Rocky’s Weekly Stock Picks

The market is finally coming back, but how long will it last?

Hopefully longer than Bed, Bath, and Beyond’s rally earlier this week. At this moment it’s nearing the end of the trading day on Friday, and we notice there’s a headline regarding a sell-off of BBBY’s assets to a private equity firm.

RIOT is at about $6, as BitCoin continues its upward trend, and UEC fights to stay above the $4 mark.

As for us, we haven’t even looked at anything for next week…..until now! Oh, and markets are closed Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

  1. AKO.A - $11.17/share, ex-div 1/19, annualized 17.36%. AKO.B annualizes at 15.3%, at $13.90/share, if you care. We don’t.

    This is an old school Chilean company that manufactures products for Coca-Cola. We’re very bullish on South America in general, and have very little exposure to food/beverage. This seems like a great way to get that exposure without a whole lot of commitment.


  2. USA -$6.19/share, ex-div 1/19, annualized return of 9.71%. These shares represent a fund comprised largely of equity securities, which includes a limited amount of rights and warrants. Warrants are a great way to achieve huge returns on small investments, provided you know what you’re doing. Or get lucky.

    We’ve gotten lucky a few times. We’ll trust USA with the ‘knowing stuff’ department. We just love the name, to be honest.

  3. LTC - $37.43/share, ex-div 1/20, annualized return of 6.08%. One of our favorite REITs, we want to add more shares while the price is still under $40. Distributions are paid on a monthly basis.

  4. OPI - $17/11/share, ex-div 1/20. annualized at 12.84%, this is a REIT focused on office space. Wasn’t that a great movie, Office Space? Did you all hear about that guy in Seattle who was inspired by the movie to commit corporate theft? Apparently he wrote software that moved money from shipping payments into his bank account.

    We don’t think he paid a great deal of attention to the movie, though. He moved about $200,000 in under 30 days. …. yeah.

    Distributions paid quarterly.

  5. WEAT - $7.52/share. It’s wheat. More correctly, it’s a cash fund exposed to wheat and wheat alone. This is a really convenient mechanism for “buying wheat” without actually getting directly involved in commodities trading.

    We look at this as either a hedge, or a long-term growth interest. If you’re looking for a near-term gain, look at getting out at $10. There should be a couple spikes in price this year.
