The 2015 Yahoo stock forecast will, at least, reward shareholders with a 25% gain.
That's because Yahoo stock has been moving in tandem with Alibaba stock since the Alibaba IPO.
But there are other factors that could push Yahoo beyond even that optimistic 25% figure.

Ambarella stock (Nasdaq: AMBA) hit a rough patch this year when the stock declined by roughly 30% from early January to early May.
But staying the course proved highly profitable – Ambarella stock went on to gain roughly 53% so far this year. And it's up some 203% since we first recommended it back on Aug. 2, 2013.
That's just a start - if we stick with it, Ambarella will double again from here...

Money Morning's "unloved" pick of the week is oil and gas exploration and production company Apache Corp. (NYSE: APA).
Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald recommended Apache stock last week, calling it a "hated stock" that presents a "terrific opportunity" for investors.
Although APA stock fell almost 50% as a result of plunging oil prices, it remains a solid company.
Here's why Apache stock is really an incredible bargain right now...

Biotech stocks to buy in 2015: Biotech was one of the most profitable sectors this year. Through Dec. 18, the S&P 500 Biotechnology Index is up 43.6% in 2014, and the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index is up 36.9%.
Those gains are three to six times as big as the broader markets'. In 2014 through Dec. 18, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up just 6.1%, the S&P 500 10.3%, and the Nasdaq 12.8%.

In October 2013 we predicted Apple stock (Nasdaq: AAPL) had a 5-to-1 chance of reaching $1,000 per share. Many analysts were skeptical, criticizing the appointment of Tim Cook as CEO. But here we are, a little more than a year later, having gained 48% from the tech giant.
And that's not all. If we play it right, we stand to gain another 27%… at least. We've even put a date on it.
Here's when and how to make your move...

Over the past 20 years, individual investors averaged a measly 2.53% a year, versus the S&P 500, which chalked up 9.02%.
This is because every investor is hardwired to do three things that kill returns. If you understand what these bad investing habits are, recognize them in yourself, and learn how to eliminate them, then you can build wealth much more quickly.

The Bitcoin forecast for 2015 is for major strides toward the promise we've been hearing about for more than a year.
The power of the idea – a decentralized, digital currency that includes ownership data and can move money around the world in an instant – just keeps gaining traction.

This will be a pivotal year for Bitcoin...
