My Top 2 Bill Gates Picks

Revenue topped $12 billion in the past 12 months. Growth in earnings per share (EPS) averaged 12.65% a year over the past five years and is expected to accelerate to more than 15% a year in the next five years. Free cash flow has turned positive in the past 12 months and increased almost 50% in the last year.

Investors have pushed the stock price up nearly 35% since the beginning of the year, and ECL has an RS rank of 100, meaning it has been a top performer in the stock market over the past six months.

Grupo Televisa SAB (ADR) (NYSE:TV) provides programming and cable and satellite services to viewers in the U.S., Mexico, the Dominican Republic and other countries. The company reported more than $5.5 billion in revenue over the past 12 months and earnings of more than $680 million, or $1.10 per share. Cash flow per share doubled in the past 12 months.

Grupo Televisa is up only 6% since the beginning of the year, but has an RS rank of 72, just above the buy level of 70 I use for this indicator.

As I mentioned earlier, following market “gurus” like Bill Gates is one of the best ways to make money in the stock market. Investors should consider joining Bill Gates as long-term shareholders of ECL and TV.

But Gates is just one of the 20 investing gurus I follow. And as I just showed you, it’s not as simple as looking at their portfolio and buying what they hold. Timing also matters.

I’ve come out with a new free report that helps you understand exactly how you can beat the best gurus in the world at their own game. To get access to the free report,“How to Outperform Soros, Icahn… or Even Buffett,” click here.
