Buy Hold Sell: 5 of Livewire’s most searched stocks

At Livewire we’ll cheerfully admit that we’re a little obsessed with analysing data and using algorithms in various ways to serve you the best and most relevant content. One feature we’ve seen explode in popularity is the ‘Search Livewire’ function (up there, at the top). If you punch in a stock code, you’ll find the latest wires and contributors discussing those companies.

In this week’s Buy Hold Sell, we’re going to examine the stocks Livewire users have been searching for most over the last 30 days. They include: 1) A company that traditional forms the bedrock of equity income portfolios; 2) A healthcare giant stuck in a rut, 3) A biotech hopeful, 4) A mining stock that’s been left out of the gold rally, and 5) A payments business whose share price is languishing.

And while Livewire users have a solid nose for opportunity, do the experts believe they are heading for a dead-end? We bring James Gerrish of Market Matters and Henry Jennings from Marcus Today on the show for their views.
