Money Morning's Latest "Best Stocks to Buy" List
Money Morning Defense & Tech Specialist Michael A. Robinson urges investors to tap into wearable tech. The sector will grow 78.4% through 2018 according to IDC. But he's not a fan of Wall Street's sweetheart pick: wearable sports camera maker GoPro (Nasdaq: GPRO). Shares have zoomed nearly 140% since the company went public in June. But Robinson warned Money Morning readers of GPRO's volatility. So far in October alone, shares are down more than 20%, with two single-day drops of 14% and nearly 9%. Robinson instead recommends a play that offers both safety and big profits – plus exposes investors to the entire wearable tech sector…
- Alibaba's (NYSE: BABA) debut in September marked the biggest initial public offering in history. However, only about 4% of the $25 billion worth of stock went to individual investors. That's why Robinson found a way to connect investors to BABA's enormous profit stream. But Robinson did better than that. His pick can be bought at a nearly 50% discount from BABA's current price. It's also got great long-term upside from IPOs – without all the short-term volatility.
