Listed Below are 5 Stocks to add to your watch list the coming week, months ahead.

1. HollyFrontier Corp   – (HFC) (-5%) of which 5 days ago was trading at $37.92. As they just announced they will go ex – dividend tomorrow, many may be dumping there stocks to re buy at a low.

2. Sodastream International Limited -(SODA) (+5%) of which had a 52 week high of $79.72 is currently at $40.00 which is almost 50% off of the high. I am Long SODA, as I feel it has great potential to crank in great Return on Assets, and Equity, Plus net profit, and revenue will continue to jump long term.

3. The Blackstone Group L.P.  – (BX) (+3%) of which is trading around $7.00 off its 52 week high of $19.63 is a sound investment long term. With a 0.10 dividend, and a yield of 3.16. The potential upside, factored in with the dividend payout is solid for many investors to want to eye.

4. MGM Resorts International. – (MGM) (+2%) of which is trading $4.50 off of 52 week highs of $16.94. Even in a down economy, gamblers continue to gamble. Not to mention with the online poker thing still on major crack down, the ones of who used to gamble at home, will be heading to the Casinos, to do there betting. Long Term growth, with a possibility of someday adding a Dividend.

5. Starbucks Corporation – (SBUX) (+.085)  an investment of which I feel could be a stock for the next 10 years. As Starbucks aims for the market overseas, now we can see how big this company can actually get. With the profits, and revenues of which Starbucks generates, the only future ahead for Starbucks is continued growth, and dividend payouts.

Disclosure – I am Long all the stocks named.

3 Reasons to Like!

1. With there 52 week high at $19.63, and the low at $9.89. At Under $14.00 you have a potential of good upside! Not to mention with a 0.10 dividend and yield of 2.90 its not to bad.

2. Blackstone stated to investors they have raised $4 Billion for the latest Real Estate fund, in only 4 Months of the Fundraiser. Not to mention they are well managed, and currently are in the works of buying 1 Billion of BAC Real Estate Investments, and if this goes threw their is much potential for deals to spur in the Global Real Estate Sector.

3. They keep on gaining great revenue from 1,703.32 12 months ending in 2009 to 3,119.34 12 months ending in 2010. They also capitalized on EPS from -2.51 in 09, to 3.21 in 2010 per diluted share. Now for the first 2Q’s of 2011 their revenue is already at 1,153.27 and 1,308.28 = 2,461.55 with there 2 best months for revenue in 2010 being Q3 and Q4 look for there ending Revenue to be close to 5,125.00 Plus which would be a 40% revenue jump year from 2010 to 2011. Another thing to note is EPS which already Q1 and Q2 have equaled out to be $2.00 per diluted share, I would not be surprised if they hit $4.00 per diluted share. Meaning a $0.80 per share increase year over year or 20% jump. Yes they do have some outstanding debt which may draw a negative however I think there Assets counter it.

Currently I have Blackstone as a BUY rating, and HOLD HOLD, and PoulTrend Alert.

Disclosure- Currently I do hold a long term position in The Blackstone Group and do not plan to make another position with them in the next 3 trading days. .
