Top Heal Care Companies To Invest In 2014
These are three strong choices that should be enter in an equity portfolio for a long-term time-frame. These are three companies providing a diversification in a portfolio deriving from the construction, transportation and gaming industry.
ELLAKTOR (ASE: Ellaktor:GA) This is allegedly the strongest company in the industry, with really tempting financial capabilities. ELLAKTOR's main competitor is GEK TERNA (ASE: GEKTERNA:GA). The company, however, has better financial ratios in the industry. For example ELLAKTOR's P/BV is 0.62 where GEK TERNA's is 0.78 and the industry has 1.16. The lower the better, since the company is considered "semi – undervalued" and thus has enough margin to increase. Also, you can see below some main ratios in comparison with GEK TERNA:
The first two pictures refer to GEK TERNA whereas the last two to ELLAKTOR.

Advisors' Opinion:
[By Eric Lam]
Air Canada, the nation's largest airline, surged 7.2 percent after reducing costs. Manulife Financial Corp. (MFC), Canada's largest insurer, increased 2.6 percent for a fourth day of gains. Trilogy Energy Corp. plunged 9.8 percent after reporting a loss as sales declined. Detour Gold Corp. plunged 18 percent after saying it will not meet its 2013 production targets. Centerra Gold Inc. and HudBay Minerals Inc. sank at least 3.7 percent as gold dropped to a three-week low in New York.
[By Jonas Elmerraji]
Manulife Financial (MFC) is another stock that's forming an ascending triangle pattern right now. In the case of this $33 billion Canadian financial services firm, resistance comes into play at $18, a price level that's acted as a ceiling for shares since all the way back in July. The buy signal comes on a move through that $18 barrier.
Whenever you're looking at any technical price pattern, it's critical to think in terms of those buyers and sellers. Triangles, and other pattern names are a good quick way to explain what's going on in a stock, but they're not the reason it's tradable. Instead, it all comes down to supply and demand for shares.
That $18 resistance level is a price where there has been an excess of supply of shares; in other words, it's a place where sellers have been more eager to step in and take gains than buyers have been to buy. That's what makes a breakout above it so significant — the move means that buyers are finally strong enough to absorb all of the excess supply above that price level.
After it happens, I'd recommend keeping a protective stop at $16.50.
Top Heal Care Companies To Invest In 2014: Marathon Investments Ltd (MARA)
Marathon Investments Ltd is an Israel-based company that invests in income-producing industrial companies.

Advisors' Opinion:
Although some view patent investors or speculators as nothing more than "patent trolls," small cap patent stocks RPX Corporation (NASDAQ: RPXC), Marathon Patent Group Inc (OTCBB: MARA) and Endeavor IP Inc (OTCBB: ENIP) are a couple of interesting options that allow retail investors to invest in patents as they either invest in patents themselves or they provide patent related services. However, there could be risks associated with investing in patent stocks because a bi-partisan bill called the Innovation Act (H.R. 3309) is working its way through Congress to try and reign in the activities of so-called patent trolls or companies who go out and buy or license patents from others and then target alleged infringers with lawsuits.
Today, MARA has shed (-3.78%) down -0.23 at $5.85 with 23,913 shares in play thus far (ref. google finance Delayed: 11:09AM EDT September 11, 2013).
Marathon Patent Group, Inc. previously reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 ("Q2 2013″).
For Q2, 2013, the Company reported gross revenue of $1,524,979, as a result of three patent licensing and settlement agreements. Q2 2013 marks the first quarter the Company has reported significant licensing and settlement revenue. Included in the gross revenue amount is the value of certain patents received in settlement from a defendant.

With respect to the auto industry, vehicle sales are high in the last 12 months. But looking forward, Aluminum represents the second largest-volume component material in automotive vehicles and is expected to double by 2025. The firm's largest competitor includes Aluminum Corporation of China Limited (ACH). Hedge fund gurus have also been active in the company. Gurus like Steven Cohen (Trades, Portfolio), Mario Gabelli (Trades, Portfolio), Paul Tudor Jones (Trades, Portfolio) and First Pacific Advisors (Trades, Portfolio) have added it in fourth quarter 2013.
However, don't be fooled into thinking AA is a good buy right now: This company falls short on sales growth. Alcoa's main competitor is Aluminum Corporation of China Ltd. (ACH), but it is also rated a sell. So I wouldn't be looking for buying opportunities in aluminum right now.

DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI ) reported earnings on May 7. Here are the numbers you need to know.
The 10-second takeaway
For the quarter ended March 31 (Q1), DigitalGlobe missed estimates on revenues and beat expectations on earnings per share.
[By Maxx Chatsko]
The second well-researched pick that worked out in the long run was satellite manufacturer GeoEye. After a few balks, the company was acquired by DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI ) . Similar to Hess, GeoEye was caught in a temporary downturn caused by short-term-minded investors. The company still held the highest-resolution commercial remote-sensing satellite and, despite having a smaller geospatial archive than DigitalGlobe, was 3.6 times more efficient in turning its imagery into revenue. The company was trading at $19 per share 13 months ago, but ended life as an independent company at over $35 per share.

[By Michael Lewis]
Dairy pure-play Dean Foods (NYSE: DF ) is flirting with its 52-week high after an encouraging earnings report released earlier this week. As it so often goes in special situations, investors deemed the company relatively uninteresting after a high profile spin-off of plant-based food segment WhiteWave (NYSE: WWAV ) and divestiture of Morningstar — purveyor of staples such as International Creamer. Skeptics cited declining milk consumption and heavy debt as detractors to the stock, but, post spin-off, Dean Foods is a cash-generating, inexpensive pick in an otherwise difficult sector. With the recent earnings report in mind, let's take a closer look.
