Hot Low Price Stocks To Invest In 2019

tags:BIDU,NHTC,COL,ZROZ,IOSP,

Retail giant Walmart (NYSE:WMT) isn’t too happy about the Trump administration enacting tariffs on Chinese imports and potential buyers of Walmart stock wonder how bad things could get.

Walmart recently wrote a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, in which the company detailed how expanded tariffs on Chinese imports would adversely impact the retailer, its customers, and the U.S. economy. The short of it: tariffs will force Walmart to raise prices, which could have a negative affect on consumers, consumer spending, and U.S. economic activity.

If tariffs seem like a negative for Walmart stock, it’s because they are. Tariffs mean either Walmart has to absorb higher costs and operate at lower margins, or they have to raise prices. Walmart has made it clear that they will raise prices. Walmart, whose biggest value props are all-in-one convenience and “Everyday Low Prices,”stands to lose a sizable amount of traffic if prices go up.

Hot Low Price Stocks To Invest In 2019: Baidu Inc.(BIDU)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Brian Stoffel]

  Chinese search giant Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) went public in 2005. After stumbling out of the IPO gate, it experienced the type of run-up that can create dynastic wealth for patient investors. Between early 2006 and mid-2011, shares of the company advanced 3,000%. In other words, in just five years, you could have turned a $10,000 investment into $300,000!

  Hill: We'll stick with video for a minute or two longer. Now that iQiyi is public -- you've talked about this before, is this of interest to you? Is this a stock you've already bought, or it's on the watch list? And for those who don't know, iQiyi was essentially spun out of Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU). So, the Google of China spins out the Netflix of China. And as you said before, it seems like, if nothing else, it's a win for Baidu shareholders, because Baidu still has the ownership stake.

  Tencent's ecosystem covers lots of markets. WeChat, the most popular messaging app in China, grew its monthly active users (MAUs) 11% annually to 989 million last quarter. The expansion of WeChat -- which offers ride hailing, delivery services, e-commerce features, games, payments, and other services -- widens Tencent's moat against search giant Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) and e-commerce heavyweight Alibaba (NYSE:BABA).

Hot Low Price Stocks To Invest In 2019: PIMCO 25+ Year Zero Coupon US Trs ETF (ZROZ)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By ]

  My preferred fund here is Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury ETF (NYSE: EDV), which owns a basket of long-term, zero-coupon bonds. It's better-known, larger, and, most important, cheaper than its competitor PIMCO 25+ Year Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury Index Exchange-Traded Fund (NYSE: ZROZ). Both are poised to rally if deflation hits and the stock market falls. But EDV is cheaper, at only 0.07% expense ratio, compared with ZROZ's 0.15%, and so it's the one that makes the cut.
