I was speaking with a client earlier in the day, and I told her that I expected that the market will change course and that we will have a strong rally into year's end. I suggested a few names to her to look into, and she said to me that if I really think that we are going to move up strongly, than we need to buy some high-beta stocks, to try and really bring home some nice profits. I thought she had a very good point and suggested the following two stocks:
Baidu.com (NASDAQ: BIDU): The Chinese web search company has been hit hard over the last month, but interestingly enough, not nearly as bad as the Chinese market has. If my theory that we will have an end-of-year rally holds true, I would expect a strong bounce back for the Chinese market, and as Baidu.com is a large and recognizable Chinese play, I would expect it to move strongly ahead. Keep in mind that China is in the infant stages of e-commerce, and as that market matures, Baidu.com will be at the center of that change.
EMC (NYSE: EMC): The data storage giant has gotten pummeled as spin-off VMware (NYSE: VMW) dropped by more than 35% over the last month. I have recently posted about the fact that EMC is grossly undervalued based on its holding in VMware. What's interesting to note is that when VMware shot up, EMC didn't participate as much as one would have expected based on its ownership. But when VMware took a tumble, investors punished EMC as well. If the market continues its rebound, look for EMC's true value to be unlocked and the stock to really spike higher.
