Hopefully, 2021 will remove some of the uncertainties that the virus has wrought, and the economy can begin to speed up its recovery. And while the markets have done very well this year, there are still pockets that are undervalued, many of which are represented in our pages this month.

In this season of good cheer, we have a lot to be thankful for: 1) It looks like we can finally put this election to rest (thank goodness!); 2) the first coronavirus vaccine is being distributed across the country; and 3) hopefully, we’ll soon have another stimulus package.
Despite all the challenges, the markets have held up very well, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has surpassed the big 30,000 mark several times in the last few weeks.
Unemployment continues to decline, with the rate dropping to 6.7% in November. Consumers are shopping for the holidays, with online Thanksgiving sales up 21.5%, to $5.1 billion. I know my finger is sure hitting the ‘buy’ button a lot more this year!

We begin with our Spotlight Stock, the largest water company in Brazil, which is expanding to deliver services outside its borders. In my Feature article, I further explore that growth—as well as the rising need—for potable water in Latin America.
Moving on to Growth, our contributors have a number of ideas here, including companies in the e-commerce, ride sharing/food delivery, infrastructure, industrial equipment, and rent-to-own industries. Our Growth & Income picks include an alcoholic beverage manufacturer as well as a gas/chemical company.
In Healthcare, you’ll find stocks from the testing medial technology, biopharma, and cannabis sectors. Technology has been the big winner of 2021, and here we offer ideas in the printing equipment, audio & video, software, and electronics industries.
Our Resources & Utilities section has a couple of gold and utility companies. In High Yield and Preferred Stocks, you’ll find a host of companies offering better-than-market yields, from the banking, energy, franchising, shipping, and natural gas sectors.
This month, we include two Real Estate Investment Trusts, as well as a company offering a nice Special Dividend opportunity. Make sure you check the dates, so that you don’t miss out on this chance for extra cash flow.
Lastly, our Funds & ETFs are well-diversified, with ideas in the midcap value, emerging small caps, low-priced stocks, materials, and energy industries.
I hope you and your families enjoy a wonderful and safe holiday. I’m sticking close to home this year, but hope to enjoy some traveling in 2021. As always, please don’t hesitate to email me with your feedback and questions. My address is nancy@financialfreedomfederation.com.
