"The best thing to do in this market volatility is to take a deep breath and say, 'This too shall pass'," says Neil Macneale, who buys only stock split candidates for his 2-for-1 newsletter. Here is his latest.

"In general, getting out of the stock market at this time would be exactly the wrong thing to do. If 'buy low, sell high' means anything, we should be buying stocks now with whatever cash we can find. Otherwise, the ship will sail without us. Of course, given the exact market bottom is not knowable until after the fact.

"Indeed, new purchases may not be perfectly timed, but we continue to believe that it will be better than not buying at all. And because our policy with our 2-for-1 portfolio is to buy something every month, at least one of our purchases over the next several months will be very close to perfectly timed.

"Rofin-Sinar Technologies (NASDAQ: RSTI) is my top speculative pick for 2008," says Neil Macneale, editor of 2-for-1, a newsletter that chooses its portfolio candidates exclusively from stocks that have just announced splits.

"Rofin-Sinar is a cross between an old line manufacturer and a high-tech 'new economy' company. It manufactures lasers used by other manufacturers to weld, cut, and mark various materials.

"Rofin has been in business for 30 years and is a world leader in industrial laser technology. Growth has been steady and significant over the last five years. Earnings have increased an average of 52% a year for five years and justify the above average P/E ratio of 26.5.

"RSTI pays no dividend and has volatility over twice the average for listed companies, so the stock wouldn't be recommended for the 2-for-1 portfolio, but this is a strong business and I see the possibilities for significant outperformance over the next few years."
