what is up I'm Jason with the honest finance Channel and today I want to talk
about the three best stocks to buy an April of 2018 now go ahead and watch
this video for entertainment purposes only and make sure to do your own
research before you do any type of investing it'll always carry risk so
just make the best choices you can and hold on for the long term now this video
is going to be pretty quick because you already know who these three companies
are but I'll give you some basic stats about these companies so that you can
make your own assessment as to whether or not you want to look any further into
these different stocks now the stats I'm going to be showing here are from a very
shallow perspective so just make sure to do your own research before you do any
type of investing in these stocks or any stocks in general now first up is Wells
Fargo Bank and if you live out west you definitely know who these guys are
Wells Fargo is 100 percent in a big bank sector and their shares are actually
looking pretty affordable right now because of a big dip that they've
recently had over the last three months currently the shares are about twenty
percent cheaper than they were just three months ago so now is the right
time to buy if you're looking into Wells Fargo also the feds have been raising
rates which sucks for consumers but it'll make the banks more profitable and
that's just because they'll be making more money from our loans Wells Fargo's
ticker symbol is WFC and their current share price is about 52 bucks and that's
a lot better than the $65 it was just three months ago they currently pay out
a dividend yield of almost three percent which is really good for a bank and
their current p/e ratio is about a 13 which is still pretty good for the
banking sector but their forward p/e ratio is looking to be about a 10 so
that's good because their projected earnings look like they're going up now
over the last 12 months they've dropped about one and a half percent but over
the last five years they've actually gone up 63 percent now that definitely
didn't outperform the S&P 500 but I think things are gonna be looking really
good for Wells Fargo over the next five years I've actually banked with them for
about 12 years now and I've seen all the changes that they've gone through
they've got about every single feature you could ever imagine on their website
and their rates are really competitive when it comes to all their different
types of loans so overall Wells Fargo is definitely a
stock to consider right now now my next stock take is Walmart because they're
actually in a little bit of a dip too Walmart's ticker symbol is WMT and their
current share prices going for about $88 Walmart's got a
current dividend yield of about 2.4 percent which is really good now their
current p/e ratio is about a 27 which I'm not in love with but their forward
p/e ratio is looking to be about a 17 so that's really good in my opinion
Walmart's last 12 months did really well with about 29 percent in gains but the
last 60 months have been really lousy at gaining only 33 percent now I know that
33 percent isn't a good thing at all but Walmart's online presence has really
been competing hard gedcom is now a part of the Walmart family and their business
model is perfect for today's online consumers and seriously check out jet
comm if you haven't already because I think they still give you 15% off your
first three orders it's a really good website I'm confident that Walmart is
really gonna push forward over the long term so I would consider buying in right
now while it's low if you consider going with someone like Walmart last on my
list is Southwest Airlines now they've got my attention right now because
they're currently in the dip as well but they're also expanding their domestic
flights like crazy this fall and so they're looking to have a much better
profitability and just looking at the basic stats things are looking pretty
good from the outside Southwest Airlines ticker symbol is lu v and their current
share price is about 58 bucks now they do pay a dividend but it's only about 1%
but at least that's something their current p/e ratio is about a 10
and their forward p/e ratio is also going to be a 10 so their projected
revenue isn't really gonna go up much soon but being stable is a lot better
than heading downhill now over the last 12 months Southwest Airlines has grown
about 12% but over the last five years they've grown 346 percent which is way
too high now I'll take 350 percent any day of the week but that's not gonna
happen very often so with all of this information it actually looks like the
price per share is a really good value for Southwest Airlines so now is the
right time to buy if you're looking into them now I know that things have been
pretty volatile in the stock market lately but that's actually okay if
you're looking into buying into any of these really good companies because now
their shares are on sale now these are my three stock picks this month so go
ahead and do your research if you're interested in learning more about these
different companies once again I'm Jason with the honest finance channel feel
