by Leo Fasciocco, editor Ticker Tape DigestOur latest featured stock is US Airways Group ( LCC); profits are expected to surge this year and next, and we are targeting LCC for a flight to $17 off this breakout.
LCC is a holding company for US Airways, Piedmonth Airlines, PSA Airlines and several other firms.The airlinehas hubs in Charlotte, Philadelphia and Phoenix. From a peak of $63.27 in late 2006, the stock took a nose dive down to as low as $1.45 in 2008. It has since been working its way higher. The stock has been one of the strongest issues in the market since April, and has shown unusual bullish strength in the face of the recent market decline. Over the last 12-months, the stock has appreciated 60% versus a 5% gain in the S&P 500 index. This year, analysts are forecasting a 297% surge in earnings to $2.70 a share from the 68 cents a year ago. The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of just 5. We sees that as low given the earnings outlook. For 2013, earnings are projected to climb 28% to $3.45 a share from the anticipated $2.70 this year. A wild card for LCC is its possible merger of American Airlines. There has been speculation as to a merger, but no specific news. That could be a big plus if things go right.

Fidelity expert: Bowers' bond bets |
by Jack Bowers, editor Fidelity Monitor & Insight
If you’ve been worried that the bond market might take a big hit, you can relax. Indeed, while bond funds may lag stock funds over the next 5-10 years, they still have a decent shot at keeping up with inflation, and they remain an excellent way to cut risk in a blended portfolio.
