Top 10 Japanese Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Nintendo� (NASDAQOTH: NTDOY  ) drastically�cut its sales forecast after its flagship Wii U game experienced depressing sales. In response, the game maker said it would post an operating loss, which will place added pressure on the multinational consumer electronics company to take serious action to turn its business around, according to the Wall Street Journal.�On Jan. 17,�the Japanese game maker said it expected to sell a mere 2.8 million Wii U consoles. This was a big blow for Nintendo, as this figure was less than one-third of initial sales estimates.

Despite Nintendo's price cuts and rich lineup of titles, such as the latest entry to its Super Mario Bros.�franchise, the company will sell even fewer Wii U's in the console's second full year of sales. That's less than it did during the first five months after the console was introduced. Wii U performed the weakest in overseas markets during the peak period -- the year-end holiday season. Nintendo's rivals,�Sony� (NYSE: SNE  ) �and Microsoft� (NASDAQ: MSFT  ) �are doing much better, further adding to the company's woes.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By James E. Brumley]

    The recent strength from Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (NASDAQ:SINO) and the now-renewed strength from Safe Bulkers, Inc. (NYSE:SB) would suggest those two stocks are among the very best ways to play the rebound currently unfurling in the shipping sector. And to be fair, both are fine companies in their own right. The top play in the dry goods maritime shipping arena, however, may well be Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE:DSX). No, DSX isn't one of the fun and exciting small caps in the maritime shipping space. But, there's a lot to be said for size and stability, which SB and SINO can't offer.

Advisors' Opinion:

    Home-builder initial public offerings have delivered mixed results in the past year. Three are trading below their offering prices: Taylor Morrison Home Corp.(TMHC) is down 3.9% from its IPO price at $21.15. William Lyon Homes is down 3.7% at $24.07. UPC Inc. is down 2.9% at $14.57.

    LM Otero, AP The housing market has been leading the economic recovery, but have housing stocks hit the ceiling? They're jumping today after a very bullish report on housing starts: New construction projects last month topped the 1 million annual rate for the time since before the financial crisis began in 2008. That's lifted shares of leading homebuilders by two to four percent today, adding to the huge gains over the past year. KB Homes (KBH), Pulte (PHA) and Hovnanian (HOV) have all doubled in price over the past year. Lennar (LEN) is up 44 percent, D.R. Horton (DHI) is up 47 percent and Toll Brothers (TOL) 33 percent. Those gains have prompted several other builders to go public this year. Taylor Morrison Home (TMHC), Tri Pointe, and William Lyon Home have all moved higher since their IPOs. And even though there's plenty of optimism that housing will continue to lead the broader economic recovery, there's some concern that these stocks may slow down. Homebuilder stocks can no longer be considered cheap. So some analysts see alternate routes for investors looking to play the housing boom. One way is through home-improvement retailers, which benefit from sales of both new and existing homes. Other plays include lumber, furniture and appliance companies. It's also worth noting that today's report on home construction showed that starts of single-family homes actually declined in March. It was the more volatile multi-family sector that led the advance. But there may be some stock market opportunities in REITs – real estate investment trusts – which focus on apartments. Among the biggest ones are Post Properties, Essex Property Trust and Associated Estates. They make money from collecting monthly rents. And these stocks generally trade below the value of the properties they own. Even some builders known for single-family homes are moving into the multi-family segment. Lennar announced in January that it plans to enter the apartment rental mar
