  • 12 Stocks in Focus for the Obama Era [View article]
    "Basic materials. These stocks will benefit from all of the new construction initiatives that have been put forth. Caterpillar (CAT) and US Steel (X) could do well."

    However private construction is bigger than public construction. And what does everyone expect in the way of new office buildings, for example ? A massive decline.


    "Healthcare.. These companies have already agreed to price-cuts which could affect profitability."

    Nonsense; it was simply some trade associations making meaningless PR statements.


    "Big Oil. Look out Exxon (XOM) and Chevron (CVX)."

    Oil is an international market. Peak oil is happening and the Chinese all want to get a car. While it will take a couple years for oil to recover, after that prices will explode.
