To give investors an edge, CNBC asked the market experts for their best stock picks now.

Making Money in Healthcare

“It’s been a brutal marketplace, the healthcare sector, so Express Scripts is in a space, the pharmacy benefit management area, that has kind of been a part of the solution…they’re helping firms and organizations lower their overall medical costs. So as the rhetoric around the healthcare systems increases, we see Express Scripts [EXRX Loading... () ] as a firm that can benefit from that.”

Paul Alan Davis, Schwab Portfolio Manager

Ag Plays

"We like all the fertilizer stocks...In particular, we like the ones that have the potash exposure, and that includes Mosaic [MOS Loading... () ], Potash [POT Loading... () ], and Agrium [AGU Loading... () ]."

Michael Judd, Greenwich Consultants

Betting on Pipelines

"I really like the pipeline area...Enterprise Product Partners [EPD Loading... () ] is a pipeline of natural gas across the United States is a great one. One other would be Enbridge Energy Partners [EEP Loading... () ], which is an oil pipeline, which is bringing the oil from the tar sands in Alberta, Canada, down into the U.S."
