Hot US Stocks To Buy Right Now

Many investors have become intrigued by the ongoing debate over liquefied natural gas, or LNG, exports. As far as stock market opportunities go, the only company in the U.S. with all the necessary approvals for such exports is�Cheniere Energy (NYSEMKT: LNG  ) . If you haven't been following the company, you may have some questions not only about Cheniere itself, but also about how it fits into the global LNG picture. That's why�we created a�premium report�on the company,�to help guide investors on whether or not Cheniere merits consideration for their portfolios.�

Following is an excerpt from the report, which focuses on the company's management. It's just a sample of one section, but we hope you enjoy.

Leadership

Cheniere Energy has 10 people sitting on its board of directors. Half of them have a background in private equity or banking, while the other half has energy industry experience. Ordinarily, that sort of ratio might spook investors, but given Cheniere's dependency on investment capital, it isn't especially concerning right now. It is something investors should monitor in the coming years, however, as there is more to running a successful business than raising cash. The diversity of experience on your board can make a big difference.

Hot US Stocks To Buy Right Now: Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP)

Rydex S&P Equal Weight ETF (the Fund) seeks to replicate as closely as possible the performance of the S&P Equal Weight Index (the Index). The Index is the equal-weighted version of the S&P 500, which is a measure of the large-capitalization stocks of 500 major corporations selected by Standard & Poor��, a division of The McGraw Hill Company, Inc., for their market size, liquidity and industry group representation. The Index is developed by Standard & Poor's in collaboration with Rydex Investments. The Index utilizes quarterly rebalancing to maintain its equal-weight stance.

The Fund uses a passive management strategy to track the performance of the Index. The Fund invests in substantially all of the securities in the Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Index. The Fund's investment advisor is Rydex Investments.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal-Weight (NYSEMKT: RSP  )
  Equal-weight ETFs own the same stocks as regular S&P 500-tracking funds, but with a catch: rather than weighting the amount it invests in each stock by market capitalization, the Guggenheim ETF has roughly equal dollar amounts invested in all 500 of its holdings. Lately, that has produced better returns than the overall S&P, because of weak performance from the S&P's largest companies. With an expense ratio of 0.40%, the Guggenheim offering isn't the cheapest ETF available, but if you like simplicity and think that smaller companies are poised to outperform their larger counterparts, then the equal-weight ETF may be the right pick for you.
