After much debate I have finally narrowed down my top 5 top picks
for 2012 (early 2012). With the amount of movement in the market right
now it was a tough decision to pick five but here they are.
1. Apple
(AAPL) - Although there has been some debate about whether or not Apple has
reached its peak I believe Apple is just getting started. The Ipad 3
release is on the horizon and Apple is targeting China for sales. Apple
has a love/hate relationship with most people but the one thing that everyone
can agree on is that they are on top for a reason.
2. Home Depot (HD)
- The housing bubble has been popped and growth in the housing industry is on
coming soon. Although house sales might not pick back up for a few years
Home Depot is a solid bet based solely on the popularity of home improvement.
3. Wal Mart (WMT)
- Like Apple, Wal Mart is expanding HUGELY in China. On top of their
expansion worldwide, Wal Mart continues to gain momentum in sales.
4. Baidu (BIDU) -
The infamous Chinese search engine has become a force in Asia that eventually
could rival that of Google. Baidu is growing fast and has the potential
to bring great earnings.
5. Proctor and
Gamble (PG) - A company that has paid dividends faithfully for over 100 years,
Proctor and Gamble is a VERY solid investment. Think of it as investing
in several companies in one since P & G owns several multi-billion dollar
companies.
Overall 2012 is
off to a great start and I am confident that the market will do great things
this year. Feel free to email me with any questions, comments, concerns,
etc at erik@couchcapital.com
Until next time,
Erik Wantland
