Although I'm bearish on the market broadly I’m bullish on IBM. Despite their disappointing earnings, I think the stock is a screaming buy. They have a great balance sheet and a lot of cash on-hand. Just on valuations, IBM looks extremely cheap.Detailed Post on IBM |

Also, FLIR has a great balance sheet. On top of that, I think it’s a digestible company for someone much bigger in the defense space; rival Argon was taken out at a big price.Detailed Post on FLIR |

Photo Credit: Ryan McVay | Lifesize | Getty Images The utility space is worth watching. With a 4.7 percent dividend yield check out Dominion Resources. Talk about too big too fail—if a utility were to go down, I'm all but certain the government would step in!Detailed Post on Dominion Resources |

Photo Credit: Tom Grill | Photographer's Choice RF | Getty Images My value play is Corning. As a maker of glass for computer gadgets they benefit to the whole hand-held craze. Trading at 8 times earnings how can you not love this as a play on computer growth. Also I like Arrow Electronics. Right now its trading at seven times forward earnings, where in the past five years, it has traded at twelve times. At this valuation I'm willing to bet the manufacturing economy is not dead.Detailed Post on Companies |

Photo Credit: ballyscanlon | Stockbyte | Getty Images I believe we’ve reached a yearly low for the market for 2010. In anticipation of a snapback in the second half, I’d look at the technology sector for beta. Google, Amazon and Apple are three stocks in the space worth watching. Detailed Posts on the Companies |
