  5. cybersecurity stocks like Mimecast (MIME), Symantec (SYMC), CyberArk Software (CYBR) and Proofpoint (PFPT) are showing signs of a rebound.Now next-generation firewall provider Palo Alto Networks (PANW) is trying to enter a potential new buy zone, flashing two telltale signs that may mean a new breakout would succeed
  6. biotech stocks, as measured by the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (ticker: IBB), have already rallied 10% since Tuesday’s close, on the well-founded belief that Trump will go easier on these business than Hillary Clinton would have.
  7. also bullish on stocks levered to fresh government-fueled infrastructure spending. Among his favorites: Jacobs Engineerin g (JEC) and Martin Marietta Materials (MLM).He has also identified companies that will probably be allowed to bring home at a low tax rate billions of dollars of profits currently parked overseas, which they can put to work for shareholders. They include Nike (NKE), Procter & Gamble (PG), Caterpillar(CAT), and credit-card processors Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA).

  8. Stock winners and losers from Trump policies – from Barron’s    http://www.barrons.com/articles/trump-win-creates-winners-losers-1478930318      link: trump-win-creates-winners-losers
  9. I have missed Barron’s recommendation on steel company (on Oct 15 u-s-steel-shares-could-rise-50), the stocks has increased about 50% since then. In addition, I have just checked Google finance, the YTD change of stock price of US steel (ticker: X) is 222%!!!!!!!!! This is a huge miss for me!!!! Lesson learned: always think forward, prepare for the future, and appreciate Barron’s recommendation.
