  • [By Jon C. Ogg]

    8. Municipal bonds outperform taxable bond counterparts – The move is predicted to be led by high-yield after serious outflows from municipal bond funds. Doll’s take: the pricing of municipal securities relative to taxable fixed income securities more than take that into account.

    First Recommendation: Nuveen Municipal High Income Opportunity Fund (NYSEMKT: NMZ) as a high-yield closed-end fund municipal bond fund. The fund may invest up to 50% of its managed assets in municipal securities rated below investment grade quality, but no more than 5% of the managed assets may be invested in munis rated at or below B3/B-. Second recommendation: Market Vectors High-Yield Muni ETF (NYSEArca: HYD)

    9. Active managers outperform index funds – This stance is one which has been an ongoing issue for years and years with most managers underperforming benchmarks. Doll believes that active managers have a better chance to outperform when markets and sectors have less correlation.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Shares of Nu Skin (NUS) continue to plunge after the Wall Street Journal reported that China would investigate allegations that the multi-level marketer is a pyramid scheme.

    Reuters

    Yesterday, the People’s Daily ran a story accusing the company of using sales techniques that bordered on brainwashing. While the story can be easily dismissed–and was–the fact that China is investigating cannot.

    So says Canaccord Genuity’s Scott Van Winkle and Mark Sigal, who downgraded Nu Skin to Hold from Buy today. They write:

    While we found yesterday�� article to be the type of complaint multi-level marketers often face, we believe that any government investigation in China opens questions that we can�� forecast. Even with laws to provide a path, we don�� believe that anyone can predict the Chinese government in this instance.

    Lowering rating to HOLD from Buy to reflect a new level of risk in China, which at roughly one-third of our 2013 revenue forecast is a large enough market to significantly impact not only the financial results but also the valuation.

    Nu Skin has plunged 20% to $92.52 today at 10:51 a.m., and has dragged down other multi-level marketers with it. Herbalife (HLF) has dropped 5.9% to $74.74, while Usana Health Sciences (USNA) has fallen 9.1% to $59.77.

    Maybe it’s because China is a heck of a lot bigger than Belgium? Remember, back in December, a Beligian court ruled that Herbalife was not a pyramid scheme, which had some bulls acting as if the debate was decided. China, however, is a much bigger beast, and if it come to the conclusion that Nu Skin is indeed a pyramid scheme, it’s not impossible that the issue will become front and center for other multi-level markers again.

    I’ll leave you with a piece of a Citron Research report on Nu Skin from Oct 2013, that reminded investors that China’s newspapers were already looking into the case of Nu Skin even as

    Shares of Herbalife have dropped 3.5% to $66.53 at 2:44 p.m., while Nu Skin Enterprises (NUS) has dipped 0.1% to $79.99, Usana Health Sciences (USNA) has fallen 0.4% to $75.84, Avon Products (AVP) has gained 0.9% to $15.22 and Weight Watchers (WTW) has advanced 0.2% to $20.95.

    Shares of Herbalife have jumped 4.2% to $71.81 in after-hours trading after gaining 3.8% today. Herbalife, Nu Skin Enterprises (NUS) and Usana Health Sciences�(USNA) advanced today on reports that China was considering stricter regulation of multi-level sellers.

    The FTC’s decision to investigate Herbalife (HLF) came with collateral damage for all multi-level marketers, including Nu Skin (NUS) and Usana Health Sciences (USNA).

  • [By James E. Brumley]

    If you're like most investors, you've probably never heard of Euro Tech Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ:CLWT). I have a confession to make - until a few days ago, I hadn't heard of it either. Yet, in just the few short days I've had to get to know CLWT, I've come to the conclusion that if you're the kind of person who would be just as comfortable taking an extra $1000 to the casino as you would be in putting that money into a brokerage account and putting into a crazy stock, then Euro Tech Holdings may be worth a shot to you.
