Money Morning's Best Stocks to Buy Now
- Brick-and-mortar retailers like Macy's Inc. (NYSE: M) and Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE: JWN) will hurt this Christmas season. Most of these companies already had dreadful Q3 earnings reports. That's because people are changing the way they shop. These retailers aren't struggling because of the economy. Consumers have simply embraced online shopping far faster than traditional retailers thought. You can make money on this shift. Money Morning Technical Trading Specialist D.R. Barton knows of two stocks that will profit most from the changing consumer shopping experience...
- The Fed's monetary policy experiments may end up devastating the U.S. dollar in the long run. If the Fed follows through with a rate hike in December, stocks will be hit hard, which could cause the Fed to resume quantitative easing again. The Fed will do anything it can to prevent deflation. As a result, the U.S. dollar could become worthless, with people rushing to spend it on anything of value. Money Morning Resource Specialist Peter Krauth developed a protective play to beat that possibility...
- India is the world's next hot market. Its GDP is expected to grow at a rate of 7.3% between 2015 and 2016 - a rate that beats even China's 6.8% growth rate, according to the International Monetary Fund. Its middle class is growing fast, and its economy is the strongest out of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, China), according to Money Morning Associate Editor David Zeiler. Now's the time to get ready to profit from this trend. These are the stocks that will benefit the most from India's growth...

- Wall Street's worries about China's slowing growth are overblown, according to Money Morning Defense & Tech Specialist Michael A. Robinson. Chinese shoppers are busy. So busy, in fact, that China's retail sales rose 11% last month, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics. The majority of these Chinese shoppers are flocking to online retailers like Alibaba Group Holding Inc. (NYSE: BABA). China's strong e-commerce sector growth is a shining signal for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) play. Robinson knows an ETF that contains 40 Chinese e-commerce companies, and these companies are doubling in size about every two years...
- Three of Money Morning's top minds believe you can still profit from a social media stock that's risen by almost 35% year to date. This company is putting tons of money into R&D, with new developments in virtual reality and artificial intelligence. According to an article by Money Morning Executive Editor Bill Patalon, this stock is a "must have" in any portfolio, with a target price over 100% its current price.
