If Obama Loses…The Single Best Tech Stock to Buy In 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 2, 2012 -- Raleigh, N. C. In October of 2008, I was asked to participate in a national stock market contest sponsored by The Stock Advisors, an online investment newsletter. The contest involved picking the best single stock if Obama won the election.

I picked Ingersoll-Rand (IR), if Obama won, not because I thought that there were millions and billions of “shovel-ready” jobs awaiting, but more because I liked the company on its fundamentals and technology innovation and anticipated that it would do well with Obama’s talk of increased infrastructure spending. http://bit.ly/uYHRLM

If Obama Loses…The Single Best Tech Stock to Buy In 2012

The IR stock was trading around $18 per share in November of 2008 and rose to around $50 per share in May of 2011. The stock price has eased on down the highway since then, and I hope that all the investors who followed my advice in October of 2008 sold out at the high mark in May of 2011.

Here is a graph from Yahoo Finance that shows the last five years of prices of IR stock.



Turn about is fair play, so I thought I should offer an early recommendation on the single best stock if Obama loses in 2012.

Eager beaver investors may soon start anticipating an Obama loss, and start piling into this stock pushing the price up before the election, so it is a good idea to begin following the stock price today in order to be ready if it starts a rapid move up.

Badger Meter, Inc. (BMI) engages in manufacturing and marketing liquid flow measurement and control technology products worldwide. Its products are used in various applications, including water, oil, and chemicals. The company offers water meters, and related technologies and services for use by water utilities, as well as for other water-based purposes, including irrigation, water reclamation, and industrial process applications. It also provides other meters, and related technologies and services for measuring various fluids in industries, such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical production, petroleum, heating, and ventilating and air conditioning; and measuring and dispensing automotive fluids. In addition, the company sells registers and radios to upgrade existing meters in the field, as well as radio technology to natural gas utilities for installation on their gas meters.

BMI is a Technology Stock Advisor A-rated stock, that means it should not be as risky and volatile as the TSA B or C rated stocks. It has a current dividend yield of 2%, and the target price to buy at or below, is $30 per share.

Here is a Yahoo Finance graph showing the last five years of stock price history for BMI.



My logic for this stock selection is similar to my selection of IR in 2008. BMI is very strong financially and has great product technology innovation.

Plus, all investors must have some linkage or connection to the global economy, whether they work for one of the big companies, or sell goods and services in foreign countries. One way for average, ordinary citizens to have a connection to the global economy is to own shares of companies that are global in scope, and BMI fits that criteria.

In this case, however, if Obama loses, there is going to be a lot of OOUK and smelly stuff that will need to be pumped out of Washington, D. C. and, just like the case of infrastructure for Ingersoll-Rand in 2008, BMI has the right stuff to do the job… under a new President.

I will release my year-end performance review of my best 10 technology stocks for 2011, with my comparison to what I consider to be the top 5 technology stock advisors in the country next week.

In the second week of January 2012, I will release my top 10 technology stocks for 2012.
