Best Stocks To Buy For 2014

It doesn't take long for a biotech bull market to gain weight...

 

For the past year, Stansberry & Associates has highlighted one of the greatest bull markets you don't hear about... which is the huge uptrend in biotechnology stocks.

 

Regular readers know that we consider biotech to be one of the greatest "boom and bust" sectors in the market. With its promise of individualized medicine, cancer cures, and miracle drugs, few sectors capture imaginations and speculative money as well as biotechnology.

 

As Steve Sjuggerud says, "If you catch just one biotech bull market in your lifetime, you may never have to work again."

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Roberto Pedone]

  Intevac (IVAC) provides process manufacturing equipment solutions to the hard disk drive industry and high-productivity process manufacturing equipment and inspection solutions to the photovoltaic industry. This stock closed up 8.5% to $6.74 in Tuesday's trading session.

  Tuesday's Range: $6.23-$6.75
  
  52-Week Range: $4.06-$6.80
  
  Tuesday's Volume: 263,000
  
  Three-Month Average Volume: 140,032

  From a technical perspective, IVAC soared higher here right off some near-term support at $6.25 with above-average volume. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last three months, with shares moving higher from its low of $4.31 to its recent high of $6.80. During that move, shares of IVAC have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of IVAC within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit if IVAC manages to take out its 52-week high at $6.80 with high volume.

  Traders should now look for long-biased trades in IVAC as long as it's trending above some near-term support levels at $6.25 or at $5.92 and then once it sustains a move or close above its 52-week high at $6.80 with volume that hits near or above 140,032 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then IVAC will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are its next major overhead resistance levels at $8 to $8.37. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $9 to $9.36 within range for shares of IVAC.
