So what lies ahead for the new year 2019. I will present what I think are the best value stock purchase opportunities for the year. Good Luck.

Dow Jones Industrial Average 23,995.95 (UP) Week ending 1/11/2019
S & P 500 2596.26  

Well here we are again,  resisting the call of those swanky growth stocks and bringing to the table the best ideas in the Value stocks, that I think that will present the best chance for you to make a very good return on your invested money.  

I decided to put them in groups of four this year because there are 16 stock picks. We will start the clock on Jan. 1st and end 12-31-2019.

So here they are stating with Group A:


Group A:

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA:NYSE)

United Rentals Inc (URI:NYSE)

Citizens Financial Group Inc (CFG:NYSE)

Altria Group Inc (MO:NYSE)

Group B:

Alphabet Class A (GOOGL:NASDAQ)

Capital One Financial Corp (COF:NYSE)

Penn Virginia Corp (PVAC:NASDAQ)

AT&T Inc (T:NYSE)

Group C: 

Whirlpool Corp (WHR:NYSE)

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co (BMY:NYSE)/Celgene Corp (CELG:NASDAQ) (Merger)

FedEx Corp (FDX:NYSE)

Intel Corp (INTC:NASDAQ)

Group D:

Micron Technology Inc (MU:NASDAQ)

Oshkosh Corp (OSK:NYSE)

ZTO Express (Cayman) Inc (ZTO:NYSE)

Blackstone Group LP (BX:NYSE)

Some of these names I have mentioned during the year and continue to support them in 2019,  while others are totally new ideas. Some like Altria , are disrupting into other businesses of Juul Vape and Marijuana. Some are merging into powerhouses like BMY/CELG and will be dominant leader in the cancer medicine business. Others like Whirlpool are strongly focused on creating shareholder value.

There were lots of automotive stocks that look cheap here like FCAU, GM, and KMX,  but I steered away from them this year for now. My concern is revenue growth with them. 

Well the other thing going on this afternoon is the Saints/Eagles football game. I think my cat Bowie has placed his vote for the winner.

I hope that you have a healthy and prosperous new year.
