Three Crude Oil Blue Chips to Sell
Stocks to sell that spring to mind right now are probably not in the energy sector. Crude oil prices are up 16% in six weeks. Dividend investors continue to seek out low-risk, high-yield stock picks. So you would think that the major crude oil and energy stocks are good buys right?
Wrong. The fact of the matter is that as we enter another earnings season, the numbers just aren't there for many crude oil blue chips. Even with oil prices improving right now, the ship has sailed on Q3 and those profits are all over but the counting. And as many investors will see soon, those profits may not be as healthy as many crude oil stocks would like.

Three Tech Penny Stocks to Buy Now
Penny stock investing doesn't have to be a crap shoot on long-shot stocks. Done well, penny stocks can be a great way to diversify your portfolio and really amp up your investment profits. While penny stock investing can be risky, it can also be very rewarding.
I recommend finding bargain penny stocks traded on major exchanges, for no less than $1 a share and with a proven track record. These penny stock investments should show significant earnings growth and strong buying pressure behind shares, increasing the likelihood that these stocks will be on the way up in the very near future.

Three Small Cap Buyout Targets
A 21-month run of rock-bottom interest rates have created a perfect environment for corporate bonds --- and as bond yields fall, bond prices rise and investors and companies have made out like bandits. This has put so much cash in corporate coffers that cash (as a percentage of S&P 500 market capitalization and excluding financials) has soared from just 3% of market value back in 1999 to more than 12.5% today! This cash is burning a hole in the pockets of many companies, and they are starting to use it to make bids for other companies so they can grab market share and expand on the cheap.That's great news for small cap stocks with strong fundamentals, since these are always prime buyout targets. And here are three:

Five Famous Technology Stocks Short Circuiting Now
With the merger war between Dell, Inc. (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) at last drawing to a close with the latest $33 a share offer from HP for 3par, Inc. (PAR), tech stocks have really been in focus lately. A spate of merger and acquisition action has prompted a renewed focus on information technology companies, particularly cloud computing stocks.However, don't be fooled into thinking that a bunch of big spenders in the technology sector means that all tech picks are doing well. In fact, a number of big name blue chips in the industry continue to face very difficult roads ahead. Here are 5 blue chip tech stocks stumbling right now:

Here are three stocks to buy with shares trading well into triple-digits that would not surprise with a steady rise in current asking price in the days to come.

3 Big Name Blue Chips to Sell Now
The stock market had a pretty good run last week, with the Dow Jones gaining about 3.3%, the S&P 500 adding +3.5% and the Nasdaq tacking on +4.2%. Favorable corporate earnings from some big name stocks helped lead the charge, and gave way to new optimism for many stocks.
But don't think this means that the market is going to be smooth sailing from here on out. The bottom line is that a number of companies are still struggling, after just posting poor earnings or issuing warning signs as they approach their earnings date.
To keep you out of the worst stocks, here are 3 big name blue chips to sell now:

Three Health Care Stocks to Sell: Amgen, Baxter, Becton Dickinson
Health care stocks are seen as low-risk investments by many stock market investors. After all – folks will always get sick, right? While that may be the case, it's an oversimplification to say that all health care stocks then have a built in customer base. The fact of the matter is that the health care industry has seen a big shakeup in the wake of Obama's health care reform bill and not all stocks in this sector are adapting well.To keep your portfolio in perfect health, here are three big-name health care blue chips to sell now.

Three Penny Stocks to Buy Now
Penny stock investing doesn't have to involve super risky stocks that can erase your retirement money. Penny stock recommendations also can encapsulate low-priced stocks that are more stable, trading at bargain prices and low valuations. These bargain investments trade for between $1 and $3 -- very cheap compared to traditional equities. Though they are not trading for a few cents like some penny stock recommendations, these stocks are worth the extra share price because they have added stability.

Three Penny Stocks to Buy Now
As a "growth guy," who focuses on sales and earnings, I have very strict guidelines for screening penny stocks. Small stocks come with big risks, and there aren't always the concrete numbers I demand in these investments. However, if you do your homework you can often separate the poor penny stocks from the shiny picks that could deliver big profits overnight.Here are three of my favorite penny stocks right now:

Three Busted Blue Chips to Sell
After the stock market's antics in May, things appear to be on the mend in June with the broader market trending upwards -- especially thanks to a bullish start of this week as the revaluation of China's yuan took center stage. But a rising tide does not lift all boats. Some stocks have been pushed down for a reason following the stock market's consolidation last month, and these picks need to be trimmed from your portfolio immediately. Here are the three worst blue chip stocks according to my latest analysis of the market:

Brace for Deflation at Home, Inflation in Emerging Markets
There's a lot of talk about whether the recovery will stall or continue building momentum. We could get a very clear picture this week since the big economic news will likely be the May price reports. I'm expecting to see signs of deflation across the board -- which could take some of the wind out of consumers' sails.Here's the news to look for:
- Tuesday, June 15: May Import Prices. Expected decline of -1.5%.
- Wednesday, June 16: May Producer Prices. Expected decline of -0.5%.
- Thursday, June 17: May Consumer Prices. Expected decline of -0.2%.

Make a Quick 35-40% in Tower Semiconductor
It's a volatile market out there, but investors shouldn't take that as a sign that they should run for the hills. The bottom line is that volatility can cut both ways -- and while most traders are more concerned with the downside risks, that shouldn't overshadow the potential for quick and substantial gains with a well-timed swing trade.In my book, one of the best short-term buys you can make right now is a well-timed in and out in small cap tech stock Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (TSEM). Shares cost about as much as a fountain soda from the corner store, but have the potential to add a sugar rush to your portfolio very quickly.

Three Booming Latin America Banks
The financial sector has been a strange double-edged sword in portfolios over the past two years or so. In the wake of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, billions of wealth was erased in what were long thought of as conservative stocks. Then the resurgence of some banks since the lows of last year made other investors a fortune, with Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC) both soaring about 300% since historic lows on March 9, 2009.
The drama continues in the financial sector even now with the endless see-saw of mortgage default news and the continued worries over sovereign debt in the eurozone. Any investor jumping into financial stocks right now is really taking the tiger by the tail -- but if you do your homework, there a number of opportunities in the sector become clear -- particularly among financials in Latin America.

Best Low-Risk Play for June: Buy Dr Pepper Snapple
It has been a brutal May for most investors. The Dow is down about 10% so far as of the opening bell today, the S&P 500 is down 11% and the Nasdaq off 12%.
So where do we go now? The recent sell off has touched all corners of the market, with even the safe haven of gold taking a tumble. My recommendation to you: Hide out in great blue chip stocks with upside potential for shares and a healthy dividend to help you ride things out when the market gets rocky. My top stock along these lines for June is Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS).
