Construction stocks, especially those tied to infrastructure (whether it’s residential, commercial or municipal), have been thriving since the market put in its early February low. Here are three names I like the most.

Tesla stock is back on the rise thanks to its new Model 3 sedan, which is already a bigger seller than anyone expected.

Facebook (FB) will report its latest quarterly results next Wednesday, April 27, after the market closes. And you can bet that people will be paying attention. When your company has a market cap of nearly $322 billion, a float of 2.2 billion shares, coverage from 49 analysts and over one billion active users per DAY (!), people tend to pay attention.

Small cap gold stocks have been on fire in 2016. Many are up 50%, 100% or more. It hasn’t mattered much if the company is a profitable gold producer or a pre-revenue gold explorer. If it has anything to do with gold, it’s probably gone up. I monitor a watch list of small-cap gold stocks. And these five are up over 100% so far this year.

In the 10 days since Tesla Motors (TSLA) unveiled the prototype of its Model 3 sedan, more than 325,000 people around the globe have put down $1,000 deposits for the car. That’s more than $325 million in Tesla’s coffers, which the company gets to keep for more than a year; deliveries of the $35,000 four-door sedan won’t begin until late next year.

Although the markets wobbled a bit in anticipation of the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, the Dow Jones Industrial Average still managed to squeak out a 400+ point gain since our last issue.

Recent uncertainty over a possible interest rate increase this summer has dampened the Dow Jones Industrial Average, yet economic reports have been a bit better than anticipated.

Markets were a bit rattled that our economy added only 38,000 jobs last month, causing the Dow Jones Industrial Average to stumble a bit, but it has since bounced back and is once again near 18,000.

The markets have certainly given us a hair-raising ride since last month. Although the Federal Reserve’s decision to bump up interest rates was already priced into the market, the headwinds of China sent global market exchanges into a tailspin.

Markets have continued making record highs this past month, although the pace of large daily jumps has slowed down.
