Hot Penny Stocks To Watch For 2018

Combine Florida man, a penny stock, a brand new cryptocurrency and multi-level marketing.  What could possibly go wrong?  That was my thinking when Ernie Land told me about Sunshine Capital Inc and Dibcoin.  Sunshine Capital which plans on acquiring businesses has Rx Smart Coffee as one of its targets, so they are taking advantage of Ernie's expertise in multi-level marketing.  I became acquainted with Ernie Land when I was covering young earth creationist Kent Hovind, who having finished his sentence is still working on getting his original conviction reversed.  I think there are some tax issues that the Sunshine Capital people may be making light of, but we'll save them for the end while I give you some background.

About Cryptocurrencies

The best known and most used cryptocurrency is bitcoin.  A website that tracks the  cryptocurrency market indicates that the value of the over 700 currencies that it tracks is just shy of $27 billion. Of that over $18 billion is represented by the over 16 million circulating bitcoins which are worth, as I write this $1,130.72 each.  Two other currencies, Etherium and Ripple, have more than a billion dollars in market capitalization.  There are six others with capitalization over $100 million.

Airbnb for horses? New online platform helps…

The rapidly-growing sharing economy has reached the world of top equestrians: an Airbnb-like online platform that helps horse owners find�barns and stalls�near�their next competitions.�

The online platform called�Staller.com, which�launched�in Florida a couple of years ago, has recently expanded into the�Lower Hudson Valley, in New York, where top equestrian�events� attract hundreds of competitors and their mounts.

Horses who compete at those high levels need some rest between events, but unlike human travelers, the options for overnight housing can be slim.

Wealthy owners and competitors, such as Jennifer Gates, the 21-year-old equestrian daughter of billionaire�Bill Gates, have the means to purchase properties near the�major riding events to use between competitions.

But other owners have to find barns�where they can rent stalls for their horses. Until recently, finding suitable accommodations�has largely relied on word of mouth.�

"It��s difficult to find properties. If you have specific amenities you want to have, it��s difficult to find the right one," said Arturo Ferrando, an equestrian enthusiast who co-founded�Staller.com along with his longtime friend and entrepreneur Pablo Jimenez.

One of the first Northeast barn�owners who listed their properties on the site was�Diana Walters, who founded�The Pavillion Farm in North Salem, NY, about 50 miles from New York City�about a decade ago.�

"People can find The Pavillion Farm through the site, finding out the cost," Walters said of Staller.com. "It gives transparency to the market. You can see what everybody is charging."�

Pricing of�Walters' horse stall�starts at $30 per day, according to Staller.com. A�basic stay�for a stall a night ranges from $20 to $50 in the Northeast farms�listed on the platform.�

With competitions held throughout the U.S., top equestrians need to travel from region to region. Each competition has to offer stables for participating horses, but between competitions, owners may want to stay nearby to prepare for the next one.

"Horses work two weeks a month. The other weeks they have to rest and exercise,"� said�Eric Hasbrouck, head trainer of The Pavillion Farm.

Like Airbnb, HomeAway and other short-term rental platforms, Staller.com allows farm owners to list photos of their�barns, horse stalls and training facilities along with detailed descriptions and pricing.

The platform enables�equestrians to�filter their searches and compare among different stall options. When they find the right one, they can�book and pay their horses' stay in a matter of clicks.�

Walters�said she thought about launching�a similar online platform years ago. So when she�learned Jimenez and Ferrando were already building the online market, she joined as an advisory director and�an investor.�

"You can compare and contrast, which is very important," Walters said.�

Since the Northeast expansion of Staller.com started a couple of months ago,�owners of about 50 barns in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania have listed their properties, Jimenez and Ferrando said.�

"We are very happy that we��re able to provide the platform for them to get more exposure and to showcase their property,"�Jimenez said of farm owners. Staller's phone app is currently under redevelopment and will become available soon.�

Top 5 Tech Stocks To Invest In 2018: Virtusa Corporation(VRTU)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Garrett Baldwin]
  Retail stocks are in focus after the U.S. Census Bureau released monthly sales figures before the bell Tuesday. The bureau said that retail sales increased by 0.3% in April, a figure that matched trade expectations. Markets had expected consumer spending to increase, however home improvement sales were not the major factor that most expected. This was evident from The Home Depot's earnings report. Markets are increasingly optimistic over U.S. trade negotiations with China. Chinese President Xi Jinping's No. 1 economic advisor will visit the United States this week to continue the nation's dialogue with America. In addition, roughly 100 companies and trade associations will be sounding off to the Trump administration about the potential impact of tariffs in the Chinese markets. Stocks to Watch Today: TSLA, AMZN, GS Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) is in focus thanks to tax policy in Seattle. On Monday, the Seattle's City Council passed a bill that will tax Amazon and 131 other companies $275 per employee each year in order to create a fund to address homelessness in the Seattle. The tax is half what was originally proposed and remains a contentious issue for Amazon, which is the city's biggest employer. Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE: GS) is sounding the alarm about the state of the markets. The company warned that the U.S. budget deficit is increasing while America's unemployment rate is falling. This hasn't occurred since the World War II. The bank believes that the combination of the two could cause the Fed to spike interest rates in the near future. This comes at a time when the Fed has already lost control of interest rates. Look for additional earnings reports from Eagle Materials Inc.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals Can Still Go Higher - Cramer's Lightning Round (5/21/18)

Stocks discussed on the Lightning Round segment of Jim Cramer's Mad Money Program, Monday, May 21.

Bullish Calls

Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE:RCL): People are worried about rising raw costs and rising competition. Cramer thinks they're wrong. It's a buy.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (NYSE:VRX): "CEO Joe Papa's doing a great job. Now, it is not going to run fast, OK? But it has had a great move, Joe is doing so much good, he's got a good pipeline, fixing the balance sheet, got 'em out of legal trouble. I can't tell you to take profits. I think it could still go higher."

Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA): It's an overly hated stock which is too low to sell. It's a buy.

Southern Company (NYSE:SO): It's come down a lot on interest rate worries. Cramer likes the stock along with Dominion Energy (NYSE:D).

Neutral Call

Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA): The stock has gone up 100%. It's a good company but the stock has moved up a lot. Hold it.

Bearish Calls

Allergan (NYSE:AGN): This has been Cramer's worst stock in a decade. Don't buy.

Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN): They did not have a good last quarter and the food group is a tough place to be now. Cramer does not see a catalyst.

Carrizo Oil & Gas (NASDAQ:CRZO): The company is smart and well-run. It has moved up a lot and unless oil is going to $90, it's too late to buy in.

Crispr Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CRSP): The stock has run up 175% and Cramer could not recommend a buy this high. He also doesn't mean to say that the ship has sailed.

Enbridge Makes a Bold Move to Acquire All Its Subsidiaries. Will That Make It Buy?

Enbridge's (NYSE:ENB) management has been busy lately. Ever since it acquired Spectra Energy a little less than two years ago, the company has made several otter corporate moves ranging from consolidating some of its subsidiary partnerships, completing strategic reviews that led to distribution cuts, issuing gobs of stock to fund growth, and completely revising its strategic plan. This past week, though, the company made another monumental move by announcing it was consolidating all of its subsidiaries.

This all came on the heels of an earnings result that didn't exactly inspire investors. So it's worth asking whether this deal makes Enbridge a better investment today. Let's take a look at the company's most recent earnings to see why the results weren't that great, why management is electing to consolidate, and how that impacts the way investors should view this stock.�

By the numbers Metric Q1 2018 Q4 2017 Q1 2017

Revenue	CA$12.7 billion	CA$12.9 billion	CA$11.1 billion
Earnings attributable to common shareholders	CA$445 million	CA$207 million	CA$638 million
EPS	CA$0.26	CA$0.12	CA$0.54
Distributable cash flow*	CA$2.31 billion	CA$1.74 billion	CA$1.21 billion

Data source: Enbridge earnings release. *Enbridge's prior earnings releases labeled this as available cash flow from operations. CA$1=$0.78 in U.S. dollars of of 5/15/18.

One thing that doesn't quite add up on paper is that Enbridge was able to generate CA$2.3 billion in distributable cash flow when its earnings and EBITDA results didn't even come close to that number. A large part of that was related to a non-cash writedown�for the sale of its Midcoast Energy gathering and processing assets to a private equity company. Absent that charge, Enbridge's adjusted earnings were CA$1.37 billion and adjusted EBITDA was CA$3.4 billion.

Data source: Enbridge earnings release. Chart by author.

The earnings highlights So far this year, the company has brought CA$2.9 billion worth of its CA$7 billion in projects into service in 2018. The bulk of these assets will come on line in the second half of the year when it completes its Nexus and Valley Crossing Pipeline Line 3, its largest capital project, remains on schedule. It is currently negotiating with Minnesota public authorities about a potential alternate route for the pipe. It expects a permit decision in the second quarter and still believes it can complete the project by 2019. As part of its deleveraging program that was announced in December, Enbridge has successfully�sold CA$3.2 billion in assets including its Midcoast Energy gathering and processing business as well as a 49% interest in its renewable power assets. Management wants total asset sales in the CA$10 billion range.

Rolling it all up

One of the most significant reasons why a company�would want to create a master limited partnership (MLP) is because of the tax advantages it affords companies. However, changes to the regulatory environment and corporate�tax rates have severely diminished the benefits of this corporate structure. On March 15, the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee revised a policy on certain types of contracts pipeline companies used. These contracts, known as cost-of-service contracts, could no longer charge a provision for income taxes since, well, MLPs don't pay taxes. Also, with the changes to the U.S. corporate tax rate, the tax benefits of being an MLP are very much diminished compared to the previous rates.�

As a result of these recent changes, Enbridge announced that it will acquire all of the outstanding shares in its subsidiaries -- Spectra Energy Partners, Enbridge Energy Partners, Enbridge Energy Management, and Enbridge Income Fund -- for a combined total of $8.86 billion. Management noted that the changes to regulations and tax rates were a huge factor in this decision.�

Data source: ENB data by YCharts.

New corporate structure, new questions

For anyone that has a stake in any of the Enbridge subsidiaries, the recent acquisition announcement is probably a bit of a bummer because Enbridge is effectively offering no premium over today's stock prices. This proposal has to go through independent review boards, so we'll see if Enbridge's offer goes through. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Enbridge has to offer some sort of premium after this review because this kind of transaction will enact a significant taxable event for owners of the partnership.�

In the long run, this is probably the best path forward for Enbridge. Having four separate subsidiaries made the company's corporate structure and finanicals unnecessarily complex (go try to read a quarterly earnings statement and tell me if you can follow it). At the same time, though, it leaves a lot of unanswered questions as the company makes this massive corporate change. Will it continue to use equity issuances as a form of project funding now that it is a C-Corp? If not, how will it fund its massive backlog of projects while trying to meet one of management's stated goals of de-leveraging the balance sheet? Before anyone makes a definitive decision on Enbridge's stock one way or another, it would probably be best to see how this all shakes out.�

U.K. stocks set for record after U.S.-China trade war looks averted for now

U.K. stocks rose on Monday, on track for a record closing high, as traders welcomed news over the weekend that China and the U.S. reached an agreement that eases trade tensions between the world��s two largest economies.

That optimism also sparked a rally in the dollar, which in turn pulled the pound lower. That further helped lift the British stock market.

What are markets doing?

The FTSE 100 index UKX, +0.85% �rose 0.6% to 7,824.42, setting it on track to take out its previous closing high of 7,787.97, hit last Thursday.

The pound GBPUSD, -0.4901% �fell to $1.3414 from $1.3466 late Friday in New York. A weaker pound tends to boost the FTSE 100, as the index��s components make the bulk of their earnings overseas and a softening in sterling lifts revenues when converted back into the U.K. currency.

What is driving the market?

The upbeat trading mood in stocks came after Beijing and Washington agreed to drop their tariff threats. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Sunday that the U.S. administration would put the trade war with China ��on hold�� while the two countries work on a deal to reduce the U.S.��s trade deficit with the Chinese. Meanwhile, China agreed to buy more U.S. products, but without specifying a dollar amount.

What are strategists saying?

��It looks like progress on talks between China and the U.S. means we are not about to descend into a punitive trade war. Whilst there is still long way to go, and nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, there has undoubtedly been solid progress and the sense of relief in equity markets is palpable,�� said Neil Wilson, chief market analyst at Markets.com.

��But we must note that the FTSE��s gains of late are probably more attributable to a weaker pound as the dollar rallies across the board,�� he added.

Which stocks are in focus?

Shares of AstraZeneca PLC AZN, +2.48% AZN, -0.30% �rose 1.7% after the drug giant said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Lokelma for the treatment of adults with hyperkalemia.

International Consolidated Airlines Group SA IAG, +1.14% ICAGY, -0.81% �added 0.8% after reports the British Airways-parent is planning to make a ��1.52 billion offer for Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA NAS, -7.43% �.

In Ireland, Ryanair Holdings PLC RY4C, +3.78% RYAAY, +1.76% �slipped 0.2% after the budget airline warned on 2019 profit due to higher oil prices and pressure on fare prices.

Family and friends lend out about $89 billion in cash each year. More than a third of that total is used to help finance a new business while 6% of first-time home buyers get help from (usually) their parents. About a quarter of those loans were never paid back at all and more than 40% were only paid back partially.

The moral here is not to lend more than you can afford to lose. Sort of like playing poker or blackjack in a casino.

But what about lending your credit card to someone else, either a family member or good friend? How likely is that result in a bad outcome? According to a new survey of 2,253 U.S. adults by researchers at CreditCards.com, more than one-third of the time.

Nearly half (49%) of respondents who have ever owned a credit card admitted that they had lent the card to spouses, children, friends, co-workers or “other people” to make a purchase. More than a third (35%) experienced negative consequences.

Overspending by the card’s borrower hit 19% of the trusting souls, while 14% never got repaid and 10% reported that the card was lost, stolen or never returned. By extrapolation, the researchers estimate that 36 million Americans have been hurt by lending a credit card to someone else.
