PAREXEL International Corp (NASDAQ:PRXL)

medical with upside

It's never too early to go Christmas shopping. Picking a broad basket of stocks that seem favorable when expecting a short term bull rally.

Another sell-off buying opportunity.

Because I can bet the sector will win, without the risk of crappy management....Pfizer *cough cough*

Taking today's (1/27) 30% gain on this stock and going Thumbs Down for a few weeks.

So cheap.

Considerable backlog exists for the services of this clinical research and marketing company whose stock has taken an unjustified hit of late.

One of few stocks in the world that operates in an industry outside of the FIRE sector of economy (FIRE = Financial, Insurance & Real Estate).
In fact, not only does this company operate outside of FIRE, but it offers good future dividend potential, great valuation to earning potential, and is a great pick within its respective sector.



These are companies I'd put my money into right now rather than into residential real estate, apartment buildings, other stocks, commodities, or bonds. Few may fail, but just as many will quadruple within the next decade.


BUY.


bullish on nws, hnsn, prxl, aray, chp, navi, hero, bas, pcz, cybx, feic, ebay



These picks are within this CAPs account that is market neutral - all longs are offset by a short. All long & short picks are diversified across industries & world location to limit downside exposure. This CAPS account will maintain at the very least 20 picks and at the very most 80 picks. Picks will be ended in long/short pairs to remain neutral.

This stock has consistently outperformed the S&P 500 and seems to be undervalued due to the recent sell off. No debt makes them very attractive in this market.

Clinical research. 4 star.

Breakout today from cup-with-handle, right at confluence of 50-day and 200-day MAs

Biggest gainer in equity potential rank

it will keep growing

This stock is set to split in the middle of March. With $1 billion in sales, and anticipated earnings of almost 30% for both this year and next, PRXL will be a great investment.

Great sector to be in. Similar to an oil-service stock- you get all of the benefits with minimal risk. Easy outperform.
