"We have a bent towards growth companies, with new products or services that are producing major sales and earnings growth; nevertheless, we're also students of the market, and we believe that the recent 're-IPO' at General Motors (GM) provides a big opportunity for investors," says Mike Cintolo.

The editor of Cabot Market Letter explains, "Granted, we're not going to predict that the stock is going to triple or quadruple; we're talking about a company with well over $100 billion in annual revenue.

"If you are looking for a momentum name, with a reasonable valuation and plenty of gas in the tank, consider Autoliv (ALV) -- our top pick for 2011 -- for your portfolio," says Todd Salomone.

The contributing editor to Schaeffer's Investment Research explains, "Auto supplier stocks were among the strongest sectors in 2010, but it appears many investors missed out on the outperformance.

"Ford (F) looks like a 'no-brainer' trade; there are many things to like about the world's fourth largest automaker, which appears to be on a major growth trajectory," says Dr. Melvin Pasternak.

The editor of Double-Digit Trading explains, "In addition to strong fundamentals and a compelling valuation, the technicals for Ford shares look very enticing.

"For starters, it was the only major U.S. automaker able to skirt bankruptcy during the financial crisis. And due to aggressive cost cutting, it is on target to have one of its strongest years ever.

"In the emerging markets arena, India frequently plays second-fiddle to China; but investors should not be deceived: India offers plenty of opportunities, such as Tata Motors (TTM)," says Brandon Clay.

The editor of Invest with an Edge explains "Tata is India's top automaker and the owner of the Jaguar and Land Rover luxury brands.

"India is the second-largest country in the world by population. It's also growing fast, but not as fast as China. The government wants to see annual economic growth top 10%. That's good stuff.

"Ford Motor Company (F), publicly traded since 1956, was the only major U.S. automaker to avoid bankruptcy during the 2008 to 2009 financial crisis," notes Dr. Melvin Pasternak.

The editor of Double-Digit Trading explains, "Ford didn't just skirt bankruptcy -- it has begun to flourish. Here's a look at the bull technicals and fundamentals behind this company.

"This July, the world's fourth-largest automaker reported its best quarterly profit since 2004. The company also achieved strong earnings gains for the fifth straight quarter.

"The Cabot China-Timer has flashed a new buy signal, telling us the trend of Chinese and emerging market stocks has turned back up. No one knows how long this signal will persist, and you shouldn't try to guess. Instead, your best move is to go with the evidence, which is now bullish," observes Paul Goodwin.

The editor of The Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report explains, "India's Tata Motors (TTM), the largest truck and auto maker in the subcontinent, has been a little of both over the years, but it looks like the time is right for a new advance.

"Everyone likes to find a bargain, and those of us that invest in stocks are no different; I am always on the lookout for great a company trading at a healthy discount," says Ian Wyatt.

In his Top Stock Insights, he explains, "If we have learned anything from the past few years it's that good companies can have bad quarters and see their stock price fall.

"When I'm bargain hunting I will always keep in mind two things. First, why is the stock trading at a discount? Second, can the company recover? If the company can recover from the problem quickly, then I will buy that stock. Such is the case with Toyota Motor Company (TM).

Not your typical vehicle maker, Thor Industries (THO) specializes in small and mid-sized buses. Its key customers are local governments, but also include rental car companies and hotels that have their own private transportation needs.

As the recession has taken hold, many municipalities and businesses are seeing less revenue and are opting to delay the purchase of bigger buses in favor for Thor's smaller and more affordable coaches.

With the number one auto market in the world, Chinese auto stocks could deliver truly amazing profits in 2010 as the economic recovery gains momentum. China's Kandi Technologies (KNDI) is a small company that designs and manufactures all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and scooters.

The company does the majority of its business in Asian urban centers, where motorcycles and scooters are staples, since they are more affordable to consumers with lower income and provide greater mobility and fuel efficiency than cars.

Ford Motor Co. (F) has turned over a new leaf in 2010, starting this year with a heck of a lot more promise than the last. Last weekend, Ford nabbed the North American Car of the Year honors at the Detroit auto show for its Fusion hybrid -- and quickly followed that up with the Truck of the Year award for its European-styled Transit Connect van. All this on the heels of impressive December sales numbers.

Ford reported an increase of 32% in its sales for December compared to last year, while GM and Chrysler saw significant drops. What's more, auto sales in general are growing. The final figure of about 1 million vehicles sold in December marks the second-best month of 2009 after August, showing that the industry is looking up for 2010.

Now that GM and Chrysler are mired in turnarounds and still hemorrhaging sales, a select group of auto stocks will step into the void to gain market share and see huge growth in 2010.

December sales figures show the best month for automakers since the August boom caused by "Cash for Clunkers." This is extremely significant since it shows that pent-up demand is catching up with consumers and that the worst may be over for auto stocks that weathered the downturn successfully.
