Rocky’s Weekly Stock Picks

This week is going to be super cut-and-dry. No frills, no explanations, just fast picks that are guaranteed to be better than putting your cash under a mattress.

Prices are posted while the market is still open and may change before day’s end.

  1. AG - $7.72/share, 0.23% yield distributed quarterly, options trade weekly.

    This silver (and other minerals) mining company has seen a sharp rise in share price this last week or so. Love it.


  2. UEC - $7.81/share, options trade weekly.

    Uranium. Yum! Get in before the price jumps to double digits!


  3. NEGG -$0.63/share, options trade monthly.

    NewEgg certainly doesn’t look attractive right now. However, it sure is cheap! Buy 100 shares and sit on it.

    Or don’t. We really could care less.


  4. SLVO - $83.53/share, 18% yield. Whoa! That number isn’t quite accurate, and overall you would expect closer to 8% yield.

    Fidelity’s calculations get a little wonky with any security that has wild fluctuations in its distribution amounts. In any case, here’s some copy/paste from Yahoo! explaining this security.

    The index measures the return of a “covered call” strategy on the shares of the iShares® Silver Trust (the “SLV Shares”) by reflecting changes in the price of the SLV Shares and the notional option premiums received from the notional sale of monthly call options on the SLV Shares less notional transaction costs incurred in connection with the covered call strategy.

    BORING. All we know is that this involves touching silver (vicariously) and getting paid (literally).


  5. UBS - $32.03/share, 2.17% yield distributed annually, options trade weekly.

    UBS bought up Credit Suisse, proving once again that banks don’t fail; they just pivot.

    Besides, they’re Swiss. Swiss and banking go together like cheese and Swiss.

    If you hate cheese, or hate Switzerland, then consider literally any bank as an alternative investment. Banks are great because they have money. Duh.
