Stocks had a rocky afternoon as the market lost all its initial gains, then rebounded right before the close. Here's what some of the pros were recommending for investors.

Consider Bond Insurers

"You have Ambac [ABK  Loading...      ()   ]and MBIA [MBI  Loading...      ()   ], which have lost their AAA ratings. Assured Guaranty [AGO  Loading...      ()   ] has its AAA rating, so in the future, as deals get done... [it] now is going to have a lot more market share going forward."

- Matthew Kaufler, Touchstone Value Opportunities

Energize Your Portfolio

"There's plenty of opportunity now. We continue to like energy, and that includes companies like Arch Coal [ACI  Loading...      ()   ] and Swift Energy [SFI  Loading...      ()   ]... and the internet software group has done very, very well: Look at Oracle [ORCL  Loading...      ()   ]; look at Sybase [SY  Loading...      ()   ]. BMC [Software] [BMC  Loading...      ()   ] also looks interesting.

- Barry Ritholtz, Fusion IQ

Outlook on Lehman

"We think Lehman [LEH  Loading...      ()   ], while significant, is probably more company-specific and a crisis of confidence with management than a significant change in fundamentals."

- David Katz, Matrix Asset Advisors
