Apple Inc. and 10 Tech Stocks Analysts are Recommending

Apple Inc. is one of the so called tech giants nowadays that is why stocks analysts are recommending it. Insider Monkey share to us an article about "Apple Inc. (AAPL) and 10 Tech Stocks Analysts are Recommending".

You might remember our coverage of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) analysts' target prices in comparison with the stock's actual market performance last year. If you've followed the tech scene over the last six months, then you must know what a disastrous strategy it has been to "trade the ratings" with Apple.

We discussed how the widest gap between the mean target price per analyst consensus and actual stock price was at 44% for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), which was more than the gap for technology giants like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) or Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), for example. Well, things haven’t changed much since then and, in spite of a weaker undertone, Apple is still one of the most widely covered stocks on Wall Street, who are still giving exuberant target prices for the company.With targets between $360 and $888, the average target price comes to $591.19, which is still about 40% higher than its present market price.

Hedge Funds’ 10 Favorite ETFs

Ever wonder of the hedge funds' 10 favorite ETFs? Insider Monkey created "Hedge Funds’ 10 Favorite ETFs" just for you to have the information you are looking for.

Exchange-traded funds (ETF) like the SPDR Gold Trust (ETF) (NYSEARCA:GLD) have many similarities with regular stocks. However, even though it trades like a stock on the market, an ETF is a security that follows an index, a commodity or a basket of assets, so it has some particularities as an index fund. Because it acts like a stock on the market, but also because of the low cost and tax efficiency, ETFs can represent an interesting investment opportunity.

Owners of ETFs benefit from the diversification of an index and from the possibility to sell short, and purchase at least one share. In addition, an extra advantage is that ETFs owners bear some lower expenses compared to the average mutual fund, because buying and selling ETFs involve the same commission as paid on any regular order.

Solar Stocks Loved By The Smart Money

Interested in solar stocks? Solar stocks loved by smart money are now revealed. Insider Monkey made a blogging on the " Solar Stocks Loved By The Smart Money". 

Energy is one of the most important topics in the world economy at the moment, particularly from a long-term standpoint. As renewables continue to gain greater support from both sides of the political aisle in the U.S. (and in many developed and developing nations abroad), there's inevitably a push toward investment opportunities in this space. Publicly-traded solar energy companies are in particular focus, and names like First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR), SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR) and GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:GTAT) have been brought to the center of Mr. Market's attention.

Speaking of First Solar specifically, it is important to mention that in its recent acquisition of the Japan-based TetraSun, there exists a key opportunity for expansion that couldn't exist elsewhere. In Japan in particular, limited land availability reduces the space that solar providers have for PV plants, and TetraSun, which specializes in rooftop systems, should be a good way for First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) to expand vertically, rather than horizontally--literally speaking.  See Insider Monkey for more about solar stocks.

The 10 Largest Credit Rating Agencies In The World

Do you what are the largest credit rating agencies in the world? Insider Monkey brings us a blog post about "The 10 Largest Credit Rating Agencies In The World". A credit rating agency (CRA) is a company that assigns credit ratings for companies, entities, governments, and state or local governments who are issuing some kind of debt obligations, like bonds that can be traded on secondary markets. A CRA often analyzes debt instruments themselves. Credit ratings involve opinions about credit risks. They refer to ability or obligations of the issuer to complete its financial responsibilities in accordance with the bonds that are issued.

 Usually CRAs follow a simple, subscriber-based business model to achieve some income. This model involves releasing publications but not distributing them for free, but to receive a fee from its subscribers and provide the publications only for them.

The Most Short Sold Stocks

Ever wonder of the most short sold stocks? Insider Monkey has made a post regarding the list on "The Most Short Sold Stocks".

For investors looking to hedge or speculate, there are many reasons why one would short sell a stock. While bi-monthly short interest FINRA data is useful for determining a broad gauge of the 'most hated' stocks on the Street, it's important to note that an abnormally high short interest can lead to a short squeeze. Though tough to pinpoint, recent short squeeze scenarios include Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), among others, but generally speaking, a short interest percentage above 30% (of float) indicates a level that retail investors should stay cautious of.

The stock price of Disney has been in a general uptrend over the past 12 months, and is now up more than 40% from a year ago. Logically speaking, this makes Disney an unfavorable candidate for short sellers, but there are still a few bears out there. Please see Insider Monkey for more details about the most short sold stocks.
