CNBC.com Writer
Global markets have been rattled in recent weeks by concerns over debt trouble in Greece. But could this be an opportunity for U.S. investors to benefit from bonds and stocks coming out of at-risk European countries? James Altucher, managing director at Formula Capital, shared his stock picks.

“I think what you can do is buy stocks that are based in Greece, but trade here that have the most potential for snapback.”
