To give investors an edge in this volatile market environment, CNBC asked the experts for their best trades now. 

Playing Whisper Numbers

"They’re [Harley Davidson [HOG  Loading...      ()   ]] what we consider a ten-day earnings reactor, meaning within ten days we’re going to see the most price movement for this company… Textron [TXT  Loading...      ()   ] is also a company that reports on the 17th, which is this week. They’re a 20-day reactor so within 20 days when they beat the whisper number we’re expecting a 6.8 percent price move, but when they miss it, a 0 percent move. So there’s no downside… Google [GOOG  Loading...      ()   ] is what we call a high risk momentum reactor.”

- John Scherr, WhisperNumber.com founder

Sector Spotlight: Medical Supplies

“We really love the orthopedic market right now.  It’s got about, in the United States, about five points of unit growth.  Hospitals are making a lot of money on these procedures…So this should be a high single-digit market for the long term.

- Bruce Nudell, UBS Senior Research Analyst

Zimmer [ZMH  Loading...      ()   ], Stryker [SYK  Loading...      ()   ], Abbott [ABT  Loading...      ()   ], Smith & Nephew [SNN  Loading...      ()   ], Johnson & Johnson [JNJ  Loading...      ()   ], Medtronic [MDT  Loading...      ()   ]

'Good to Go' Financials

"Get out of utilities, buy MasterCard [MA  Loading...      ()   ] and Visa [V  Loading...      ()   ], the consumers are good to go, and don't forget about Brazil."

- Joe Clark, Financial Enhancement Group

Thinking Small

“Smaller more value-oriented stocks tend to be a little bit more economically sensitive. They actually started to head down last summer. And just like they led us down, I think they will start to lead us to positive territory as soon as this recover begins.”

- Eric Nelson, Burns Advisory Group Chief Investment Strategist
