Top Shipping Stocks To Buy Right Now

Pepsi stock hit an all-time high last month, but there's a new cola war brewing.�

SodaStream's (NASDAQ: SODA  ) enlisting bigger appliances in its battle against�Coca-Cola� (NYSE: KO  ) and�PepsiCo� (NYSE: PEP  ) , and the soda giants better be paying attention.

SodaStream's partnership with Samsung has delivered the first refrigerator that uses SodaStream technology (and CO2 refills) to deliver carbonated water from the dispenser. This isn't science fiction. The refrigerator is shipping now, and Best Buy (NYSE: BBY  ) is already stocking the state-of-the-art kitchen appliance.�

Now, it isn't cheap. Samsung's suggested retail price is $3,900. Best Buy is selling it for $3.700. However, as the technology gets cheaper, and other makers hop on the home-based carbonation bandwagon, it could mean a dent in sales for the soda giants. This could naturally hurt Pepsi stock as it leans more on its salty snacks business if the fizzing fridges take off.�

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By he Fiscal Times]

  Seagate Technology (STX -0.17%) may be buffeted by anxiety about demand for digital memory storage, but it pays dividends – big dividends. True, its yield has dipped from nearly 6% to about 4.8% today, but that's still more than double the yield on the S&P 500 as a whole. And the company's cash flow seems able to sustain that. There are questions hovering overhead --specifically, whether margins will suffer from the slower demand -- but hedge fund manager David Einhorn has been a vocal fan. And do you really want to bicker with Einhorn?
