Here’s our Power Recommendation Portfolio for May 2026

You Can See Our Current Power Recommendations For May 2026 Here.

Understanding our recommendations: Power Buy—These stocks are our top choices for new buying now. We feel each currently offers the best combination of fundamentals (earnings, sales, cash flow and so on) plus external factors (industry trends and the current share price) to give it a chance of above-average gains. Buy—high-quality stocks with strong growth prospects. However, they are likely to grow at a slower rate than our Power Buys. Sell—these are stocks that no longer inspire our confidence. As Power Growth Investor focuses on maximizing profits for aggressive investors, we prefer to sell poorly performing stocks instead of holding them and waiting for a rebound.

Two Canadian gold miners to pick up now

Whatever the outlook for gold is going forward—it has now retreated from its all-time highs earlier this year—we think top-quality gold stocks like Alamos and Lundin remain buys. That’s in part because of their prospects for increased production and cash flow—regardless of the spot price for precious metals.

ALAMOS GOLD INC., $65.71, is a buy. The gold miner (Toronto symbol AGI; TSINetwork Rating: Average) (www.alamosgold.com; Shares outstanding: 420.0 million; Market cap: $27.6 billion; Dividend yield: 0.2%) acquired Argonaut Gold (symbol AR on Toronto) in 2024, along with its troubled Magino mine in northern Ontario. All told, it paid $325 million U.S. in shares and in the process became Canada’s third-largest gold producer.

Spinoffs

One of the ways a company can try to unlock its own hidden value is by creating a separate company out of a corporate subsidiary. The parent company can either sell stock in the new company to the public, or spin it off—hand the stock out to its own investors.

Dividend Stocks

Dividend stocks make cash payouts that serve as a way for companies to share the wealth they’ve accumulated. These payouts are drawn from earnings and cash flow and paid to the shareholders of the company. Typically, these dividends are paid quarterly, although they may be paid annually or even monthly as well.

ETFs

What are ETFs?

ETF is an acronym for exchange traded fund. These exchange traded funds are used to track indexes as closely as possible, since investors cannot actually buy an index outright.

Value Stocks

What are value stocks?

One of the sweetest and most profitable pleasures of successful investing is to buy high-quality “value stocks” (or stocks that are reasonably priced, if not cheap, in relation to its sales, earnings or assets), then hold on to them as mainstream investors recognize the value and push up the share price.

Blue Chip Stocks

Blue chip stocks are big, well-established, dividend-paying corporations with strong business prospects. These are companies that also have sound management that should be able to make the right moves to keep competing successfully in a changing marketplace.

Penny Stocks

A penny stock in general trades for under five dollars a share, and as the name implies, sometimes for pennies. Most of the time they’re young companies, or start-ups in speculative markets like mining or technology.

Growth Stocks

Growth stocks are companies that are likely to have sales and earnings growth well above market average. Frequently they pay few, if any, dividends. Instead they typically reinvest any extra cash flow to promote further growth. Chosen wisely—according to Pat McKeough’s advice—high-quality growth-oriented stocks can be worthwhile additions to most well-diversified portfolios.

Wealth Management

Wealth management is the practice of putting your savings to work so that it continues to grow over your lifetime and will also benefit your heirs. Wealth management encompasses many different areas of investing like long term investment planning and retirement planning.

Mining Stocks

Mining stocks are investments in companies that produce or explore for minerals. Some of these minerals include uranium, coal, molybdenum (which is used in steelmaking), copper, silver and gold. They are affected by fluctuating commodity prices in addition to their own business and operating risks.

How To Invest

Pat McKeough has been making investing for beginners simple—and profitable—by helping investors make big gains for more than 25 years. His advice to beginning investors is the same as it is for all investors: buy high-quality, mostly dividend paying stocks (or ETFs that hold these stocks) and evenly spread your investments over the five main economic sectors (Resources, Manufacturing, Finance, Utilities and Consumer). Pat also believes investors should avoid stocks in the broker/media limelight and focus on those with hidden or little-noticed assets.

Energy Stocks

What are energy stocks?

Businesses that work in the extraction, refining and delivery of energy sources such as natural gas, oil, uranium and coal, are considered energy stocks.
