To give investors an edge, CNBC asked the market pros for their best investment advice now.

Making $$ On High Oil Prices

“Under these conditions I would give first priority to companies that aren’t dependent on increases in oil prices from this level or even current oil prices, and Golar [GLNG  Loading...      ()   ] is in liquefied natural gas, which is not affected immediately or directly by the level of oil prices, and they’re a company that’s converting tankers into liquefied natural gas storage and regasification, and that’s a growth business.”

- Phil Dodge, Stanford Group

Info Tech Plays

"Our best trade now is Eclipsys [ECLP  Loading...      ()   ]...They are a provider of hospital-focused solutions, and we think that this is one of the best fundamental stories if you look at the group over the last 12 months."

- Todd Weller, Stifel Nicolaus

Weller also likes: Allscripts [MDRX  Loading...      ()   ], Quality Systems [QSII  Loading...      ()   ] and Cerner [CERN  Loading...      ()   ].

Stick With Stocks

"The market doesn't have a terribly...robust picture going forward, but nevertheless, compared to 4 percent yield on 10-year Treasurys, I think stocks have the opportunity to outperform that by 5 to 6 percent over the next nine months."

- David Sowerby, Loomis Sayles

Sowerby likes: Applied Materials [AMAT  Loading...      ()   ], Corning [GLW  Loading...      ()   ], Harris Corporation [HRS  Loading...      ()   ], Fossil [FOSL  Loading...      ()   ] and Dr. Pepper Snapple [DPS  Loading...      ()   ].
