As the trading week gets underway Monday, CNBC asked the pros how to keep your stock portfolio in the green.
Find a Bargain: STC
“What we like here is the company [Stewart Info.] [STC

]is trading significantly below its book value of $42 a share. The stock’s a little bit less than 30 right now. We see earnings power here of over $5 a share in good times. It’s a cyclical company, but you want to buy these when they’re down and out.”

Another Bet on Tech
"If investors want to start increasing their exposure in one part of the market, it should be tech, because it's already reflecting a lot of the bad news ... Technology is something that's going to last a lot longer. Tech is going to give you plenty of growth. Another thing that's interesting about technology, is that from a balance sheet perspective, it has very little debt and it's loaded with cash."

Stick with Commodities
“If we’re suddenly going to take copper back to $4 a pound, if we continue to see wheat trade above $20 a bushel, if we continue to have crude oil over a hundred, then financial assets are going to be in rather dire straights. I’m long on commodities; I’m short on stocks. I’ve been that way for months now, and I’m going to continue to be that way.”
- Dennis Gartman, The Gartman Letter
Bullish on Agrium
“Agrium [AGU
