2008 was the year of investment turmoil. Although economists claim the first half of 2009 will have a few more market cartwheels, the time is ripe to make specific investments. In the first few months of 2009, market bottom picks will offer the savvy investor a chance to feather his portfolio.
Look for that oil slick investment in 2009. With rock bottom prices for a barrel of crude, this is the time to buy oil, especially in domestic production as OPEC is currently negotiating to further reduce oil production
in an effort to raise prices.
Try your hand at some Funds predicted to do well in 2009. ProShares UltraShort and Merger Fund look like top performers and don't count out Hussman Strategic Growth fund when you're shopping. All three are among the best potential performers for this year.
Expect big movement from JNJ (Johnson and Johnson) in the 2009 investment market. With a steady growth rate and the pharmaceutical industry working overtime to keep up with new drug demands, JNJ looks like a winner.
Tread carefully in 2009. After the housing bubble burst and subsequent market losses, the fallout is not yet over for that sector. The drop in housing values will likely see foreclosures, which will drive home values even lower throughout the first part of 2009. Direct investment in localized areas where industry advancements are expected could net you a tidy nest egg
by next summer when the market is slated to be in full upturn.
- Avoid stocks that were volatile in 2008.
- Invest in the big giants, such as Microsoft early in 2009.
