Stocks were indicated to open lower on Wednesday, but this is after many days of gains and with equity indexes close to their highs. The bull market is now more than eight years old, and investors have proven over and over that they will buy every single pullback. Those same investors are also looking for new trading and investing ideas.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week. The goal is to find new investing and trading ideas for our readers. Some of these analyst reports cover stocks to buy and others cover stocks to sell or to avoid.

Some additional color and commentary has been added on most of the following analyst calls, and the consensus sell-side analyst price targets are taken from Thomson Reuters.
