2010 Star Stocks

This is 2010 final update on this year hiddden gems that could rocket and generate a great return. All shares not listed here have been trowned out due to either bad return in 2009 or no faith for increase in 2010. They are listed in order or probable return this year.

TVI (tsx) : Junior very profitable mining company and well undervalued. They are valued under their gross revenues and this is very rare for a mining company that has so much to offer. They have made great improvement during the past 6 months to be more transparent and in my opinion they have nothing to hide and a great future in front of them. They are my top pick for 2010 and would not be surprised if they were to return over 400%

DAN (nyse): One of the biggest player in auto parts with contracts with all major car manufacturers. They have restructured in 2008 and no one knows where their value will stop. With so many car dealearships not having any inventory it is for sure that they will have to build them first before selling them and DAN will be one of the first to get orders. I expect close to 250% return this year.

PXLW (nasdaq) That one will one day explode. There is no way they can stay at this level for too long. Their sales in the next 2-3 quarters will give a good indication of the coming blast. I expect a 200% return for this one and if sales are great in the frist 2 quarters, it could well be in the 500% range.

LVS (nyse) The biggest player in the casino business and undervalued if revenues increase to 80% of what they were 2 years ago. They have major constructions near completion in Singapour and they are a major player in Macau and Las Vegas. If bad news were to sop i would not be surprised to get a 200% return on that one.

ETFC (nasdaq) Wait for report on january 27th and if results are good, it will rocket. Do not forget also that there are still many rumors about a buy out from a large competitor (TD ameritrade or JP Morgan) It could launch a bidding war and you may profit. If the second scenario is occuring, i could expect a 400% return on this one but only based on revenues it should procure a 200% return.

NRI (tsx) This company is not at their best right now on the investor relation side. They got their FDA appoval in november and since then stock has sunk. It is a hold for me but when sales figures are released for Q2 and Q3 expect this one to climb rapidly for a 200% return. They have a line up of great drugs in their pipeline and future growth should be fantastic.

OCNF (nasdaq) Still on the sideline moves but they are in good cash position and as of now they seems to be in a wait and see mode. They have a good ship booking for this year, they are not in any danger regarding obligations and stock will move upward when freight resume to last 2 years results. At that time, expect 150% return.

BPOP (nasdaq) Banking sector in US have been hit a lot since 2 years and BPOP should return to good profitability before Q3. When a quarter resumed to profitability, expect this one to give a 200% - 350% return

MB (tsx) (the january newcommer) They finally recapitalized and market reacted poorly by slapping this stock at about 1/2 of their real value. It is a hold at the moment as new shares will be issued at 0,50 end of march. But if you can get some between 0,50 and 0,65 it could be a good deal as their sales will definitely be good and i would not be surprised to see them rise close to a 1$ before deal close end of march. HOLD but expect 3$ end of this year.

KBH (nyse) They are one of the biggest player in house and apartment entrepreneurship. They are affected a lot by the actual recession in the US. But construction will resume later this year and any share you can buy between 13-15$ is a good buy on a long term view. Expect a 75% return this year.

WFC (nyse) The 5th biggest bank in USA and is now part of my portfolio for stability reasons. Whenever they start paying dividends back it sould go back to their 40$ real value. They are also present in Canada but there are rumors they could be selling that division this year.

RAX (nyse) This one is a newcomer and for the long term only. They are in the Cloud Computing business. 2 words that make some giants like Microsoft very nervous. DO some reasearch on cloud computing and you will understand that the gigest player will be some kind of Google and Yahoo some years ago. This stock may not climb 300% this year but expect a continual rise for the next 3-5 years.

SSS(tsx) Steam cell is probably also a field where many discoveries will take place and why not go with a player that seems to know what they do. At that price it is for fun only at this time and return could be huge. Take a gambling approach on this one. I do not have any expectations at this moment but will let you know with alerts if something happen.

Regarding UUU, FIU, Sprint, WCS.A PRP and F profit was taken and their balance is now at 0 due to better play somewhere else.

Hope you will enjoy this fresh new year and again DO NOT INVEST MORE THAT YOU CAN LOOSE" Do your own researchs before investing in any of these stocks. I do own most of them but you must do your homeworks before investing in any of these. I normally donèt buy to resell rapidly unles major profit is to be make. Whenever you invest in a company be abel to keep those stocks for a period of 2-3 years to avoid bad decisions.

Have a good one
