Top 10 Industrial Disributor Stocks To Buy Right Now

To paraphrase the 17th-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes, the tenure of a corporate executive can be "nasty, brutish and short." Indeed, many CEOs and chief financial officers last just a few years on the job before the board decides that fresh blood is needed.

Most of the time, such a transition appears to be orderly, but when an abrupt change is made, you should almost always move quickly to sell shares. There's a very good chance that you'll be able to buy back shares at a much better price down the road, for reasons I'll explain in a moment.

Scandal In The Grocery Aisle
After a series of stumbles, including a botched deal to buy Pringles potato crisps and allegations of price-fixing of in the walnut market, several executives at Diamond Foods (Nasdaq: DMND) were abruptly terminated in February 2012. Shares suddenly collapsed by two-thirds from prices seen just a few months earlier, leading some investors to start to bottom-feed this stock in search of value.

Such buying turned out to be premature, as Diamond Foods' problems only deepened from there, and the company repeatedly missed filing deadlines with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Roberto Pedone]

    A pharmaceutical player that's starting to trend within range of triggering a big breakout trade is IntelliPharmaCeutics (IPCI), which specializing in the research, development and manufacture of generic controlled-release and targeted-release oral solid dosage drugs. This stock has been on fire over the last three months, with shares up a whopping 99%.

    If you take a look at the chart for IntelliPharmaCeutics, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending a bit over the last few weeks, with shares moving higher from its low f $3.12 to its recent high of $4.37 a share. During that uptrend, shares of IPCI have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of IPCI within range of triggering a big breakout trade above some key overhead resistance levels.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in IPCI if it manages to break out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $4.37 to $4.62 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.31 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then IPCI will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 52-week high at $6.46 a share.

    Traders can look to buy IPCI off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at $3.36 or at its 50-day moving average of $3.13 a share. One could also buy IPCI off strength once it starts to take out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

    The warehouses have been getting heat for more than two years for long delays in shipping aluminum to buyers. The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) filed a complaint with the LME in 2011 alleging that Metro brought aluminum into its warehouses and then refused to let the stuff leave, which caused delays in delivery, higher storage charges and higher prices for aluminum. Coke claimed that Goldman/Metro paid cash incentives to producers like Alcoa Inc. (NYSE: AA) and Rio Tinto PLC (NYSE: RIO) to store aluminum in Metro’s warehouses during the 2008 and 2009 recession.

Advisors' Opinion:

    Inversion can yield significant tax savings. One of the most recent deals, for example, shifts medical device giant Medtronic (MDT) from Minneapolis to Ireland, where it acquired rival Covidien. Ireland's corporate tax rate of 12.5% is significantly lower than the top U.S. rate of 35%. Pfizer (PFE) recently pursued a similar deal with its British pharmaceutical rival AstraZeneca (AZN).

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Maxx Chatsko]

    There have been two pops of at least 20% for industrial biotech in the last week -- both on the heels of expected news, nonetheless. Last week Codexis (NASDAQ: CDXS  ) announced that it successfully completed a demonstration facility in Italy for its CodeXol detergent alcohols with partner Chemtex. It is a step in the right direction, but more sustainable share movements will come with courting commercial partners. The two still have plenty of work to collect production metric data and move into commercial scale with a bigger partner.

  • [By Maxx Chatsko]

    The company will now compete more readily with industry leaders Novozymes from Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO  ) and Genencor from DuPont (NYSE: DD  ) . However, the biggest effects could be felt at Codexis (NASDAQ: CDXS  ) , which has also licensed the cutting-edge host organism from Dyadic. Will BASF's push into industrial enzymes, specifically using the C1 platform, vindicate Codexis or shove it out of the way?
