theflyonthewall.com: Four Barron's Roundtable members discuss their investment recommendations
In the final installment of this year's Barron's Roundtable, four of Wall Street luminarie discuss their investment recommendations. The members of the Barron's Roundtable last met on Jan.11, they warned it wouldn't be smooth sailing for the market -- or investors. No surprise, their concerns about the economy and the markets, aired in the past two issues of Barron's, underly their investment recommendations for 2010. PICKS of this week's stars: (1) Bill Gross, head honcho at Pimco, begins the meeting with a description of what his firm calls "the new normal" -- slower growth in the years ahead than the abnormal growth of the mid-2000s. Accordingly, he emphasizes "stable, conservative income generation" -- and several bonds and exchange-traded funds that offer appropriately juicy yields. (2) Meryl Witmer, a general partner of Eagle Capital Partners, likes: Companss Minerals (CMP), Stewart Info Systems (STC), Delta Lloyd (DL.Netherlands), Genworth MI Canada (MIC.Canada), and Biotest (BIO3.German). (3) Archie MacAllaster, head of MacAllaster Pitfield Mackay, his astute analysis of several beaten-up banks and insurers, some selling nicely below book value, whose glory days might not be over, no matter the market's current view. His Picks: Protective Life (PL), HArtford Financial Services (HIG), Principal Financial Group (PFG), FBL Financial Group (FFG), Prudential (PRU), MetLife (MET), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Supervalu (SVU). (4) Fred Hickey, editor of the High-Tech Strategist, has sworn off short-selling. Instead, he's buying gold stocks big and small, for the coming "crazy" stage of the gold rally, and a handful of technology companies whose true value inexplicably remains hidden. His picks are: Market Vectors Jr Gold Miners (GDXJ), Newmont Mining (NEM), Sybase (SY), Novell (NOVL), Symantec (SYMC) and Microsoft (MSFT). Reference Link :theflyonthewall.com
