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...

When it comes to tech investing, 2015 looks to be a superb year. There's plenty of room for both the tech sector and the U.S. economy to grow in the months to come.
Which means now, more than ever, is the time to focus on that growth. This is how to find quality growth firms that will consistently beat the market.
In fact, we've got three winners for you right here...
Silver prices typically follow in gold's footsteps. But silver has fared even worse than gold recently.
While gold is down 37% since peaking at $1,900 in 2011, silver has shed 67% since topping at $49 that same year. This makes our 2015 silver price forecast even more critical.
Let's look at all the factors that will drive silver prices in the new year...

Sit down before you read this…
It's going to make your head spin and, worse, change the way you think about what's real in America.
Christmas came early this year, for the market that is, by way of a gift from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
However, this branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce didn't put its gift under anybody's tree. They put it over all of us.
The gift was headline news that the "third revision" of the third-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) number showed the U.S. economy grew at a whopping 5% annualized rate, not the 3.9% rate posted in the "second revision."
That sounds like good news, right?

I've always been a "car guy."
Back in my high-school, college, and twentysomething years, the term was "motorhead."
I liked to soup up cars, did a bit of drag racing, and restored several antiques and classics with my Dad.
So I know cars.
And as I told Private Briefing readers in a column a few weeks back, I also
know Ford.
I've been following the brand, and Ford Motor Company itself, since my teen years. And I really stepped up my focus on the company – as an investment – when I became a journalist in the mid-1980s.
Late last month, I predicted that Ford would be one of the best stocks for 2015.
And a report that I came across yesterday bolstered my belief in my forecast.

With two significant pullbacks in the past three months, the specter of a stock market crash in 2015 is suddenly much more plausible.
In the past week, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has rebounded from a 5% drop this month. Back in October, the S&P 500 plunged 7.5% before recovering. Is the market trying to tell us something?
We've found seven charts that help explain why the markets have repeatedly stumbled this year – and why a bigger stock market crash in 2015 looms on the horizon.
Every investor needs to see these charts...

Here's the most important investing strategy for you to use in 2015 – plus two more that will also reinforce your brokerage account. These habits will help you sleep at night even when the markets are pitching fits.
In fact, you'll be snoozing better than your broker. Which is why, of course, he won't fill you in on these tactics.
