If you could buy 5 stocks right now which ones would you buy? why?


If you could buy 5 stocks right now which ones would you buy? why?

I look at free cash flow and what Warren Buffett likes since he is the MAN.

AEO-American Eagle Outfitters- They always generate a ton of cash and their stock is severly undervalued.

NTRI-Nutrisystem- #2 of top 200 small companies from Forbes Magazine, small debt, good earnings. SHares got knocked down from $70 range because of the first FDA approved weight loss drug, Alli. Alli recommends that you eat healthy meals (like NTRI's meals) but the big downside to the drug is MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DIARRHEA! WHen people get tired of that they will come to the company that consists of 55% of all diet sales. I bought in at $31, and buy more when it dips to $24.

BAC-Bank of America- Great dividend, Buffett bought in from$48-$50. He doesn't lose at investing. The stock is at $41.59.

WFC-Wells Fargo-Same thing as above. Banks don't generate anything that eat up earnings and this company is the leader. Buffett buys in at $32-$36 and it is at $30.62 right now. Nice dividend.

BRLC-Syntax-Brillian- New LCD company that competes against Vizio for the low cost TV crown. These TVs are cheap, can be found everywhere, and have ratings much better than Vizio. They are reorganizing, got rid of their money losing LCoS TVs and I think looks really good at $2.45 a share. I thought it was a steal at $4 so I am trying to wait it out for a bottom.

Safest picks? BAC, WFC because Buffett never loses.

Go with John Deere. The Ag industry is really making money. If you watch it day to day you might think it is a bit unstable but in the last 30 years it has consistantly gained in value.

FCX - minerals is a good sector, severly undervalued with it's growth rate.
FTEK - pollution control, what could be better with the Dems most likely coming to the White House?
FWLT - engineering and construction is hot, choose any you want.
GOOG - do I really need to say anything?
FSLR - it may be overvalued, but the trend is your friend, right?

I still love Exxon-Mobil. Their price keeps climbing, and the world is very dependent on oil. Look at their performance over time. Plus, they pay a dividend.

Senomyx (SNMX) A high risk bet, but one that offers potentially huge rewards. This is a company that makes compounds that allow food companies to reduce the amount of sugar, salt, MSG etc they use in their products. It's been beaten down recently for no particular good reason, but products that contain its compounds are just starting to sell. It has contracts with some big industry names (Nestle, Coke, etc). By no means low risk, but very high potential returns.

Anika Therapeautics (ANIK) Has just developed a wonder gunk called Elevess that has a lot of cosmetic surgery uses. It's looking for a new distribution partner and hopes to start selling the product next year. Also growing earnings of its existing products at a rapid clip. Could easily triple.

I'm also quite bullish on solar stocks for the next few years. Demand for solar power should grow at a respectable clip over the next few years. One problem for the industry though is a shortage of polysilicon, the raw material to make solar products. Evergreen Solar (ESLR) has apparently developed a production process that uses less silicon that some of its rivals, which could give it a competitive advantage down the road. Alternately companies that produce polysilicon may be good plays, like MEMC (WFR). Alternately you could try HOKU, a small company that's building a polysilicon plant.

And, what the hell, for the long term pick up some Harley Davidson stock (HOG). You can't find a stronger brand on the planet and its been beaten down lately.

Note that I own either stock or options or both in all of these companies.
