the 3 stocks for 2014

[selkirk]

for my shareclub we pick 3 stocks, last year for 2013 picked

picked dec 2012
XLF (financial etf)
FB (facebook)
and Canacord Financial (Toronto, was the only losing stock, hold a small amount of all three still) believe overall return was over 19%. be much better except for CF. talked about these stocks in predictions thread, and other posts.

Dec 2013 (have the prices written down, was the second friday of the month) Dec.
1. FXM around 13.60 this is the monringstar value etf (Toronto) this mer .60% and beats the index every year except 2008. believe + year but great long term play.

2. AC.b 7.60 this stock went down and is now up to 8.36 up 5% today. this is easy, I like the airlines this company has issued stock twice and went bankrupt twice, they have lowered costs, this will make either 30% or lose 30%, think the airline stocks have more of a good run. also own delta, been there for two years, almost. Air Canada just below $6-7.75. should hit 10.

3. WFT 104 now 106.75 cdn. this is lumber stock talked about in high 80s and 90s, last year, this stock will split 2-1 and believe it has 15% upside, love the lumber stocks.

yes those are all on Toronto, well the latest three are XLF, FB are US. of the latest three FXM is an index on the Toronto index that has a record of beating the main index, except in a down year.

WFT is a lumber producer, also like the US lumber producers, own WY which missed slightly will have an update, seems to be in a range and not going anywhere fast.

the trader in this group is Air Canada, it was up over 10% since post and now is about the same price, went down on a report that the weaker cdn. dollar will hurt their operations, should have taken profits, but never did, still like the stock.
