This business model — which is used by scores of companies, includingPampered Chef, which is owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), Tupperware (TUP) and Mary Kay Cosmetics — is legal provided that actual products are sold.

Top 10 US Companies To Buy Right Now

If 76 million boomers are retiring over the coming two decades — one every six seconds — then surely Merrill Lynch, because of its size, will be helping more of them than other firms.

Is there a uniquely Merrill approach to this demographic challenge?

Indeed, there is and David Laster, the firm’s director of investment analytics, laid out that case Tuesday in a presentation at the Retirement Income Industry Association (RIIA) spring conference in Chicago.

Known for, among other things, a seminal paper published in the late ’90s highlighting the value of global diversification, at a time when foreign investing was still too exotic for most U.S. stock portfolios, Laster is Merrill’s thought leader on the how-to of investing.

And the how-to as regards retirement success is a unique challenge because of the profound differences between accumulation and decumulation.

The former involves the largely straightforward tasks of saving and investing, whereas the latter involves living off of that savings, a tricky balancing act given profound unknowables such as one’s date of death.

Top 5 Logistics Companies For 2015: Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP)

Rydex S&P Equal Weight ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible the performance of the S&P Equal Weight Index (the Index). The Index is the equal-weighted version of the S&P 500, which is a measure of the large-capitalization stocks of 500 major corporations selected by Standard & Poor��, a division of The McGraw Hill Company, Inc., for their market size, liquidity and industry group representation. The Index is developed by Standard & Poor's in collaboration with Rydex Investments. The Index utilizes quarterly rebalancing to maintain its equal-weight stance.

The Fund uses a passive management strategy to track the performance of the Index. The Fund invests in substantially all of the securities in the Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Index. The Fund's investment advisor is Rydex Investments.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal-Weight (NYSEMKT: RSP  )
  Equal-weight ETFs own the same stocks as regular S&P 500-tracking funds, but with a catch: rather than weighting the amount it invests in each stock by market capitalization, the Guggenheim ETF has roughly equal dollar amounts invested in all 500 of its holdings. Lately, that has produced better returns than the overall S&P, because of weak performance from the S&P's largest companies. With an expense ratio of 0.40%, the Guggenheim offering isn't the cheapest ETF available, but if you like simplicity and think that smaller companies are poised to outperform their larger counterparts, then the equal-weight ETF may be the right pick for you.

• [By Thomas Sobon]

  (3) From the menu on top, compare your stock with the S&P Equal Weight Index (RSP) or the S&P Industrial index (SPY). That will show you how your stock has been performing in comparison to the overall market. You want your stock to be a leader in the market and not a laggard.

• [By John Waggoner]

  A fund that's weighted by market cap tends to do best in a concentrated market ��that is, when one stock or group of stocks excels. The Guggenheim Investments S&P 500 Equal Weighted ETF (ticker: RSP) has gained 24.3% this year, outpacing the cap-weighted S&P 500. The main reason could well be Apple, which has lost 6.8% this year, including reinvested dividends.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Seth Jayson]

  When judging a company's prospects, how quickly it turns cash outflows into cash inflows can be just as important as how much profit it's booking in the accounting fantasy world we call "earnings." This is one of the first metrics I check when I'm hunting for the market's best stocks. Today, we'll see how it applies to Heritage-Crystal Clean (Nasdaq: HCCI  ) .

In January 2014, the Company announced the closing of the acquisition of Rockgate by Denison Mines Corp. Advisors' Opinion:

• [By John Udovich]

  Since the start of the week, small cap nuclear fuel stock USEC Inc (NYSE: USU) more than doubled for investors, something that has not happened for investors in uranium stocks like Uranium Resources, Inc (NASDAQ: URRE), Denison Mines Corp (NYSEMKT: DNN), Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSEMKT: URG) and Uranerz Energy Corp (NYSEMKT: URZ). To recap: USEC Inc closed at the $6 level on Friday, but then it surged to the $15 level on Monday only to open at the $10 level on Tuesday when it ultimately closed at $12.46. So what in the world is going on with USEC Inc and is it time to revisit nuclear fuel and uranium stocks?

• [By John Udovich]

  Small cap nuclear fuel stock USEC Inc (NYSE: USU) is up some 300% this week���meaning its worth taking a closer look at the company along with the performance potential uranium or nuclear stock peers Uranium Resources, Inc (NASDAQ: URRE), Denison Mines Corp (NYSEMKT: DNN), Ur-Energy Inc (NYSEMKT: URG) and Uranerz Energy Corp (NYSEMKT: URZ).

• [By The Energy Report]

  DS: It's certainly good news. Elimination of the non-resident ownership policy [NROP] will permit European Union-based companies to own a majority stake in an operating uranium mine. That opens the door for companies like Rio Tinto Plc (RIO) and AREVA SA (ARVCF) [AREVA:EPA] to push forward with development of existing deposits or to buy more uranium assets in Canada. Accordingly, it increases takeover potential for companies like Denison Mines Corp. (DNN).

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Peter Graham]

  Small cap stocks Metrospaces Inc (OTCMKTS: MSPC), LEEP INC (OTCMKTS: LPPI) and Pioneer Exploration Inc (OTCMKTS: PIEX) have been getting some attention lately due to either promotions or share trading activity. Unfortunately, there are still unanswered questions about these three dark horse stocks which make it more difficult for investors and traders alike to evaluate. With that in mind, lets try to shine the light on what we know about all three small caps:

• [By Peter Graham]

  Whats the Catch With New China Global Inc? According to various disclosures, transactions of $7.5k, $10k, $20k, $30k, $60k and $140k have or will occur to mention New China Global Inc in various investment newsletters. Just this morning, New China Global Inc announced the expansion of language services to ten different language options (including Mandarin, German, Spanish, Japanese, French, Italian, Cantonese, Dutch, Russian and English) that will be available on the company website while last Wednesday, the company gave a corporate update that noted the recent hiring of a new Singapore based Marketing Director who is focused on a marketing campaign targeting Asian University students. The update noted that New China Global continues talks to develop partnerships with several high profile Universities in China and is in discussions to build partnerships with Universities in Tokyo and Singapore as part of a Corporate Strategic Plan. A couple of small cap resea rch firms have also announced coverage of the stock. However, a look at the most recent financials for New China Global Inc reveals not much of an income statement or balance sheet meaning it must be another reverse merger or was previously just a shell company. So until some financials appear, its investor beware.

  Metrospaces Inc (OTCMKTS: MSPC) Says One of Its Projects is Almost Done

  Small cap Metrospaces is a real estate investment and Development Company which acquires land, designs, builds, and deve! lops then! resells condominiums and Luxury High-End Hotels, principally in urban areas of Latin America.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Michael Lewis]

  DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH  ) has lots and lots of cash -- more than $7 billion following this week's debt issuance. As opposed to other cash hoarders, there's no secret as to what the company wants to spend it on. DISH is knee-deep in the race for spectrum and wireless buildout to launch its much-anticipated 4G network. The question is, where will the company make its purchase? As Sprint  (NYSE: S  ) and Clearwire  (NASDAQ: CLWR  ) continue to cozy up, the satellite-television provider will likely have to look elsewhere for its spectrum bundle. Where will the billions go?

• [By Michael Lewis]

  While the majority of news regarding the M&A world revolves around the Dell takeover, one long, drawn-out battle continues for wireless company Clearwire (NASDAQ: CLWR  ) . Telecom giant Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S  ) is the majority shareholder of the beleaguered, spectrum-rich company, and the leading prospect for t! he acquisition. But with competing (and more appealing) offers from other suitors and a minority shareholder suit on the rise, it looks like this battle isn't anywhere near over. What should investors expect for the future of Clearwire?

Top 5 Long Term Stocks To Watch For 2015: African Barrick Gold PLC (ABGLF)

African Barrick Gold plc (ABG) is a United Kingdom-based company. The Company is a gold producer in Tanzania. Its operations include exploration and development to mine construction and operation. ABG has resources of approximately 32 million ounces of gold. The Company has three producing mines, all located in northwest Tanzania: Bulyanhulu, Buzwagi and North Mara, and several exploration projects at various stages of development in Tanzania and Kenya. Bulyanhulu is an underground gold mine. Buzwagi is an open pit gold mine. North Mara is an open pit gold mine consisting of three open pit deposits. Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Ben Levisohn]

  Over the last several months, ABX has been divesting non-core assets. Starting in mid-2013, the company sold its non-core energy assets. Since then, focus has been on selling Australian gold assets. As we have stated previously, we believe the company will continue to sell noncore assets, focusing primarily on its interests in North America. Barrick had been previously seeking a suitor for its 74% interest in African Barrick (ABGLF); to date, the company remains unsuccessful in disposition of the ABG interest. In addition, we would not be averse to seeing Barrick sell off some or all of its copper assets, if they can get the right price.

  Among holdings in which Fisher Asset Management increased its stake were AbbVie�and PetSmart. Fisher reduced its stake in lots of companies, including Banco Santander (NYSE: SAN  ) and National Oilwell Varco (NYSE: NOV  ) . Banco Santander yields 9.4%, beaten down by Europe's woes. Unappreciated by many, though, is its heavy involvement in Latin America, where it benefits from faster growth rates. The bank's most recent quarter improved on results from the previous quarter. Its stock valuation could be more compelling, but it does offer a huge yield.

TSR, Inc. was founded in 1969 and is based in Hauppauge, New York.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Geoff Gannon] ay.

  TSRI is typical of the kinds of net-nets you find on this list. The number of net-nets with five straight years of profits is about a dozen stocks. TSR is one of them. It is controlled by the founder. He formed the company 42 years ago. And he still owns 46% of the company today.

  Other companies on the list of profitable net-nets also involve one man (or one family) control. These include:

  路 Micropac (MPAD)

  路 ADDvantage Technologies (AEY)

  路 Solitron Devices (SODI)

  路 OPT-Sciences (OPST)

  Micropac

  Micropac is 76% owned by Heinz-Werner Hempel. He�� a German businessman. You can see the German company he founded here. He�� had control of Micropac for a long-time. I don�� have an exact number in front of me. But I would guess it�� been something like 25 years.

  ADDvantage

  ADDvantage Technologies is controlled by the Chymiak brothers. See the company�� April 4 press release explaining their decision to turn over the CEO position to an outsider. Regardless, the Chymiaks still control 47% of the company. Ken Chymiak is now chairman. And David Chymiak is still a director and now the company�� chief technology officer. Clearly, it�� still their company.

  By the way, the name ADDvantage Technologies has nothing to do with the Chymiaks. Today�� AEY really traces its roots to a private company called Tulsat. The Chymiak brothers acquired that company about 27 years ago. So, effectively, when you buy shares of AEY you are buying into a 27-year-old family-controlled company.

  That�� pretty typical in the world of net-nets.

  Solitron

  Solitron Devices is 29% owned by Shevach Saraf. He has been the CEO for 20 years. The post-bankruptcy Solitron has never known another CEO. Before the bankruptcy, Solitron was a much bigger, much different company. So even though we are not talking about the founder here ��and even though 70% of the company�� shares are not held by the CEO

It's weighed down with considerable debt, and is shifting its business focus, favoring business customers more.

  Solar stocks have not exactly given buy and hold investors a smooth ride, but small cap GT Advanced Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: GTAT) could be an interesting materials play on the solar sector – meaning its worth taking a closer look at the stock along with potential peers like Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc (NASDAQ: ASTI) and STR Holdings, Inc (NYSE: STRI) plus solar ETF Guggenheim Solar ETF (NYSEARCA: TAN).

Top 10 European Stocks To Invest In 2014

Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO  ) reported earnings before the opening bell rang on Tuesday. Here's what you need to know about the company's results, and why the shares were down immediately after the earnings announcements.

Source: Wikimedia Commons.

Unsavory results
The cola giant delivered earnings of $0.63 per share for the second quarter, which was in line with Wall Street expectations. However, revenue fell to $12.75 billion, shy of the $12.95 billion analysts expected. Global sales volume rose 1% for the quarter, despite significant weakness in North American and European soda sales. Coke shares were down more than 2% after the company issued its quarterly results Tuesday morning.

Under the weather
Even though U.S. soda volumes have fallen for roughly a decade, Coca-Cola attributed the fizzled-out consumption in both domestic and international markets to unusually cool and wet weather. Volume growth in Vietnam, which rose a robust 28%. But, disappointingly, India grew at a mere 1%. Consumption was flat in several key emerging markets, notably China and Brazil. Volumes declined 1% for the second quarter in North America, while European volumes fell a gloomy 4%.�Sometimes, even being one of the globe's most diversified companies isn't enough to ward off a dreary sales quarter.

  On Dec. 5, IOC issued an extensive press release trumpeting the sale to Total (NYSE: TOT) of an interest in its Papua New Guinea exploration. The IOC press release spun the sale as potentially worth billions to IOC, which has a current market cap of $2.6 billion. Indeed, that deal sounds like it could really make a huge impact on IOC, until you read the press release issued by Total. Total has indicated that its engineers will need to evaluate the prospects before any decision is made on payments. So the deal could be worth zero to IOC, and based on the company’s poor track record over the years in actually booking reserves many investors decided it was time to exit when it became clear that IOC’s spin on the deal was much different than Total’s. Shares fell 21 percent in pre-market trading on the day of the announcement, and are now down about 40 percent since the Total news hit.

  So, what does this mean for AMX stock and for its largest single competitor in Latin America, Spain��Telefonica (TEF)?

  To start, this will, by default, massively diversify AMX�� revenue stream globally. Though AMX is the number-one or number-two mobile provider in nearly every Latin American country, its home market of Mexico is by far its biggest. Mexico currently accounts for about a third of sales and nearly half of profits. The new AMX will be a pan-Latin-American telecom giant based in Mexico rather than a Mexican telecom giant with operations in Central and South America.

  Is Europe back?
  Certainly, some of the enthusiasm about Europe has to do with the stabilization of economic prospects throughout the region. Germany, France, and Spain are still reporting sluggish GDP numbers, but some early signs suggest that the recession could already have hit bottom in many countries in Europe. Perhaps more importantly, just the fact that conditions on the continent haven't gotten markedly worse has seemed to bolster investor confidence. In particular, Spain's recovery has given investors in Telefonica (NYSE: TEF  ) new hope that efforts to keep its telecom business strong not just in Europe but in Latin America as well could bear fruit.

• [By Robert Rapier]

  Investors initially shaved about $5 billion off of Anadarko’s market cap, but about $2 billion of that was restored in subsequent trading sessions. Were it not for the environmental liability, Anadarko would be near the top of my list of E&Ps to own. But I have a tendency to avoid companies with large liabilities hanging over them. That’s why to this day I still won’t recommend BP (NYSE: BP), even though by many metrics it’s quite undervalued.

Top 10 China Companies To Own In Right Now

Top 10 China Companies To Own In Right Now: BHP Billiton Limited(BHP)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jayson Derrick]

  BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) said that it would consider a de-merger of itself by spinning off various mining assets into new entities to simplify its portfolio. Shares gained 1.83 percent, closing at $72.45.

• [By Paul Ausick]

  Rio Tinto’s largest project, the Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine in Mongolia, has been delayed by negotiations between the government and the company that are getting approximately nowhere. Turquoise Hill owns leases adjacent to the copper and gold property and leases on a nearby coal mine through its SouthGobi Resources subsidiary. Turquoise Hill, formerly known as Ivanhoe Mines, essentiall! y discovered the resource after acquiring the exploration rights from BHP Billiton PLC (NYSE: BHP) in 2000. Rio Tinto bought in in 2006.

• [By Jonas Elmerraji]

  You don't have to be an expert technical analyst to figure out what's going on in shares of mining and petroleum giant BHP Billiton (BHP) -- the setup in the $112 billion stock is about as basic as it gets. BHP has been bouncing higher in an uptrend since July, hitting a floor on a trendline support level all the way up to today's close.

  The channel in BHP is important because it provides us with a high-probability range for shares to stay within both on the upside and the downside. More important, trendline support has halted shares' pullbacks perfectly on the last four touches of the level – now we're hitting touch number-five.

  A bounce in today's session is the buy signal in BHP.

  Buying off a support bounce makes sense for two big reasons: It's the spot where shares have the furthest to move up before they hit resistance, and it's the spot where the risk is the least (because shares have the least room to move lower before you know you're wrong). Remember, all trend lines do eventually break, but by actually waiting for the bounce to happen first, we're ensuring the BHP Billiton can actually still catch a bid along that line.

  Keep a tight stop in place under the channel if you decide to buy here.

• [By Rich Duprey]

  All of which would be good news for BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP  ) , which reportedly made a substantial copper discovery in western Australia near itsBabel-Nebo nickel-copper deposit. Because of its remote location, however, the site has remained undeveloped for more than a decade and would require a big investment on BHP's part to build up the infrastructure necessary to exploit it.

  Verizon (NYSE: VZ  ) and has been trying to buy Vodafone's (NASDAQ: VOD  ) 45% stake in Verizon Wireless for years, and now might be the time to make a deal. But Vodafone isn't going to give it up cheap and has been reluctant to accept offers less than $130 billion. In the video below, Erin Miller asks Fool contributor Travis Hoium how he thinks this standoff will end.

  Yet a potentially larger deal involving archrival Verizon (NYSE: VZ  ) might actually help AT&T achieve some of its broader strategic goals. A report earlier this month speculated that Verizon and AT&T might get together to buy out British telecom giant Vodafone (NASDAQ: VOD  ) . The massive transaction would involve Verizon taking full control of the Verizon Wireless joint venture, of which Vodafone currently owns 45%. For AT&T, the deal would give it Vodafone's international assets, which represent the company's best chances for growth, given its already dominant position within the U.S. market.
