Online Stock Trading Ideas
Looking for good ideas for stocks to trade online ? You might be tempted to look at Wall Street analysts and experts. But how do you know if the experts you are consulting have a good track record ? Well, according to the Motley Fool – www.Fool.com – you don’t, which is why they created Motley Fool CAPS, a database with 160,000 members that ranks analysts according to how well their stock picks perform compared to the S&P 500.
They call the best of the best the ‘all stars’ – the top 1/5th and they have kindly listed 3 stocks these top stars like at the moment
America Movil (NYSE: AMX) – Markel (NYSE: MKL) – and Activision Blizzard
They also give us some further information on – Activision Blizzard.
Activision has increased earnings from $52 million to some $230 million over the five years between 2002 and 2007. The company also recently bought Vivendi’s Blizzard, which increases its existing portfolio of popular titles such as Call of Duty and Guitar Hero — the No. 1 and No. 2 console games, — with World of Warcraft’s 11 million + online subscribers.
“Hot new releases in the top-selling Guitar Hero franchise will strike a chord with shoppers this holiday season, while new titles, additional revenue opportunities, merger boons, and Blizzard’s superior margins will set the newly combined company on the path to a fast-swelling bottom line.” David Gardner – Fool co-founder – still thinks Activision’s a great stock, and more than 1,000 CAPS experts agree.
The stock market in general is slowly grinding higher although some people are worried about the lack of volume in up days and the higher volume on down days. The S&P has managed to get itself above the key level of 1150 after a 7% correction and the next key level is 1200 – it seems hard to believe that the markets can keep going higher the way they are but that is the stock market today I guess – high unemployment seems to be of little concern to anyone except those unemployed and foreclosures haven’t gone away. But the stock market seems quite happy with this state of affairs, and maybe they will continue to be happy despite all the economic evidence that for ordinary folk things are not getting any better.
