Overall, the market looks worrisome, said Bob Phillips, senior partner at Spectrum Management Group.
“QE2’s going to end sometime in June and we cannot determine how to rank the probabilities of what that means,” Phillips told CNBC.
Phillips’ stock picks include Prudential , Qualcomm and MasterCard .
“We think [Prudential] fundamentally is a strong company…and we think the stock is cheap around 10 times this year’s earnings and maybe 9 times next year’s,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Phillips said he expects disruptions ahead and recommended investors to “think about raising 20 percent of cash in their portfolios” because of the uncertainty.
