Top 10 Value Stocks To Watch For 2019

tags:SYX,TSN,WIT,ADUS,AQXP,EXPD,CIM,BPT,UBNK,KEY, An early cheerleader for bitcoin has announced it's pulling the plug on the digital currency.

Leading online payments company Stripe said it will stop processing bitcoin transactions in April.

Stripe, which works with more than 100,000 businesses around the world, said it made the decision because huge volatility in bitcoin's price has made it pretty impractical for making and receiving payments.

"Bitcoin has evolved to become better-suited to being an asset than being a means of exchange," Stripe executive Tom Karlo wrote in a company blog post Tuesday.

Stripe's withdrawal of support comes on the back of bitcoin's wild ride over the last year or so.

Over the course of 2017, its price surged from under $1,000 to more than $19,000 at one point. It's plunged back to around $10,000 during tumultuous trading this month.

Experts say that the violent swings make bitcoin less useful as a currency and more of a vehicle for speculators to bet on its future value.

  Sometimes, though, you can have too much of a good thing.

Below, I'll look at BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE:BPT), CenturyLink (NYSE:CTL), and Annaly Capital Management (NYSE:NLY) to explain why their yields are so high and what dangers could lurk beneath the surface.

Investors weren't happy with the current state of geopolitical uncertainty, with trade disputes threatening to become larger problems than ever. But the release of the minutes of the latest meeting of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy committee convinced many that the central bank will be slow to do lasting damage to the economic expansion, remaining measured in the pace of its interest rate increases. Moreover, some companies had good news that sent their shares higher. Tiffany (NYSE:TIF), BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE:BPT), and Ralph Lauren (NYSE:RL) were among the best performers on the day. Here's why they did so well.
