Money Morning's Recap of the Best Stocks to Buy Right Now

• More than 3 billion people have limited Internet access - or none at all. As of 2013 estimates, that's 42.1% of the world population. Tesla Motors Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk aims to bring them online with the "Space Internet" - a network of orbiting satellites that will provide Internet access to the most remote places on Earth. If successful, Tesla will have created a profit gold mine. But Tesla won't be able to complete its ambitious project alone. Money Morning Defense & Tech Specialist Michael A. Robinson recommends investing in a tech titan whose moves into satellites and robotics make it like an "ultimate ETF on futuristic technology"...
• According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and McKinsey, global growth rates will drop 40% over the next 50 years. They attribute the drop to rising debt, unequal wealth distribution, and an aging population. But labor productivity in developed economies has been rising. The U.S. increased productivity in the manufacturing sector by 5% in Q4 2014. Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald knows of a manufacturing company ready to ride productivity higher. It posted $8.37 billion in revenue last quarter, surpassing Wall Street's expectations by $160 million. Get this company's name here...

• The auto industry is booming more than ever before. There were 72.23 million cars sold worldwide last year, an 18.8% increase from 2011. In North America, car parts are manufactured from commodities that are cheaper now because they follow the price of oil - which has been sliced in half since June 2014. Thanks to reduced material costs, one automotive supplier is emerging as the dominant player. And its proximity to the U.S. car manufacturing capital, Detroit, has further helped its bottom line. Money Morning Resource Specialist Peter Krauth told investors about this Canadian auto supplier - it's 12% in the past month...
• Last year was an incredible year for the tech sector. E-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) set the record for the largest U.S. IPO in history, raising $21.8 billion. The tech-centric Nasdaq Composite Index grew 15% in 2014. Defense & Tech Specialist Michael A. Robinson recommended nearly two dozen tech stocks in 2014 - and all of them beat the market. Five of those two dozen had incredible gains last year and will continue to generate more profits in 2015. One of the picks is a biotech firm that has soared 25.9% this year. Here are all five of Robinson's top tech picks for 2015...

The Tale of Two Titans: Apple has long teased the idea of making the auto industry the next frontier. The tech giant is known for innovating on its own. But after reeling in a record $178 billion last quarter, it could easily acquire Tesla Motors. Here are five reasons why Apple buying Tesla makes a ton of sense...
