Ten Stock Picks for 2009

I have owned MPEL and there is nothing but upside potential. Not only does the author mention the new City of Dreams but also the VIP is becoming a big money maker. If we can get the world economies back on board, then you will only see more people back at the casinos. Especially VIP's. With LVS and WYNN having a few issues with cash flow, MPEL is in a great position for market share.

I would also mention that JNJ is a strong Large Cap stock that I think anyone can jump on. I would still say that DNDN is still very speculative. It will stay cheap until news on the cancer drug breaks. Not an investors stock.

From a sector front, I like energy stocks at these prices (HES and COP would fall here). I also like commodity stocks later in the year to start back to the upside.
