HB Markets View 2013 – Equity Markets are cheap by any measure…“Most City stockbrokers appear to be indicating a 10% rise in the FTSE 100 ‐ some even beyond 6500 (as at 28th Dec 2012 FTSE closed 5925.37). Apart from an exercise in guessing, what I do know is not necessarily where the UK equity market will be in 1 year from now, but that on most fundamental and historical measures it is cheap. Long-term investors should be buying UK Equities.”Featuring: – BP (BP.) – British American Tobacco (BATS) – BT Group (BT.A) – Costain (COST) – Greene King (GNK) – Royal Dutch Shell ‘B’ (RDSB) – Whitbread (WTB) |

The Midas Touch – Three AIM gold stocks to tuck awayIs Gold a bubble or an opportunity? Gold is regarded as a safe haven in difficult economic times. There has been a decided shift in Central Banks having previously been net sellers of Gold to net buyers. Operation Twist has led to a stronger US Dollar and the gold price has slipped. Gold share price meanwhile have lagged behind the price of the commodity itself. Demand for gold remains robust and supply side is constrained, with the gold price still in a bull phase over 10 years, and production has been largely flat. In this report we place speculative buy recommendations on three AIM-listed gold stocks.Featuring: – Anglo Asian Mining (AAZ) – Caledonia Mining (CMCL) – Polo Resources (POL) |

Oil Price – a one-way bet?John Gapper of the FT reminds us that in 1999 The Economist declared we were ‘drowning in oil’, and considered whether oil prices would fall to US$5 a barrel. Come eight years later; oil at US$145 a barrel. Thus highlights the pitfalls of oil price prediction. Indeed, it is probably true of all natural resources from water to food and metals that price prediction is hazardous especially in the short to medium term. What is not in doubt is the long term demand is on an upward trend, with resources becoming scarcer.Featuring: – BG Group (BG.) – Afren (AFR) – Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG) |

UK Stocks for US Consumer RecoveryEuropean consumers are battling with unemployment and austerity-focused governments. In China, consumers seem to have lost a bit of their enthusiasm and recent trade data indicates that exports are slowing. However, on the other side of the Atlantic, corporate results have shown positive signs for a while and lately US macro indicators have supported a relatively optimistic view of the US economy and the US consumer. The US stock market has started to price in a recovery. And whilst US stocks are far from expensive we believe we can find better value in UK stocks with US consumer exposure than from domestically focused US companies. In this report we present our macro case for US consumer exposure and screen the FTSE 350 for quality stocks to capitalise on the US consumer recovery.Featuring: – Diageo (DGE) – Intercontinental Hotels (IHG) – Reckitt Benckiser (RB.) – WPP (WPP) |
