| These Pumps Indicate Stocks Will Move Higher
We are excited about the outlook for equities of all sizes and talked about this recently. Since then, our perspective has only been bolstered by a series of events and news announcements. These include third-quarter financial results, mostly in line and better than expected, which have been happily welcomed by investors. While the list below highlights reasons why stocks should continue their march upward, there is always risk and stocks do not trade exclusively in one direction. With that in mind, here are three big-picture reasons why we believe not being invested in stocks could be harmful to your wealth.
1. The Pump Continues
There appears to be no end in sight to the monetary and fiscal policy by the United States Federal Reserve. Close market watchers have not forgotten how stocks were whipsawed multiple times from June to August on tapering fears that could harm the liquidity the Fed has maintained in the marketplace, along with its debt buying. While this strategy is not sustainable in perpetuity, it can mask the other economic problems and perhaps even keep some of them at bay while we wait for an upturn in corporate profitability to pick up a little slack.

The Next Generation of Internet TV
Unless you have been living under a rock the past few years, you have heard of Netflix (NASDAQ - NFLX) and Hulu. The huge subscriber and revenue growth generated by their online content-streaming activities are fueled by the convergence of interesting drivers in consumer habits that is changing the way we watch television programming. For example, industry experts from Forrester to Pew to Mequoda to eMarketer have issued industry reports demonstrating that consumers prefer to view online media and content on mobile devices such as tablets and cell phones.
This dovetails with the subscriber usage gains that Hulu and Netflix have had from mobile device users. Moreover, just like many consumers are removing their landlines, a number of households are discontinuing their cable TV or satellite TV service in favor of viewing programming that is most interesting to them on their own devices, and for cheaper price. The technology that is used to broadcast this type of programming is referred to as over-the-top, or OTT. eMarketer predicts this market will grow from $3.8B in 2010 to $28.9B in 2017 driven through migration away from cable and satellite and toward the access and viewing of video programming on multiple, fixed and portable devices, and at cheaper prices.
Netflix is certainly one way to play this exciting trend, but there is actually a low-priced penny stock that could emerge as one of the main players in this Internet TV revolution.
