NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Top money managers and analysts appeared on CNNfn this week to discuss what stocks they are buying and why. Here's a brief rundown of those recommendations, culled from CNNfn.com's daily feature, "Stock Picks by the Pros."
On Friday, Robert Hoehn, managing director and healthcare services analysts at ING Barings, made a case for some HMOs. His picks were CIGNA, United Healthcare and Foundation Health.
Salomon Smith Barney Technology Strategist Andrew Barrett found that stocks in online retailers are the perfect gift to give for the 4th quarter.

Thursday, Liz Miller, portfolio manager at Trevor Stewart Burton & Jacobsen, said coming through the last quarter with reasonable profits was a close shave for Gillette (G), but she likes the stock. Patricia Chadwick, director of U.S. equities at Invesco, told us why she likes Amazon.com (AMZN).

On Wednesday, hedge fund manager Greg Kuhn of Kuhn Asset Management was short the market, saying there are "two major problems with the market -- extremely low liquidity and extreme overvaluation." On the other hand, Kuhn said, two stocks are worth keeping a stake in.

On Tuesday, Peter Canello, U.S. investment strategist at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, found value in bank stocks, saying they are "are incredibly cheap. They've lost about half of the relative performance they've made in the last nine years. They're less than half of the market P/E. If you want bargains, look for good core banks that are going to gobble up smaller banks, stocks like Wells Fargo (WFC) or Bank of America (BAC), even the beaten-down Bank One Corp. (ONE)."

"The last thing the market needs," said Andrea Williams, technology analyst at E-offering, "is another 250 public Internet companies. I think this is the biggest threat to Internet valuations."
Williams does, however, like established Internet-related firms AOL (AOL) and Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO).
Another Monday guest, Mark Basham, IPO analyst at Standard & Poor's, saw potential in several IPOs. One is Foundry Networks (FDRY), which closed yesterday at 126.
