing, then the whole position simply goes away. That way you have long exposure but don't have to mess with all the back-and-forth that could occur at these levels over the next few weeks.
Alternatively, you can use the "strangled long" strategy: Say you want to own 200 shares. You then buy 100 for about $9.40 while selling 1 October 9 put for $0.23 and 1 October 10 call for $0.15, lowering your cost basis to about $9.02.
If it pulls back to $9, you get assigned another 100 shares for that price but, including the credit earned, that second block of stock would cost you $8.62. If AA rallies to $10, you will have to sell your 100 shares for that price. But including the credit, your effective exit would actually be $10.38.
Turning to researchLAB , two groups that have been grabbing some attention recently are the cruise ship operators and the commercial real-estate management companies. Both got battered by global economic worries, but they've also been outperforming the S&P 500 in the last month.
And don't forget about obesity drugs , which have pulled back after huge rallies and could now be ready for more upside. Finally, here are two smaller individual names trending higher that are now showing some nice pullbacks:
3D Systems (DDD) : Seems to be bouncing around the same $37 level where it peaked in early July. Earnings have been so-so, but revenue is growing around 50 percent a year and short interest is more than 30 percent of the float.
StemCells (STEM) : It started lifting in July after its use of adult stem cells showed promise treating Alzheimer's disease. Earnings were good in August and more positive data followed on Sept. 4. Small drug developers have been hot for more than a year now as potential takeover candidates, and STEM could now benefit from that trend as well.

The Best Stock Story in the World
Let the Mind Go Where It Will
In Case You Missed It
---
In this week's Stock Market Video, I see a strong market, but not a perfect one. There are lots of stocks doing well and the big indexes are all rallying, so it's time to get some money off the sidelines. Several factors, including the fact that it's August and some big macroeconomic uncertainties need resolution, indicate that it's not a time to jump into the deep end, but you should certainly be getting your feet wet. Stocks discussed include: 3D Systems ( DDD ), AO Smith ( AOS ), Weyerhaeuser ( WY ), SolarWinds ( SWI ), Under Armour ( UA ) and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) . Click below to watch the video!
The Best Stock Story in the World
When the big oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was fouling the waters and shores, there was some talk of oil-eating microbes that were experiencing a growth spurt from the additional food supply. And there was some hope that microscopic petroleum connoisseurs like Alcanivorax (one of my favorite oil eaters, and I hope one of yours) might actually help to mitigate the environmental damage.
As it turned out, the sheer bulk of the BP/Amoco spill overwhelmed the appetite of these willing bacteria, but the principle that a concentration of almost any resource will trigger a response from nature is a sound one. If it's edible, something will appear to eat it.
One resource (?) that we have right now is a superabundance of toxic debt, which is a blanket term for the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that inundated the financial world during the Housing Bubble. MBSs are bonds based on the revenue stream from a packet of mortgages, a foundation that the market found reassuring in 2007 because, after all, it was based on the value of housing, which was going to go up forever. Right?
Many people (me among them) see the massive amounts of rotten MBSs festering in the basement as the real reason the economic recovery is taking so long to develop. Taken collectively, banks and other financial institutions have so much toxic debt on their books that they're as risk-averse as fixed-income retirees. They have taken the money doled out by the government and put it into Treasuries rather than get back into mortgage lending.
But, as nature has taught us, there is something out there that will eat anything, and for toxic debt, that something is Ocwen Financial (OCN).
Ocwen used to be a conventional mortgage lender, back when that was still profitable. But these days the company has moved into the mortgage servicing business. That is, it takes over the billing of mortgage payments, the counseling of underwater homeowners and refinancing negotiations where possible, and foreclosures where necessary.
While Ocwen isn't buying MBS directly, the company's independent analysis of the actual value of the underlying mortgages allows the value of the bonds to be correctly adjusted to the reality of the market. Assigning values to junk mortgages is a job the banks haven't wanted, but they're willing to hand the work off to a reliable third party, and Ocwen is very good at it.
Analysts expect that about $4 trillion (with a "t") of mortgages will be farmed out to servicing companies in the next few years, and Ocwen Financial is expected to get a nice chunk of that business.
It's a great story, easy to understand and with enormous upside potential. But, of course, that's also what makes me think twice about it.
OCN began a steady climb in late 2010, climbing from below 9 to almost 17 in March 2012. A quick, seven-week correction to about 14.5 then gave way in May to a high-volume rally that kicked the stock to 20 in just 10 weeks. And then it really began to soar. From the end of July until now, OCN has roared to 25 before cooling off a little this week.
My point isn't just to torment you with the chart of yet another big winner that you've missed out on. You can get enough of that from any number of places.
No, my first point is that the power of a good story is so compelling that you have to work hard to protect yourself from it. I've know people who could tell the story of a stock at a cocktail party and have four or five listeners ready to put their life savings into it.
It happens that Ocwen Financial is a solid firm with good long-term earnings (and appearances in Cabot Top Ten Trader dating back to 2006 when it was just a mortgage lender) with a solid chart.
But story stocks sometimes have nothing but that story going for them, and that's not good.
---
The second point is that by the time you finally hear the story, it's often too late.
My brother on the West Coast has called me a few times after he's listened to a news story about a big event (the earthquake in China a few years back was one), wondering if there is a way to play the aftermath.
All I can say, usually, is that if there is a way to invest profitably, chances are that the big investors have already done it.
Finally, I would just point out that the best way I know of to find story stocks long before they become widely known is to have a single-minded researcher like Tom Garrity, editor of Cabot Small Cap Confidential, doing the data mining, analysis and writing. Tom's obsessive research routinely finds tiny stocks with monster potential long before the market does. If you have the patience to wait for one of Tom's compelling stories to assert itself, the results can be stunning.

This doesn't mean you should daydream. It means you should follow your thoughts and ideas to their logical conclusions, especially when they lead to roads less traveled. The best investments are often the ones that Wall Street has not yet discovered. Original thinking is difficult, and that's precisely why it can be very rewarding.

Stratasys Inc. ( SSYS ) reported second quarter 2012 earnings per share of 32 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents.
Revenue
Stratasys recorded total revenue of $49.4 million in the second quarter, up 31.0% from $37.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The quarter's revenue was particularly driven by the 126% year-on-year spike in sales of the company's higher margin Fortus 3D production systems. Consumable revenue jumped 34% year-over-year, which was also boosted by the strong performance of Fortus.
Incremental use of direct digital manufacturing applications, which provides comparatively higher utilization rate, continued to help the consumable segment's revenue.
Looking at the segments, Productsrevenue came in at $41.4 million, up 35.2% from $30.7 million reported in the year-ago quarter. Services revenue jumped 11.8% to $7.96 million from $7.13 million in the year-ago quarter.
Operating Results
Gross profit stood at $26.2 million (52.9% of the total revenue) in the quarter, up 32.6% from $19.7 million (52.2% of the total revenue) in the year-ago quarter. The gross margin improvement was due to efficient cost reduction measures.
Operating income in the quarter was $5.8 million versus $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2011. However, operating expense increased 49.3% year over year, primarily due to higher R&D and SG&A expenses. Operating margin of 11.7% dropped from 16.1% in the year-ago quarter. The company is offering lower-margin products, which has resulted in the reduction of margin.
The company reported net income of $3.02 million or 14 cents per share in the second quarter compared with $3.99 million or 18 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income was $7.0 million or 32 cents per share in the reported quarter.
Balance Sheet
The company exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $51.2 million, up from $24.4 million in the previous quarter. The company does not have any long-term debt.
Guidance
The company revised its guidance for fiscal 2012. Revenues are now expected in the range of $193.0 million to $198.0 million, versus previous guidance of $183.0 million to $193.0 million.
Non-GAAP earnings are projected to be between $1.31 and $1.38 per share, versus previous guidance of $1.29 to $1.38 per share. The company expects GAAP earnings between 83 cents and 98 cents per share, versus previous GAAP guidance of 97 cents to $1.13 per share.
Zacks Estimates for third quarter and fiscal 2012 was 43 cents and $1.72 respectively.
Conclusion
The second quarter results were encouraging with EPS exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues improving on a year-over-year basis. Moreover, the revenue growth in the Fortus 3D production systems helped revenue grow substantially.
Moreover, the company recently disclosed that, HP has agreed to discontinue their manufacturing and distribution agreement for 3D printers, effective at the end of 2012. Stratasys does not expect the contract termination to have a material impact on the business fundamental of the company.
However, we are a bit apprehensive about the company's high-cost business model and stiff competition from big and small players like 3D Systems Corp. ( DDD ). Nonetheless, the acquisition of Objet is expected to improve the growth of 3D systems business.
The company has a Zacks #3 Rank, which implies a short-term Hold rating on the stock.

3D Printers Graduate From Prototypes To End Products

A small machine called a replicator produced items seemingly out of thin air in the science-fiction series "Star Trek: The Next Generation." Today's rapidly evolving 3D printers may be a long way from conjuring a cup of Earl Grey tea, but they can whip up the cup.
The market for 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is growing fast with the machines used to make everything from plastic models of consumer goods to end products such as dental fittings and aviation components.
"Modeling and prototyping are still the biggest application (for 3D printing), but the fastest-growing application is making parts that go into final products," said Terry Wohlers, president of consulting firm Wohlers Associates. "That's what's really exciting. Aerospace and medical companies in particular (are using the technology)."
Overall spending on 3D printers is forecast to reach $1.5 billion this year, up 15% from 2011, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Troy Jensen. He expects the market to grow 16% a year, to about $5 billion by 2020.
Wohlers Associates believes 3D printers and services will generate $3.7 billion worldwide in 2015 and pass $6.5 billion in 2019.
Shares of leading 3D printer companiesStratasys ( SSYS ) and3D Systems ( DDD ) have been on a tear this year as investors have embraced their growth stories.
Stratasys of Eden Prairie, Minn., and 3D Systems of Rock Hill, S.C., are the top performers in IBD's machinery-materials handling and automation industry group. The 10-stock group ranked No. 51 on Friday out of 197 industry segments.
In addition to the top 3D printing companies, the group includes makers of forklift trucks and hoists likeCascade ( CASC ),Columbus McKinnon ( CMCO ) andNacco Industries ( NC ).
It also includesPerceptron (PRCP), which makes non-contact measurement and inspection systems for industrial and commercial applications.HollySys Automation Technologies (HOLI) is a provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China.
But it's 3D printing that's driving interest in the industry group.
1. Business
The technology for three-dimensional printing has been around since the late 1980s. What's exciting people now are new applications, improved quality and lower-cost equipment.
"In the commercial market, the declining prices of the printers is stimulating new applications and greater usage of the machines," said James Ricchiuti, an analyst with Needham & Co.
Advances allowing the printers to use different and better materials has enabled more end-use parts, such as for dental fittings, hearing aids and medical applications, he says.
Low-cost 3D printers are attracting hobbyists who want to tinker around with the technology, Ricchiuti says. "It's still very early to see how this technology fares in the consumer market," he said.
Additive manufacturing is the process of building a solid 3D object by joining materials, usually layer upon layer. The systems read blueprints generated by computer-aided design models or 3D scanners to create parts that could be difficult or expensive to make any other way.
The automotive, aerospace, architecture, consumer goods and health care industries are all early adopters of the technology.
In the health care field alone, 3D printers are being used to make custom-fit hearing aids, as well as orthopedic and dental implants like crowns, bridges and caps. More than 500,000 3D-printed dental implants now are in patients worldwide, IBISWorld reports.
3D printing also is being used to produce models to help surgeons plan for complex surgeries.
2. Market
The "bread and butter" for 3D printer makers is high-end and mid-range machines, Wohlers says. Last year, manufacturers sold 6,050 machines costing $5,000 or more. Such 3D printers typically sell for $15,000 to $500,000.
The emergence of compact, low-end 3D printers costing $1,000 to $2,000 in the last few years has opened up the market to consumers. Last year, about 23,000 machines costing less than $5,000 were sold, Wohlers says.
Many of them went to do-it-yourselfers who make crafts, jewelry and other items. Schools also bought a lot of those cheaper machines, he says.
3D Systems started shipping a new product in May called the Cube home 3D printer. It retails for $1,300 and can print plastic objects as big as a 5.5-inch cube.
3. Climate
3D printers help companies cut the time it takes to develop new products and produce one-of-a-kind or limited-run items. This, in turn, reduces the time to market for new products and speeds delivery of other products.
If 3D printers can offer a competitive advantage to manufacturers, analysts argue, they're likely to stay in demand despite the macroeconomic uncertainty.
But 3D printer sales have been cyclical. Industry unit sales were flat in 2008, down in 2009 and up the past two years.
Those slack years opened the door for industry consolidation.
The most active acquirer has been 3D Systems, which has purchased more than 20 companies since late 2009. Its biggest deal was buying Z Corp. and Vidar Systems for $135.5 million cash in January.
Stratasys has been conservative on the acquisition front, but is expected to close its merger with Israel-based Objet within weeks.
If the 3D printing market continues to grow as it has, 3D Systems and Stratasys themselves could become acquisition targets by industrial giants.Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) already has a reseller relationship with Stratasys.
"The next level for some of these companies would be an acquisition by a major corporation," Wohlers said.
A host of smaller companies could be in play as well, including Stockholm-based Arcam; EOS, a Germany-based laser specialist; EnvisionTec, also in Germany; and San Jose-based Solido.
4. Outlook
Production materials act as a critical hurdle in the adoption of 3D printing as the market shifts from making models and prototypes to finished end-use products. Traditional manufacturing can choose from thousands of plastics, metals and other materials for producing goods. But the 3D printing space has only a couple hundred materials, Wohlers says.
Also, 3D printer companies look to those materials as a profit center, much like HP and other 2D printer firms view ink and paper. The prices for materials used in 3D printing have to be competitive with materials used in traditional manufacturing, Wohlers says.
Currently, the plastics and metals used by 3D printers are much more expensive than what's available elsewhere. But the materials are sized and formatted to fit the printers.
If Stratasys and 3D Systems "cling to this old way of thinking" about printer consumables, he cautions, they could be outpaced by other companies selling cheaper materials.
A risk for investors: the 15-minutes-of-fame factor. The hype over the technology may be getting ahead of the 3D printer market growth.
"It's never got so much attention before," Wohlers said, pointing out recent coverage by USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and CBS Radio News. "The press can't seem to get enough of it."

Advances allowing the printers to use different and better materials has enabled more end-use parts, such as for dental fittings, hearing aids and medical applications, he says.

Stratasys Inc. ( SSYS ) reported earnings per share of 26 cents in the first quarter of 2012, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Revenue
Stratasys reported total revenue of $45.0 million in the first quarter of 2012, up 30.0% from $34.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The company saw substantial revenue growth, with revenues from the consumable segment expanding 30%. The company also witnessed 61.0% year-over-year sales growth from the Fortus 3D production system.
The company recorded a record jump in system shipments, which stood at 822 units for the first quarter of 2012 compared with 567 units for the same period last year.
Segment wise, revenues from Products came in at $37.5 million, up 33.6% from $28.10 million reported in the year-ago quarter. Services revenue jumped 14.4% to $7.4 million from $6.48 million in the year-ago quarter.
Operating Results
Gross profit stood at $23.0 million (51.0% of the total revenue) in the quarter, up 25.8% from $18.3 million (52.8% of the total revenue) in the year-ago quarter. Significant gross margin improvement was due to efficient cost reduction measures.
Operating income in the quarter was $7.2 million versus $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. However, operating expense increased 30.1% year over year, primarily due to higher R&D and SG&A expenses. Operating margin of 34.9% remained flat on a year-over-year basis. The company is offering higher-margin products, which helped them to keep their margin intact.
The company reported net income of $4.5 million or 21 cents per share in the first quarter compared with $5.0 million or 23 cents per share in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income was $5.6 million or 26 cents per share in the reported quarter.
Balance Sheet
The company exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $24.4 million, up from $20.1 million in the previous quarter. The company does not have any long-term debt.
Guidance
For fiscal 2012, the company expects GAAP EPS to be in the range of 97 cents to $1.13, while the non-GAAP EPS would be $1.29 to $1.38.
Conclusion
The company reported impressive first quarter results with EPS matching the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenue improving on a year-over-year basis. Moreover, the revenue growth in the consumable segment helped revenue grow substantially. Additionally, the company's new collaboration with technology-major Hewlett-Packard Company ( HPQ ) is expected to drive growth going forward.
However, we are a bit apprehensive about the company's high-cost business model and stiff competition from big and small players like 3D Systems Corp. ( DDD ). Although the latest acquisition of Objet may add some value to its 3D systems business.
The company has a Zacks #1 Rank, which implies a short-term Strong-Buy rating on the stock.

Three dimensional (3D) printer manufacturers Stratasys Inc. ( SSYS ) recently disclosed its intention to merge with Objet Ltd. to form a company which is expected to have a value worth $1.4 billion.
The merged entity would be christened as Stratasys Ltd. The Chairmanship would be held by Stratasys CEO Scott Crump, while the current CEO of Objet David Reis will hold the position of a CEO.
The newly-formed Stratasys Ltd. will be based in Eden Prairie and Rehovot, Israel. Each company will select four members from their existing board to form a nine-member board of the new company. The ninth member will be selected by, Stratasys with the approval of Objet.
Stratasys believes that the deal will have a positive impact on the earnings of the company over the next 12 months, which is expected to result in annual cost savings of $7.0 million to $8.0 million. This apart, the annual growth rate is expected to be at least 20%, non-GAAP operating margins of 20.0%-25.0% (which looks feasible) and non-GAAP net margins of 16.0%-21.0%.
The company has always been active on the M&A front and the acquisition of Solidscape, Inc. for $38.0 million was beneficial for the company. This helped Stratasys to enter 3D printers market applicable for the jewelry, medical and dental industries. There is significant potential for business expansion in the under-penetrated jewelry market and the relatively undeveloped medical, dental and industrial markets.
Solidscape's 3D printers are used in the manufacture of these products, which is consistent with Stratasys' strategy to venture into new markets for direct digital manufacturing applications. Stratasys will in turn support Solidscape product development with the aim of producing systems that target new applications. So M&A actions have worked well for the company, helping it to venture into some uncharted territories.
The company reported impressive fourth quarter results with EPS exceeding our expectation and revenue improving on a year-over-year basis. Additionally, the company's collaboration with technology-major Hewlett-Packard Company ( HPQ ) is expected to drive growth going forward. This apart, the increasing revenue generation ability of the newly acquired Solidscape is another positive.
However, we are a bit apprehensive about the company's high-cost business model and stiff competition from big and small players like 3D Systems Corp. ( DDD ).
The company has a Zacks #3 Rank, which implies a short-term Hold rating on the stock.

By Robert Hallberg :
Part of being a successful contrarian investor is being able to watch trends, see how the world is changing and adapt to it. The small changes of today will grow into large shifts tomorrow. In the world of technology the new breakthroughs of today will serve as building blocks for advancements in the future. Of course, no one knows exactly what the future entails, but by watching trends you can anticipate how the world will shape up over the next couple of years
The only thing that is guaranteed in life, other than death and taxes, is change. Some people are afraid of change and stubbornly cling on to the "old way of things," but the successful forward looking investors and visionaries embrace change and benefit from it. By adapting to change and adjusting your strategies you are likely to find opportunities early, before most others.
Technology is not only changing and becoming more advanced but the rate of the change is also increasing. According to inventor and futurist Ray Kurzwiel, advancements in technology are growing exponentially. You can see this exponential growth in the semiconductor industry. In 1965 Gordon E. Moore predicted that the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit would double about every 18 months. Despite early critics and naysayer the rate of growth in computing power has only increased over the past decades; now doubling every 12-14 months.
Despite all these advancements it may not feel like technology is growing exponentially. Sure, new computer models are being released every year. But we rarely see new revolutionary technologies, or do we? Part of the reason we may not feel the rapid growth of technological innovations is because we look at the world from a day-to-day perspective. Not much happens from day-to-day and once a new technology has emerged we quickly take it for granted and we feel that it has been around all along.
But radical changes are taking place even though we don't notice them in our busy lives. You may appreciate these changes more by looking at the progress made over the last five, ten, and twenty years. For example, if someone would have told you 20 years ago that there would be a virtual network connecting everyone on the globe, or that people would carry pocket size device (smart phones) that with a press of a button can access almost all human knowledge, many would probably not have believed you.
The chart below shows the rapid growth in technology. Just during the last 100 years the progress in technology has exploded, and we should expect this growth to continue. The internet has made the distribution of information available to virtually anyone; fostering an environment for collaboration and sharing of ideas. In addition, there are currently more engineers and scientists in the field today than all the accumulated engineers and scientists throughout history. The combination of these two variables will lead to greater growth in the field of science with evermore discoveries and innovations.

Emerging trends
We may be closer to new scientific breakthroughs than most people realize. In a not so distant future; innovations currently in infant stages, in computer technology and biotechnology will emerge and change the world beyond recognition. The building blocks are already in place, serving as a foundation for new innovations. I see the following trends emerging over the years and decades to come.
Miniaturization of computers
Computers are becoming smaller and smaller. They have shrunk from gigantic mainframe computers the size of a house in the 1960s, only available in universities and government laboratories, to desktop computers, laptops, and now smart phones. At the current rate of change, computers will soon be small enough to fit inside your clothing.
Moore's law is still alive and well and the rate of growth is only increasing in speed; now doubling almost every year. Just last year, a technology revolution occurred, with the advent of the Tri-Gate transistor, and almost nobody outside the high-tech world noticed. In May, Intel displayed what they call the Tri-Gate transistor; a three-dimensional transistor in which electrons flow not just in a flat channel but along three sides of a raised fin. What's significant about this chip is not only its improved computing performance, but it will be smaller and only use half the power of a regular chip; thereby generating less heat. All this means faster, lighter, and cooler computers. The chip is scheduled to enter the market sometimes in 2012.
As computers continue to shrink in size the necessity for a different communicate interface is needed. A keyboard and mouse worked well for a stationary desktop or laptop but those tools are not as effective for a smartphone or even smaller devices. Luckily, there are already devices in development capable of communicating with the user through other means such as responding to a user's eye movements.
Google ( GOOG ), for example is already working on glasses with a built in heads-up display that has the ability to connect to a wireless network. It has been rumored by employees at Google that the glasses will communicate with your smart phone through Bluetooth and provide data on your location via GPS and motion sensors. It will connect to Google's cloud and relay information of your surroundings, including locations or friends nearby and objects that they look at, allowing you to make calls, use a number of different applications, and connect with friends.
Controlling the glasses will be a bit unique; you will need to tilt your head to scroll and click when reading through information on the display. But sources at Google have said that this function is actually a lot easier to use than it sounds, and will not be noticeable to others.
Meanwhile, Lumus limited is another company also developing a new line of video glasses that the user can see through. The transparent lenses displays to the eye what looks like an 87-inch screen, while allowing you to see what's going on in front of you at the same time.
The video quality is currently at 720p, with a 1080p version in development. The glasses can display content from devices like an iPhone through the use of a special adapter. Besides watching movies, the idea is that the glasses could be used for things like presentations, where you want to read a speech while focusing on your audience or for directions to a location while you're walking around.
Biotechnology
Computers, smart phones and other electronic devices may be receiving most of coverage by the media, but it is not the only field where technology is making a lot of progress. Rapid advances are also being made in biotechnology and biomedicine. For example, scientists at MIT developed a double-stranded RNA activated caspase oligomerizer (DRACO) drug last year that can fight viruses as effectively as antibiotics fight bacteria. It is designed to trigger suicide in cells that have been infected by a virus. In lab tests, it was effective against 15 viruses, including the rhinovirus, which causes colds; H1N1 influenza; dengue fever; and poliovirus.
Other progress on the horizon is in made in nanomedicine, which is basically the application of nanotechnology to medicine like diagnosis and treatment of disease. There are several applications within the realm of nanotechnology that are making headway.
These applications include; diagnostics, sensors and surgical tools used outside the patient, imaging agents and monitoring technologies that can be used for diagnostic and sensing on a cellular level inside of the patient, and finally biomaterials used for drug delivery and tissue engineering to promote tissue repair.
Nanotechnology and Nanomedicines is still in an infant stage with first generation technologies like liposomes and PEGylated used for delivering pharmaceutical drugs and nutritional supplements. But more sophisticated nanotechnology is in development.
For example, advancements are being made in technology that can be used to treat cancer. One promising new technique, currently in a development stage, involves delivering a drug made up of small packages of nanoparticles to a tumor. Once the packages are surrounding the cancerous cells, ultrasound will be directed at the target, breaking the packages and releasing the drug to killing the tumor. Other unrelated lines of research include using antibodies to deliver gold or other metallic nanoparticles to a cancer cell and then use radio waves to heat up the metal and burn the cells in the tumor.
We may still be far away from the ultimate goal of having live nanobots (live molecular size robot) in our bodies able to travel to a problem cell and repair it on the fly without any other intervention or medical procedures. Nonetheless, advancement in this area has already been made. Researchers at Harvard have made an organic type of nanobot from DNA with the ability to seek out specific cells and give a set of molecular instruction; like telling cancer cells to kill themselves.
All this is great but what are the investment implications? So far many of the cutting edge companies in the field of nanomedicine are still privately held, backed by venture capital. But a day will come when these companies go public. In the meantime, a public company to watch is Arrowhead Research Corporation ( ARWR ), a nanomedicine company developing leading drug-delivery systems.
Commercialization of 3D Printing
A revolution in manufacturing is under way. It is in its infant stage, but it will likely reach epic proportions in this coming decade. This technology will turn the economics of manufacturing upside down and change the way products are made, marketed and sold.
Despite relatively unknown, this industry is already generating $1 billion in sales. And the stage is set for massive growth in the years to come. Manufacturers of 3D printers like 3D Systems ( DDD ) and Stratasys ( SSYS ) are both generating more than $140 million per years in revenue, and growing rapidly.
Prominent clothing designers, aerospace companies, automotive manufacturers, and consumer electronics companies are already using 3D additive manufacturing (3D printing) to quickly produce prototypes. 3D printing allows them to quickly and inexpensively go from the drawing board to tangible model or prototypes. Many of the products you have at home today have been designed and prototyped with the help of a 3D printer. But we haven't seen anything yet, and real change will take hold once these devices become so inexpensive that every family can afford one.
What exactly is 3D printing?
It is simply the process of putting together a three dimensional object, layer by layer, as opposed to the traditional practice of subtractive manufacturing where multiple subcomponents make a final product. The advantage of 3D additive manufacturing is that one machine, the 3D printer, builds the part from start to finish without the need for any additional processes, treatments, or special handling. 3D printing starts with a three-dimensional CAD drawing that is fed to the 3D printer. The printer then employs one of six manufacturing technologies to create the desired object.
The possibilities for this technology are virtually limitless and somewhere in the future lies the vision that we can instantly download a drawing and manufacture any products, anytime and anywhere. We may well be a decade(s) away from this technology becoming mature, but once here it will revolutionize the way of commerce, just like the internet did in the 1990's.
Investment Implications
How does these emerging technologies relate to investing? These technologies are still in their infant stages but at some point some emerging companies is going to deliver these products to the market at an affordable price point. And perhaps the next Microsoft ( MSFT ) or Apple (AAPL) has already been born.
Huge returns will be made by investors with the insight to find the next great innovator. The chart shows the returns of the technology leaders of the last decade. Whether companies like 3D Systems, Stratasys, Lumus Limited, or Arrowhead Research Corporation will become the new leaders in their field remains to be seen. Nonetheless, we should expect to see exciting new technologies emerging over the next couple of years.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Stratasys Inc. ( SSYS ) reported earnings per share of 28 cents in the fourth quarter of 2011, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents.
Revenue
Stratasys reported total revenue of $43.57 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, up 28.3% from $33.96 million in the year-ago quarter. The sales momentum was particularly strong during the final weeks of the year, resulting in a record year-end backlog, which includes over $12 million in system orders. Consequently, the company looks to be well positioned as we begin 2012.
System shipments totaled 700 units for the fourth quarter of 2011, up from 632 units for the same period last year.
Segment wise, revenues from Products came in at $36.20 million, up 32.2% from $27.39 million reported in the year-ago quarter. Services revenue jumped 12.0% to $7.37 million from $6.58 million in the year-ago quarter.
Operating Results
Gross profit stood at $22.8 million (52.5% of the total revenue) in the quarter, up 32.9% from $17.2 million (50.6% of the total revenue) in the year-ago quarter. Significant gross margin improvement was witnessed as revenue growth exceeded the increase in cost of sales.
Operating income in the quarter was $8.89 million versus $6.15 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. However, operating expense increased 26.5% year over year, primarily due to higher R&D and SG&A expenses. The growth in higher-margin products as well as a continued favorable product mix of high-margin products contributed to the quarter's significant margin expansion.
The company reported net income of $5.78 million or 27 cents per share in the fourth quarter compared with $4.30 million or 20 cents per share reported in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP net income, which excludes certain discrete items but includes stock-based compensation expense, came in at $6.11 million or 28 cents per share in the fourth quarter compared with $4.20 million or 20 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
Balance Sheet
The company exited the fourth quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $20.1 million, up from $15.2 million in the previous quarter. The company does not have any long-term debt.
Guidance
For fiscal 2012, the company expects revenue in the range of $175 million to $190 million. Earnings are expected in the range of $1.02 to $1.13 per share.
Conclusion
The company reported impressive fourth quarter results with EPS exceeding our expectation and revenue improving on a year-over-year basis. Additionally, the company's new collaboration with technology-major Hewlett-Packard Company ( HPQ ) is expected to drive growth going forward. This apart, the increasing revenue generation ability of the newly acquired Solidscape is another positive for the company.
However, we are a bit apprehensive about the company's high-cost business model and stiff competition from big and small players like 3D Systems Corp. ( DDD ).
The company has a Zacks #3 Rank, which implies a short-term Hold rating on the stock.

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF (Symbol: DDIV), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $33.98 per unit.
With DDIV trading at a recent price near $29.49 per unit, that means that analysts see 15.23% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DDIV's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Starwood Property Trust Inc. (Symbol: STWD), Mid-America Apartment Communities Inc (Symbol: MAA), and Lamar Advertising Co (Symbol: LAMR). Although STWD has traded at a recent price of $19.89/share, the average analyst target is 26.70% higher at $25.20/share. Similarly, MAA has 19.78% upside from the recent share price of $161.64 if the average analyst target price of $193.62/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting LAMR to reach a target price of $112.25/share, which is 18.52% above the recent price of $94.71. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of STWD, MAA, and LAMR:
Combined, STWD, MAA, and LAMR represent 8.24% of the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF. Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
NAME SYMBOL RECENT PRICE AVG. ANALYST 12-MO. TARGET % UPSIDE TO TARGET
First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF DDIV $29.49 $33.98 15.23%
Starwood Property Trust Inc. STWD $19.89 $25.20 26.70%
Mid-America Apartment Communities Inc MAA $161.64 $193.62 19.78%
Lamar Advertising Co LAMR $94.71 $112.25 18.52%
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – August 12, 2022 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. ETFs recently featured in the blog include: Cambria Value & Momentum ETF VAMO, First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Value ETF DVLU, Invesco S&P MidCap Value with Momentum ETF XMVM, First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF DDIV and Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF SPVM.
Here are highlights from Thursday’s Analyst Blog:
5 Momentum ETFs That Offer Value
Wall Street has been in decent shape in recent weeks on strong corporate earnings reports, slower-than-expected future Fed rate hikes and a bet that markets have reached a bottom. Stocks in the United States and Europe had their biggest monthly increase since November 2020 (read: Stocks' Best Month Since 2020: Top ETF Areas of July).
Investors' hope that slowing inflation and slowing growth may keep the Fed to ease plans to push up interest rates boosted equities throughout the month. Cheaper valuation after a downbeat first-half also aided equities.
The S&P 500, the Dow Jones, the Nasdaq Composite and the Russell 2000 added 8%, 5.6%, 11.4% and 9.1%, respectively in July (as of Jul 29, 2022). Some earnings came in upbeat to close out the month. Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc. both beat revenues estimates. In July, Amazon shares gained 27%, marking their biggest monthly rally since October 2009.
The rally in Wall Street came despite 41-year high inflation, GDP contraction for the second-straight quarter and yet another Fed rate hike worth 0.75%. Against this backdrop, investors can rely on high momentum investing. While the past movement of the price of a stock cannot be used to predict its future movement, history shows that recent past performance can be a pretty good predictor of short-term future performance.
The momentum effect, which refers to the tendency of winning stocks to keep winning, has been documented in many academic studies. Enthusiastic investors love to bet bigger on high fliers, even ignoring fundamentals at times. With investors' optimism at its peak, we would like to note that the following momentum ETFs maybe tapped now.
Momentum investing might be an intriguing idea for those seeking higher returns in a short spell. It looks to reflect profits from buying stocks that are sizzling on the market. But looking at value is necessary now, given still-present inflationary threats.
Below we highlight a few momentum ETFs that have a P/E below 21.70 times of SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF (Symbol: DDIV), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $36.81 per unit.
With DDIV trading at a recent price near $28.91 per unit, that means that analysts see 27.33% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DDIV's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Newell Brands Inc (Symbol: NWL), ONEOK Inc (Symbol: OKE), and Valley National Bancorp (Symbol: VLY). Although NWL has traded at a recent price of $19.17/share, the average analyst target is 46.06% higher at $28.00/share. Similarly, OKE has 32.29% upside from the recent share price of $55.03 if the average analyst target price of $72.80/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting VLY to reach a target price of $13.40/share, which is 30.10% above the recent price of $10.30. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of NWL, OKE, and VLY:
Combined, NWL, OKE, and VLY represent 7.09% of the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF. Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF (Symbol: DDIV), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $37.19 per unit.
With DDIV trading at a recent price near $28.75 per unit, that means that analysts see 29.35% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DDIV's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are New Residential Investment Corp (Symbol: NRZ), Kimco Realty Corp (Symbol: KIM), and Brixmor Property Group Inc (Symbol: BRX). Although NRZ has traded at a recent price of $8.25/share, the average analyst target is 50.50% higher at $12.42/share. Similarly, KIM has 43.38% upside from the recent share price of $18.75 if the average analyst target price of $26.88/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting BRX to reach a target price of $27.83/share, which is 42.37% above the recent price of $19.55. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of NRZ, KIM, and BRX:
Combined, NRZ, KIM, and BRX represent 7.46% of the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF. Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Brixmor Property Group Inc BRX $19.55 $27.83 42.37%
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now?

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF (Symbol: DDIV), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $36.56 per unit.
With DDIV trading at a recent price near $32.80 per unit, that means that analysts see 11.45% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DDIV's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Spirit Realty Capital Inc (Symbol: SRC), PNC Financial Services Group (Symbol: PNC), and CubeSmart (Symbol: CUBE). Although SRC has traded at a recent price of $46.55/share, the average analyst target is 14.34% higher at $53.23/share. Similarly, PNC has 13.82% upside from the recent share price of $193.70 if the average analyst target price of $220.47/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting CUBE to reach a target price of $55.33/share, which is 12.79% above the recent price of $49.06. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of SRC, PNC, and CUBE:
Combined, SRC, PNC, and CUBE represent 7.77% of the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF. Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
NAME SYMBOL RECENT PRICE AVG. ANALYST 12-MO. TARGET % UPSIDE TO TARGET
First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF DDIV $32.80 $36.56 11.45%
Spirit Realty Capital Inc SRC $46.55 $53.23 14.34%
PNC Financial Services Group PNC $193.70 $220.47 13.82%
CubeSmart CUBE $49.06 $55.33 12.79%
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF (Symbol: DDIV), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $20.82 per unit.
With DDIV trading at a recent price near $18.70 per unit, that means that analysts see 11.32% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DDIV's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Seagate Technology plc (Symbol: STX), Procter & Gamble Company (Symbol: PG), and Portland General Electric Co. (Symbol: POR). Although STX has traded at a recent price of $47.71/share, the average analyst target is 12.90% higher at $53.87/share. Similarly, PG has 12.37% upside from the recent share price of $116.82 if the average analyst target price of $131.27/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting POR to reach a target price of $50.12/share, which is 12.36% above the recent price of $44.61. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of STX, PG, and POR:
Combined, STX, PG, and POR represent 6.89% of the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF. Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
NAME SYMBOL RECENT PRICE AVG. ANALYST 12-MO. TARGET % UPSIDE TO TARGET
First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF DDIV $18.70 $20.82 11.32%
Seagate Technology plc STX $47.71 $53.87 12.90%
Procter & Gamble Company PG $116.82 $131.27 12.37%
Portland General Electric Co. POR $44.61 $50.12 12.36%
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog:
5 Hot Dividend ETFs Worth Buying Now
The Fed's shift to a patient approach on interest rates after lifting rates for three years has returned the lure for dividend investing this year. This is because higher interest rates took the sheen away from dividend investing, pushing bond yields higher and making them attractive. Now, with lower interest rates, the appeal for dividend stocks is on the rise once again.
Though these stocks don't offer much price appreciation in the rising stock market, they offer steady stream of income along with the potential of capital gains. Dividend-focused products offer safety in the form of payouts and stability in the form of mature companies that are less volatile to large swings in stock prices.
Dividend paying securities are the major sources of consistent income for investors to create wealth when returns from the equity market are at risk. The companies that pay dividends generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty and provide downside protection by offering outsized payouts or sizable yields on a regular basis (read: Top-Ranked ETF Winners in Dow's Longest Rally in 24 Years ).
Further, research shows that dividend stocks often outperform their non-dividend paying counterparts over longer periods. According to Chicago-based Greenrock Research, a portfolio with the top 20% of the S&P 500 companies ranked by dividend yield and weighted by market capitalization, outperformed the overall S&P 500 by 2.13 percentage points annually from 1995 to 2018.
In particular, stocks having a history of dividend growth lead to a healthy portfolio when compared to simple dividend paying stocks or those with high yields. Although these stocks do not necessarily have the highest yields, they have outperformed for a longer period than the broader stock market or any other dividend-paying stocks.
That being said, we highlight five dividend ETFs that have generated strong returns this year but might be overlooked by investors given their lower AUM. These products seem to be compelling picks given renewed demand for dividend investing (read: 4 Best-Performing Sector ETFs of February ):

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel , we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Dividend ETF (Symbol: DDIV), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $27.59 per unit.
With DDIV trading at a recent price near $25.01 per unit, that means that analysts see 10.35% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DDIV's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are KAR Auction Services Inc. (Symbol: KAR), Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (Symbol: MXIM), and American Tower Corp (Symbol: AMT). Although KAR has traded at a recent price of $57.52/share, the average analyst target is 14.09% higher at $65.62/share. Similarly, MXIM has 13.91% upside from the recent share price of $55.71 if the average analyst target price of $63.46/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting AMT to reach a target price of $164.50/share, which is 13.89% above the recent price of $144.44. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of KAR, MXIM, and AMT:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Among the three key U.S. equity gauges, the Dow Jones won in 2022 only to lag the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq in the first half of 2023. However, the blue-chip index rebounded in the second half of this year as it has gained 9.6% in the past six months (as of Dec 15, 2023) compared with 7.8% gains in the S&P 500 and 6% uptick in the Nasdaq.
Last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average attained a historic landmark, reaching a record high, thanks to the Federal Reserve's dovish stance and tone. Investors seeking to tap the winning Dow Jones trend can consider SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA, iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY, First Trust Dow 30 Equal Weight ETF EDOW and Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD. Investors who want a leveraged exposure may bet on ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW.
Let’s delve a little deeper.
Market Projections
Some analysts believe that the economy's strength and the Federal Reserve's dovish tone as key factors in the market's positive trend. Thus, the further strength in the Dow Jones is anticipated, reflecting a shift from focusing on potential risks to recognizing positive developments.
Revised Rate Cut Expectations
After raising the policy rate by 5.25 percentage points since March 2022 – in one of the Fed’s fastest and biggest rate hike campaigns – it has now held the rate steady since July on cooling inflation. Now, in contrast to earlier projections of a 0.50% rate cut, the Fed now anticipates a series of three 25-basis-point rate cuts in 2024.
The central bank foresees the peak of the fed funds rate at 4.6% in 2024, down from the previous projection of 5.1%, indicating a 0.75% rate cut in the upcoming year. The federal funds rate is expected to be falling to 3.6% – indicating four quarter-point cuts – by 2025. No Fed officials see rates higher by the end of next year.
Inflation and Economic Growth Projections
The Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) revealed the Fed's core inflation outlook, expecting it to peak at 2.4% next year, lower than the previous 2.6% projection. The Federal Reserve expects a further decline in inflation to 2.2% by 2025.
Notably, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, the Fed's preferred inflation measure, showed a reading of 3.5% for October, down from 3.7% in September and 4.3% in June. The Fed’s target for this index is 2%.
The Fed forecasts economic growth for 2023 to hit 2.6%, considerably higher than its September projections of 2.1% growth. For 2024, GDP growth is expected to be 1.4%, slightly lower than 1.5% forecast in September. GDP growth data for 2025 is kept constant at 1.8%.
Steepening Yield Curve in the Cards?
As recessionary fears are ebbing, inflation has been falling and the Fed is likely to cut rates from 2024, a steepening of the yield curve is expected next year. A steepening yield curve is great for bank stocks as the pattern boosts banks’ net interest rate margins. Since Financials take about 20.7% of the Dow Jones’ portfolio, the scenario is a key plus for the Dow Jones.
Information Technology Rally to Continue in 2024
Buoyed by steadily decreasing inflation and a simultaneous reduction in the magnitude and number of interest rate hikes by the Fed, the technology sector has witnessed an astonishing rally in 2023. This happened, tech stocks outperform in a low-rate environment. Despite its higher valuation, the tech rally is likely to gather more pace in 2024 due to low rates.
A lower interest rate will decrease the discount rate, which in turn will raise the net present value of investment. Moreover, many of these companies rely on credit from chip sources to fuel their growth.
Relatively Cheaper Valuation
Cheaper valuation is another tailwind. At the current level, Dow Jones has a P/E of 16.82X, whereas the S&P 500 has a P/E of 17.86X and the Nasdaq-100 has a P/E of 22.70X. This was because the Dow Jones suffered a lot in the first half of 2023, which provided the index the scope to fare better from the second half.

ETFs to Play Dow Jones' Solid Catch-Up

Amid the ongoing broad market rally driven by bets of the Fed nearing an end to its interest rate hike cycle, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is catching up pretty well, hitting its highest level in nearly two years. In fact, the blue-chip index has been outperforming over the past three months, rising 5.1% compared with a 3.6% gain for the broad market S&P 500 Index.
Investors seeking to tap the strength in the Dow Jones trend can consider SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA, iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY, Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD, First Trust Dow 30 Equal Weight ETF EDOW, Nationwide Dow Jones Risk-Managed Income ETF NDJI, ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW.
The S&P 500 is about 4% below its all-time high reached in January 2022, while the Dow is just 1.2% below its record. The outperformance came as the rally broadened out in recent weeks after the astounding surge of the “Magnificent Seven” stocks. Cyclical stocks, bank stocks and small-cap stocks have all shown an upward trend, indicating that the market is in a state of expansion, supporting the uptrend in equities (read: Magnificent Seven ETFs: A Review of 2023 & What Lies Ahead).
According to Bespoke, the Dow Jones has notched an all-time high on a total return basis, which includes dividend payments. The index is up 12% this year on a total return basis.
Being cyclical in nature, the blue-chip index outperforms when economic growth improves. Americans are now feeling more confident about the economy than they did over the past few months. This is especially true as consumer sentiment, as indicated by the preliminary reading on the University of Michigan preliminary index, rebounded sharply in early December and broke the streak of four consecutive months of decline (read: ETFs Set to Gain Amid Robust Holiday Consumer Sentiment).
Inflation is slowing, which will eventually lead to potential cuts to short-term interest rates by the Fed, leading to more growth on the way.

ETFs to Tap Dow Jones' Longest Winning Streak Since 2017

After lagging the S&P 500 and Nasdaq for most of the year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is finally catching up. The blue-chip gauge climbed for nine consecutive sessions, marking the longest winning streak since Sep 20, 2017.
Investors seeking to tap the rebound in the Dow Jones trend can consider SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA, iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY, Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD, ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW.
The comeback is mainly driven by rotation to value stocks. Value stocks and other previously lagging sectors of the market are rebounding over the past two weeks as investors are looking for undervalued or underperforming stocks. The Dow Jones is currently valued at a P/E ratio of 18.64 times forward 12 months compared with the S&P 500’s 20.37 and Nasdaq 100’s 29.32, according to the data from Barron’s.
Additionally, earnings optimism is instilling confidence in the blue-chip index. The rounds of solid corporate earnings from Dow constituents like Johnson & Johnson JNJ, Travelers TRV, UnitedHealth UNH, Morgan Stanley MS and Bank of America BAC are driving the blue-chip index higher.
Further, improving economic indicators, such as strong job numbers, rising consumer spending, and robust manufacturing activity, helped Dow Jones to move higher. Being cyclical in nature, the blue-chip index outperforms when economic growth improves.
U.S. consumer prices in June registered their smallest annual increase in over two years, reviving hopes that the Fed was nearing the end of its interest rate increases. The Consumer Price Index rose 3% year over year and 0.2% over the last month. Easing inflation indicates that the economy is stabilizing and interest rates may decline. Consumer sentiment, as indicated by the University of Michigan preliminary index, jumped to an almost two-year high in July. Meanwhile, homebuilder sentiment also climbed for the seventh straight month and is hovering at the highest level since June 2022 (read: 5 ETFs to Ride on Soaring 2-Year High Consumer Sentiment).

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average wrapped up its biggest weekly gain since March, buoyed by better-than-expected results from Wall Street banks and UnitedHealth (UNH). Additionally, positive momentum in homebuilding activities, easing inflation and rising consumer sentiment added to the strength. Notably, the blue-chip index was up 2.3% against declines of 0.2% for the Nasdaq Composite Index and 0.1% for the S&P 500 (read: S&P 500 Reclaims 4,500 Level: 5 Best Stocks in ETF).
Investors seeking to participate in the Dow Jones rally can consider SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA, iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY, Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD, ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW.
JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) and Wells Fargo (WFC) reported quarterly results that surpassed expectations on both revenue and earnings. UnitedHealth rose more than 7% after topping Wall Street estimates in its second-quarter results. The health insurer also raised its full-year profit outlook, citing cost-cutting measures. Meanwhile, homebuilders like DR Horton (DHI), PulteGroup (PHM) and Lennar (LEN) experienced significant gains after Bank of America expressed confidence in the sector, stating expectations of continued growth in homebuilding activity.
U.S. consumer prices in June registered their smallest annual increase in over two years, reviving hopes that the Fed was nearing the end of its interest rate increases. The Consumer Price Index rose 3% year over year and 0.2% over the last month. Easing inflation indicates that the economy is stabilizing and interest rates may decline. Consumer sentiment, as indicated by the University of Michigan preliminary index, jumped to an almost two-year high in July (read: 5 ETFs to Gain as Inflation Drops to a 2-Year Low).
ETFs to Bet
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA)
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF is one of the largest and most popular ETFs in the large-cap space, with AUM of $29.4 billion and an average daily volume of 4 million shares. Holding 30 blue-chip stocks, the fund is widely spread across components, each having less than a 9.2% share. Financials (20.2%), information technology (18.8%), healthcare (18.6%), industrials (14.8%) and consumer discretionary (13.7%) are the top five sectors.

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF (Symbol: DDM), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $70.27 per unit.
With DDM trading at a recent price near $63.67 per unit, that means that analysts see 10.37% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DDM's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Goldman Sachs Group Inc (Symbol: GS), Home Depot Inc (Symbol: HD), and Johnson & Johnson (Symbol: JNJ). Although GS has traded at a recent price of $336.56/share, the average analyst target is 16.40% higher at $391.76/share. Similarly, HD has 15.13% upside from the recent share price of $288.07 if the average analyst target price of $331.65/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting JNJ to reach a target price of $183.31/share, which is 12.72% above the recent price of $162.62. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of GS, HD, and JNJ:
Combined, GS, HD, and JNJ represent 12.98% of the ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF. Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
NAME SYMBOL RECENT PRICE AVG. ANALYST 12-MO. TARGET % UPSIDE TO TARGET
ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM $63.67 $70.27 10.37%
Goldman Sachs Group Inc GS $336.56 $391.76 16.40%
Home Depot Inc HD $288.07 $331.65 15.13%
Johnson & Johnson JNJ $162.62 $183.31 12.72%
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

After Winning in 2022, What Awaits Dow Jones ETFs in 2023?

Among the three key U.S. equity gauges, the Dow Jones won in 2022 asSPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA (down 9.1% past year as of Jan 8, 2022) beat its peers SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY (down 16.7%) and the Nasdaq (down 31%).
What Helped the Dow Jones in 2022?
The Dow Jones beat its peers because as rates were hiked to tame high inflation. Lenders demand higher interest rates to make up for the decline in purchasing power of the money that lenders will be repaid in the future. And rising rates are good for value stocks than growth ones as the latter’s cash flows come way out in the future.
The Dow Jones seems to be more immune to inflationary threats. The index has a better value quotient (0.14) than the S&P 500 (0.03), per etf.com. Investors should note that among the big three U.S. indexes, the Nasdaq seems to be the least immune to inflation as the index is tech heavy with about 60% exposure. The tech sector is high-growth in nature and thus the Nasdaq Composite tends to slide the most on a day that reports a spike in inflation. This explains the Nasdaq’s horrible performance last year.
Plus, the Dow Jones has highest exposure (20.78%) to healthcare stocks. Healthcare stocks are recession-proof in nature. Cheaper valuation was another tailwind. At the current level, Dow Jones has a P/E of 17.99X while the S&P 500 has a P/E of 21.70X. This was because the Dow Jones has suffered a lot in 2021, which provided the index leeway to fare better in 2022.
Will Dow Jones Top in 2023 Too?
With the economic setting remaining more-or-less the same, we expect the Dow Jones and value stocks to rule in 2023 as well. The Fed may slow down the rate hike momentum in 2023 as a lot has been done to tame inflation last year on the Fed front.
But we do not expect the Fed to pivot in 2023. To see the Fed cutting rates again, we may have to wait for another year. After all, the personal consumption expenditure (PCE) price index in the United States increased 5.5% in November 2022, which is way higher than the Fed’s target of 2%.
As far as valuation is concerned, the Dow Jones is still the cheapest among the big three U.S. equity gauges. If the U.S. economy hits a soft-landing in 2023, the Dow Jones will still rule as the index is heavy on value sectors like healthcare and financials. Industrial takes the third spot in the index.
Against this backdrop, investors may bet on Dow Jones ETFs like SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust DIA, Guggenheim Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD, iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY, ProShares Ultra Dow30 DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW.

Dow Jones Enters New Bulls Market: ETFs to Play

After logging in back-to-back monthly gains, the Dow Jones Industrial Average entered into a new bull market, rallying 20% from its September lows. This indicates that the Santa rally may come early this year (read: 5 Sector ETFs That Beat The Market in November).
Investors seeking to participate in the Dow Jones’ rally can consider SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA, iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY, Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD, ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW.
Fed’s dovish comments and signs of cooling U.S. inflation raised hopes that the central bank will become less aggressive on interest-rates hikes. In the latest speech, Chairman Jerome Powell signaled that rate hikes could slow as soon as next month. This has renewed investors’ interest in riskier assets. Traders expect the Fed to increase rates by 50 bps in December, with the rates peaking in June 2023.
Additionally, the rounds of data underscore an improving economy, which can avoid a recession. The economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.9% in the third quarter, an upgrade from its initial estimate and the overall employment market remains strong. Consumer spending continued despite higher inflation.
The holiday season started with a huge bang despite concerns about inflation and higher prices that bolstered further optimism into the stock market to end November. Consumers spent a record $9.12 billion, up 2.3% year over year, on online shopping during Black Friday this year, according to Adobe. Cyber Monday online sales reached a record $11.3 billion in online shopping, up 5.8% year over year (read: 5 ETFs to Splurge on Cyber Monday Record Sales).
Holiday spending is expected to be healthy despite inflationary challenges, with retail sales likely to grow 6-8% from the 2021 level during November and December to $942.6-$960.4 billion, per the National Retail Federation. Holiday online sales are forecast to increase 10-12% to $262.8-$267.6 billion, up from $238.9 billion in 2021.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.

October Marks Best Month for Dow Since 1976: ETFs in Focus

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has just logged its best month since 1976, per CNBC. The Dow is up 14% in October, which would be its best month since 1976. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are also up for the month, which helped Wall Street to snap a two-month losing streak.
Notably, the Dow Jones (down 9.6%) has beaten the S&P 500 (down 18.2%) and the Nasdaq (down 29%) this year as rates rose to tame high inflation. This happens because lenders demand higher interest rates to make up for the decline in purchasing power of the money that lenders will be repaid in the future. And rising rates are good for value stocks than the growth ones as the latter’s cash flows come way out in the future.
Dow Jones Rich With Value Stocks
The Dow Jones seems to be more immune to inflationary threats. The index has a better value quotient (0.14) than the S&P 500 (0.03), per etf.com. Investors should note that among big three U.S. indexes, the Nasdaq seems to be the least immune to inflation as the index is tech heavy with about 60% exposure. The tech sector is high-growth in nature and thus the Nasdaq Composite tends to slide the most in a day that reports a spike in inflation. This explains the Nasdaq’s horrible performance this year.
Favorable Sectoral Exposure
Plus, the Dow Jones has highest exposure (22.08%) to Healthcare stocks. Healthcare stocks are recession-proof in nature. The Dow Jones also has some industrials and consumer discretionary companies in its kitty. These are economically-sensitive sectors and often perform better in a rising rate environment.
Oil Rally
Furthermore, it has been noticed lately that the Dow Jones shares a deep relationship with oil price movement. Though the energy sector rally spreads optimism over the broader market as a whole, in most cases, on a particular day of oil surge, the rise in the Dow Jones is steeper than that of the S&P 500, or vice versa. WTI crude fund United States Oil Fund, LP USO has added about 16.5% past month
Cheaper Valuation
At the current level, Dow Jones has a P/E of 18.55X while the S&P 500 has a P/E of 21.70X. This has happened because the Dow Jones suffered a lot in the peak of the pandemic.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average wrapped up its best month since 1976, surging about 14% in October. Notably, the blue-chip index has significant exposure to cyclical sectors like energy and industrials, which were the biggest winners in October.
Investors seeking to participate in the Dow Jones’ rally can consider SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA, iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY, Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD, ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW.
The monthly gains were driven by the hopes that the Fed could soon moderate its aggressive tightening stance in light of weakening economic data. According to CME Group, traders have become more confident the Fed will reduce its rate hike plans from three-quarters to half a percentage point at its December meeting. Many on Wall Street are expecting that the Fed could pause its hikes or reduce its rate hike size in the near future. Additionally, investors are betting that traditional stocks like banks will lead the next bull market (read: 4 ETF Areas Up At Least 10% Last Week).
The rally came despite the disappointment from large tech companies such as Meta Platforms META and Amazon AMZN.

3 ETFs That Track the Dow Jones Industrial Average

The Dow Jones Industrial Average may be the most well-known index in the U.S. Yes, even more than the S&P 500.
Developed by Charles Henry Dow, the Dow (as it's now often referred to) just contained 12 companies when it first began in 1896. Now, the index consists of 30 of the best blue-chip stocks in the U.S. and is considered by many to be the foremost indicator of the health of the broader financial market.
The DJIA is organized so that a $1 move in any company's stock price will shift the Dow average by the same degree. However, the Dow is expensive to invest in outright (most investors use futures, for example).
Still, there are a few ways that investors can profit from the Dow, including using exchange-traded funds that track the index. Here are a few ETFs that track the Dow:
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA)
The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF is a reliable ETF for replicating the performance of the Dow. It was launched in 1998 and has a history of tracking the index accurately. When most people think of an ETF to invest in, this is the one that comes to mind. DIA invests in all the stocks of the Dow and weights them comparatively to the underlying index. Expenses for DIA are also relatively low at 0.17%, allowing for minimal tracking error.
Nationwide Dow Jones Risk-Managed Income ETF (NDJI)
NDJI is an actively managed fund that invests in a portfolio of securities included in the DJIA. The ETF uses an options collar strategy to mitigate volatility and provide a measure of downside protection. It also generally uses a “replication” strategy when investing in the Dow but will switch to a “representative sampling” at the sub-advisor’s discretion and when it’s believed to be in the fund’s best interest. NDJI seeks high levels of monthly income generated from both the dividends received from equity holdings and premiums from the options collar. The fund offers a tactical investment opportunity for investors who may believe that infrastructure is due to experience a supercycle. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.68%.
ProShares Ultra Dow30 (DDM)
Investors bullish on the returns of the Dow can look at this leveraged ETF from ProShares. The Ultra Dow30 is a leveraged ETF that seeks to replicate two times the daily performance of the DJIA. The fund invests in a number of securities to achieve its objective. Investments include equity securities from the index, derivatives including SWAP agreements and futures contracts, and money market instruments for short-term cash management. The fund's expense is a bit higher at 0.95%.

Dow Jones Reclaims 34,000: ETFs to Ride On

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 34,000 for the first time since May, led by a jump in the retail space. Notably, the blue-chip index has significant exposure to the cyclical sectors like retail and consumer discretionary.
Investors seeking to participate in the Dow Jones’ rally can consider SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA, iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY, Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD, ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM, and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW.
The stronger-than-expected results from retailers like Walmart WMT and Home Depot HD spread an air of optimism as the solid results suggest strong consumer spending despite the recessionary fears and higher inflation. Walmart jumped 5.1% after the retailer forecast a smaller drop in full-year profit than previously projected, while Home Depot gained 4.1% after it beat estimates for quarterly sales (read: What's in Store for Retail ETFs As Big-Box Q2 Earnings Unfold).
The slowdown in inflation last month brought much-needed relief to the stock market and perked up investor sentiment. This, coupled with recession fears, has spurred bets that the Fed could start lowering the pace of rate hikes. Additionally, consumer sentiment improved in August from a record low earlier this summer. The University of Michigan’s preliminary sentiment index rose to a three-month high of 55.1 from 51.5 in July. Further, commodity prices have also fallen on recessionary fears, thereby providing a boost to investors’ sentiment.

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF (Symbol: DDM), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $79.85 per unit.
With DDM trading at a recent price near $65.75 per unit, that means that analysts see 21.45% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of DDM's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Visa Inc (Symbol: V), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (Symbol: GS), and Microsoft Corporation (Symbol: MSFT). Although V has traded at a recent price of $196.71/share, the average analyst target is 38.52% higher at $272.48/share. Similarly, GS has 37.14% upside from the recent share price of $327.00 if the average analyst target price of $448.44/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting MSFT to reach a target price of $363.46/share, which is 29.77% above the recent price of $280.07. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of V, GS, and MSFT:
Combined, V, GS, and MSFT represent 15.35% of the ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF. Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
NAME SYMBOL RECENT PRICE AVG. ANALYST 12-MO. TARGET % UPSIDE TO TARGET
ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM $65.75 $79.85 21.45%
Visa Inc V $196.71 $272.48 38.52%
Goldman Sachs Group Inc GS $327.00 $448.44 37.14%
Microsoft Corporation MSFT $280.07 $363.46 29.77%
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

With stocks trading near their all-time highs as the economy continues to bounce back from the pandemic lows of 2020, Wednesday represents a special day for equity traders and stock index ETF investors: the 125th birthday of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The Dow Jones, which debuted over a century ago with just 12 members, has climbed to nearly 35,000, as it currently trades just off its best levels historically. The famed index's best year was in 1915, when the benchmark rallied 81.7%. Meanwhile, the index's greatest losses came in the post-Depression year 1931, when it sank 52.7%.
The index of those first 12 companies closed its first trading day, May 26, 1896, at just 40.94. The group was made up of companies like General Electric Co., a still-prominent member of the index, as well as bygone companies like American Cotton Oil and Distilling & Cattle Feeding.
Each year the Dow has gained an average of 7.69%, scoring 1,464 record closes, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It first scrambled above 100 in 1906, crested 1000 in 1972, and finished above 10000 in 1999.
For ETF investors looking at investing in Dow stocks outside of the famous SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA), there are a number of options to choose from.
iShares Dow Jones US ETF (IYY)
IYY seeks to track the investment results of the Dow Jones U.S. Index composed of U.S. equities. The fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in securities of the underlying index and in depositary receipts representing securities of the underlying index. The underlying index aims to consistently represent the top 95% of U.S. companies based on a float-adjusted market capitalization, excluding the very smallest and least liquid stocks. It has a lower 0.20% expense ratio and offers exposure to a broad range of large- and mid-sized U.S. companies.
ProShares Ultra Dow30 (DDM)
Investors bullish on the returns of the Dow can look at this leveraged ETF from ProShares. The Ultra Dow30 is a leveraged ETF that seeks to replicate two times the daily performance of the DJIA. The fund invests in a number of securities to achieve its objective. Investments include equity securities from the index, derivatives including SWAP agreements and futures contracts, and money market instruments for short-term cash management. The fund’s expense is a bit higher at 0.95%.
ETF investors can also explore the following funds for value and dividend investing:
iShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF (VLUE)
VLUE seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI USA Enhanced Value Index, which is composed of U.S. large- and mid-capitalization stocks with value characteristics and relatively lower valuations.
VLUE generally will invest at least 90% of its assets in the component securities of the underlying index and may invest up to 10% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash, and cash equivalents. The index is based on a traditional market capitalization-weighted parent index, the MSCI USA Index, which includes U.S. large- and mid- capitalization stocks.
WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Fund (NYSEArca: DLN)
DLN seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Index, which is a fundamentally weighted index that is comprised of the large-capitalization segment of the U.S. dividend-paying market.
KFA Small Cap Quality Dividend Index ETF (KSCD)
KSCD seeks exposure to companies with reliable dividend growth and a strong record of stable cash flows, healthy balance sheets, and durable business models, according to KraneShares. KSCD uses a smart beta strategy and provides dividend growth strategies that can potentially improve performance in down markets.
The fund invests 80% of its assets in the Russell 2000 Dividend Select Equal Weight Index. The index “takes a smart beta approach to investing in U.S. small cap companies,” per KraneShares. “The strategy seeks to measure the performance of US companies that have successfully increased their dividend payments over a period of ten years.”

About Kenneth Fisher : The son of Philip Fisher, who is considered the "Father of Growth Investing", Kenneth Fisher is a money manager, bestselling author, and longtime Forbes columnist.

How to Play Dow's Best-Ever Gains With ETFs

On Dec 26, the Dow Jones Industrial Average registered its best one-day point gain in history. The Dow added about 1,086.25 points on that day, marking 4.98% gains. The gauge now sits at 22, 878.45. This year has been extremely volatile for the index with 7.84% loss.
Let's see what drove the Boxing Day gain.
Oil's Recent Gains
Oil ETFs United States OilUSO and United States Brent Oil BNO gained about 6.6% each on positive comments from the Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak about the stability in the oil patch in the first six months of 2019. He sees higher oil prices early next year due to fresh output cut. Energy shares led a rally on price jump and Vanguard Energy ETF (VDE) added about 6.4%.
It has been noticed lately that Dow Jones shares a deep relationship with oil price movement. Though the latest energy sector rally has spread optimism in the broader market as a whole, in most cases, on a particular day of oil surge, the spurt in the Dow Jones is steeper than that of the S&P 500, or vice versa (read: Oil Sees Strong Start to 2018 in 4 Years: ETFs to Play ).
Rally Retail Shares
There was a superb rally in retail shares as holiday shopping season has emergedas the best in six years. Total U.S. retail sales, excluding automobiles, rose 5.1% year over year between Nov 1 and Dec 24, according to Mastercard SpendingPulse , which tracks both online and in-store spending with all forms of payment. As a result, the index shot up on economic euphoria. VanEck Vectors Retail ETF (RTH) added 5.8% on Dec 26(read: Holiday Sales Strongest in Six Years: ETFs Set to Surge ).
Cheaper Valuation
Since the start of the fourth quarter, Wall Street has been on a tumultuous ride. Renewed global growth worries, no definite solution to U.S.-China trade tensions, constant volatility in the oil patch and a flattening yield curve in the United States which invoked recessionary fears at times weighed on the market (read: Not Sure About 2018 Santa Rally? Buy 5 Low P/E Momentum ETFs ).
Amid such market doldrums, Dow Jones suffered its worst week since the global financial crisis of 2008, tumbling about 6.9% in the Dec 17-21 timeframe. So, many investors decided to dig into the weaker valuation.
ETFs in Focus
Though we are not sure how long the rally will continue, investors intending a momentum play, can bet on DIA, Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF (DJD) (up 4.0% on Dec 26) and iShares Dow Jones US ETF (IYY) (up 5.03%).
Investors can also settle for leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Here, ProShares Ultra Dow30 (DDM) (up 9.7% on Dec 26) and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 (UDOW) (up 14.4% on Dec 26)are a couple of choices.

The U.S.-China G-20 meet unexpectedly brought the much-needed relief for Wall Street. In the meet, China's president Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to not announce any new tariffs for 90 days .
The news came in as better than expected given that market participants were skeptical ahead of the Saturday meet. President Trump had previously warned of increasing the existing 10% tariff on $200 billion of imported Chinese goods to 25% in January. And suddenly a pause for three months set a party mood for the investing world, especially the United States and Asia (read: Hedge Portfolio With These ETFs Ahead of Trump-Xi G-20 Meet ).
To add to the short-term trade truce, good news came flowing in from the oil patch also. Oil, which suffered a lot in November, jumped after Russia and Saudi Arabia announced plans to prolong their output cut deal into 2019, although both parties are yet to confirm any fresh output cuts. Still, oil prices are likely to hold firm in the coming sessions on abating concerns of a supply glut.
And last but not the least, the Fed chair Jerome Powell said on Nov 28 that interest rates are "just below" neutral, which means that they are neither speeding up nor slowing down the economy's growth. This was against his October comments that interest rates were a "long way" from neutral. The latest comments from Powell were seen as dovish and stocks soared (read: Will Powell, Valuation & Holiday Season Power Momentum ETFs? ).
Investors should note that, the S&P 500's multiple has been squeezed 15% from the year-ago level to 15.8 times the forecast earnings , hovering around the cheapest level since early 2016. All these make markets ready for a steady and continued uptrend in the near term.
Futures Steady
The futures market remained pretty solid with Brent crude for February increasing about 2.3% a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate for January delivery increasing 3.2% . December Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 have already added 1.9%, 2.1% and 1.7%, respectively,
Below we have highlighted five ETF areas that could offer stellar gains in the coming days. These funds should continue to be investors' hot-favorite provided the sentiments remain the same.
China
Direxion Daily China 3x Bull Shares (YINN)
The trade-truce is likely to bode well for Chinese stocks.The fund offers 300% of the performance of the FTSE China 50 Index, which consists of the 50 largest and most-liquid public Chinese companies currently trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Nasdaq
ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) is a triple-leveraged Nasdaq-100 ETF, while ProShares Ultra QQQ (QLD) offers 200% of the daily performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index.
S&P 500
ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (SSO) corresponds to twice (200%) the daily performance of the S&P 500 while Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X Shares (SPXL) offers 300% of the S&P 500 (read: S&P 500 to Gain After Election: Leveraged ETFs in Focus ).
Dow Jones
ProShares UltraPro Dow30 (UDOW) intends to correspond to triple (300%) the daily performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while ProShares Ultra Dow30 (DDM) looks to offer twice the daily performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Semiconductor

A cessation in trade dispute is expected to favor Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x SharesSOXL , which gives exposure to 300% of the performance of the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index.

Time to Bet on Dow ETFs This Thanksgiving Week?

After languishing in October on rising rate worries, U.S. stocks bounced back in November. SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETFDIA which fell about 5.8% last month, has advanced 0.4% this month (as of Nov 16, 2018) (read: Top ETF Stories of October ).
In any case, the Thanksgiving week has historically proven beneficial for the Dow Jones. According to the Stock Trader's Almanac, the Dow gained in the week before Thanksgiving about 19 times of the past 24 years . Since 1988, the Dow went up 18 of the last 29 times on Wednesday and Friday of Thanksgiving week, as quoted on CNBC.
Let's take a look at the factors that could earn the Dow Jones bountiful returns this Thanksgiving week.
U.S.-China to Negotiate on Trade?
The reason for which the Dow Jones gained on Nov 16 was the possible trade truce between the United States and China. Stocks moved northbound after President Trump said that he was hopeful that the United States and China could reach a deal on trade . Trump and the China's president Xi are scheduled to meet in Buenos Aires on the side-lines of G20 meeting on Dec 1 .
Already, the auto sector has started rejoicing on the news that the Trump administration may postpone, probably even brush off the move that could impose new tariffs of up to 25% on imported vehicles and car parts.
Oil's Gains
Furthermore, it has been noticed lately that the Dow Jones shares a deep relationship with oil price movement. In most cases, on a particular day of oil surge, the spurt in the Dow Jones is steeper than that of the S&P 500 or vice versa.
And oil prices could see an uptrend all over again with Saudi Arabia and OPEC mulling over a fresh oil output cut , as increasing output, signs of falling demand growth and weaker-than-expected U.S. sanctions on Iran's energy sector hint at oversupply next year (read: Brent in Bear Market: 4 Country ETFs to be Cautious About ).
WTI fund United States Oil (USO) added about 0.8% on Nov 16, while United States Brent OilBNO has advanced about 0.9%.
Upswing in Manufacturing Sector
Manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the United States. An uptick in manufacturing numbers can act as a strong tailwind to Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth, in our opinion. After all, Dow Jones-based ETF DIA invests about 21% weight - the highest allocation - in the industrial sector.
Notably, the IHS Markit US Manufacturing PMI was revised down to 55.7 in October of 2018 from a preliminary 55.9, but slightly higher than 55.6 in September. This marked the highest reading in five months as there is a sharp uptick in new business.
How Long Will the Rebound in Dow Last?
If there are positive developments related to Washington-Beijing trade deal in the coming days and in the oil price thanks to the OPEC-led renewed output cuts, the Dow could surge higher (read: Oil in Bear Market: Leveraged ETFs to Gain From ).
ETFs in Focus
So, investors intending a momentum play, can bet on DIA, Invesco Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETFDJD and iShares Dow Jones US ETFIYY . Investors can also settle on leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Here, ProShares Ultra Dow30DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30UDOW are a couple of choices.

How to Play Dow Jones' Surge With ETFs

The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high on optimism around global trade. The United States reached a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada governing $1 trillion worth of trade. The new agreement, called the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, is expected to be signed by leaders of the three countries in November before moving to Congress for approval.
The dual tailwinds of solid corporate earnings and a booming economy are driving the stock market higher despite the escalating U.S.-China trade disputes. This is especially true as the American economy is on a solid growth path. U.S. GDP growth expanded 4.2% annually in the second quarter, representing the fastest pace of growth in nearly four years. The unemployment rate dropped to nearly a two-decade low of 3.9%, while consumer confidence jumped to the highest level since October 2000. Historic tax cuts, higher government spending and deregulation are fueling growth (read: Consumer Confidence Soars to 18-Year High: 5 ETFs to Buy ).
Additionally, the Fed is on track for gradual rate hikes this year, citing that the economy is strong and can handle a tighter monetary policy. The central bank, which began to the tighten monetary policy in 2015, has raised rates thrice this year and is expected to do so again in December. A rising rate scenario also signals a strengthening economy, which is spurring stock market growth.
Meanwhile, total third-quarter earnings are expected to be up 17.9% year over year on 7.3% higher revenues. This would follow 25.5% earnings growth in the second quarter on 9.8% revenue growth, the highest growth pace since 2010.
Given this, we have highlighted some ETFs that could be compelling choices for investors seeking to ride the bull run in the Dow.
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA
The ETF tracks the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It holds 30 stocks in its basket with highest allocation going to Boeing BA while other securities hold less than 6.9% share. The fund is widely spread across sectors with industrials, information technology, financials and healthcare occupying the double-digit allocation each. DIA is one of the largest and most popular ETFs in the large-cap space with AUM of more than $22.5 billion and average daily volume of 4 million shares. It charges 17 basis points (bps) in fees per year from investors and has a Zacks ETF Rank #2 (Buy) with a Medium risk outlook (read: Top and Flop ETFs of September ).
iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF IYY
This fund follows the Dow Jones U.S. Index, holding a broad basket of 1,246 stocks with none accounting for more than 3.7% of assets. Information technology, health care, financials and consumer discretionary are the top four sectors. The ETF charges 20 bps in annual fees and trades in moderate volume of about 20,000 shares a day. It has amassed $1.3 billion in its asset base and has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold) with a Medium risk outlook.
ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM
This ETF is a leveraged play that provides twice (2x or 200%) the return of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It has AUM of $439.2 million and trades in good volume of more than 615,000 shares on average. The product charges 95 bps in annual fees.
ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW
This product also tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average but offers three times exposure to the index. It has amassed $507.4 million in its asset base and trades in a solid average daily volume of more than 975,000 shares. Expense ratio comes in at 0.95% (read: 6 Best Performing Leveraged ETFs of September ).
Investors should note that though DDM and UDOW could lead to huge gains in a very short time frame when compared to traditional funds, these run the risk of huge losses in a fluctuating or erratic market.

InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
CNA Financial Corp (NYSE: CNA ) currently pays a dividend yield of 2.6% which is above the Financials sector median of 2.1%. While this makes the total return potential for Cna Financial look attractive, investors may change their mind when analyzing the company's future dividends.
Source: Shutterstock
In this article, I calculate Cna Financial's fair value by forecasting its dividend distributions and discounting them back to today's value.
Valuation Methodologies Are Not Made Equally
The Dividend Discount Model (DDM) estimates the value of a company's stock price based on the theory that its worth is equal to the sum of the present value of its future dividend payments to shareholders.
But how do we know if it's appropriate to use a dividend discount analysis when estimating the fair value of Cna Financial? Many analysts find it difficult when trying to figure out the correct valuation methodology for a given company or are biased towards one specific approach. This is often a mistake which can negatively impact investment decisions and result in trading losses or missed opportunities. No two companies are the same and every business consists of unique characteristics that may require you to adjust your analysis.
7 Perfect Dividend Stocks
Understanding leverage trends is the first step when determining what valuation analyses are relevant for a given company. When a company's leverage doesn't fluctuate or is expected to remain stable over time, then an equity valuation model (e.g. equity DCF, DDM) will be the most appropriate valuation technique. The reason for this is because when leverage is stable, interest expense on debt can typically be projected with much more reliability.
How do we check if a company's leverage has been fluctuating or is expected to do so? This isn't always straightforward but checking recent debt ratio trends can be a good indicator. Cna Financial's debt to equity ratio has been relatively stable over last few years ranging from 21.8% to 23.7%. This suggests that an equity valuation model is a suitable technique when valuing the company's shares. Now does it make sense to use a dividend discount model knowing that an equity valuation technique is an appropriate methodology?
The next step is to figure out if Cna Financial pays a dividend and if so, is its payout ratio relatively high (typically above 70%)? The table below highlights this information.
Source: Cna Financial dividend discount model
Cna Financial distributed a total of $842 million in cash dividends to shareholders in its most recent fiscal year Dec-17 which represented a payout ratio of 93.7%. It appears that the company meets both criteria. Therefore, it is fitting to use a dividend discount model when determining the fair value of Cna Financial stock.
Forecasting Cna Financial's Dividends
The first step in building a dividend discount model is to forecast net income since forecasting dividends directly can be difficult. So let's create a net income forecast for the next five years and use that as the basis for projecting future dividends.
As of June 21, Wall Street analysts are projecting a mediocre growth rate in the company's bottom-line over the next five years. Net income is expected to reach $1,413 million by fiscal year 2022.
Source: Cna Financial Projected Net Income Growth
I use the net income projections above to serve as the basis for my dividend forecast. The next step is to forecast the payout ratio where I selected 90.0% for the next fiscal year which is in line with historical levels.
Source: Cna Financial dividend discount model
Calculating Cna Financial's Fair Value
The last step is to select a discount rate to calculate the present value of the forecasted dividends. I used finbox.io's Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) model to help arrive at an estimate for the company's cost of equity.
I determined a reasonable discount rate for Cna Financial to be 9.6% at the midpoint. An updated cost of capital analysis using real-time data can be found at finbox.io's Cna Financial WACC model page.
The assumptions used in the dividend discount model calculate a fair value per share for Cna Financial of $48.23, 4.2% above its current stock price. As a result, investors may conclude that they want to hold off on purchasing shares until the stock develops a wider margin of safety.
Conclusion: Dividends Support Stock Price
Discovering the fair value of a company can sometimes be difficult. However, determining an appropriate valuation methodology should not be. Knowing when and when not to use the dividend discount model will help in your investment decision making process.
However, it's important to understand that a dividend discount model will inherently undervalue a stock. This is typically the result of the payout ratio assumption being less than 100% implying some cash leakage. Meaning the approach does not capture value that would otherwise build up as cash on the balance sheet. In practice, this excess retained cash is usually paid out to shareholders as special dividends or to make up for cash shortfalls for future dividends during economic downturns.
4 Transportation Picks to Reward You With Handsome Dividends
Understanding that this approach calculates a conservative fair value estimate may be a promising sign for investors looking to purchase shares or add to an existing position. Since CNA looks to be trading near its intrinsic value based on the analysis above, this could actually represent a 'downside' case meaning an 'upside' case could have a much larger margin of safety.
Note that there are a number of fundamental factors I have not considered in this analysis. I recommend that you continue your research on Cna Financial to gain a better understanding of its future prospects.

Matt Hogan is also a co-founder of finbox.io. His expertise is in investment decision making. Prior to finbox.io, Matt worked for an investment banking group providing fairness opinions in connection to stock acquisitions. He spent much of his time building valuation models to help clients determine an asset's fair value. He believes that these same valuation models should be used by all investors before buying or selling a stock.

DOW ETFs: More Upside Ahead?

When Trump was elected as the President of the United States, the Dow Jones Industrial Average entered into a party mode. Looks like nothing can come in the way of the Dow Jones industrial average which has set itself on a steep upward trajectory since Trump's win.
In its northbound march, the blue-chip index crossed 25,000 for the first time in its 120-year history on Jan 4. At the close on Jan 4, the Dow was at 25,075.13. The index breached the 20,000-mark on Jan 6, 2017 and the rest is history. Let's see what's driving such a monumental rally.
Tax Bill
Trump's pledges of fiscal stimuli and deregulation acted as the main tailwinds. The tax bill was passed in late December and cuts "the corporate rate from 35% to 21%, gives pass-through businesses like the Trump Organization a 20% tax deduction, raises the standard deduction, expands the child tax credit, and temporarily lowers individual rates across the board (read: Tax Bill: What ETF Investors Need to Know )."
Uptick in Manufacturing Activity
Manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the United States. An uptick in manufacturing numbers can act as a strong tailwind to Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth, in our opinion. After all, Dow Jones-based ETF SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF TrustDIA invests about 20% weight, the highest allocation, in the industrial sector.
Notably, the U.S. manufacturing sector grew in December at the quickest clip in three months, as gains in orders and output marked the strongest year for factories since 2004 . The survey-based measure of factory activity for 2017 came in at 57.6, the best in 13 years. Needless to say, such data pushed the Dow Jones Index higher. Moreover, Trump's plans of increased infrastructure spending was instrumental in the Dow rally.
Oil's Recent Gains
Furthermore, it has been noticed lately that Dow Jones shares a deep relationship with oil price movement. Though the energy sector rally has spread optimism in the broader market as a whole, in most cases, on a particular day of oil surge, the spurt in the Dow Jones is steeper than that of the S&P 500, or vice versa (read: Oil Sees Strong Start to 2018 in 4 Years: ETFs to Play ).
Oil prices made a comeback recently. WTI fund United States OilUSO added about 22.7% while United States Brent OilBNO advanced about 23.9% in the last three months (as of Jan 4, 2018).
How Long Will the Dow Rally Last?
If there are no further developments related to Trump's pro-growth policies in the coming days or in the oil patch, the rally is likely to stall. In any case, the U.S. market is guilty of overvaluation.
As per an article published on nytimes, we are presently in the second longest bull market . So, chances of pullback in an already inflated market are always there. Even if the sell-off is not acute, the index and the fund are likely to remain range-bound in the near term. This is because, most of the market drivers are in place.
ETFs in Focus
Still, investors intending a momentum play, can bet on DIA, Guggenheim Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD and iShares Dow Jones US ETF IYY . Investors can also settle for leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Here, ProShares Ultra Dow30 DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW are a couple of choices.

Investors seeking momentum may have ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM on radar now. The fund recently hit a new 52-week high. Shares of DDM are up approximately 60.8% from their 52-week low of $82.72/share.
But could there be more gains ahead for this ETF? Let's take a look at the fund and the near-term outlook to get a better idea of where it might be headed.
DDM in Focus
DDM focuses on providing 2x exposure to blue chip companies in the U.S. equity market. The fund has key holdings in the Industrials, Information Technology and Financials sectors, with an allocation of 22.4%, 16.9% and 16.8%, respectively.

Why the move?
Of late, President Donald Trump's tax reform has been in the spotlight. Optimism related to the success of the Republican tax reform bill has led to a rally in the markets. The legislation was finalized in a conference report last week and is poised to become law this week and hand Trump his first legislative victory.
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, DDM has a weighted alpha of 63.5 . So, there is a promising outlook ahead for those, who want to ride this surging ETF a shade further.

Dow Rallies: More Upside for ETFs?

The Dow Jones Industrial Average logged its largest gain on Nov 28 since early September, courtesy of rising optimism on tax reform (or cuts). The index gained 1.1% on Tuesday.
The gauge now sits at above 23,830. This year has been extremely favorable for the index, with it crossing 20,000 in late January. Since then, Dow has been rising by 1000 at regular intervals.
While Trump trade has been driving the index, the latest rally was buoyed by several other factors. Let's delve a little deeper:
17-Year High Consumer Confidence
U.S. consumer confidence jumped to a 17-year high in November, signaling upbeat sentiments surrounding the economy and labor market , per Bloomberg. The rise in consumer confidence will likely result in higher activity, consumption and spending this quarter. This should propel the market further.
Tax Reform: A Likely Reality?
Senate Republicans moved forward on Nov 28 with the tax reform agenda after leaders started convincing likely opponents by a host of "deals to resolve their concerns ." Republicans intend to speed up the timeline on tax reform and the White House intends to turn it into law by the end of the year.
At the end of September, Trump revealed his much talked-about tax plan. Some of the key suggestions are a cut in the corporate tax rate to 20% from 35% and slashing of the number of individual tax brackets to three from seven. The lowest bracket will increase from 10% to 12% , the middle bracket will be 25%, and the highest tax bracket will fall from 39.6% to 35% (read: GOP Nears Tax Reform: Buy These ETFs ).
Blue Chips Should Sizzle Ahead
With the chances of a December rate hike already priced in at the current level, the treasury bond yields are likely to remain range-bound, at least till early 2018. This would help large-cap blue-chip stocks with greater international exposure. These stocks perform better in a muted-dollar environment.
In any case, most analysts are bullish on the S&P for 2018, meaning large-cap stocks of the Dow Jones should sizzle next year too. David Kostin and the equity strategy team at Goldman Sachs expect the S&P 500 to 2,850 by the year-end. Presently, there is around 80% chance of it being cleared by early next year, as per Goldman.
BMO Capital's Brian Belski sees the S&P surging higher to 2,950 by the end of 2018 in his base case scenario. UBS' Keith Parker expects the S&P 500 to end 2018 at 2,900, without tax cut enactment (read: S&P 500 to Hit 2800 in 2018? Play These ETFs ).
Powell Favors Deregulation
The next Fed chair Jerome Powell is an ardent supporter of deregulation in the banking sector. If this step materializes, financial stocks and ETFs like Financial Select Sector SPDR ETFXLF should gain ahead. Notably, the financial sector accounts for about 16.3% of SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETFDIA (read: Powell to Lead Fed: Best ETF Strategies ).
Manufacturing Sector Upbeat
Manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the United States. An uptick in manufacturing numbers can act as a strong tailwind to Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth, in our opinion. After all, Dow Jones-based ETF DIA invests about 22.5% weight - the highest allocation - in the industrial sector. Notably, U.S. manufacturing activity growth was at a nine-month high in October.
ETFs in Focus
So, investors intending a momentum play, can bet on DIA, Guggenheim Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD and iShares Dow Jones US ETF IYY . Investors can also settle for leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Here, ProShares Ultra Dow30 DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW are a couple of choices.

Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog:
Dow ETFs Soar as the Index Hits 23,000
A fair share of the buoyancy in Wall Street this year can be attributed to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The blue-chip index has been continually hitting record highs, with the latest being the 23,000-mark touched on Oct 17. The index actually set out on an astounding rally since Trump's win and crossed a " new 1,000-point threshold for the fourth time this year."
It topped 19,000 for the first time in its 120-year history on Nov 22, 2016. And apart from some occasional dips on Trump's policy-related uncertainty, there was no looking back. This year itself, the index hit more than 20 record highs. As a result, SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA-Free Report ) is up 15.3% this year (as of Oct 17, 2017).
Instrumental Stocks
Stocks that acted as tailwinds in the last six months were the likes of Boeing, UnitedHealth, Johnson & Johnson, Apple and McDonalds.
On Oct 17, 2017, IBM, another major component of DIA, posted a beat on both lines. JNJ too beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for both earnings and sales. UnitedHealth comfortably beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Its membership growth led to the outperformance. UNH and JNJ were up 5.5% and 3.4% on Oct 17 while IBM added more than 5% after hours.
Trump's Tax Reform Proposal
At the end of September, Trump revealed his much talked-about tax plan, suggesting comprehensive tax cuts for individuals and corporations. Some of the key suggestions are a cut in the corporate tax rate to 20% from 35% and slashing of the number of individual tax brackets to three from seven.
Goldman sees 2018 earnings for the S&P 500 companies to get a boost of 12% while Bank of America Merrill Lynch believes that the new rate would benefit earnings by about 11% in 2018. Quite expectedly, Dow Jones exhibited a nice stretch on hopes of tax reform (read: ETFs to Benefit from Trump Tax Plan ).
Upswing in the Manufacturing Sector
Domestic factory activity jumped to a more than 13-year high in September thanks to higher new orders. An uptick in manufacturing numbers can act as a strong tailwind to Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth, in our opinion. After all, Dow Jones-based ETF DIA invests about 20% weight, the highest allocation, in the industrial sector (read: 3 ETFs to Play Upbeat Global Manufacturing ).
Good News from Oil Patch
Furthermore, it has been noticed lately that Dow Jones shares a deep relationship with oil price movement . Though energy sector rally spreads optimism over the broader market as a whole, in most cases, on a particular day of oil surge, the spurt in the Dow Jones is steeper than that of the S&P 500, or vice versa.
In such a scenario, the American Petroleum Institute (API) recorded a steep drawdown of 7.130 million barrels in U.S. crude oil inventories, against the S&P Platts' analyst survey that expected stockpiles to fall by 3.9 million barrels for the week ending Oct 13.
ETFs That Were Benefited Other Than DIA
Investors should note that leveraged Dow ETF plays favored investors for obvious reasons. Two choices are ProShares Ultra Dow30(NYSEARCA: DDM -Free Report) and ProShares UltraPro Dow30(NYSEARCA: UDOW -Free Report) . All these Dow Jones-related funds outperformed the S&P 500-based fund (SPY) in the last six months (read: 10-Minute Guide to 10 Most Popular Leveraged ETFs ).

The sun is shining again on Wall Street after a stormy week. The S&P 500 made a new record and the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned to 22000 for the first time in about a month. The two troubling factors - North Korea's missile launch and hurricanes - finally lost fervor (read: High-Momentum and Beta ETFs to Play on Fading Fears? ).
Irma Not As Harsh As Expected
Hurricane Irma lashed out on Florida weaker than anticipated and fears of huge devastation ebbed a little. Miami did not directly face the storm, which lost some strength and changed its expected route, as per Wall Street Journal . In fact, several insurance companies' shares started to move up this week, probably expecting less severe losses (read: Irma Aftermath Puts These ETF Areas in Focus ).
Activity Gains on Long Term
Investors should also note that New York Fed President William Dudley told CNBC that Hurricanes Harvey and Irma are likely to boost economic activity in the long term as purchases and the need for remodeling will be higher. All these activity gains are likely to boost Dow Jones stocks.
Oil to Rally Ahead?
As we all know, Harvey thumped U.S. refineries causing their utilization rates to fall to 79.7% of total capacity, the lowest since 2010 . Though lower demand from refineries hurt crude prices, gradually refineries will return to operation and then crude prices will likely see an upturn.
In addition, the word is that Saudi will reduce allocations by 0.35 mbpd in October. Iraq has also pointed at "better compliance" on output cut. If all goes well, oil prices may be up for gains in the coming days.
It has been noticed lately that Dow Jones shares a deep relationship with oil price movement . Though the energy sector rally spreads optimism over the broader market as a whole, in most cases, on a particular day of oil surge, the rise in the Dow Jones is steeper than that of the S&P 500, or vice versa.
Upswing in the Manufacturing Sector
Manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the United States. An uptick in manufacturing numbers can act as a strong tailwind to Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth, in our opinion. After all, Dow Jones-based ETF SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF TrustDIA invests about 20% weight - the highest allocation - in the industrial sector. And U.S. manufacturing activity came in at the strongest in six years in August (read: U.S. Manufacturing Hits Six-Year High: ETFs to Benefit ).
How Long Will the Dow Rally Last?
The latest sell-off in the market made U.S. stocks reasonably valued. Plus, the above-mentioned factors should help the index to remain active. However, if there are no positive developments related to Trump's pro-growth policies in the coming days or in the oil patch, the rally is likely to stall.
The relative strength index (RSI) of DIA is 62.61 now. The figure slid from 76.33 seen in early August, indicating sell-offs in the meantime. Investors should note that the current RSI shows that the fund is yet to enter the overbought territory and can thus gain ahead. Even if the gains are not huge, the index and the fund are likely to remain range-bound in the near term.
ETFs in Focus
Investors intending a momentum play can bet on DIA, Guggenheim Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD and iShares Dow Jones US ETF IYY . Investors can also settle for leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Here, ProShares Ultra Dow30 DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW are a couple of choices.

Here are highlights from Thursday's Analyst Blog:
Dow at Record Highs: More Upside for ETFs?
Trump Trade may subside on political uncertainty and overvaluation concerns may be rife in the U.S. stock market, but these did not perturb the Dow Jones Industrial Average index. The index crossed the 22,000 mark on August 2, gaining 2.5% in the last one month.
The gauge moved past 20,000 in late January, topped the 21,000-mark about a month later. And now the breaching of the 22,000-hurdle has marked the third round-number landmark for the Dow this year, as per Bloomberg .
The index is now on its way toward an eighth successive quarter of advancement, marking the longest winning streak since 1997. While Trump trade was the wind under the Dow wings in the beginning of the year, the latest rally has come on the back of strong earnings. Let's delve a little deeper:
Upbeat Earnings
Dow components like Boeing, Visa, McDonald's, Apple, UnitedHealth and Microsoft drove the index on their stellar earnings. The performance has been quite impressive for Aerospace and Defense companies, with the major players beating market estimates. Though industrial earnings were not that sound, gains in other holdings benefited the index (read: Tech ETFs to Buy as Microsoft Beats Big on Earnings ).
Focus on Blue-Chip Stocks
Bloomberg noted that "the index's old-fashioned methodology that apportions greater weight to higher-priced stocks" is behind the recent surge. UnitedHealth Group Inc., Caterpillar Inc., and Chevron Corp. are among the top five holdings, contributing about 135 points.
Overall, blue chip stocks are performing exceptionally of late as revenue growth is surpassing analyst expectations at almost the decade-best rate. Also, large-cap stocks perform better in a weaker dollar environment - like what we are witnessing now - since the former has substantial foreign exposure.
Now, since Dow Jones is a price-weighted index, bullishness over this high-priced large-cap cohort has made the case for Dow investing more appealing (read: Why You Should Bet on Blue Chip ETFs Now ).
Upswing in the Manufacturing Sector
Manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the U.S. An uptick in manufacturing numbers can act as a strong tailwind to Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth, in our opinion. After all, Dow Jones-based ETF SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust ( NYSEARCA:DIA - Free Report ) invests about 20% weight - the highest allocation - in the industrial sector.
Notably, the IHS Markit US Manufacturing PMI increased to 53.3 in July 2017 from a preliminary of 53.2 and 52 in June. This marked the highest reading in four months as growth in output and new orders improved and inflation remained subdued.
Oil's July Rally
Furthermore, it has been noticed lately that Dow Jones shares a deep relationship with oil price movement . Though the energy sector rally spreads optimism over the broader market as a whole, in most cases, on a particular day of oil surge, the spurt in the Dow Jones is steeper than that of the S&P 500, or vice versa.
Oil prices made a comeback in late July. The U.S. benchmark crossed the $50-a-barrel mark. The commodity saw the highest monthly gain in July. So, the Dow Jones index did have a reason to cheer last month (read: Top ETF Stories of July 2017 ).
How Long Will the Dow Rally Last?
If there are no positive developments related to Trump's pro-growth policies in the coming days or in the oil patch, the rally is likely to stall. In any case, the U.S. market is guilty of overvaluation. As per an article published on MarketWatch , " pundits [are] talking about the lack of 5% falls in the market-an occurrence that isn't unusual in a normal market environment."
The Dow hasn't seen a 5% slide since 2011, and prior to that a 5% decline was witnessed in 2008. So, chances of pullback in an already inflated market are always there. As per billionaire investor Howard Marks , "the Shiller Cyclically Adjusted PE Ratio, known as the Shiller CAPE, is at its highest level since only two other times in the market's history: 1929 and 2000."
The relative strength index of DIA is 76.33 now, indicating the fund is about to enter the overbought territory and can see a sell-off ahead. Even if the sell-off is not acute, the index and the fund are likely to remain range-bound in the near term.
ETFs in Focus
Still, investors intending a momentum play, can bet on DIA, Guggenheim Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA: DJD - Free Report) and iShares Dow Jones US ETF (NYSEARCA: IYY - Free Report) . Investors can also settle for leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Here, ProShares Ultra Dow30 (NYSEARCA: DDM - Free Report) and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 (NYSEARCA: UDOW - Free Report) are a couple of choices.

Dow at Record High: More Upside for ETFs?

Trump Trade may subside on political uncertainty and overvaluation concerns may be rife in the U.S. stock market, but these did not perturb the Dow Jones Industrial Average index. The index crossed the 22,000 mark on August 2, gaining 2.5% in the last one month.
The gauge moved past 20,000 in late January, topped the 21,000-mark about a month later. And now the breaching of the 22,000-hurdle has marked the third round-number landmark for the Dow this year, as per Bloomberg .
The index is now on its way toward an eighth successive quarter of advancement, marking the longest winning streak since 1997. While Trump trade was the wind under the Dow wings in the beginning of the year, the latest rally has come on the back of strong earnings. Let's delve a little deeper:
Upbeat Earnings
Dow components like Boeing, Visa, McDonald's, Apple, UnitedHealth and Microsoft drove the index on their stellar earnings. The performance has been quite impressive for Aerospace and Defense companies, with the major players beating market estimates. Though industrial earnings were not that sound, gains in other holdings benefited the index (read: Tech ETFs to Buy as Microsoft Beats Big on Earnings ).
Focus on Blue-Chip Stocks
Bloomberg noted that "the index's old-fashioned methodology that apportions greater weight to higher-priced stocks" is behind the recent surge. UnitedHealth Group Inc., Caterpillar Inc., and Chevron Corp. are among the top five holdings, contributing about 135 points.
Overall, blue chip stocks are performing exceptionally of late as revenue growth is surpassing analyst expectations at almost the decade-best rate. Also, large-cap stocks perform better in a weaker dollar environment - like what we are witnessing now - since the former has substantial foreign exposure.
Now, since Dow Jones is a price-weighted index, bullishness over this high-priced large-cap cohort has made the case for Dow investing more appealing (read: Why You Should Bet on Blue Chip ETFs Now ).
Upswing in the Manufacturing Sector
Manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the U.S. An uptick in manufacturing numbers can act as a strong tailwind to Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth, in our opinion. After all, Dow Jones-based ETF SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF TrustDIA invests about 20% weight - the highest allocation - in the industrial sector.
Notably, the IHS Markit US Manufacturing PMI increased to 53.3 in July 2017 from a preliminary of 53.2 and 52 in June. This marked the highest reading in four months as growth in output and new orders improved and inflation remained subdued.
Oil's July Rally
Furthermore, it has been noticed lately that Dow Jones shares a deep relationship with oil price movement . Though the energy sector rally spreads optimism over the broader market as a whole, in most cases, on a particular day of oil surge, the spurt in the Dow Jones is steeper than that of the S&P 500, or vice versa.
Oil prices made a comeback in late July. The U.S. benchmark crossed the $50-a-barrel mark. The commodity saw the highest monthly gain in July. WTI fund United States OilUSO added about 6.9% while United States Brent Oil BNO advanced about 6.3% in the month. So, the Dow Jones index did have a reason to cheer last month (read: Top ETF Stories of July 2017 ).
How Long Will the Dow Rally Last?
If there are no positive developments related to Trump's pro-growth policies in the coming days or in the oil patch, the rally is likely to stall. In any case, the U.S. market is guilty of overvaluation. As per an article published on MarketWatch , " pundits [are] talking about the lack of 5% falls in the market-an occurrence that isn't unusual in a normal market environment."
The Dow hasn't seen a 5% slide since 2011, and prior to that a 5% decline was witnessed in 2008. So, chances of pullback in an already inflated market are always there. As per billionaire investor Howard Marks , "the Shiller Cyclically Adjusted PE Ratio, known as the Shiller CAPE, is at its highest level since only two other times in the market's history: 1929 and 2000."
The relative strength index of DIA is 76.33 now, indicating the fund is about to enter the overbought territory and can see a sell-off ahead. Even if the sell-off is not acute, the index and the fund are likely to remain range-bound in the near term.
ETFs in Focus
Still, investors intending a momentum play, can bet on DIA, Guggenheim Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF DJD and iShares Dow Jones US ETF IYY . Investors can also settle for leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Here, ProShares Ultra Dow30 DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW are a couple of choices.

Dream days of Dow Jones are back again. The index has been hitting record highs in recent sessions and closed at 21,553.09 on July 13. The blue-chip index set out on an astounding rally since Trump's win. It crossed 19,000 for the first time in its 120-year history on November 22. And apart from some occasional dips on Trump's policy-related uncertainty there was no looking back. This year itself, the index hit 24 record highs.
Behind the Height
Overall, Trump's pledges of higher fiscal spending and tax cuts acted as the main tailwind. Specially, the industrial sector deserves a mention when it comes his plans of increased infrastructure spending. Though uncertainty related to the materialization of those policies sporadically thwarted the Dow rally, some success in implementing the travel ban and the introduction of a revised health-care bill in the Senate actually restored investors' confidence and re-energized the rally.
The most recent driver was a dovish Yellen testimony which hinted at a gradual rate hike. Signals of a few more months of cheap money inflows should prompt the rally. The central bank will probably start reducing its balance sheet later this year, but Yellen indicated that any acute economic crisis calling for a substantial rate cut would put trimming of balance sheet on hold (read: Dovish Yellen Testimony to Boost These ETFs ).
Rise in banking shares ahead of earnings was another cause for the recent rally. The financial sector accounts for about 16.9% of SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETFDIA with Goldman Sachs GS taking the top position with about 7.23% weight. Overall, the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was 2.35% on July 13, up 2 bps from the day earlier. The rise in yields also benefited financial stocks.
Moreover, manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the U.S. An upswing in the manufacturing sector can act as a strong tailwind to the Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth. After all, DIA invests about 20% weight - the highest allocation - in the industrial sector (read: Global Manufacturing in Growth Zone: ETFs to Watch ).
How Long Will the Rally Last?
DIA now has a positive weighted alpha of 17.30 and volatility of 6.74%. Investors should note that a moderate but positive weighted alpha hints at more gains. So, investors are likely to realize moderate gains in the coming days, if the rally continues.
Investors should also note that DIA is yet to enter the overvalued territory with a relative strength index of 63.66. Its short-term moving average is well above the medium-term and long-term averages as depicted by the 50-Day SMA and 200-Day SMA, respectively, in the chart below. This suggests continued bullishness for this ETF.
Other Dow Related ETF Options Than DIA
Investors can also settle on leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Two choices are ProShares Ultra Dow30 DDM and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW . All these Dow Jones related funds outperformed theS&P 500-based fund SPY in the last 10 days (as of July 13, 2017) (read: 10-Minute Guide to 10 Most Popular Leveraged ETFs ).

DOW ETFs: More Rally Ahead or Have You Missed the Boat?

Looks like nothing can come in the way of the Dow Jones industrial average which set itself on a steep upward trajectory since Trump's win. The Dow crossed 19,000 for the first time in its 120-year history on November 22 and still hitting new highs. On December 7, U.S. stocks saw the largest single-day rally since the election as both the Dow and the S&P 500 touched new highs.
At the close on November 7, the Dow was at 19,549.62 with 18 gainful sessions out of 22 and touched 12 record highs since the election.
Behind the Height
Trump's pledges of higher fiscal spending and tax cuts acted as the main tailwind. Specially, the industrial sector deserves a mention on the president-elect's plans of increased infrastructure spending. With republicans taking control of both the House and Senate, Trump is expected to enact all his market-friendly policies seamlessly (read: Trump Triumphs: Stocks & ETFs to Rock or Shock ).
Also, manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the U.S. The ISM manufacturing activity index in the U.S. increased to 53.2 in November from October's 51.9 and beat analysts' expectations of 52.2 . An upswing in the manufacturing sector can act as a strong tailwind to the Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth. After all, SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETFDIA invests about 20% weight - the highest allocation - in the industrial sector (read: Global Manufacturing in Growth Zone: ETFs to Watch ).
Another bullish argument - that a transition from an interest-rate driven market into an earnings-driven one is ongoing - was presented by a chief investment strategist at Baird . This can be a winning case for Dow Jones.
How Long Will the Rally Last?
As per an article published on Investopedia , "the consensus earnings estimates of Wall Street analysts started predicting Dow 20,000 within the upcoming year." Most of the analysts are of the view that the Dow will be sturdy enough in 2017 too. Upbeat U.S. GDP, nine-year low unemployment rate and improving corporate profitability will likely keep the Dow charged up even in the New Year.
Then again, some are of the views that "A lot of people have been saying 'this is the end' and have ended up with very little money in their hands." If such is the case, then a pull-back may be seen in the coming days with people getting into profit booking activities.
DIA now has a positive weighted alpha of 16 and volatility of 6.73%. Investors should note that a moderate but positive weighted alpha hints at more gains, though for not too long. However, the fund is less likely to see high volatility.
The index is now fast moving forward to the 20,000 mark. As per barchart.com , on its way up, the first resistance point will likely come at $196.64, marking a 0.6% premium to the current level. The second resistance point is at $197.80, about 1.2% premium to the current market price of DIA.
So, investors are likely to realize slight gains in the coming days, if the rally continues. Investors should also note that DIA entered into the overvalued territory with a relative strength index of 84.10. This also indicates a trend reversal.
Are There Better ETF Picks than DIA?
It is better to bet on transportation stocks instead. The Dow Jones Transport Average also hit a new high on December 7, breezing past its previous highs seen in late 2014. iShares Transportation Average ETFIYT added 2.5% on the day, has a positive weighted alpha of 32.20 and volatility of 10.63%.
Guggenheim Dow Jones Industrial Average Dividend ETF (DJD added 2.3% on December 7. The fund has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). It has a positive weighted alpha of 16.80 and volatility of 11.35%.
Investors can also settle on leveraged Dow ETF plays as long as the trend favors them. Two choices are ProShares Ultra Dow30 DDM with a positive weighted alpha of 35.58 and volatility of 11.99% and ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW with a positive weightedalpha 56.62 and volatility of 18.73% (read: 10-Minute Guide to 10 Most Popular Leveraged ETFs ).

Can Dow ETFs Stay on the Record Breaking Path?

The Dow Jones industrial average appears to be on cloud nine, having crossed 19,000 for the first time in its 120-year history on November 22. Not only Dow, the other two key U.S. equity gauges - the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite - also hit record highs.
The tailwind was the Trump-induced rally triggered off by the pledges of higher fiscal spending and tax cuts. Specially, the industrial sector deserves a special mention on the president-elect's plans of increased infrastructure spending. With republicans taking control of both the House and Senate, Trump is expected to enact all his market-friendly policies seamlessly (read: Trump Triumphs: Stocks & ETFs to Rock or Shock ).
Can Dow Hit 20,000 in the Near Term?
The answer can be give by both oil and Trump.
Investors should note that though several market watchers believe that there is little-to-no correlation between oil and stocks , this belief has been changing lately as the broad-based market movement has been oil-driven to a large extent (read: If the Oil Crash Continues, Buy These 5 ETFs to Outperform ).
This was especially true for Dow Jones Industrial Average. Recently, on a particular day of oil rout, the decline in Dow Jones was steeper than that of the S&P 500. Since August 2015 , crude oil and the Dow Jones Industrial Average index moved almost in line. So, if the OPEC cuts an output curb deal this month, Dow may gain.
Also, manufacturing numbers point to a recovery in the U.S. Upswing in the manufacturing sector can act as a strong tailwind to Dow Jones Industrial Average's forward growth. After all, SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETFDIA invests about 19.83% weight - the highest allocation - in the industrial sector (read: Global Manufacturing in Growth Zone: ETFs to Watch ).
Another bullish argument - that a transition is ongoing from an interest-rate driven market into an earnings-driven one - was presented by a chief investment strategist at Baird . This can be a winning case for Dow Jones. As per an article published on Investopedia , "the consensus earnings estimates of Wall Street analysts started predicting Dow 20,000 within the upcoming year."
Some analysts are highly optimistic about Dow stocks and their projection is a 5.3% increase to 20,024 in 18 months .
Is There Something to Worry About DOW?
Despite the bullishness surrounding Dow Jones, there are concerns as well. Investors should note that the index spent around two years to cover another 1,000 points as it reached the 18,000 mark in December 2014. Wall Street Journal notified that "this was the seventh-longest stretch of time between such round-number marks." Moreover, it went on to explain that "the latest 1,000-point climb was the result of average gains of about 0.01% each trading day."
What's more concerning is that the height reached by Dow in recent times was unsusstainable. The 16000, 17000 and 18000 Dow records were all snapped in less than 160 trading sessions after the earlier 1,000-point level was first reached.
Last but not the least, hasn't the market already priced in a Trump win? After all, key U.S. indexes logged a pretty decent ascent following the election.
Now, it all depends on how Trump delivers on his promises and oil prices shape up. Till then, investors believing in the Dow rally can invest in these ETFs mentioned below.

Trump Drives Dow to Record High: ETFs in Focus

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a new all-time high on Thursday on hopes of expansive government spending, lesser financial regulation, and increased prospects of tax cuts that would boost economic growth under a Trump presidency.
Notably, the blue chip index is up 5.1% so far this week, marking the biggest four-day percentage gain since August 2015 and is now within the striking distance of 19,000. This has outplayed the majority of Wall Street analysts who had expected a big sell-off in U.S. stocks following Trump's election.
The gains were not broad based with three sectors - financials, industrials and health-care - actually leading the way higher. In particular, the financial sector climbed 7.9% post Trump victory, representing the biggest two-day gain since 2011 as the Republican candidate seeks to dismantle the Dodd-Frank Act largely opposed by banks (read: Sector ETFs Hitting 52-Week High on Trump's Victory ).
Trump Economic Course of Action
Trump in his victory speech said that he seeks to double the pace of economic growth from the current 2%, create 25 million jobs over 10 years, and make the U.S. economy the strongest in the world. Apart from boosting U.S. military spending, he promised to revive U.S. manufacturing and rehabilitate the country's aging infrastructure by pouring billions of government dollars into highway, bridges, hospital and other construction projects. The investment in infrastructure could create millions of relatively high-paying jobs.
Further, during his campaign, Trump vowed to cut U.S. corporate tax rates to 15% from 35%, which will likely increase the attractiveness of the U.S. as a business destination. This in turn would create substantial economic growth even though its anti-trade policies could shave off 0.5% in GDP growth in the months ahead. The Republican candidate also vowed to cut taxes for all Americans reducing the top tax bracket from 39.6% to 33%. This move could bolster consumer spending, fueling growth in the economy.
While most analysts feared that Trump's spending stimulus and tax cuts could increase the federal debt over the long term, the elected president expects the steep tax cuts to be offset by significantly stronger economic growth (read: ETFs & Stocks That Topped or Flopped After Trump Won ).
Given the expectation of the right dosage of taxes and growth, the Trump presidency can lead to soaring stock markets with the Dow continuing to climb in the months ahead. Investors seeking to participate in the Trump-driven rally could find the following ETFs exiting choices.
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA
The ETF tracks the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It holds 31 stocks in its basket with each security holding less than 7.1% share. The fund is widely spread across sectors with industrials, information technology and financials being the top three. DIA is one of the largest and most popular ETFs in the large-cap space with AUM of over $11.7 billion and average daily volume of 3.3 million shares. It charges 17 bps in fees per year from investors and hit an all-time high of $188.82 in yesterday's trading session. The fund has a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 or 'Buy' rating with a Medium risk outlook.
ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM
This ETF is a leveraged play that provides twice (2x or 200%) the return of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It has AUM of $235.6 million and trades in good volume of more than 189,000 shares on average. The product charges 95 bps in annual fees and reached an all-time high of $75.90, representing a gain of 5.3% post Trump's victory (read: Trump Triumphs: Stocks & ETFs to Rock or Shock ).
ProShares UltraPro Dow30 UDOW
This product also tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average but offers three times (3x or 300%) exposure to the index. It has amassed $101.8 million in its asset base and trades in a solid average daily volume of over 317,000 shares. Expense ratio came in at 0.95%. The ETF rose 7.7% over the past two sessions, hitting a record high of $81.92.
Investors should note that though DDM and UDOW could lead to huge gains in a very short time frame when compared to traditional funds, these run the risk of huge losses in a fluctuating or erratic market.

IBM Has More Than Doubled Dividend in 6 Years

International Business Machines Corporation ( IBM ) has raised its quarterly dividend to $-.4… per share or $5.6… on an annual basis from its previous $-.'… per share or $5.-… per year. The company has a great history of returning value to its shareholders, and we can state that because the firm has increased its dividend every year over the last -- years.
Last year the dividend payout was supported by $-'.4- diluted EPS. Earnings were growing at a compound annual growth rate of 9%, while dividends grew at a rate of -8%. However, this situation of dividends growing faster than earnings can continue in the future as the current payout ratio is ….'9. During the past -' years, the highest dividend payout ratio was ….6-, the lowest was ….…9 and the median was ….-9.
Moreover, IBM has good free cash flow to finance the dividend payments. The stock is trading at -- times trailing earnings, which is below its own five-year average and the industry median of -'.6x. Let´s try to find the intrinsic value of the stock.
Intrinsic value
The Yahoo! Finance consensus price target is $-44.…5, representing a downside move from today's level. To estimate the fair value, I will use the Dividend Discount Model ( DDM ). In stock valuation models, DDM defines cash flow as the dividends to be received by the shareholders. The model requires forecasting dividends for many periods, so we can use some growth models like Gordon (constant) growth model, the two or three-stage growth model or the H-Model, which is a special case of a two-stage model.
Once we have selected the appropriate model, we can forecast dividends up to the end of the investment horizon where we no longer have confidence in the forecasts, and then forecast a terminal value based on some other method, such as a multiple of book value or earnings.
Let´s estimate the inputs for modeling.
First, we need to calculate the different discount rates, i.e. the cost of equity (from CAPM). The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) estimates the required return on equity using the following formula: required return on stock j = risk-free rate + beta of j x equity risk premium.
Risk-free rate: Rate of return on LT Government Debt: RF = '.…'% [-] . I think this is a very low rate. Since -9……, yields have ranged from a little less than -% to -5%, with an average rate of 4.9% . I believe it is more appropriate to use this rate.
Gordon Growth Model Equity Risk Premium = (one-year forecasted dividend yield on market index) + (consensus long-term earnings growth rate) - (long-term government bond yield) = -.-'% + --.97% - -.67% = --.4'% [-]
Beta: From Yahoo Finance we obtain a β = ….8…97.
The result given by the CAPM is a cost of equity of: rIBM = RF + βIBM [GGM ERP] = 4.9% + ….8…97 [--.4'%] = -4.-6%.

InvestorPlaceInvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
I had the chance to start my investment journey at a relatively young age, I was 22 when I made my first trade on the stock market. Back then, I didn't have a detailed investment process designed. If there is one thing that I have learned since then is that investing success goes through a solid investment process. If I want to build a strong portfolio, I must have a strong methodology to select the right companies. This is the way to go for any investing strategy, and it is also the case for dividend growth investing.
I've noticed that not all dividend investors think the same. To my surprise, there are some important differences between most of us in the manner in which companies are selected.
For example, I'm definitely not a yield seeker. In fact, if there is one thing I don't consider during my investment selecting process, it is the dividend yield! I focus on the dividend growth as a pillar of my investing strategy. I've established 7 investing principles around dividend growth to manage my portfolio.
I wanted to share these principles with you by giving you 8 examples of companies that meet my investing criteria and should create a solid base for any dividend growth portfolio.
Principle #1: High Dividend Yield Doesn't Equal High Returns
Many investors give greater consideration to the actual company dividend yield or the payment in dollars they receive each month. I often read remarks from retirees telling me it's easier for younger investors to focus on growth and that retirees don't have time on their side and they can't wait to see a dividend payment increase.
My first investment principle goes against many income seeking investors' rule: I try to avoid most companies with a dividend yield over 5%.The reason is simple; when a company pays a high dividend, it's because the market thinks it's a risky investment… or that the company has nothing else but a constant cash flow to offer its investors. However, high yield hardly come with dividend growth and this is what I am seeking most. The fact is that almost all companies paying over 5% yield are not able to increase their payout each year. Their management eventually struggles to make their payment and there is an inevitable cut.
In order to validate this point, I look at the dividend payment and compare it to the stock yield over the past 10 years. An increasing yield without an increasing dividend payment is a strong red flag as it tells you that the stock price is dropping. On the other hand, you want a company with strong dividend payment increases and a steady yield. This leads you directly to the jackpot: both capital and dividend growth!
A great company meeting my first principle is Walt Disney Co ( DIS ). Back in 2010, the company paid a total of 40 cents per share for a very low yield around 1%. Many income seeking investors are ignoring DIS for this reason. In 2016, the company is currently paying a 1.40% dividend yield. Here again, nothing to write home about.
Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump - Which Stocks Win?
However, did you know that DIS pays over three and a half time its 2010 dividend payout? If you would have bought DIS in 2010 at $37, you would be yielding 3.83% on your investment. And I'm not counting the astonishing stock return. This has been possible because the company successfully manages its brand portfolio. ESPN has been the company's most important growth vector over the past few years, but as it is currently cooling down, theme parks and movies divisions are picking up to keep the growth pace.
Principle #2: Focus on Dividend Growth
My second investing principle relates to dividend growth as being the most important metric of all. It doesn't only prove management's trust in the company's future but it is also a good sign of a sound business model. Over time, a dividend payment cannot be increased if the company is unable to increase its earnings. Steady earnings can't be derived from anything else but increasing revenue. Who doesn't want to own a company that shows rising revenues and earnings?
This is why I focus on the company's dividend payment history. In order to maintain dividend growth year after year, a company must show the following fundamentals:
Solid business model
A protected economic moat
Increasing cash flow
Increasing revenues
Increasing earnings
A great company showing the perfect dividend growth profile is Genuine Parts Company ( GPC ). This company is part of the highly selective Dividend King group which includes only companies that has been consecutively increasing their dividend payment for at least 50 years.
Through a great combination of organic growth and growth by acquisitions, GPC was able to extend its business year after year and rewarded their investors at the same time. The automobile parts industry is a repetitive business enabling consistent growth and GPC benefits from a great expertise in acquiring smaller competitors.
Principle #3: Find Sustainable Dividend Growth Stocks
Now that I know I should focus on dividend growth and not dividend yield, I need to find indicators telling me this growth will continue into the future. As investors, we are more concerned about the future than the past. This is why it is important to find companies that will be able to sustain their dividend growth.
This is where I take a look at three main trends:
the dividend payment
the payout ratio
the cash payout ratio
I've selected Procter & Gamble Co ( PG ) to show you the difference between the payout ratio and the cash dividend payout ratio:
This graph shows me how their dividend payments evolve over time compared to the company's ability to pay them. The most important thing is to consider the cash payout ratio instead of the most known payout ratio. Because net earnings can be easily manipulated and cash flows are harder to manipulate, this ratio is useful to analyze cash flow being paid in dividends.
Therefore, you can clearly see that even if PG posted lower earnings in the past couple years (leading to higher payout ratio), the cash dividend payout ratio has been relatively stable around 60% for the past four years.
Principle #4: The Business Model Ensures Future Growth
While looking at payout ratios will give you some hindsight about the future dividend growth of the company, metrics don't tell you everything. Another way to validate if a company will be able to maintain its dividend growth rate is to analyze its business model. I often tend to look at companies that have a strong economic moat or that show hard-to-replicate competitive advantages.
A good example meeting this investment principle is the asset manager BlackRock, Inc. ( BLK ). BLK has the largest market share for assets under management (AUM) and is a leader with its iShares division. With over $1 trillion invested in its ETFs, BLK shows more than double the AUM of the second-place State Street Corp . ( STT ).
BlackRock offers a variety of products from fixed income to equities, therefore, when a mass of investors are leaving equities to move toward fixed income, BlackRock continues to sell them investment products. With new legislation coming from the Department of Labor (DOL), employers will have to offer low-fee investment solutions for retirement to their employees. Large asset firms such as BlackRock will benefit from these new rules.
Principle #5: Buy When You Have Money In Hand - At the Right Valuation
I think the perfect time to buy stocks is when you have money. Sleeping money is always a bad investment. However, it doesn't mean that you should buy everything you see because you have some savings put aside. There is evaluation work to be done. In order to achieve this task, I always start by looking at how the stock market valued the stock over the past 10 years by looking at its PE ratio. This gives you a first glimpse of how the company is valued by the stock market. Let's take Wells Fargo & Co ( WFC ) as example:
It currently tells me that the company hasn't been valued at 12 PE since 2013. It could be a good indication that the stock price is attractive right now. However, it just gives me some hindsight, not a clear direction.
Then, I use the double stage discount dividend model (DDM) to determine the company's fair value along with calculating a margin of safety in case my assumptions are wrong. I use 2 different dividend growth rates; the purpose is to be able to use a dividend growth rate for the first 10 years (which is directly linked to the company's current situation) and another one afterward (which should be more conservative). I establish my discount rate between 9% and 12% depending on the stability and risk involved with my investment. For WFC, I've used the following numbers:
Input Descriptions for 15-Cell Matrix INPUTS Enter Recent Annual Dividend Payment: $1.52 Enter Expected Dividend Growth Rate Years 1-10: 10.00% Enter Expected Terminal Dividend Growth Rate: 6.00% Enter Discount Rate: 9.00%
This gives me the following calculation:
Calculated Intrinsic Value OUTPUT 15-Cell Matrix Discount Rate (Horizontal) Margin of Safety 8.00% 9.00% 10.00% 20% Premium $136.35 $89.80 $66.58 10% Premium $124.98 $82.31 $61.03 Intrinsic Value $113.62 $74.83 $55.48 10% Discount $102.26 $67.35 $49.93 20% Discount $90.90 $59.86 $44.38
Source: DividendMonk Toolkit Excel Calculation Spreadsheet
By combining both methods, I can arrive at a consensus and determine if the company I'm looking to trade is at an interesting value. In this case, Wells Fargo seems definitely undervalued. I could even use a discount rate of 10% and the company would still look like a deal.
Principle #6: The Rationale Used To Buy Is Also Used To Sell
Another important struggle most investors live is to answer this eternal question: when to buy and when to sell . To answer this question, I'm following a very simple but highly effective rule:
I buy shares of a company when my investment thesis is strong and I sell them, when my investment thesis doesn't fit anymore.
I clearly define the reasons why I'm buying company X instead of buying Company Y or Z. An investment thesis is a combination of several good reasons why a company should post growth in the future. It usually starts with the definition of a strong economic moat (world class brand, patents, distribution network, R&D budget leaving competitors in the dust, high performing management team, new sector opening, product ecosystem or any other competitive advantage you can find).
If my thesis is proven to be right over time, I simply keep the company and benefit from the true power of dividend growth investing: dividend growth rate compounding year after year. The stronger your investment thesis is, the better your chances of keeping your holdings forever and earn compounding dividend payments.
If, by any means, my investment thesis is not valid at one point in time, there are no reasons for me to keep this company in my portfolio. This is why I sell my shares and move on. I simply review my holdings on a quarterly basis and trade accordingly. Selling a company according to the confirmation or not of your thesis shows the advantage of sometimes avoiding important value drops.
An interesting buy I made in 2013 was shares of Hasbro, Inc. ( HAS ). This company didn't show up on many dividend growth portfolio lists, but it sure has shown strong growth potential over the past couple of years. Here's my investment thesis:
Hasbro is a worldwide leader in children's and family entertainment. It is mostly known for their numerous toy brands such as Playskool, Tonka, Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers. They are the 2nd largest toy company behind Mattel and have several trademarked franchises such as Transformers, Star Wars and Marvel action Heroes. What differentiates HAS is its great ability to produce licensed products. Their recent partnerships with Disney movies is pushing the company to new highs.
Principle #7: Think Core, Think Growth
My investing strategy is divided into two segments: the core portfolio built with strong & stable stocks meeting all our requirements. The second part is called the "dividend growth stock addition" where I may ignore one of the metrics mentioned in principles #1 to #5 for a greater upside potential (e.g. riskier pick as well).
Having both segments helps me to categorize my investments into a "conservative" or "core" section or into a "growth" section. I then know exactly what to expect from it; a steady dividend payment or higher fluctuations with great growth potential.
A good example of a conservative holding would be 3M Co ( MMM ). 3M is a dividend behemoth showing 50% of their revenues in repetitive purchases. Their impressive R&D budget puts the company on the frontline of innovation. However, due to its important size and the fact that the company is already leading in many markets, growth perspectives can't be astonishing. I like seeing MMM more like a bond increase its interest payment each year in my portfolio. It meets 2 dividend investing objectives: an increasing payout plus stability in any portfolio.
The Top 10 S&P 500 Dividend Stocks to Buy Right Now
A good example of a growth holding would be Chevron Corporation ( CVX ) at the moment. This company was added to my DSR Buy List in August 2015 as the company struggled (and still is struggling) with very low oil prices . While the company shows a strong dividend history, the fact the stock plummeted opens the door for additional growth perspectives. Since August 2015, the stock has caught up and shows a price return of +10% and pays a dividend of nearly 5% based on the cost of purchase. Obviously picking CVX in August was a riskier move, this is why it is part of the growth holding and not the core one.
Do the 7 Investment Principles Work in Real Life?
I know it was a long article, but if you have made it so far, it's probably because you somewhat wonder if my investment principles work in the real life. As I'm fairly transparent, I have shared my portfolios returns here . You will see how they perform very well since their inception.
These investment principles have been based on academic studies ( you can check them out here ). But to be honest, I don't think I am the owner of some kind of magic recipe. I just follow sound investing principles based on years of financial research.
Do you own any of these companies?

Then, I use the double stage discount dividend model (DDM) to determine the company's fair value along with calculating a margin of safety in case my assumptions are wrong. My first investment principle goes against many income seeking investors' rule: I try to avoid most companies with a dividend yield over 5%.The reason is simple; when a company pays a high dividend, it's because the market thinks it's a risky investment… or that the company has nothing else but a constant cash flow to offer its investors. In order to maintain dividend growth year after year, a company must show the following fundamentals: Solid business model A protected economic moat Increasing cash flow Increasing revenues Increasing earnings A great company showing the perfect dividend growth profile is Genuine Parts Company ( GPC ).

Over the past decade, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have gained tremendous popularity due to the advantages and flexibility they offer investors including cost effectiveness and transparency.
Investors have embraced these factors as total ETF industry assets currently stand at $2.17 billion. Year-to-date, assets have risen 2.0% and the number of ETFs has increased 1.1% with 43 new funds launched. (as published by XTF ETF Experts ).
More than 1,800 ETFs and ETNs are currently trading on the market, leaving investors paralyzed by choice more than anything these days.
One area that probably isn't suitable for long-term investors, but has been a big part of the ETF industry's growth, is the leveraged and inverse ETF market. Here, funds can certainly be great money-making avenues for day traders, but they are inherently volatile and often misunderstood. It is best to take a look at this space in a bit more detail before jumping in as part of your investing portfolio.
Leveraged ETFs in Focus
Traditionally, leveraged funds provide 2x or 3x the return of the benchmark performance. For example, a fund that provides 2x the exposure will rise by 2% if the benchmark rises by 1%; however, the flip side also holds true. If the index falls by 1%, the ETF will lose 2%.
On the other hand an inverse leveraged ETF bets against the positive movement of the underlying index, usually over a single day. Most of these products rebalance at the end of every session, and are built to give investors the corresponding amount of leverage over a single trading period.
So, in order for the investors to profit from these highly complex instruments, it is prudent for them to understand three things:
1. What actually is the product betting on?
2. How does it plan to achieve returns 2x and 3x the index?
3. How often does it trade on a daily basis in order to ensure tight bid ask spreads?
This last factor is very important for investors seeking to achieve the best price for their trade. For this reason, and given how volatile the leveraged market can be, obtaining a good price can be vital for overall returns.
In light of the above statement, we have highlighted 10 of the most popular (i.e. with maximum average daily volume) leveraged ETFs that are available to investors.
Large-Cap ETFs
ProShares Ultra S&P 500ETF SSO tracks the S&P 500 Index, and seeks investment results that correspond to 2x the daily returns of the index. It charges an expense ratio of 89 basis points, and uses swap contracts to achieve the leverage it strives for. SSO has an asset base of $1.6 billion coupled with an average daily volume of 5.0 million shares.
Like SSO, ProShares UltraPro S&P 500 ETF UPRO tracks the S&P 500, but seeks to provide 3x the returns of the index. The ETF also charges an expense ratio of 95 basis points, and uses swap contracts as well. UPRO has attracted $811.00 million in its asset base with an average daily volume of 3.6 million shares.
It is important to note that both of these ETFs are rebalanced at the end of day, therefore returns may not be equal to their stated objective of 2x or 3x the index returns over long-term periods.
The ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF DDM is the appropriate choice for investors seeking a leveraged play on the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index. The ETF has been able to amass $243.28 million in its asset base since its inception back in June of 2006. DDM is rebalanced on a daily basis and provides exposure of 2x the daily returns of the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index. It uses a variety of Index swaps to achieve its stated leverage.
Launched in June of 2006, the ProShares Ultra QQQ ETFQLD seeks to provide 2x the daily returns of the Nasdaq100 Index. The ETF has a fairly large asset base of $933.71 million and charges 0.95% as expense ratio. The ETF enters into swap contracts with different financial institutions to provide the leveraged exposure. QLD also has a very high average daily volume of around 2.0 million shares (see The Apple Effect and Nasdaq ETFs ).
Small-Cap ETFs
The Direxion Daily Small Cap Bull 3X Shares ( TNA ) and ProShares Ultra Russell2000 ( UWM ) are two ETFs which provide investors with a leveraged play on the Russell 2000 index.
TNA provides 3x leveraged exposure whereas UWM provides twice the daily returns of the Russell 2000 index. TNA also exhibits popularity as indicated by its asset base of $843.48 million, and has an average daily volume of 5.8 million shares (see Three Small Cap ETFs with Impressive Yields ).
On the other hand, UWM also enjoys a lower average daily volume of 249,845 shares and has been able to amass around $157.52 million since its inception in January of 2007.
Both of these ETFs utilize index swaps to provide the stated leverage. TNA charges an expense ratio of 98 basis points; however, UWM is slightly more expensive than TNA charging 0.96%.
Sector-Focused
The Direxion Daily Financial Bull 3X Shares ( FAS ) is an ETF that provides a leveraged play on the financial sector. It seeks investment returns that correspond to 3x the daily returns of the Russell 1000 Financial Services Index.
The index includes stocks of financial services companies from the entire spectrum of market capitalization. With an asset base of $1.18 billion, FAS is one of the most popular leveraged financial equity ETFs. It charges investors 0.97% as expenses, and on an average does about 4.9 million shares daily.
The Direxion Daily Energy Bull 3X Shares ( ERX ) provides a leveraged exposure on the energy sector. It strives for 3x the daily returns of the Energy Select Sector Index, which measures the performance of companies from the oil and gas, consumable fuels, oil and gas equipments and services etc.
ERX aims for the leverage by entering into index swap contracts with different financial institutions. It charges an expense ratio of 1.00% and does an avergae 3.3 million shares daily in volume. It has an asset base of $521.15 million (read Uncertain about the Economy? Try Market Neutral ETFs ).
Commodity
The ProShares Ultra Silver ETF ( AGQ ) seeks 2x the daily returns of silver bullions which are U.S Dollar denominated for London delivery. This means that along with the volatility in the individual commodity price, the ETF will also be subject to currency exchange rate between the U.S Dollars and the Pound Sterling.
Obviously being a leveraged ETF the fund takes long positions derivative instrument like silver futures and enters into silver forward contracts with different financial institutions to gain leverage on the underlying asset class (i.e. silver bullion).The ETF is also rebalanced daily and has an expense ratio of 1.67%. AGQ has a an asset base of $257.31 million and an average daily volume of about 200,600 shares.
Bonds
ProShares Ultra 7-10 Year Treasury ( UST ) is a daily rebalanced leveraged long ETF which is designed to generate 2x the daily returns of the Barclays Capital U.S. 7-10 Year Treasury Index. The index measures the performance of intermediate term Treasury bonds which have a residual maturity ranging from 7 to 10 years. UST has $51.74 million in its asset base, and sees an average daily volume of 63,019 shares. It charges an expense ratio of 95 basis points.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL - March 21, 2016 - Zacks Equity Research highlights OraSure Technologies ( OSUR ) as the Bull of the Day and Anheuser Busch Inbev ( BUD ) as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF ( DIA ), iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF ( IYY ) and ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF ( DDM ).
Here is a synopsis of two stocks and three ETFs:
Bull of the Day :
OraSure Technologies ( OSUR ) beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate about a month and a half ago and since that time we have seen a great post earnings drift higher. The stock is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and today it is the Bull of the Day.
The Numbers
OSUR beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.03 by $0.05 for a 166% positive earnings surprise. Revenues came in a little above expectations at $32 million for a 9% positive revenue surprise.
Post Earnings Drift
Following the beat, the stock jumped 14.6% in the session immediately the release. That out sized move might make investors believe that the shipped has sailed.
The truth is, the rally in this stock was just getting started. Since the big 14% move higher, the stock has continued to gain ground, tacking on another 15%.
This is the definition of a post earnings drift higher.
Description
OraSure Technologies makes oral fluid diagnostic products and specimen collection devices. The company also offers other diagnostic products, such as immunoassays and other in vitro diagnostic tests that are used on other specimen types. OraSure Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1979 and is based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Earnings History
The recent earnings history for OSUR is rather solid with five of the last six reports topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The recent beat of 166% is is a big beat, but the two preceding reports saw beats of 400% and 200% respectively. The two other beats were 100% and 150% respectively. The idea here is that while the beats are coming off a small base they are significant in size.
The topline has been solid, but not nearly as impressive. Then again, I cannot think of too many companies that positive positive revenue surprises of 50% much less 100%. It is important to recognize that the company has posted positive revenue surprises in 4 of the last six quarters. The other two were meets, so it is all positive news.
Estimates
The FY16 Zacks Consensus Estimate has been moving higher. The number stood at $0.13 in October of last year. The number moved higher to $0.15 in November and on the strength of the most recent beat the estimate kicked higher to $0.16 in February.
The FY2017 Zacks Consensus Estimate has held steady at $0.24 since November. This could be due to a lack of visibility for the analysts. In the coming weeks, investors should not be surprised if we see estimates kick higher again.
Valuation
When you have a stock that consistently beats the number by a big amount, beats on top for the most part and is showing some revenue growth as well you have something that a lot of investors want. With that sort of demand, you are going to see some big multiples, which is the case for OSUR.
The stock trades at 42x forward earnings compared to a 20x industry average. That is a healthy premium and it also shows up in the price to sales multiple of 3.1x for OSUR and 1.5x for the industry average.
Value investors might also want to take a look at this stock as the price to book multiple is under 3x for OSUR at 2.4x. This shows the stock trading at a discount to the industry average of 2.7x for book value.
Bear of the Day :
Anheuser Busch Inbev ( BUD ) isn't the first stock that people think to invest in after St. Patrick's day. Maybe before, but not after. Despite a recent beat of the Zacks Consensus Estimate the stock has slipped to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) and today it is the Bear of the Day.
The Numbers
BUD topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.31 by $0.25 for a 19% positive earnings surprise. Revenues came in a little below expectations at $10.7B for an 6.3% negative revenue surprise.
Description
Anheuser Busch Inbev sells a portfolio of approximately 200 beer and other malt beverage brands.
Earnings History
Usually when a stock is the Bear of the Day, the earnings history is filled with misses. I see three misses in the last seven reports, which isn't exactly terrible, but it isn't great either.
Estimates
Here is the real reason the stock is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) and the Bear of the Day. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has fallen in each of the last two months. The FY16 estimate stood at $5.29 in January but fell to $4.80 in February and is now down to $4.31 in March. That is a dramatic fall in just a few months.
Next year is seeing an even larger move to the downside, with numbers sliding from $5.86 to $5.39 down to $4.90 over the same time period as mentioned above. That is the reason this stock is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

Ride the Dow Bull with These ETFs
After a scary start to the year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average made an impressive comeback over the past one month. The index, which had fallen 11.3% in the first three weeks of 2016, has recouped all its losses and is now up more than 1% since the start of the year.
Inside the Recent Surge
The remarkable rebound was driven by a jump in oil prices and a slew of positive economic indicators, which erased fears of a recession in the U.S. In particular, oil price zoomed more than 50% from its 13-year low hit in mid February on signs of reducing supply glut and hopes of a deal by major oil producers to freeze oil output. This has started rebuilding investors' confidence in the rebalancing of the oil market, giving a huge boost to energy stocks and other commodities (read: 4 Energy ETFs Outperforming on Oil Rebound).
Among the most notable upbeat data was the February jobs report, which showed continued strength in hiring, easily dodging the global slowdown. The economy added 242,000 jobs in February, much above the market expectation of 190,000. Unemployment dropped to an eight-year low of 4.9% and inflation climbed 2.3% in the 12 months through February, marking the biggest increase in more than three years, following the 2.2% increase in January.
While the manufacturing sector has contracted for the fifth month in February, it improved from January with growth seen in half the industries, including wood products, furniture, miscellaneous manufacturing, and primary metals. Further, housing starts rebounded with an increase of 5.2% in February, hitting the highest level since September, buoyed by strong demand. This was preceded by a drop of 3.8% in January and 2.5% in December (read: Manufacturing Data Point to Recovery: ETFs, Stocks to Consider).
Added to the optimism is the dovish stance from the Fed released in the latest meeting held on Thursday. The Fed kept the short-term interest rates steady in the 0.25-0.50% band and dialed back its projection for this year's hikes to two times instead of four. Lower interest rates will pull out capital from the country and lead to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, thereby benefiting exporters. A weakening greenback would also provide some relief to declining corporate earnings, driving the stocks higher.
Given this, we have highlighted some ETFs that could be compelling choices for investors seeking to ride the recent bull run in the Dow.
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF ( DIA )
The ETF tracks the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which includes blue chip companies that are considered leaders in their respective industries. It holds 31 stocks in its basket with each security holding less than 6.5% share. The fund is widely spread across nine sectors with each taking up less than 20% share in the basket (see: all the Large Cap ETFs here).
DIA is one of the largest and most popular ETFs in the large-cap space with AUM of over $12.2 billion and average daily volume of 7.2 million shares. It charges 17 bps in fees per year from investors and has gained about 1% so far this year. The fund has a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 or 'Buy' rating with a Medium risk outlook.
iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF ( IYY )
This fund follows the Dow Jones U.S. Index, holding a broad basket of 1,263 stocks. It is widely spread out across components with none holding more than 2.87% of assets. Information technology is the top sector, accounting for 20.1%, while financials, health care, consumer discretionary and industrials round off the top five spots (read: 4 Outperforming Sector ETFs Over the Past One Month).
The ETF charges 20 bps in annual fees and trades in moderate volume of about 55,000 shares a day. It has amassed $910.6 million in its asset base and is relatively flat in the year-to-date timeframe.

Ride the Dow Bull with These ETFs

After a scary start to the year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average made an impressive comeback over the past one month. The index, which had fallen 11.3% in the first three weeks of 2016, has recouped all its losses and is now up more than 1% since the start of the year.
Inside the Recent Surge
The remarkable rebound was driven by a jump in oil prices and a slew of positive economic indicators, which erased fears of a recession in the U.S. In particular, oil price zoomed more than 50% from its 13-year low hit in mid February on signs of reducing supply glut and hopes of a deal by major oil producers to freeze oil output. This has started rebuilding investors' confidence in the rebalancing of the oil market, giving a huge boost to energy stocks and other commodities (read: 4 Energy ETFs Outperforming on Oil Rebound ).
Among the most notable upbeat data was the February jobs report, which showed continued strength in hiring, easily dodging the global slowdown. The economy added 242,000 jobs in February, much above the market expectation of 190,000. Unemployment dropped to an eight-year low of 4.9% and inflation climbed 2.3% in the 12 months through February, marking the biggest increase in more than three years, following the 2.2% increase in January.
While the manufacturing sector has contracted for the fifth month in February, it improved from January with growth seen in half the industries, including wood products, furniture, miscellaneous manufacturing, and primary metals. Further, housing starts rebounded with an increase of 5.2% in February, hitting the highest level since September, buoyed by strong demand. This was preceded by a drop of 3.8% in January and 2.5% in December (read: Manufacturing Data Point to Recovery: ETFs, Stocks to Consider ).
Added to the optimism is the dovish stance from the Fed released in the latest meeting held on Thursday. The Fed kept the short-term interest rates steady in the 0.25-0.50% band and dialed back its projection for this year's hikes to two times instead of four. Lower interest rates will pull out capital from the country and lead to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, thereby benefiting exporters. A weakening greenback would also provide some relief to declining corporate earnings, driving the stocks higher.
Given this, we have highlighted some ETFs that could be compelling choices for investors seeking to ride the recent bull run in the Dow.
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF ( DIA )
The ETF tracks the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which includes blue chip companies that are considered leaders in their respective industries. It holds 31 stocks in its basket with each security holding less than 6.5% share. The fund is widely spread across nine sectors with each taking up less than 20% share in the basket (see: all the Large Cap ETFs here ).
DIA is one of the largest and most popular ETFs in the large-cap space with AUM of over $12.2 billion and average daily volume of 7.2 million shares. It charges 17 bps in fees per year from investors and has gained about 1% so far this year. The fund has a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 or 'Buy' rating with a Medium risk outlook.
iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF ( IYY )
This fund follows the Dow Jones U.S. Index, holding a broad basket of 1,263 stocks. It is widely spread out across components with none holding more than 2.87% of assets. Information technology is the top sector, accounting for 20.1%, while financials, health care, consumer discretionary and industrials round off the top five spots (read: 4 Outperforming Sector ETFs Over the Past One Month ).
The ETF charges 20 bps in annual fees and trades in moderate volume of about 55,000 shares a day. It has amassed $910.6 million in its asset base and is relatively flat in the year-to-date timeframe.
ProShares Ultra Dow30 ETF ( DDM )
This ETF is a leveraged play that provides twice (2x or 200%) the return of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It has AUM of $226.4 million and trades in solid volume of 534,000 shares on average. The product charges 95 bps in annual fees and expenses and added 1% this year. Investors should note that though this product could lead to huge gains in a very short time frame when compared to traditional funds, it runs the risk of huge losses in a fluctuating or erratic market.

The Worst ETFs for 2016 -- and Beyond

It's smart to consider investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), because these stock-like funds offer instant diversification, convenient trading throughout the day, no minimum purchase amounts, and fees that are typically lower than their mutual-fund cousins. You'll naturally want to avoid the worst ETFs -- but don't get sidetracked looking for the ETFs that performed the worst over the past year or any particular period. Instead, learn how to spot a bad ETF and the worst kinds of ETFs.
Here are some things to watch out for when investing in ETFs:
Fees
Just like mutual funds do, ETFs charge expense ratios -- essentially annual fees. But while stock mutual funds sport average expense ratios near 1.3%, the average ETF expense ratio is far lower, closer to 0.40%. Still, steep fees can be found among ETFs, and they can help you identify some of the worst ETFs for 2016 and beyond.
The WBI Tactical Value ETF (WBIF), for example, recently charged 1.04%. Interestingly, the fund recently held two-thirds of its assets in cash, meaning that its shareholders are paying a lot to not be invested in many stocks.
Size
Many ETFs, especially new and small ones, sport wide "spreads," which can be costly to investors. The spread is the difference between the "bid" and the "ask" -- respectively, the going price at which you can buy and sell a security. When a stock, or an ETF, is very "liquid," the spread will be tiny, reflecting the fact that there are lots of shares available and that they're trading frequently on the market. With less liquid investments, fewer people are interested in them and they trade less frequently. Thus, a seller is more able to hold out for a higher price.
When it's relatively hard to sell your shares of an ETF, it can cost you. The Market Vectors Egypt ETF , for example, recently sported a spread of 1.3%, reflecting the low trading volume of the ETF and the difficulty of buying and selling shares of the underlying securities held by the fund.

Leverage
Some ETFs are structured in ways that aim for extra growth but offer extra risk and danger, too. A prime example are ETFs that are leveraged and labeled "inverse," "ultra," "2X," "3X," or something like that. A rookie mistake is thinking that since an ETF such as the ProShares Ultra Dow 30 ETF is designed to deliver a return that's twice as good (or bad) as the Dow's return, one might invest in it for a long time, aiming to get outsized returns. The truth is that these highly leveraged funds are designed to be held for short periods and can deliver ruinous results over long periods. No wonder my colleague Travis Hoium has deemed these " the riskiest investments on Earth ." Leveraged ETFs (those that employ significant debt) are best avoided by most of us.
Focus
Just because an ETF gives you instant access to some industry or niche of interest doesn't mean it will serve you well, especially in the short term. The United States Oil Fund , for example, got whacked when oil prices dropped -- the ETF lost more than 40% in both 2014 and 2015. Meanwhile, the Market Vectors Brazil Small-Cap ETF shed nearly 50% in 2015 (on top of a 26% loss in 2014). That's no guarantee they'll perform badly in 2016 and beyond, but it does highlight the dangers of taking what had been hot areas of the market in previous years and assuming that those returns will last forever.
ETFs can be a wonderful and inexpensive way to tap the advantages of funds, but choose carefully. If you pay attention to the fees charged by any fund you're looking at, and consider its spread, leverage, and focus, you will be much more likely to avoid stumbling into the ETFs that end up among 2016's poorest performers. You'll make smarter ETF decisions for the rest of your investing life, too.
The $15,978 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook
If you're like most Americans, you're a few years (or more) behind on your retirement savings. But a handful of little-known "Social Security secrets" could help ensure a boost in your retirement income. In fact, one MarketWatch reporter argues that if more Americans knew about this, the government would have to shell out an extra $10 billion annually. For example: one easy, 17-minute trick could pay you as much as $15,978 more... each year! Once you learn how to take advantage of all these loopholes, we think you could retire confidently with the peace of mind we're all after. Simply click here to discover how you can take advantage of these strategies.
