Playing ‘Out-of-Favor Stocks’

“Emphasize the areas of the economy that you’re seeing great fundamentals. We like technology and we like industrial as part of that play. And then look at the out-of-favor area of the marketplace. And clearly financials might be one area where you may want to start to look for ideas and the discretionary sector is an area we’re starting to look for ideas. We think one of the themes this year is to play the out-of-favor stocks.”

Andrew Feltus, Pioneer Investments Fund Manager

Banking on Banks

Bank of America has surely suffered its share of the pain from the subprime mortgage crisis. Earnings in the fourth quarter were minimal, as it took large markdowns, but this is a strong company. It has weathered storms similar to these in the past, it is trading cheaply at only about ten times this year’s estimates, and it has a great dividend of around six percent.”

Adriana Posada, American Beacon Portfolio Manager

Posada recommends: Bank of America and JPMorgan

Making Money in the Sky

"I believe in uncertain economic times like we have now that good companies go on sale. Southwest is off some 30% from its high last year. It’s definitely a good company with a great balance sheet, so Southwest would be the prime beneficiary of legacy carriers taking capacity out."

- James Parker, Raymond James & Assoc. Airlines Analyst
