Oil stocks have rebounded nicely this year on the heels of recovering oil prices. But is the long-term downtrend in oil truly over? Recent red flags suggest not.

The next great growth stock is a cloud-based market leader in the nonprofit fundraising industry. And it’s already grown too big to remain in my small-cap portfolio.

Markets are at all-time highs, but these three large cap growth stocks have yet to fully join the party. That should change, and I’m bullish on one of them in particular.

A year ago I wrote why you should sell Apple (AAPL) stock. It has fallen quite a bit since, but I still think there’s more downside ahead. Here’s why.

Today I want to write about one unique subset of indicators I track. These indicators don’t speak often … but when they do, they have a history of pointing to healthy gains in the months ahead. And one is speaking now. I call these “blastoff” indicators, and they’re meant to spot rare displays of power from the market in terms of breadth or volume.

I’ve identified a mid-cap stock that has routinely surprised the market with its financial performance of late. Perhaps even more surprising ... it’s a bank!

Even at new record highs, there are reasons to believe the stock market is headed much higher. Here are 10 that come to mind.

Apple may be the most respected consumer electronics brand in the world. Its users are loyal. Its premium pricing means it’s a very profitable company, with after-tax profit margins of 21.6% in the latest quarter. But there are a couple of reasons why I think AAPL might not be the best investment.

2015 has been a challenging year for most investors. And if this year taught us anything, it’s that options need to be a part of every trader’s playbook.

Perhaps the only consistency in the oil market is a lack thereof. The repeating pattern of boom and bust has played out over and over again, regardless of time and place. Oil stocks from the U.S. to Africa to the Middle East to the South Pacific do the same thing. Predicting when and how long each cycle lasts is impossible. But that doesn’t stop investors from trying! The potential gains from the booms are just too juicy.

A stock market comparison between this year and 2011 draws some eerie parallels. What does that mean for the market in 2016? More than you’d think.

Is the Santa Claus Rally real? It’s a decent question this time of year, especially this year.

Tomorrow the Fed is expected to raise interest rates for the first time in many years. What the market will do in reaction is literally anyone’s guess. That said, I can use the options market to price-in expected moves and risks.

I scanned my database to find 10 stocks with the right credentials to perform very well in 2016. My top 10 picks are stocks of U.S. companies with exceptional prospects for 2016. All of my stock selections are selling at bargain prices, and all have the potential to easily beat the stock market indexes in 2016!
