Advisors' Opinion:- [By WALLSTCHEATSHEET.COM]
Petrobras participates in an area that is essential to many consumers, businesses, and overall global growth. The stock has been in a range this past quarter, but is currently trading at highs slightly below its all time highs. During the last four quarters, the stock has seen decreasing earnings and revenue figures, leaving investors with mixed feelings. Relative to its peers and sector, Petrobras has trailed in performance by a significant margin. STAY AWAY from Petrobras for now.

JH: One of the areas where the U.S. for decades has been the leading technological power is in small nuclear reactors. We've used them on our aircraft carriers and on our nuclear submarines safely and efficiently. The U.S. has an advantage in understanding small modular nuclear reactors. One of the companies that we have followed for a long time that's working on that is Babcock & Wilcox Co. (BWC). There's also Fluor Corp. (FLR), which is working on small modular nuclear reactors. President Obama and the Department of Energy are funding research on the implementation of small modular nuclear reactors.
