Top Stocks To Hold For May 2014

We have already see that Indians are currently most optimistic investors on back of robust growth in the domestic consumption market and a positive economic outlook.
Having said that the first question that would come to the mind of an investor is which stocks to invest in, now that the markets have gained 60% over the last one year. Stocks are no more cheap or trading at reasonable valuations.
While there are few stocks that are still quoting at lower price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples and some even below their book values, such stocks still need sound research and analysis before moving forward with them as they may be fraught with the danger of derailed growth prospects based on which markets could have assigned lower valuations to them.

Five Things Obama Didn'tWant You to Hear in His State of the Union

Seeking to put the best possible spin on his message, President Barack Obama took some liberties with the truth in his State of the Union address.

Although the president never actually lied, he repeatedly left out facts that contradict his claims of success.

President Obama hadn't yet left the House chamber when the reality check started. And it didn't take long to find some pretty big the holes in the State of the Union address.

The bending of reality ranged from domestic oil issues to General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) to tire imports.

Here are just five instances in the State of the Union address in which President Obama didn't tell the whole story:

1. What the President Said About the Auto Industry:
   On the day I took office, our auto industry was on the verge of collapse. Some even said we should let it die. With a million jobs at stake, I refused to let that happen. In exchange for help, we demanded responsibility. We got workers and automakers to settle their differences. We got the industry to retool and restructure. Today, General Motors is back on top as the world's number one automaker. Chrysler has grown faster in the U.S. than any major car company. Ford is investing billions in U.S. plants and factories. And together, the entire industry added nearly 160,000 jobs.
   
   What the President Didn't Tell You:
   First of all, President Obama forgot to mention that the GM bailout process started under President George Bush. And Ford Motor Company 's (NYSE: F) success has nothing to do with the government; it never took any government help. Jobs were saved, but the auto industry lost 200,000 workers. Analysts say the industry won't get back to pre-recession job levels until 2015.
   
   President Obama also left out the cost of the bailout to the American taxpayer. Because the Un! ited Sta tes became a major shareholder in GM, the nation still holds 500 million shares of the stock. Given the nation's investment, the U.S. would need to sell those shares at $53 each to break even. GM currently trades at about $25 a share, putting U.S. taxpayers $14 billion in the hole.
   
   
2. What the President Said About Oil:
   Right now, American oil production is the highest that it's been in eight years. That's right - eight years. Not only that - last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past sixteen years.
   
   What the President Didn't Tell You:
   While U.S. oil production is at its highest levels in eight years, production is only incrementally higher than it was in 2003. And higher production is not, as the president implied, responsible for the nation's reduced reliance on foreign oil. That resulted from years of declining consumption - a trend that started in 2006, two years before President Obama was elected. He also forgot to mention that the price of gasoline has skyrocketed 83% during his term, from $1.79 in January 2009 to $3.28 in December.
   
   
3. What the President Said About Job Growth:
   In the last 22 months, businesses have created more than three million jobs. Last year, they created the most jobs since 2005. American manufacturers are hiring again, creating jobs for the first time since the late 1990s.
   
   What the President Didn't Tell You:
   The jobs picture is not quite as rosy as the president described. Total employment is still 1.7 million lower than it was in January 2009, and 6 million lower than the peak in January 2008. And of course, President Obama did not want to remind Americans that the unemployment rate, though it has dropped to 8.5%, was over 9% for most of his presidency.
   
   
4. What the President Said About Government Regulations:
   ! In fact, I've approved fewer regulations in the first three years of my presidency than my Republican predecessor did in his.
What the President Didn't Tell You: True enough, President Obama approved 613 regulations in his first 33 months in office - 30 fewer than President Bush. But what he didn't say was that the regulations he approved were generally more costly. President Obama approved 129 regulations that will cost more than $100 million, compared to just 90 for President Bush.
5. What the President Said About Chinese Tire Imports:
   Over a thousand Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires.
   
What the President Didn't Tell You: The cause and effect for the increase in U.S. tire manufacturing jobs is unclear. Although a tariff enacted in 2009 did slow imports of Chinese tires, other nations -- such as Mexico, Thailand and Indonesia -- quickly filled the gap. "So far as saving American jobs, it just isn't working," Roy Littlefield of the 6,000 member Tire Industry Association, told The Wall Street Journal. "And it really hurt a lot of people in the industry-smaller businesses that geared up to bring these tires in from China."

Top Stocks To invest - Is the U.S. Economy Destined for Deflation?

With inflation low and the recovery waning, a growing chorus of analysts is beginning to suspect that U.S. policymakers aren't doing enough to head off deflation.

U.S. producer prices fell for a third straight month in June, sliding 0.5%. That follows declines of 0.1% in May and 0.3% in April. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy costs, managed only a 0.1% increase for the month, and is up just 1.1% in the past 12 months. The U.S. Federal Reserve's preferred target for inflation is 2%.

Meanwhile a high rate of unemployment continues to jeopardize the U.S. recovery, and economists fear that a significant drop in economic growth could tip the scales toward a deflationary spiral.

"If you were to look at the balance of risks and what we could do about those risks, the risk from a downside shock I would view as more of a problem than the risk of an upside shock of inflation or the economy overall," Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

"The core inflation rate is right around 1%," he said. "Given the amount of substantial excess capacity that we have in the economy, there is some risk of further disinflation. And I would say the risk of deflation has gone up and is more of a risk than I would like to see at this point."

Rosengren's comments are evidence of a growing divide among members of the Federal Top Stocks To invest - Open Market Committee (FOMC). The Fed, under pressure to pursue an exit strategy, has already taken steps to reign in its balance sheet by abandoning its policy of quantitative easing and ending its bond purchasing program. And most analysts believe Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will stay on the sidelines, barring any economic collapse.

The FOMC said in the minutes of its June meeting that the outlook for the U.S. economy had "softened somewhat," but that it would only consider further stimulus measures "if the out! look wer e to worsen appreciably."

"Fed officials would have to see the economy in a free fall," before resuming bond purchases, Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at Top Stocks To invest - JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) told Top Stocks To invest - Bloomberg. "The economy is not in a free fall. They also see the benefits of additional asset purchases as not that great."

The central bank more than doubled its balance sheet to $2.3 trillion during the financial crisis, as it bought up mortgage bonds and Treasury debt to keep long-term interest rates low. And while those purchases may have helped lower mortgage rates, they did little to broaden credit. Consumer borrowing decreased by $9.1 billion in May after falling by $14.9 billion in April.

However, the Fed's minutes also acknowledged the threat of deflation for the first time in a year.

"Several participants noted that a continuation of lower-than-expected inflation and high unemployment could eventually lead to a downward movement in inflation expectations that would reinforce disinflationary pressure," the minutes read. "By contrast, a few participants noted the possibility that a potentially unsustainable fiscal position and the size of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet could boost inflation expectations and actual inflation over time."

The benchmark Federal Funds rate remains at a historically low range of 0-0.25%. But critics contend that Bernanke could do more to stave off deflation either by resuming purchases of assets or by being more explicit about its intentions to keep interest rates low.

And Rosengren, of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, noted that the central bank currently has more tools at its disposal to combat inflation than it does deflation.

"We have plenty of tools to tighten up if it turns out the economy grows faster and inflation becomes more of a concern. But it is a little uncertain how effective our tools are once the economy gets into a deflationary environment," he told The Journal! . "The experience of Japan is sobering. They've spent a decade and a half dealing with an economy that has had falling prices and despite a variety of monetary and fiscal actions taken are still facing a deflation problem."

Meanwhile, the U.S. economy is trembling under the weight of high unemployment, low consumer spending, and a public and political push for fiscal conservativism. Retail sales fell 0.5% in June after tumbling 1.1% in May, according to the Commerce Department. And the Institute for Supply Management's index of non-manufacturing businesses - which comprise 90% of the economy - fell to a four-month low.

The Fed's minutes revealed the central bank has lowered its economic forecast for U.S. growth to a range of 3.0%-3.5% from 3.2%-3.7%, and openly acknowledged the threat being posed by unemployment. The Fed said the U.S. jobless rate, currently at 9.3%, would remain above 7% for at least the next two years.

"The data over the last couple of months have given pause," Former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Alan Blinder told Bloomberg Television. "Housing has underperformed. The big, big thing that has happened in the last couple of months is a very sharp slowdown in the number of private-sector jobs."

Should such "pessimistic" data be "portents of what's coming, then the Fed needs to be prepared to go back into quantitative easing in a big way," he added.
The federal government should do more to preserve the recovery as well, according to Blinder.

"I think we need a little bit more out of Washington," he said. "There is still room for some more fiscal stimulus. I would like to see it very targeted to jobs creation. That is the real problem we are having now."

Congress last month failed to extend unemployment benefits, leaving some 2 million people without unemployment aid. That figure could grow to 3.3 million by the end of the month if a deal isn't reached.

"We should be concerned about downside risk. I'm c! ertainly in the camp where I'm worried about downside risks and policy needs to be thinking about contingencies," said Rosengren. "Part of central banking is to think about what the risks in both directions are and what the policy response would need to be."
