Hurricane season is here so I think it is important to do the right thing and put together a list necessities to weather the storm. This includes an emergency kit with a three day supply of drinking water and food that you don't have to refrigerate or cook; first aid supplies; a portable NOAA weather radio; some basic tools; a flashlight; clothing; blanket; important documents; a portable cage for the poison dart frogs; and a good list of hurricane stocks so that you can profit while the storm wreaks havoc on your dwelling.
There are countless trading sites that put out a list of stocks that could spike when tropical depressions get serious. I have waited a while longer since, luckily, the weather on the west side of Africa has been quite docile. But, in the name of gamesmanship, here is what I consider to be safe hurricane 'plays' during August and September. I say safe because the list, for the most part, eliminates any low priced lottery ticket type penny stocks. Most of these stocks also have a decent upward trend over the years during this time of year.
HRC, Hil-Rom Holding, Medical technologies and related services. Already kicking into high gear but plenty of upward momentum.
MTRX, Matrix Service, Construction services. Good volatility over the last several months.
BRS, Bristow Group, Helicopter services to offshore energy industry.
CHCI, Comstock Homebuilding. Weak volume but I like the parabolic looking six month chart. These can spike quickly in price and volume.
HD, Home Depot. We all know this one so I'll bite and put it on the list. A good play anyway over the next few months.
Timing is everything, and by the looks of the hurricane chart below, we are approaching the eye of the storm...at least on paper.
