I believe the SMART stocks should be cornerstones of a portfolio exposed to the rising digital economy we live in. An economy driven by data, digital payments, targeted advertising, streaming and new social interaction at your fingertips.

This correction isn't likely to become a bear market but, rather, it's probably a great time for long-term investors to load up on great companies at bargain prices and identify 3 of my highest conviction buys, which I've been purchasing with glee over the past few weeks.

Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos is...in first place in terms of global net worth (at around $167.7 billion)…[which is] over 2 million times the net worth of the median US household. That is twice as high as during the so-called 'Gilded Age'.

While 'average joe' is busily loading up on hyper-valued tech in his 401k like never before, insiders at the FANG stocks have been puking their own shares at a record pace this year.

Even in the current climate, savvy investors can still find promising stocks with big growth prospects...The stocks covered below all boast sales growth of over 20%, based on the Street’s 2019 estimates. These are the stocks to turn to if GDP growth begins to slow.

Earnings for companies in the S&P 500 are expected to grow 17.3% in the first quarter, with sales up 10%. These rates represent the fastest pace of growth since the first quarter of 2011. In this article we have identified only 5 stocks that have a ‘Strong Buy’ and ‘Moderate Buy’ analyst consensus rating and notable upside from current prices.

Investors have become way too complacent as the broader markets trade near their highs. However, as the markets really start to fall, complacency will eventually turn to panic. According to my analysis, the next critical level for the Dow Jones Index is 19,000.

Below is a pretty telling chart on how Amazon (AMZN) has affected the rest of the retail market and, any way you look at it, the numbers are pretty insane. As you can see, Amazon has completely left everyone else in the dust. Amazon is eating the retail world.

We live in a modern world of acronyms and buzzwords, and the financial industry is certainly no exception. In fact, it may be one of the worst culprits, what with FANG, ZIRP, TINA, BREXIT, QUITALY, BRIC, etc. all entering the lexicon over the last few years...[and] now the new eye-catching acronym to watch, according to Tom Lee of Fundstrat, is CRAP – Computers, Resources, American Banks, and Phone Carriers – which are all levered to the investment recovery, inflation, and deregulation expected over the next year...

If you believe these stocks are going to continue to go to P/E multiples of infinity (like the FANG stocks) or feel that other stocks in the market are undervalued based on economic and geopolitical conditions perhaps you should turn your money over to someone more qualified to manage it.
