Three great stocks in a terrible market Graphic_rating_buy WLT
-86.44%
in 157 days

Filed under: Stocks to Buy

The S&P 500 is down 12% this year. But some stocks are doing spectacularly well.

My newsletter, which has been picking three stocks a month for the last five and a half years, has found several of them. This year, it's up 29% so far. That increase is the rise in the average stock mentioned in the newsletter since its initial mention through the end of June. And it uses a 2% stop loss rule which automatically sells any stock that has declined by 2% and charges that decline against the returns.

Here are the three biggest winners:

Coal Companies Face Long-Term Challenges, But Business Great for Now Graphic_rating_buy WLT

5/18 - "Coal’s edge...is that it’s still the low bidder when it comes to costs, despite the recent run-up in prices. Also, everything needed to radiate coal-fired power all over the map already is in place, not only the generating stations but storage, transit and integration with the grid. On both accounts, solar and wind have plenty of work to do." "Utilities know there will be some kind of legislation and a carbon-capture mandate, but there are no requirements yet or price tag associated with carbon," said Ann Kohler, an energy analyst with Caris & Co. "Regulators are looking at natural...

Through April, the stock picks in my investment newsletter, The Cohan Letter, have risen an average of 19%. This is better than the performance of the S&P 500 which has fallen 6% since the beginning of the year.

Each month my newsletter mentions three stocks. I average the percentage changes in the stocks I mention at the end of each month. I also have a stop loss rule in which stocks that decline by 2% are sold from the theoretical portfolio and the -2% return is included in the average for the month.

The top three performing stocks through April are:

WLT is on fire. This company looks great on their financial sheets buy what draws me into the company is an all around great outlook for steady growth. The earnings growth for the past five years is at 51.8 percent with an operating cash flow of 359.2M. Look at the EPS and some other factors and you get all warm and fuzzy! We like what this stock has to offer:)
