Top Gas Utility Stocks To Buy Right Now

MOSCOW (AP) ��Russia's most powerful businessmen waited for over an hour Thursday to hear from President Vladimir Putin, whose decision to annex the Crimean Peninsula has cost their companies hundreds of millions of dollars in market value.

When Putin finally showed up, he spoke to them for five minutes ��and gave them no reassurances that they or their companies will get any respite from the uncertainty created by the takeover of a piece of land of little value to them beyond national pride.

Russia's economy has been pinched by the crisis over Crimea, even before the new sanctions the U.S. and Europe announced Thursday.

Could this signal a new era of austerity that will ultimately see Potash,�Agrium (NYSE: AGU  ) , and Mosaic (NYSE: MOS  ) �end up whacking their payouts, as well?

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Bryan Murphy]

    The hot and cold cycle for Zalicus Inc. (NASDAQ:ZLCS) continues to repeat itself. The fourth such turn of that wheel looks like it's getting ready to begin, and if this is one anything like the last three, ZLCS is due for a rally of anywhere between 25% to 50%. Traders who hop on that wave shouldn't tarry, however, because if the budding rally is anything like the last three, it's still only going to lead to a pullback about half the size of the gain. Still, a sizeable double-digit gain isn't bad for a few days' worth of work.

    One biopharmaceutical player that's quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade is Zalicus (ZLCS), which discovers and develops treatments for patients suffering from pain and immuno-inflammatory diseases. This stock has been destroyed by the bears over the last three months, with shares down by a whopping 81%.

    If you take a look at the chart for Zalicus, you'll notice that this stock gapped down sharply lower during last November, with shares falling from $4.83 to under $1.50 a share with heavy downside volume. Following that gap down, shares of ZLCS have tag a new low of 88 cents per share. This stock has now started to trend sideways over the last few weeks, with shares moving between $1.05 on the downside and $1.43 on the upside. Shares of ZLCS are spiking sharply higher today and taking out some near-term overhead resistance at $1.22 a share. That move is quickly pushing this stock within range of triggering a major breakout trade.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ZLCS if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $1.22 to $1.43 a share, and then once it clears its gap down day high of $1.45 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 1.70 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then ZLCS will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from last November that started at $4.83 a share. This stock could easily hit $2 to $2.50 a share if it gets into that gap with volume.

    Traders can look to buy ZLCS off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right around some key near-term support at $1.05 a share. One can also buy ZLCS off strength once it starts to take out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
