Top 5 Sliver Stocks To Own Right Now

IRA guru Ed Slott is warning advisors to notify their clients of the recent tax court ruling that says IRA holders can do only one IRA-to-IRA rollover per year, which runs counter to the IRS interpretation of the tax code.

The recommended way to move money from IRA to IRA is via direct transfers, where the money goes directly from one IRA to another—and the holder doesn’t touch the money.

However, in the Jan. 28 tax court decision, the petitioners were transferring money from IRA to IRA using direct rollovers, where the money is payable to the IRA holder, but the money has to be put back into another IRA within 60 days.

“Too many people do this” IRA-to-IRA rollover, Slott told ThinkAdvisor.

The Tax Court decided that neither the IRS nor the plaintiffs, the Bobrows, were correct on the treatment of two IRA rollovers done by Mr. Bobrow, Slott writes in his Slott Report. “Instead the Court ruled that only one of Mr. Bobrow’s rollovers was timely completed because, according to the court, an individual can only do one IRA-to-IRA rollover per year.”

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Evan Niu, CFA]

    What: Shares of Nam Tai Electronics (NYSE: NTE  ) got crushed today by as much as 37% after the company reported earnings.

    So what: Revenue in the first quarter more than doubled to $177.5 million, which translated into earnings per share of $0.11. Both figures handily topped consensus estimates, which were calling for $150 million in sales and $0.05 per share in profit. The real cause for concern was within Nam Tai's guidance.

    Another stock that's starting to move within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Nam Tai Electronics (NTE), which is an electronics manufacturing and design services provider to a select group of the world's leading OEMs of telecommunications and consumer electronic products. This stock has been destroyed by the sellers so far in 2013, with shares off sharply by 41%.

    If you look at the chart for Nam Tai Electronics, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending for the last month and change, with shares moving higher from its low of $6.05 to its recent high of $8.38 a share. During that uptrend, shares of NTE have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of NTE within range of triggering a big breakout trade.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in NTE if it manages to break out above some key near-term overhead resistance levels at $8.38 to $8.79 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 647,483 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then NTE will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from April that started near $11.50 a share. If this stock gets into that gap with volume, then the upside is tremendous and we could easily see NTE hit $11 to $12 a share.

    Traders can look to buy NTE off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below its 50-day at $7.42 a share, or below more key support at $7.22 a share. One can also buy NTE off strength once it takes out that breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

    Finally, Safeway (NYSE: SWY  ) shares were up 30% after hours as the supermarket chain agreed to sell its Canadian operations for $5.7 billion to Sobeys, the No. 2 grocery company in the Great White North. With only about 13% of its total store count north of the border, the deal appears to be a windfall for Safeway as its market cap was just $5.5 billion before the deal was announced. However, Fitch ratings reaffirmed its BBB- credit rating with a negative outlook on the supermarket chain after the deal, noting that the Canadian locations had higher profit margins so the deal will hurt overall profitability. Safeway plans to use the funds, which should total about $4 billion after taxes, to pay down $2 billion of its $6.2 billion debt burden, buy back stock, and potentially invest in "growth opportunities."

    Dollar Tree recently announced record first-quarter earnings, with total sales up 8% and comparable-store sales up 2.1%, crushing the likes of big-box retailers like Safeway (NYSE: SWY  ) and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT  ) , which only reported a change in comparable-store sales of 1.5% and negative 1.2%, respectively.
