Top Cheap Stocks To Invest In 2014

Lululemon Athletica Inc. (NASDAQ: LULU) is due to report earnings this week, and the reality that investors need to face is that it is still not exactly a cheap stock. One report from Canaccord Genuity said that the sporting and yoga-themed apparel company’s 2014 guidance could be the last domino to fall.

The analyst lowered estimates to brace for another round of bad news, but it maintained its formal Buy rating while lowering its price target to $69 from $73 per share.

What 24/7 Wall St. wants to show is that Lululemon simply remains an expensive stock. The only good news is that it is not a wildly expensive one. Still, the damage done here seems severe enough that its chance to stage a snapback stock price rally and a snapback recovery in its image has likely come and gone.

What is interesting is that in the past 90 days, the earnings estimate for this quarter has only dropped by seven cents per share, or about 10%. Shares have fallen more than 16% in that time, but they are down 40% from the $82.50 peak of 2013.

    1. Sirius XM will close higher on the week
    Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI  ) reports on Tuesday morning, and it's easy to bank on a strong report. Auto sales have been strong in recent months, and that's the lifeblood of new subscribers for the satellite-radio provider. Sirius XM has also been providing conservative guidance in recent quarters, leading to blowout performances that force the media giant to revise its outlook higher.

    Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI  ) hit a fresh five-year high today.

    Well, I'll give myself an A for effort, but a C- for timing. But, I can bump that C- up to a B+ if my intuition is right as we head into the last few days of 2013 and the first few of 2014. What I'm talking about is a bullish commentary I penned back on November 26th regarding Uranerz Energy Corp. (NYSEMKT:URZ), Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:URRE), and Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSEMKT:URG). All three stocks were perking up, and more than that, the buzz surrounding URG, URRE, and URZ was getting louder. More often than not, when the fervor and bullish action and chatter reaches the levels they had reached a month ago, an explosion is right around the corner.

  • [By John Udovich]

    Since the start of the week, small cap nuclear fuel stock USEC Inc (NYSE: USU) more than doubled for investors, something that has not happened for investors in uranium stocks like Uranium Resources, Inc (NASDAQ: URRE), Denison Mines Corp (NYSEMKT: DNN), Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSEMKT: URG) and Uranerz Energy Corp (NYSEMKT: URZ). To recap: USEC Inc closed at the $6 level on Friday, but then it surged to the $15 level on Monday only to open at the $10 level on Tuesday when it ultimately closed at $12.46. So what in the world is going on with USEC Inc and is it time to revisit nuclear fuel and uranium stocks?

  • [By James E. Brumley]

    You know, were it just Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:URRE) or just Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSEMKT:URG) or just Uranerz Energy Corp. (NYSEMKT:URZ) making a decided bullish move, I might be able to dismiss it. Similarly, if URZ had only been moving higher for one or two days (or only URG or only URRE), it might be easy to not be impressed. Neither of those situations has been the actual case, however. All three stocks have been moving upward for several days now, quite a bit, on noticeably higher volume. There's something "going on", as it were, and if prior group-wide movements are any clue, it's the kind of move worth tapping into.
