Sometimes one reason is enough, but a whole bunch of reasons makes the decision to enter a trade even easier, says Royston Wild of The Motley Fool UK, who shares several reasons he feels this stock is set to skyrocket.
Today I am outlining why I believe Unilever (LN:ULVR) (NY:UL) should continue to head higher on the back of strong emerging markets.
Emerging markets to remain a lucrative revenues driver
Shares in Unilever have moved broadly to the downside in recent months, thundering almost 14% lower over the past three months, as fears over demand from developing markets have dented appetite for the cyclical stock. But in my opinion, recent weakness provides a fresh opportunity to plough into the stock, as Unilever is still expected to punch meaty sales growth of 8% this year, a figure broadly in line with its historical average.
The household goods giant exacerbated patchy investor sentiment by warning of falling demand in critical developing regions in its latest trading update in September. Unilever warned that it has seen "weakening in the market growth of many emerging countries in quarter three and now expects underlying sales growth of 3 to 3.5% in the quarter". By comparison, the business posted like-for-like sales growth of 5% in the second quarter of 2013.

Small cap stocks Attitude Drinks Inc (OTCMKTS: ATTD), Axiologix, Inc (OTCMKTS: AXLX) and Unisource Corporation (OTCMKTS: USRC) have all been getting some attention lately in investment emails or investor alerts thanks in part to paid promotions. And while there is nothing wrong with properly disclosed paid promotions or investor relations activity, such activity can backfire on unwary investors or traders. With that in mind, here is a closer look at all three small cap stocks to help you decide whether they are truly hot or not:

For Wall Street types, single-family foreclosures can be bought cheaply and in bulk, then fixed up and rented. Companies like the Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX ) and Colony Financial (NYSE: CLNY ) have been very active in this market, with the former purchasing 16,000 homes just last year, and the latter ramping up its own portfolio to approximately 7,000. This new industry has also spawned fresh entrants from the REIT field, Silver Bay Realty (NYSE: SBY ) and Altisource Residential, (NYSE: RESI ) two trusts that were spun off earlier this year from parent companies Two Harbors Investment (NYSE: TWO ) and Altisource Portfolio Solutions (NASDAQ: ASPS ) , specifically to take advantage of the boom in the foreclosure-to-rental market.

That's not to say that Apple doesn't have opportunities there, but rather that the country isn't at the top of its priority list. Apple has never inked a deal with Japan's largest wireless carrier, NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM ) , either. The top carrier currently has 61.6 million subscribers. Japan is actually one of the few countries where iOS has Android beat in market share. Kantar Worldpanel Comtech's first-quarter estimates peg iOS at 49.2%, with Android at 45.8%.
