Top Computer Hardware Companies To Own For 2014

In this video, Joel South describes two things investors in SandRidge need to watch:

Oil production from its Mississippian Lime play. SandRidge sold its Permian Basin assets to fund exploration in the Mississippian Lime and to reduce its debt load -- a gamble, but one that may pay off. Watch particularly for oil production, as initial wells have yielded more natural gas than originally expected. The battle between CEO Tom Ward and the board. Activist investors have forced the COO out of the company and seem intent on pushing Ward out as well. This squabble could be distracting or even expensive.

Investors were startled after SandRidge plummeted when natural gas prices reached 10-year lows, but with the company focusing on growing liquids production, the future looks optimistic. If you are unsure about the future of this emerging oil and gas junior and are looking to find out more about its strengths and weaknesses, then check out The Motley Fool's premium research report detailing SandRidge's game plan and what to expect from the company going forward.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By John Divine]

  Stocks headed into the weekend on a strong note, as all three major indices ended higher and the Dow finished at an all-time closing high. Although Wall Street polished off the week with gains, there wasn't an overwhelming, undeniable sense of bullishness; in fact, just less than 54% of stocks managed to advance. Not included in that 54% were today's three most miserable performers: NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA  ) , Consolidated Edison (NYSE: ED  ) , and Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC  ) , each of which ended near the bottom of the S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC  ) on Friday. The S&P, for its part, tacked on two points, or 0.2%, to end at 1,878.�

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By James E. Brumley]

  All well and good, but for veteran traders, there's something uneasy about the recent swelling of interest in these names... there's too much hype, and not enough substance. Enter another small cap name in the 3D printing race - Makism 3D Corp. (OTCBB:MDDD). It's not throwing any parties for itself, and it's not congratulating itself for achievements that may be a solution to a problem that doesn't actually exist. MDDD is simply on the verge of making a high-quality 3D printer at a very practical price that will appeal to individual consumers as well as businesses.
