As the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P open the trading week in negative territory, CNBC asked the pros how to keep your investments toward the upside.
Chow Down on Fast Food Stocks
"We would prefer the fast-food names, particularly in the near term. Some of these names have significant international exposure, they have great exposure to things like breakfast, late-night areas that actually have per capita consumption on the rise, and less exposure to the dinner segment, where you're already seeing a recession of sorts."
David Palmer, UBS Senior Restaurant Analyst

] is a company that has a great history of earning money. They've sort of lost their way; they've brought in new leadership from the outside. We think it's a great cost-reduction story going forward."
- Matthew Kaufler, Touchstone Value Opportunities Portfolio Manager
Bet on Energy, Health Care & Financials
"There’s a lot of great opportunities out there with low interest rates and reasonable valuations. We still think the energy sector is a good place to be putting fresh money. Health care is a great place to put money. If you’re looking at the financials, we think the smaller life insurance segment has some great values out there."
- Elizabeth Miller, Trevor Stewart Burton & Jacobsen
Bullish on Large-Caps
"I'm looking for things that have been overly beaten up. And that’s a fine strategy tactically for those who are bullish long-term. But for those who are really positive on this market structurally ... I’d recommend [that they] continue to look at large-cap tech, large-cap industrials, and energy companies-- as we do believe while the global economy will slow down with the U.S. is going into a mild recession, we do think the structural story of these companies is quite strong and the valuations don’t reflect that."
- David Bianco, UBS Chief Equity Strategist
