Best Performing Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Though holidays are a few months away, investors are being treated to a Dickens-like story when it comes to Citigroup (NYSE: C  ) . Much like the ghosts of Christmas past, Christmas present, and Christmas yet to come, Citigroup is a bank showing its past, present, and future -- all in one earnings report. The good news for investors is, unlike in Scrooge's story, the company's future isn't scary at all.

The ghost of Christmas past
Most of Citigroup's large bank peers have elected to keep their "good" and "bad" assets lumped together. This is a big part of the reason peer banks like Bank of America (NYSE: BAC  ) and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC  ) report their non-performing assetpercentages at 2.3% and 2.6%.�JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM  ) also lumps its good and bad assets together, but the bank's non-performing asset percentage is just 1.5%, which shows there is a fair disparity between the biggest banks.�.

Citigroup's ghost of Christmas past is represented by the Citi Holdings division. This represents the assets that Citigroup would like to dispose of. Citi Holding's non-performing asset percentage is terrible -- at 3.6%, almost as frightening as when Marley first appeared to Scrooge. The good news is, this isn't a clear picture of Citigroup today.

• [By John Udovich]

  Since the start of the week, small cap nuclear fuel stock USEC Inc (NYSE: USU) more than doubled for investors, something that has not happened for investors in uranium stocks like Uranium Resources, Inc (NASDAQ: URRE), Denison Mines Corp (NYSEMKT: DNN), Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSEMKT: URG) and Uranerz Energy Corp (NYSEMKT: URZ). To recap: USEC Inc closed at the $6 level on Friday, but then it surged to the $15 level on Monday only to open at the $10 level on Tuesday when it ultimately closed at $12.46. So what in the world is going on with USEC Inc and is it time to revisit nuclear fuel and uranium stocks?
