Top Promising Stocks To Invest In 2014

Our conservative growth stock favorite for 2014 is a large-cap healthcare stock specializing in therapies for cancer and immune-inflammatory related diseases, suggests Stephen Quickel, editor of US Investment Report.

Celgene Corp. (CELG), of Summit, New Jersey, has had quite a run the last 18 months—rising from $60 in mid-2012, and from $80 last January, to the $160-$170 range during the final weeks of 2013.

We've recommended CELG for most of that period. But, because it is still reasonably valued thanks to its ongoing rapid growth, we believe the stock could continue rising into 2014—certainly to the $180-$190 range, and probably above $200.

And because it remains reasonably valued, it tends to resist the downside pressures that can plague stand-out growth stocks.

Fundamentally, Celgene has plenty of established drug products and several promising new ones coming along—including Revlimid, a treatment for multiple myeloma, and transfusion-dependent anemia, whose Stage Three trials recently revealed strong efficacy and safety data.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jake Mitchell]

  As a speculative play on the industry, I came across Texas Rare Earth Resources (TRER.PK), which is principally focused on its 950 acre Round Top project. A Preliminary Economic Assessment by an independent third party found that there are an estimated over 1 billion metric tonnes of resources containing over 1 billion pounds of rare earth elements. A revised PEA, which was originally projected to have a capital cost of $2.1 billion is now estimated to be between $150 million to $350 million. A key concern in the exploration of these mines is how expensive it is to ultimately extract the rare earths from the ground. If Texas Rare Earth is able to show evidence that cost has been significantly reduced it will be the target of interested parties globally.
