Trawick, for one, juggles a full-time job as an adviser to Delaware State University's Residence Hall Association with full-time psychology coursework. When her 9-year-old goes away to school, she won't be waiting in line at the post office.
"It would be nice to get a pretty package from mom," she says, "but sometimes mom doesn't have the time."
Care package companies are counting on it. In recent years, there has been a rise in commercial gift package options geared toward college students. They range from a bedroom in a bag, including a comforter, laundry hamper, sheets and towels, to a mobile medicine chest full of cough syrup, allergy pills and contraceptives.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Maxx Chatsko]
Companies have had success in the past. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) fielded a rare antibiotic blockbuster in Levaquin in the last decade, which recorded sales of $1.6 billion in 2007. The company still researches infectious medicine, but has enjoyed much more success in oncology and anti-inflammatory diseases. The field is heating up, though. Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO ) bought anti-infective therapy developer Xellia for $700 million this week. Talk about enthusiasm for market prospects. �

If you've read any of my recent articles of Novo Nordisk (NVO) you'd know that I am very Bullish on this stock. NVO produces treatments for Diabetes: a disease that I believe will only continue to proliferate until higher quality, more natural foods are available to humans. Unfortunately, I don't see this happening anytime soon on a broad scale; I actually see the food industry continuing to head in the other direction. This saddens me but not so much that I'm opposed to profiting from the situation. NVO boasts a 10 year 27.47% CAGR and a consistently increasing dividend. I've purchased shares of this stock twice for The Seeking Alpha Experiment portfolio, once on February 11th and again on March 21st after declines in price of 15% and 12%. These dips were because of the FDA's rejection of two drugs expected to be big earnings catalysts for NVO. This will be a detriment to the company's earnings potential in the near term, but I still believe in NVO over the long haul; enough to enter two full positions, essentially making NVO a core position in the portfolio.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Heinzl]
Contrast that with a company such as Canadian Utilities (CDUAF), whose eight price targets range from $40 to $42. (The stock closed Friday at $38.08 [Canadian]). Such tight clustering of targets indicates that analysts have a high degree of conviction about the company's future earnings, which isn't surprising for a utility that throws off predictable cash flows.
