Regular readers of BloggingStocks will find no shortage of stock picks for 2008 on our pages. Steven Halpern alone has compiled about 120 picks from the investment advisors he follows. But plenty of other bloggers have favorites for 2008 to share.
In an effort to consolidate the wealth of ideas into one handy post, here are a few of our bloggers' favorite selections for the year ahead:
VeriSign (NASDAQ: VRSN) is the 2008 pick of Georges Yared (check out how his 2007 picks did). He expects this internet security and domain registry firm to sell off its non-core assets and grow its core business in 2008.
Priceline (NASDAQ: PCLN) is the current favorite of Beth Gaston Moon. It's already had an amazing run in 2007, climbing from about $45 to $120 a share. Looking for a lower-priced stock? Beth recently spotlighted 10 Stocks for Under $10.
Deckers Outdoor (NASDAQ: DECK) is a stock I picked in a recent video, which Beth likes as well. I think it will continue to surprise to the upside on the strength of sales of its trendy Ugg boots. Zac Bissonnette thinks it will no doubt flame out at some point.
Newcastle Investment Corp. (NYSE: NCT) is the top pick of Sheldon Liber. Sheldon is just amazed by this real estate credit REIT's 20% dividend yield and even recommended the stock to his mother-in-law recently. That was brave!
Transocean (NYSE: RIG) was recommended by Joseph Lazzaro. Joe expects day rates for this deepwater driller to continue to climb due to capacity shortages. He also likes Boeing Airlines (NYSE: BA).
Investools (NASDAQ: SWIM) comes from Timothy Sykes, who not only owns the stock, but is also a client of the brokerage and investment training company. Not surprisingly, he likes the chart.
Verint Systems (OTC: VRNT), picked by Aaron Katsman, who thinks the business intelligence software firm will move up when it re-lists on the Nasdaq.
