"My 2011 stock market 'top pick' would be a 4-fund growth portfolio," suggests Jim Lowell.

The editor of Fidelity Investor explains, "This would include a 30% position in Fidelity Focused Stock (FTQGX) and 30% in the iShares Dow Jones US Index (IYY), coupled with 10% in ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (TBT) and 10% in Fidelity Floating Rate High Income (FFRHX).

This post is part of a special annual report -- Top Stock Picks '09 -- in which TheStockAdvisors.com asked 75 leading newsletter advisors to select their favorite investment for the new year.

"As we head into 2009's turbulent waters, it will take two oars to keep a straight course; as such, for my top pick for 2009, I am selecting a pair of ETFs," notes fund expert Jim Lowell.

In his Marketwatch ETF Trader, the advisor explains, "iShares Dow Jones U.S. Total Market (NYSE: IYY) covers the market broadly, while WisdomTree International Small Cap Dividend Fund (NYSE: DLS) has a more focused manner."

"Buying the broader market in 2008 was a sucker's bet; make that a sucker punch. But in 2009, it's neither an act of courage nor a fool's errand to 'buy the market.'

"After all, the likelihood of the markets selling into oblivion has arguably been priced into current levels, making the total market a deeply discounted stream worth stepping into in 2009.
