To help investors get their portfolios ready for next week, CNBC asked the market pros for their best stock picks now.

Stocks Under $10

“I think Motorola’s [MOT  Loading...      ()   ] a buy here.  You look at the handset division, and it’s so easy to tear it apart.  So many analysts really think it’s going to go a lot lower, they’re losing market share, but they do have other aspects of their business that are worth an excess of $9 a share.”

Father's Day Stock Plays

On Harley Davidson [HOG  Loading...      ()   ]: “Here’s a stock that back in November, 2006, was trading at $74 a share.  We’re now down 47 percent on this stock, but yet their sales are up 2.7 percent year-over-year…It’s time to buy the bike and the stock.”

- Brent Wilsey, Wilsey Asset Management President

Wilsey also likes: Dick's Sporting Goods [DKS  Loading...      ()   ], Men's Wearhouse [MW  Loading...      ()   ] and O'Reilly Automotive [ORLY  Loading...      ()   ].

The Friday Trade

“The dollar’s probably been beaten to levels that make it very stable at these levels.  I don’t think it’s going to run back up, and I think that is probably in the best interest of most Americans, and most American-based companies.  You look at companies like Procter & Gamble [PG  Loading...      ()   ], 180 products that help people all over the world flush, wash and brush—they’re going to continue to do great, and as long as the dollar doesn’t make a sharp rally, I think that kind of story continues.”
