Additionally, the company will aggressively grow its pipeline by adding three to five new drugs per year, and advancing the drugs currently in its pipeline. ISIS is a buy under $15. ArcelorMittal(MT) the world's largest steel maker, is one of the best-positioned to benefit from rising demand from emerging markets. The stock trades at less than five times analysts' lowered estimates for 2009 per-share earnings, management has also said its 2009 dividend would be $0.64, for an expected yield of 3.6%. Gold - Will show strength if it stays above its 65-week moving average now at $875 from 2003 to 2007. Of course, if gold reaches a record high, it would be super strong. Jumping ahead, in a bull market gold always stays higher than its prior low. This means that during weakness gold should stay above $705, last November’s low, in order to stay bullish. In a worst case, the previous low in June 2007 would be the absolute low point for a bull market to stay active, at $645. Silver - It’s now overbought for the time being. Silver had an impressive rise, but it remains below its 65-week moving average and, therefore, it’s vulnerable below $14.60. It could decline to $11.70 but it would still be firm. Once weakness is over, it will be time to buy silver again because the long-term leading indicator shows that a major low is forming. It’s now important to see if gold will form an eight year cyclical low by the summer time. But one thing is certain, be prepared to buy more gold, silver and their shares when upcoming weakness is about over. Otherwise, keep the positions you have, such as our recommended holdings in SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), iShares Comex Gold (IAU) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV).

TheStockAdvisors - General Electric(GE) has a strong balance sheet, a strong cash position, a very diversified portfolio, and a long history of surviving crisis. GE is a big player in infrastructure, energy, aviation and medical technology - and at current prices, we'd argue that investors get a chunk of all those concentrations for practically nothing. Windstream(WIN) rural communications leader Windstream Corp's hefty yield is squarely backed by a strong business that’s proving its worth under the toughest conditions. The company stands to gain from federal spending under President Obama’s stimulus package. The upshot is one of the safest 12% yields around, along with the potential for strong appreciation as the market’s current risk premium on the share price unwinds. Buy Windstream Corp. -- which I also consider a potential takeover target -- up to 10. For those looking to trade the energy sector, we are recommending positions in Direxion 3X Energy Bull ETF (ERX) and Transocean (RIG).
