My Christmas Wish To All Fans Of This Blog

Tis the season for giving; Make a difference in someone's life this holiday season






I still remember vividly when as a little boy many years ago, how I used to look forward to this time of year with eager anticipation hoping that my good behaviour and excellent school grades would kindle jolly old Santa to deliver my fondest christmas wish down the chimney. It was fun for a while until my childhood idealism gradually gave into the realities of real family life when the true nature of who Santa was finally dawned on me.

The legend Papa Noel - Father Christmas as the jolly old fellow is fondly known in some parts of the world still lingers on and the charm and allure of his generoucity still enchants kids like it did me when I was still very impressionable. However, I am an adult now , and I still have wish lists that sometimes despite my best intentions and personal agency  these wishes are unrealized or deferred . Same reality I guess plays out for all of us I dare say .

Five years ago , I developed an appreciation for the stock market and the potential it had for making fabulous realized or speculative gains for those with knowledge, guts, insight and funds to venture into the arena. My inspiration for this blog came about during the Occupy Wall Street movement when thousands of  the disenfranchised worldwide , took to the streets in angry protest against the excesses of corporate greed that ushered in the last recession of 2008 . Public outrage came to a head when the Feds bailed out the banks whose very shenanigans caused innumerable families to lose their homes whose mortgages where tied up in dubious derivatives. I was at the rallies and saw the ire and rage against Wall Street and then something dawned on me. I realized that there was no way that the protesters could gain anything worthwhile concessions against the might of the wealthy one percent, who owned ninety percent of global wealth. I came up with idea that if you can't beat them, then join them. I was determined the to find out how to make money on Wall street so , I bought books watched youtube videos and embarked on a self tutoring effort that made me start this bog : www.stockpiqs.com which after five years , this labor of love has progressively become a trusted portal for actionable stock investment tips for investors worldwide. My efforts so far have been pro bono . I am convinced that there people out there who have profited from my postings and stock picks. If you are one of these or if you are just someone who is moved the spirit of the season , I would like to draw your attention to my christmas wish .

These stocks are benefitting from election-related tailwinds and strong seasonality

As we head into the  post -Thanksgiving holiday, many will still be out shopping and risking their lives to pick up a few deals in the stores to save a little money.

Today, we’re looking at seven stocks that should make Santa Claus’s “Nice” list as their current outlooks, per our quantified models, are lining up for a strong year-end rally.Around here, we’re checking the market for deals on stocks that have caught a tailwind from the election results, as well as a historically positive seasonal trend that favors the end of each year.

These stocks aren’t just from one corner of the market either. There are several sectors here — from restaurant stocks to commercial airliners — that are rising with the year-end tide. Here are seven that are all but sure to deliver a holiday smile for the New Year.

Santa Claus Rally Stocks: Darden Restaurants (DRI)

17 Best Stocks to Buy for 2017
We’ve hand-picked 17 superior stocks that will help you weather any storm on Wall Street… AND bank outsized gains along the way. You’ll find their names & buy prices in this new Special Report. Click here to claim your FREE COPY now!

Consumers are in a spending mood again after the election results have given a boost to confidence that the economy will continue to improve. One of the beneficiaries of the improved outlook is the casual dining group with names like Darden Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE:DRI).

Darden’s last earnings report made for the ninth quarter of earnings per share that beat expectations and saw a return to positive revenue growth. In addition, the company provided positive forward guidance. The positive outlook was muted by anxiety over the elections, but once the results were final, DRI stock took off.

Trading well above its technical support trend, Darden shares are now breaking into new all-time high territory, drawing the attention of the Wall Street analysts that still have the shares ranked a hold or sell. Currently, that accounts for 80% of the recommendations, so we expect upgrades to drive Darden shares higher.

Finally, Darden has been a favorite of the short-selling crowd who find themselves on the wrong side of this bull run. Expect to see more short covering drive this stock higher through December. Our current models target a continuation of the trend to a year-end target above $80.

Santa Claus Rally Stocks: Automatic Data Processing (ADP)

Employment data has been on the rise and the payroll processing companies like Automatic Data Processing (NASDAQ:ADP) are benefiting. The company provided a positive earnings report and outlook on Nov. 2 which started the 11% rally that now has shares moving back to new all-time highs.

ADP has been on our “Target Buy” list for more than two years based on the fundamental strength having to do with the employment market’s improvements. In addition, the chart has been one of the stronger in the Nasdaq 100.

A relative strength leader, ADP shares have now embarked on a relatively volatile rally. We say “relatively” because the daily moves have been careful to not breach the upper Bollinger band, which could trigger a potential slowdown in the rally. This is a positive for the health of this fast-moving rally.

ADP shares continue to maintain their long-term bullish trend that has acted as support for the shares. Intermediate-term trends remain strong as well. The 50-day moving average for ADP just recently moved into an ascending pattern. This suggests that the stock’s three-to-six-month outlook has improved based on the trend and distribution of the daily price changes.

We also love the fact that only 20% of the analysts tracing this stock have it ranked a “buy.” With ADP breaking to new highs, Wall Street is certain to break out a few more upgrades for DRI stock, which means more buyers and more technical and price strength to come.

Our models target a continuation in the bullish pattern with a year-end target above $105

Santa Claus Rally Stocks: Nvidia Corporation (NVDA)

Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) has been on our Target Buy list for more than two years, as this underappreciated stock continues to impress. As one of our favorite tech stocks, Nvidia reported last quarter earnings that blew expectations out of the water. This was another in a long line of positive earnings reports that have yet to turn Wall Street analysts into bulls, which is a good thing.

Short interest on NVDA is still coming in at nine times the average daily volume, indicating that a short squeeze is still likely to move shares higher. Similarly, analyst ranking on Nvidia stock remains relatively low, telling us that we will see some upgrades, especially as analysts start making estimates for 2017.

Nvidia shares are set to continue its charge above $100 as the year-end approaches.
