 For the most part our cash needs are met by a paycheck, until of course you no longer have one.

 One of our favorite places to look for turnaround candidates is a list of the worst performers in a certain segment of the market. Because investor sentiment can change very rapidly, today’s dogs often become tomorrow’s darlings, and those who are willing to go against the crowd can reap significant profits.Among the worst performers in the S&P 500 index since the market hit its lows last June are Apple (AAPL), F5 Networks (FFIV), J.C. Penney (JCP) and Monster Beverage (MNST). Read more...

 Our latest Top Ten list has an impressive crop of stocks with good stories and charts that have shown large recent buying power (usually on earnings).
