In a market where some see the glass almost completely empty, Walter Gerasimowicz sees opportunity.

The founder and chief investment strategist of Meditron Asset Management believes now is the time for the investor to get off the sidelines.

"Many of our clients and investors ask us, 'Where's this market going?' and I tell them, that's the wrong question," he said.  "The real question is: 'Where should I invest now?'"

He also likes industrial services firm Harsco [HSC  Loading...      ()   ] and offshore drilling company Atwood Oceanics [ATW  Loading...      ()   ].
