Costa Likes:

Microsoft [MSFT  Loading...      ()   ]—“I’ve been playing with the Bing, the new search engine, and it’s not bad," Costa told CNBC. "When they sell every Windows-based computer, they’ll have it on so they’ll have a built-in market...It will be a competitor to Google [GOOG  Loading...      ()   ] and this company has a ton of cash…I still think it has a long way to go.”

Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF [VCR  Loading...      ()   ]—“A lot of underlying power in the consumer that over the next 6 to 9 months, it’s going to start rolling out," he said. "People are going to start spend more… It has a broad mix of companies in it that will help benefit the ETF.”

Bobrinskoy Likes:

Johnson & Johnson [JNJ  Loading...      ()   ]—“We think earnings are going to be up…it’s just way too cheap here,” said Bobrinskoy.

IMS Health [RX  Loading...      ()   ]

Accenture [ACN  Loading...      ()   ]—“We still think there’s great value. People are worried about what they do with financial companies but there’s going to be long-term IT services growth around the world and Accenture is way too cheap at less than 12 times earnings,” he said.

Disclosure:

No immediate information was available for Bobrinskoy or Costa.
