Guest Post: Superman’s Second Half 2008 Stock Picks

Holding Rationale for PDO.

Unlike most narrow-minded finance freaks, I like to introduce you readers to all strategies, especially proven profitable ones, no matter if they’re not right for me cuz I’ve got the patience of a paparazzi photographer trying to snap shots of ARod & Madonna. So, here are the 2nd half picks of a longer-term trader who likes to buy, not short, speculative names whom I greatly admire, Superman.

Many of you TheLion.com readers know his research/influence is legit, and I’d brag about the incredible performance of his 1st half 2008 picks, but he already does that in the solid guest post below:

The market as we all know, has been in the tank. Oil is rising, the dollar is weakening, the credit crisis continues, and hopes for a second half economic rebound is on the ropes.

China stocks have also been in the tank, EPS or not.

However, I believe, In every market, there are always certain stocks and sectors that will still do well. It is a matter of being very selective with long positions. The industries must be in demand, even in a slowdown.
