There Are Two Places to Get Great Takeover Targets in 2018

by

Earlier this week, the financial press was over the moon about a Citigroup equity research department report. The completely unironic title: "Addressing the Problem of Too Much Cash."

In the report, analysts Jim Suva and Asiya Merchant discuss the possibility that post-tax-reform Apple Inc. brings home its $220 billion cash stockpile that is currently overseas and uses it for a takeover of other media or technology companies.

The two intrepid research analysts tell us, "the firm has too much cash – nearly $250 billion – growing at $50 billion a year. This is a good problem to have. Historically, Apple has avoided repatriating cash to the U.S. to avoid high taxation. As such, tax reform may allow Apple to put this cash to use. With over 90% of its cash sitting overseas, a one-time 10% repatriation tax would give Apple $220 billion for M&A or buybacks."

Oh, boy! Well, that is kind of the obvious answer, but this sounds like great news for shareholders. Right?

Let's hear some more bottled sunshine from Citi... before I blast a few ugly, jagged holes in its analysis and show you where the deals really are...

It's Not Too Late to Double Your Money on Netflix Stock

by

While the FAANG stocks seemed infallible this year, Wednesday's sell-off in these technology leaders proved otherwise. Video-streaming giant Netflix Inc. is no stranger to volatility, dropping 6% from its intraday high Tuesday through Thursday's close.

Given its history of volatility and all the conflicting company news lately, it is nearly impossible to predict the short-term twists and turns of Netflix stock.

Fortunately, Money Morning's options trading specialist, Tom Gentile, has strategies to profit from Netflix no matter which way the stock moves.

This NFLX Trade Could Double Your Money in Just 60 Days

by

First, in August, came the news that Disney was pulling all of its content from Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) in order to start its own streaming business. This created a frenzy in the mainstream media, with the pundits arguing between themselves about whether or not the streaming goliath could even survive.

Then, in October, the stock fell 1% after the indefinite suspension of one of its star shows, House of Cards, following multiple serious Kevin Spacey allegations.

And now, we know that Ann Mather, who serves on Netflix's board of directors, sold 3,885 shares of the stock for $777,000.00 back on Nov. 7.

All of these developments have got investors and traders nervous about putting any money down – and understandably so.

The good news is… you can actually profit no matter if Netflix stock skyrockets or plummets from here. 

All you need is this NFLX trade setup...

This One Market Health Signal Says "Watch Out"

by

A few weeks ago, I showed everyone how to use the cumulative advance/decline chart to read the breadth of the markets – the number of stocks moving higher or lower.

It's easy: The more stocks participating in the move up, the broader the breadth, and the healthier the broad markets are.

At the time, the breadth was robust, but it's been shrinking just a little over the past two weeks.

Last week, in fact, I got in touch with my paid-up Stealth Profits Trader subscribers to let them know about an early divergence in the cumulative advance/decline line.

It's lessened over the past week or so, but it's still there.

That's significant.

Now, it'd be foolhardy to look at the divergence and panic, but it shouldn't go ignored, either.

Let me show you what I think it means - and what could be coming around the corner...
