Hot Sliver Stocks To Watch Right Now

As an investor you're likely keenly aware of the fact that plunking down your hard-earned money for a sliver of ownership in a company involves risk. The amount you're investing for your share of the company could decrease in value significantly, and a worst case scenario could lead to your investment becoming worthless. That's why it's so important to consider what could go wrong ahead of time so you have an idea of what to watch out for as you hold your position.

That's why I love the quote by Carl Richards in which he reminds us that "[risk] is what's left over when you think you've thought of everything else." All too often we only look at what could go right and typically don't dig too deeply into what could go wrong. Instead of being reminded that the real risk is something we are not considering, all too often we are blindsided by a risk that was hiding in plain sight.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Bryan Perry]

  CoreSite Realty Corp. (NYSE: COR) is structured as a REIT and is an owner, developer and operator of tactically positioned real estate, intended to meet the strict needs of the information technology community. It is one of the world’s biggest carrier-neutral suppliers of wholesale data center and co-location services, offering private data centers and suites, cage-to-cabinet co-location and interconnection opportunities.

  COR went public in the fall of 2010. Since the company is structured as a REIT, it must pay out at least 90% of net income to shareholders who, in turn, must pay ordinary income taxes on dividend income unless the shares are held in a retirement account.

  The two Wall Street analysts that cover the stock have the company earning a consensus 98 cents for 2011. That’s a 24% year-over-year growth rate in an economy forecast to grow by 2%. As such, if the company is set to pay out 90% of earnings, then we should see a forward dividend yield of around 6% for 2011, assuming earnings per share of roughly $1. COR currently yields 3.57%. Buy it up to $16.
