Top 5 Gas Utility Companies To Invest In Right Now

Last week, I showed you a handful of charts that dispel a common misconception... one that is keeping thousands of retirees up at night.   I dispelled the idea that the U.S. economy is running off the rails... that we are in a recession, or worse, a depression.   Despite the facts I showed you... and despite the fact that stocks are still a good value (read more here), the stock market still hasn't boomed like I believe it will.   But that's about to change. Here's why...   Investors spent much of 2012 "stampeding" into bond funds. Bonds are seen as "super safe" investment vehicles... much safer than stocks. A stampede into bonds is a classic sign that people are scared of a volatile and uncertain stock market.   And even with interest rates near all-time lows, people were still moving gobs of money into bonds and bond funds.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By James E. Brumley]

  Since 2008's implosion from the stock, the interest in Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:SVNT) has been waning. There was a brief burst of bullishness in September of last year, which stirred the bullish pot a little. But, when SVNT started to fade in October of that year - just as quickly as it had perked up - what lingering hopes there were for the stock finally started to melt away. By the middle of this year, pretty much everyone had written Savient Pharmaceuticals off as a lost cause. Big mistake. Over the last few days, SVNT has almost wiggled its way buck into a bullish zone.

  It's still too soon to say Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:SVNT) is off and running. In fact, the stock's decidedly NOT off and running yet. But, it's not too soon to put SVNT on your watchlist of potential breakout candidates, as it's much closer to a breakout than most anyone can see.
