Vita Nelson, leading expert on dividend reinvestment plans, recommends portfolio diversification. She submitted a package of 5 favorite stocks for 2010. "We make a point of recommending that people don't pin their hopes on just one stock (which might underachieve in the short-run)."
- Global Crossing: George Putnam's Top Stock for 2010
"Global Crossing was started in 1997 to build a worldwide fiber optic cable network; revenues grew very slowly, and the company was forced to file for Chapter 11 in January 2002," explains turnaround specialist George Putnam. Now, however, the editor of The Turnaround Letter, suggests, "The potential of that network is finally beginning to be fulfilled."

The Dines Letter's Seasonalities for January
James Dines, The Dines Letter: The "January Barometer," the entire month of January has gained prominence as one of the market's foremost bellwethers. Briefly, whichever direction markets go the entire month of January often points to the direction of the entire year. January is usually a bullish month for gold and silver shares, but if DISSA declines in January that would be a serious negative factor for silver-mining shares for all of 2010. |
