"Intel (INTC: Research, Estimates) is one stock that is beaten up, inexpensive, and obviously has great long term visibility of earnings," said Timothy Ghriskey, senior equity portfolio manager at Dreyfus Corp.
"Philip Morris (MO: Research, Estimates) which is going to do a partial IPO of their Kraft food business in the first half. We think is a great story. Your getting a great dividend here. The litigation is really on the down side for tobacco," Ghriskey said.
"The communications sector really beaten up, but we like it a lot. And the regional Bells, BellSouth (BLS: Research, Estimates) and Verizon (VZ: Research, Estimates) they have been -- are the winners against the CLECs, which are really in disarray. So, we would take a great defensive bet there," he asserted.
Intel is trading up $1.81 to $35.06 with a 52-week high of $75.81 and a 52-week low of $31.25.
Philip Morris is trading up 81 cents to $42.13 with a 52-week high of $41.81 and a 52-week low of $18.68.
BellSouth is trading down $2.50 to $41.38 with a 52-week high of $53.50 and a 52-week low of $34.93.
