Top 10 Heal Care Stocks To Buy Right Now

Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU  ) reported Q1 2013 earnings Friday and -- there's no sugarcoating this -- the news was not good.

Nearly a year into a much-ballyhooed program to right its ship and save its business, the company's still losing money and burning cash like mad. Four months after negotiating a financial lifeline from Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS  ) and Credit Suisse (NYSE: CS  ) -- bankers who, if you ask me, would be just as happy to see Alcatel fail and forfeit its patent portfolio -- the company's just piling more debt atop an already top-heavy debt load.

But enough about the big picture. Let's delve into the specifics. In Q1 2013, Alcatel:

Grew its revenues a bare 0.6% in comparison to Q1 2012, or ... Viewed more pessimistically, saw revenues slide 21.2% sequentially. Experienced gross margin slippage (0.8% worse than in last year's Q1). Reported a $0.19-per-share net loss, versus the $0.15-per-share profit it earned last year.

Operating cash flow at the firm ran negative to the tune of $188 million, while cash flow from operating activities -- which Alcatel defines differently from OCF -- came to negative-$542 million. This is significant, because when you pair this operating cash burn with Alcatel's spending on capital investments, it works out to a total of $694 million in negative free cash flow for the quarter.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By John Maxfield]

  Given the centrality of the housing market to the national economy, the significance of these results can't be overstated. It's worth noting, moreover, that they provide further confirmation of the growing profitability of homebuilders. Yesterday, for example, the nation's largest luxury homebuilder, Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL  ) , released earnings for its fiscal second quarter. Among other things, it notched a 36% improvement in net signed contracts on a year-over-year basis. On the heels of today's news, shares of the company are up 2%.

• [By Ben Levisohn]

  Toll Brothers (TOL) has gained 1.6% to $31.70, KB Home (KBH) has risen 1.4% to $16.67 and Lennar (LEN) has advanced 1.1% to $32.95. The Ryland Group (RYL) has jumped 1.9% to $35.52 and PulteGroup (PHM) is up 0.8% at $16.19.

• [By Sinisa Persich]

  Toll Brothers Inc. (TOL) �has been consolidating its big run from 32.50 through resistance at 35.00 and up to near 37.00 in mid-December, flagging for the last eight weeks, and making higher lows. A move above 37.19 would break the stock out of its current flag formation.

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL  ) will release its quarterly report on Tuesday, and on the whole, investors have seen the homebuilder's stock hold up reasonably well compared to some of its rivals. PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM  ) and Hovnanian (NYSE: HOV  ) have pulled back much more severely so far in 2013, with their shareholders worried about whether the big rebound in home prices will survive higher interest rates or whether another leg down for the housing market could hurt profits one more time.

  They say it's darkest just before dawn. If that's true for stocks - and it usually is - the now may be the time to wade into CytRx Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTR).

• [By Bryan Murphy]

  If you're reading this, then odds are you already know that small caps WidePoint Corporation (NYSEMKT:WYY), CytRx Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTR), and Elephant Talk Communications Corp. (NYSEMKT:ETAK) are among the recent big winners from the small cap stock realm. ETAK is up 100% since the end of October, largely spurred by encouraging numbers in its third-quarter results. CYTR shares have rallied more than 150% in just the past three days on the heels of an announcement that a cancer drug the biotech company is developing has shown wonderful Phase 2 results. And, WYY has advanced 93% over the past month or so, thanks to Q3's earnings announcement, though the trading public - and then the media - certainly took the ball and ran with it.

The average MLP closed-end fund listed trades at a 4.9 percent discount, which is perhaps reasonable given the loss of certain tax advantages and the fact that management fees will eat into returns.
