Top 10 stocks to buy right now – A year after the mortgage crisis

After my post on the best stocks to buy here is my list of top 10 stocks to buy right now. The reason that I came up with these was that after the mortgage crisis that hit us last years I want to see where we are and what are the top 10 stocks that withstood the carnage and are still doing good.

A lot of people felt that this coming year the best performing stocks will be the ones which are pure infrastructure plays as Mr. president told us his plans to revive the economy using the building up of bridges and the roads and what now. For that we will have to wait and see . One of the fellow investors I know picked up big in Chicago Bridge and Iron (CBI).

My  top 10 picks for the future are

General Electric (GE) – With some help from the bailout gurus and the overall economy improving GE will be able to overcome its past and will be able to giove you stuependous returns in future. You will need to hold it for some time.

Google (GOOG) – This Company has the leadership of the advertising dollars on the internet and there are no threats. Microsoft (MSFT) and Yahoo (Yhoo) are way behind even with their alliance.

Wal Mart (WMT) – The retailer can do no wrong and has the best interest of the consumers in mind. It has the ability to be recession proof.

BHP Billiton ( BHP) – the best in the pack when it comes to minerals and with demand and the overall economy improving this stock will perform the best.

American Express ( AXP) -  The financial powerhouse has been able to withstand all the storms including the recession as well as the onslaught of all the card companies. This was down quite a bit last year and the start of this year. It is a good company to pocket right now.

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) – Warren Buffet can do no wrong including his succession plans. This company has all the best holdings and also bought into some good banks with cash during the mortgage crisis.

Transocean(RIG)

McDonald’s (MCD) – The economy is on the rise and nothing is better than that for food companies and the company that is poised to gain is McDonald’s.

Amazon (AMZN) – Low prices and the absence of the high costs of buildings makes this ideal for the shoppers looking for a bargain. Amazon does it best on the internet

Cemex (CX) – This Company is screaming buy right now as its very cheap. But with all the infrastructure projects in the pipeline in the coming years this company will benefit.

For picking up this list I looked at all the sectors and tried to see if they can be sustained in any sort crisis. The PE ration was good start however that was not the only reason.

Well all this works well if you have the well defined stock trading strategies and some of these are not necessarily, what you call as the top blue chip stocks
