Charles Campbell, senior sales trader at Miller Tabak, and Jim Iuorio, director at TJM Institutional Services weighed in on the best places to invest now.

Recommendations:

Campbell's Picks:

Consumer Discretionary SPDR [XLY  Loading...      ()   ]—“It’s up almost 38 percent. That’s outpaced broad market events,” Campbell told CNBC.

Campbell added that investors will be watching Wal-Mart’s [WMT  Loading...      ()   ] earnings numbers due Thursday morning.

He said that “if consumers continue to be stretched, and Wal-Mart has trouble getting their merchandise out the door, then that is not an encouraging sign for other retailers.”

Iuorio's Picks:

ProShares UltShrt Fin ETF [SKF  Loading...      ()   ]—“Every time we’ve had a rally, every time we’ve had a break, it seems like the banks have been in the forefront. A lot of people don’t know that you can short the banks by buying these inverse financial ETFs,” said Iuorio.

Titanium Metals [TIE  Loading...      ()   ]—"A lot of titanium is used for defense and so when the administration changed from a 'saber rattling' to a 'peace-loving' one, people sold [Titanium Metals]," he said of the company. "But they forget that it’s also used in health care and sporting goods."

Disclosure:

No immediate information was available for Campbell or Iuorio.
