Top 5 Up And Coming Stocks To Buy For 2014

Jim Powell, editor of Global Changes and Opportunities Report, makes the case for emerging markets, including Mexico and Chile; for those with a very long-term outlook, he sees opportunity in lesser known markets in the Middle East and Africa.

Steve Halpern: We're here today with Jim Powell, editor of Global Changes and Opportunities Report. How are you doing today Jim?

Jim Powell: I am fine. How are you Steve?

Steve Halpern: Very good. From a longer-term perspective, you've been particularly bullish on emerging markets. In fact, in your recent research, you said, "I think buying emerging nations, at today's beaten down prices, is a lay-up for long-term profits." Could you expand on that?

Jim Powell: Yes, I'm quite certain that I'm going to be proven correct in that pronouncement. The emerging markets are certainly not going to go back to being rice paddies and rubber plantation workers and so forth.

They have emerged. They are developing. They have large manufacturing bases. They've developed their natural resource assets. They have young, energetic workforces. They've just got a whole lot going for them and they're oversold right now.

    The multi-year bull market for stocks is a major upside catalyst in shares of $21 billion asset manager T. Rowe Price (TROW). Like other asset management firms, T. Rowe gets paid based on how much money it has under management -- so, with a rising tide lifting all ships, that AUM number is ratcheting higher. T. Rowe had $731 billion in AUM at the end of last quarter...

     

    T. Rowe is one of a small number of independent investment managers that's kept its nose clean over the years. By that, I mean that T. Rowe has eschewed more volatile side-businesses in favor of keeping its core mutual fund and retirement account business secure. As a result, it was one of the better-performing mutual fund managers coming out of 2008, and it's been better able to retain assets. Reputation is paramount at T. Rowe, and the firm prides itself on being a good steward for its clients.

     

    As a result, close to 80% of T. Rowe Price's funds are outperforming the rest of the industry on a 10-year time horizon. That long-term outperformance is an asset that's not easily replicated by rival fund managers. As stock prices keep climbing, AUM should keep rising, and TROW should keep earning bigger profits. Right now, the firm pays out a 44-cent dividend that adds up to a 2.1% yield. The firm's payout ratio is currently the lowest it's been since the 2008 market crash -- look for a dividend boost in the quarter ahead.

    Alamy What if there was a way to buy Apple (AAPL) -- recently trading near $568 a share -- for just $500? It's not an outlandish scenario. That's essentially what investors buying into Tri-Continental (TY) are doing. Like many closed-end stock funds, Tri-Continental trades for less than the value of its underlying assets. In Tri-Continental's case, its close on Dec. 24 of $20.18 is a 12 percent discount to its net asset value of $22.95 a share. Tri-Continental invests in some of the country's largest companies across various different industries. Apple just happens to be its largest holding at nearly 3 percent of the portfolio, but it's one of the many stocks in Tri-Continental that investors are buying into for pennies on the dollar. If this sounds too good to be true, you would be right. There's a catch -- and a big catch, at that. But let's first explore the largely ignored universe of closed-end funds. Fun with Funds When investors think about mutual funds they are probably referring to the wide universe of open-ended funds. Led by iconic fund families including Vanguard, Fidelity and T. Rowe Price (TROW), these conventional funds sell an unlimited number of shares. They typically are priced just once at the end of every trading day. Buyers invest and sellers cash out at that day's net asset value, or the closing value of all of the stocks and investments in the funds after subtracting any liabilities that is then divided by the number of shares outstanding. Closed-end funds don't play that way. They trade throughout the day on public exchanges. Tri-Continental, for example, trades on the New York Stock Exchange. A closed-end fund doesn't create new shares when investors want to buy or subtract them when those shares are redeemed. There's a set number of shares, and the free markets of supply and demand dictate their price. Tri-Continental isn't new. The fund has been around since 1929, the same year of a historic market crash. It's one of the hund
