Hot Growth Stocks To Invest In 2019: Nordstrom Inc.(JWN)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By ]

  Some reasons for my bearishness on retail stocks:

  Higher Energy Prices. Oil prices have rallied dramatically and back to 2014 levels, rising from about $35 a barrel in early 2016 to around $67 Thursday. That's bad news for U.S. retailers, as rising oil prices historically squeeze consumer disposable incomes. That's one reason why I've been consistently raising my short exposure to retail and plan to continue doing so. Shaky Same-Store Sales Growth. Recent improvements to same-store sales at Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) , Urban Outfitters (URBN) , Dillard's (DDS) , Gap Inc. (GPS) and Macy's (M) come against downgraded expectations, and might not be sustainable anyway. No Deal for Nordstrom (JWN) . The Nordstrom family has apparently abandoned plans to take its namesake company private. I had expressed concerns that this would happen. Higher Interest Rates. A rise in the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) has recently accelerated. That's bad news for retailers, as many variable-rate consumer debts (particularly mortgages) key off of the LIBOR. This will likely put a damper on mortgage refinancings -- something that many see as an important ingredient for personal-consumption expenditures.

Hot Growth Stocks To Invest In 2019: Intuitive Surgical Inc.(ISRG)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Brian Stoffel]

  While I have faith in all the stocks in my portfolio, five stick out as high-conviction picks for the next five years. All five have demonstrated they can defend their core business, while pursuing profitable ways to further their missions. These five are Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG), Axon Enterprise (NASDAQ:AAXN), and Tencent Holdings (NASDAQOTH:TCEHY)

• [By Danny Vena]

  Shareholders of Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) have had plenty to celebrate in 2018. The robotic-surgery pioneer has seen its shares jump 44% so far this year, compared to just a 3% return for the S&P 500. The company's ability to consistently grow its existing market and expand into newer ones has been a hallmark of its success.

  But there was more upbeat news elsewhere, with No. 3 airline United Continental (NYSE:UAL) beating on earnings and freight rail titan CSX (NASDAQ:CSX) delivering record first-quarter numbers. Also on the rapid growth train: Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG), whose da Vinci systems are selling at an impressive rate. And speaking of sales of tech products, the guys close out the episode by explaining why it's a win-win that Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) are joining forces to sell smart TVs.

  The VISE acronym stands for:
