5 Stocks You Don’t Have to Worry About

You CAN Profit in the Current Environment

Despite the negative returns in the broader market, money can be made in this environment.

The trick is in owning the right stocks. That is why quality stock picking is at an absolute premium. Own the wrong stocks, and your portfolio will sink along with the rest of the market.

Wall Street is in disarray amidst a banking crisis and asset deflation not seen since the Great Depression. Such a state explains why many investors prefer the mattress over the market. But I’m here to tell you to resist that urge to be overly cautious. There are opportunities out there if you know how to find them.

For example, I provided my Top 10 Stocks for 2009 at the end of last year. If you recall, fear was high at that time as well, but for those looking for short-term profits, these stocks fit the bill.

The results so far are stunning with four of the 10 stocks in positive territory when the entirety of the market is down. Given that I expect the weakness in the early part of the year to yield to positive returns, the outlook for this list is bright, but what about the long term? Are there any stocks that you can buy today and forget about?
