No.16: Legend International (LGDI)

Isa district, along the margin of the Georgina Basin of Queensland, Australia. The company also owns interests in diamond and base metal projects located in Northern Territory. Its exploration licenses cover 40,525 acres in Queensland and 4.7 million acres in the Northern Territory, Australia.

No.17 Level 3 Communications (LVLT)

 

Experts say that this stock is shifted temporarily to the bearish side, which makes them cautious about picking stocks in early 2011. With that caveat in mind, the editor of they looks to the Level 3 Communications (NASDAQ: LVLT), s speculative, low-priced issue.

Expert owned these top stock years ago and when Level 3 bought Broadwing we got stock and cash; thus solid profits years ago or zero-cost basis on Level 3 shares.  "After pundits hyped it (at triple current prices) the top stock has dropped to an area of attractiveness. One caution: from sub-$1 levels during our forecast market panic a year ago, the shares have doubled; thus it's not impossible that 'capital gains taking' could suppress the top stock somewhat early-on in the New Year."Thus our buy-zone will be particularly wide; such as between 90 cents and $1.30 or so. One may elect to pay more and scale-in; though we’d prefer to buy in on pullbacks."Meanwhile, we note that their ability to service their debt should not be an issue presently; so we are interested to see what they do over the next year or two; not past 2012.  

"Our original interest in Broadwing -- now absorbed by Level 3 -- was the all-digital-optical as well as transcontinental (now to Europe as well) fiber system. On top of that mobile carriers are increasingly looking to 'backhaul alternatives' to meet their increasing bandwidth needs, which should increasingly result in loading to fiber backhaul systems.

"The low latency is a reason why most sports and news networks are using Level 3 (two-way conversation reveals latency, whereas one-way conventional transmission doesn’t) for their HDTV broadcasts and we believe that will increase in importance as 3D arrives eventually.

No.18 PepsiCo (PEP)

PepsiCo owns some of the most sought after brands in the world, including Gatorade, Tropicana, Frito-Lay, and Doritos.  It does business in more than 200 countries worldwide, including key emerging market economies like China and India.

"Perhaps most important of all, it’s a growth company with analysts expecting long-term future earnings growth of 10-12% per year."In recent months, PepsiCo has taken another major step forward with the pending acquisition of its two primary bottlers – Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas. "The acquisition provides the potential to eliminate an estimated $500 million to $1 billion in redundant costs.  If those cost savings are transferred directly to the bottom line, shareholders could see a significant increase in net income of 10% to 20%.

No.13 Jinpan International (JST)-

Jinpan International Limited (NYSE: JST), a manufacturer of transformers. In 2009, the Shanghai Composite Index surged over 70%, far outperforming the stock markets of the United States and most of Europe.

"Questions abound about whether China is too hot to handle and is a bubble waiting to burst. But I believe investors should look at each company individually, whether it is in China or not."While macroeconomic and political issues shouldn't be ignored, some companies will be better suited to ride out any rough patches. One of those companies is Jinpan International, one of only two UL certified cast resin transformer manufacturers in the world. While it has its headquarters and manufacturing facilities in China and generates a majority of its business in China, Jinpan is actually an American company held by a British Virgin Islands holding company. It is also not a newbie on the Chinese stage. Jinpan has been in business since 1993.

"The company manufactures medium voltage transformers (10-25 kV.) That doesn't sound too glamorous, but the transformers are used in large infrastructure projects like factories and real estate developments as well as in municipal transportation projects like airports and subway systems."Jinpan is positioned to benefit from the trillions of dollars of government stimulus around the world, as much of it is going into infrastructure. International sales have been growing. In the third quarter, sales outside of China rose 40% to $8.1 million and accounted for 18.5% of net sales, up from 13% a year ago. 

"International customers were ordering cast resin transformers for wind power applications, along with the more traditional orders for use in airports, subways, and data centers.

No.14 Keegan Resources (KGN)

Gold will be the primary beneficiary of the massive bailout and stimulus plans enacted by not only the United States, but every industrialized nation across the globe. Keegan controls the Esaase gold project, a major mine-in-the-making located in the investor-friendly nation of Ghana, in West Africa. Keegan was among the highest of the high flyers during gold’s fall rally. Although the share price has therefore come back fairly hard during the subsequent correction, the closing of a recent financing essentially opened a door to potential take-out ours for the company.

No.15 Kinder Morgan (KMP)

Kinder Morgan Energy Partners is one of the largest owners and operators of energy- product pipelines and storage facilities in the United States. Formed in 1992, KMP is structured as a publicly-traded master limited partnership (MLP). MLPs are an important asset class for income investors because they are legally required to distribute most of their taxable income and cash flow to shareholders (known as 'unitholders'). KMP currently pays a quarterly dividend of $1.05 per unit, equivalent to $4.20 per year for a yield of approximately 7% at current prices. It should be noted that MLPs are best held in taxable accounts as most of their distributions are classified as 'return of capital'."
